I From the State, \ I Nation & World h The World Thieu Opposes NFL Role in Peace Talks SAIGON President Nguyen Van Thieu was reported yesterday to have refused to yield in his opposition to letting the Viet Cong’s National Liberation Front have a separate role in peace talks. This would set back prospects for an early break through in U.S. efforts to get the preliminary peace talks in Paris moving forward. South Vietnamese sources who have access to official information said U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker has accepted Thieu’s position as final and has told Washington that further efforts to persuade the president to change his mind are hopeless, at least for the/present. The U.S. mission declined to comment on this report. The informants said Thieu was unbending on the sub ject of letting the front take part in peace negotiations. He met yesterday with Bunker for nearly two hours. It Was their seventh meeting in the past 10 days. ★ ★ ★ South Vietnam To Release Prisoners SAIGON In what has generally been regarded as a peace gesture, the South Vietnamese government plans to release before the end of betober 140 prisoners of war. The first government announcement said all these, Were Viet Cong, but a government spokesman reported yesterday that 40 of them are North Vietnamese soldiers. An official source said many of the 40 are disabled. Small groups of North Vietnamese prisoners have been freed before. While negotiations and talk of possible peace moves continued, the war in Vietnam also went on, mostly in the air. The U.S. Command said improved weather Thursday permitted 12 missions against the southern panhandle of North Vietnam and said “the enemy’s supply system was hit hard as the pilots bombed fuel stores, warehouses and bunker complexes.” The Nation Clifford Says U.S. Leads in Arms Race WASHINGTON Secretary of Defense Clark M. Clif ford declared yesterday the United States holds substantial military superiority over the Soviet Union even though his figures showed the strategic lead has dwindled. Clifford said he wasn’t trying to pick a political fight but he nevertheless tossed out new data on missiles, bomb ers and submarines which obviously were meant to chal lenge remarks by former Vice President Richard M. Nixon. The Republican presidential/candidate had accused the pemocrats of leaving the nation with a “gravely serious security gap” which should be replaced by' clear-cut su periority under a new administration. “I was comforted when I came into the department to find the extent of the superiority which we had over the Soviets,” Clifford responded at a Pentagon news confer ence. “I have continued in that direction.” ★ ★ Gafsdidates'Campaign Throughbut Nation LOS ANGELES Hubert H. Humphrey accused Richard M. Nixon yesterday of “playing politics with our national security.” He denied his Republican opponent’s statement that Democratic administrations permitted a “security gap” between U.S. and Soviet military power. “In an effort to catch votes he is playing politics with our national security, undermining the confidence of our allies, encouraging a recklessness among our enemies and undermining our long and patient efforts to bring a rational end to the madness of the strategic arms race/’ said Humphrey. He made the statement in reply to a Nixon radio broadcast Thursday night which pledged to close a “ser ious security gap” caused by misjudgment of Soviet in tentions by the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. NEW YORK Republican presidential nominee Rich ard M. Nixon said yesterday he has learned that President Johnson is “driving very hard” for agreement on a Viet nam bombing halt, and possibly a cease-fire in the im mediate future. Nixon issued a statement reporting he has been ad vised of a flurry of White House meetings in the last 36 hours dealing with the effort to move toward peace in Southeast Asia. • From that starting point, he moved on to report— and deny—what he called rumors and speculation that “this spurt of activity is a cynical; last-minute attempt by John son to salvage the candidacy” of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, the Democratic presidential nominee. “This I do not. believe,” Nixon said. He said Johnson has made it clear “he will not play politics” with this war. TRENTON, N.J. George C. Wallace concentrated his presidential efforts in industrial communities in New Jer sey and Pennsylvania yesterday, and at his first stop here he found a predominantly friendly audience but as always, the hecklers too. A group of several hundred young protesters made it difficult for many in the crowd of 4,000 in the Trenton Armory to hear the third party candidate. When the pro-Wallace part of the audience did cut loose with cheers, however, the hecklers themselves' were drowned out. Many of the shouting, foot-stomping demonstrators t were from Trenton High School, which in recent months has encountered racial tensions and fist fights between Negro and white students. The hecklers in the armory crowd were about evenly divided between whites and Negroes. Priests Ask for Archbishop's Resignation SAN ANTONIO, Tex. A high-ranking Roman Cath olic priest, saying he could no longer endure conditions in the giant San Antonio Archdiocese, announced yesterday he has resigned as a part of his and 50 other priests’ de mand that their archbishop give up his. post. The Rev. John Paul Klein, 29, vice chancellor of the archdiocese, said a major reason he decided resign was the “pyramid structure of church authority which has little hope of substantial reform.” The priest submitted his resignation Thursday—the day he and 50 other'priests announced they have asked Pope Paul VI for the resignation of Archbishop Robert E. Lucey. The archbishop will be 78 in March and his age was cited as one of several reasons for asking him to (step down as spiritual leader, of, a half million Roman; Catholics. There are 448 priests Under Archbishop Lucey. The State Clark and Schweiker Address NAACP ERIE U.S. Sen. Joseph Clark and U.S. Rep. Richard Schweiker agreed yesterday that black and white racism, should be stopped. t Answering questions before the state convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple, the two candidates for the U.S.'Senate were asked how they' .stood on 'white racism. . • There is too much of it, answered Clark, and he pointed to the third party presidential candidacy of George Wal lace as proof. He said he had-spent his entire political life against white; bigotry. 8 , What's Inside BLACK CULTURE ......

The character of the challenge is slowly taking shape: the content of the issues raised is more inconsequential to the action taken; the deference to an established leadership is all but forgotten and any sense of the total political ef fect of an act is very nearly irrelevant. - A mood is spreading in the wake of these shifts.’ The new style activists gladly leave-to the older "political types” the questions of idetology. Rhetoric, so revered in the past, serves young militants of today as little more than a pretext for greater belligerence. ' Now Ready To Move The students involved this year want action and they are ready to move whether they have a clearly defined “analysis of racism and im perialism” in their back pockets or not. The act of defiance alone is creating its own rationale. The "Movement” is becoming less and less the medium. It is perhaps the most important clash of sensibilities within the youth Left since Negroes declared for- black power and white radicals began redefining the doctrine of non violence. ' . - .... The crucial case in .point was the Demo cratic National Convention.

By BILL FREELAND College Press Service Offer North An Existential Analysis of Student Riot Great Society, into an increasingly savage war, concluding with one or two exquisitely placed assassinations and the automated nominations of Nixon and Humphrey ior President. Distilled within this short, traumatic half decade are sources of hostility and frustration powerful enough to infect a who.e generation. It is no longer necessary to join a protest move* ment to confront these realities. The patent ab* surdities, the unending violence have become as predictable as the six o'clock news. Pure Chaos Threatens _ Shattered, in all of this, has been the sense of an orderly progression of political con sciousness. The anti-racism-imperialism move ment (which had replaced the anti-war move ment, which had replaced the civil rights movement), appears itself threatened>by .pure chaos. While each movement served for its time, one sensed through them all that they were provincial in scope. Oddly, they touched only a - small part of what still troubles the great mass of Americans. Other, more fundamental ques tions remained more deeply felt needs to which no voice in our national life has yet spoken. The American environment, for too many people, simply does not permit a satisfactory way of living. But if these conflicts must re- main unresolved, for many young people at least, they will not go unexpressed. Thus,. in 1968, for thousands of kids from high schools and colleges all over the, country, the Democratic Party became the ob ject, the convention became the time and the Conrad Hilton became the place. There for one, brief, incredible moment, everything was out in the-open, and America glimpsed for perhaps About 200 Penn State students, including “Presidential candidate” Jonathan Rich, went to Hershey yesterday to “cheer” for George Wallace in the Sports Arena. Using tactics adopted twice before, they joined about 400 other college and high school students in interrupting his speech “every minute or so” with prolonged cheering. A “Jon Rich for President” banner was prominently displayed in the forefront of the group, after being smuggled in under one stu dent's coat. When the high school and college students disrupted his speech. Wallace told them. “When my Attorney General gets into office, your kind of people will be dealt with by the legal authori ties.” The program started with country and western music. Wallace entered surrounded by local union officials and bodyguards. After introducing the officials he began a prepared speech. “Happy to see you all herc...l expect to do well m Pennsylvania. I expect 34 percent of the vote and to carry the electoral college...” and the students began to cheer. “We love you George.. George, you’re beautiful . . . George, my brother . . “Thank you. thank y0u...” Wallace, unaware lor the moment that the cheers were jeers, paused for acknowledgement. Later he used his customary tactics to counter the heckling raising the volume of the amplification system and throwing insults back. “You're giving me a million votes every time you demonstrate... Get a haircut'” he said, pulling at his hair with a mocking gesture. “Haircut, Haircut, •Haircut!” the students responded. At one point, several black students from Cedar Cliff High School removed their white undershirts and pulled them over their heads to simulate hood-wearing Ku Klux Klan members, then raised their black-gloved fist to signify black unity. At least two eggs were thrown, into the section containing the students, apparently aimed at the blacks. Robert Smith, a WDFM announcer was struck in the back with a JONATHAN RICH (second from left), Penn State's already infamous candidate for Pres ident, awaits car ride to Hershey to hear George Wallace. Rich proposed to debate Wallace, saying, "If he can run, why can't I?" Justice Douglas Says Army Not Above Law (he first time just how deeply the divisions really run. Somewhere, not very long ago, a turning point of sorts was passed. One senses within the student movement a kind of break with the past. One secs the word “student” becoming too restrictive; the indictment against American society, once the property of a desperate, suspicious bearded minority, has been joined in by a new host both on and off the campus which defies simple classification. Already they are making their presence felt, but in ways that don’t always fit tradi tional models for political action. 1 - Last week, for example. New York Univer sity students mobilized militant backing over many older radicals condemn as passe reinstatement of a fired professor. But if the issue was outdated, the tactics certainly were not. Students took over two campus buildings, bombed two dorms and disrupted the univer sity’s telephone system as an expression of their support. Campus politicos moved in to broaden the issues, but almost before they could call a rally for that purpose, most of the protesters had returned quietly to their regular student roles. These new activists, many of whom date their changed perspective as recently as, for example, Time’s' cover story on Columbia, seem to be looking for .more personal, more im mediate forms of involvement without a regard for correctness of strategy and ideology. • These new revolutionary recruits, of course, may just -be politically naive as many older radicals contend. On the other hand, it could be they no longer need the remote Great Issues, so important to the move ment until now, to motivate them to action^, S/ac/c Courser splattering egg. State Police lining the arena floor immediately searched a group of Wallace supporters who were leaning on the railing above the bleachers. » At several points the students roared, a “Siog Hcil! ,, Wallace continued unruffled, rais ing the volume until the distractions were drowned out. Wallace successfully drowned out the clap ping. at one point throwing kisses to the hecklers. He said. “You’d better have your day now. because after Nov. 5 you’re through.” About 30 Wallace Girls stood at the side of the stage, cheering in unison. State troopers circulated through the audience and stood at the doors. One stopped A 1 Dunning (7th-speech- Yardlcy) and. pointing to his camera, asked, “What’s that?” “It’s a camera with a telephoto lense,” the astonished Dunning said. The guard seized it and peered in suspiciously, “as if to make sure it wasn’t a shotgun in disguise.” said Dunning. Several Penn State students who were cheering Walace in earnest told the hecklers alter the speech that they were “a disgrace to Penn State.” Rich (Jon Gingrich) said “I think we ac complished more by going to Hershey, and being disruptive than by staying home and re maining silent. Wallace’s candidacy must be viewed m the proper light. His refusal to deal with racial stnlc in the country should be made known to everyone m Pennsylvania and the United Slates.” Wallace charged that some of the students who diM'upt his presidential campaign rallies are draft dodgers “who use federal money to go to school and who in some instances fly the Viet Cong flag.” Except for the several hundred students, most of the estimated 5.000 onlookers gave Wallace a warm reception. Most cheered wildly when Wallace criticized the demonstrators, and afterwards, many said they expected a Wallace victory on Nov. 5. “This country needs a change,” a young woman trom Hershey said. “And those kids need to be taught some manners.’* a declared war. They were scheduled to leave for Vietnam yesterday their lawyer had told the court last week. However, Douglas said, they were moved to Vietnam on Thursday, so that they would be on their way to war before the court could con sider their case at its regular conference yesterday. “This hurried calculated change in military plans has deprived petitioners (the Guardsmen) of the full hearing to which they are entitled.” Douglas said. Douglas in the past has criticized his col leagues for refusing to pass on the legality of the undeclared war m Vietnam and on a variety of constitutional challenges raised by men sent to fight and by others who protest, resist induction and are jailed. That they feel the need to act can be justifica tion enough. That certainly was the rationale during this summer's riots in Berkeley. Despite the cons tant flow of rhetoric from- the “leadership,” it was ; the continuing'possibility of confrontation with the police that brought people into streets each night. “The streets belong to the people,” was the cry. The appeal was un complicated and direct perhaps even primitive but it moved people to action. Al ter that level of involvement, explanations about its political significance be6ame merely boring. In this shifting mood, demand for the development of a unified revolutionary move ment is more apd more conflicting with the • way younger ‘‘revolutionaries” individually want to live. They need to find a combination of life, style and politics in an atmosphere where neither impulse implies a contradiction of the goals of the other. In the process the movement seems headed into some kind of clash between “generations.” Already older radicals express suspicion over “these Joe-College-Come-Lately radicals” many of whom, they are quick to point out, were equally committed to Gene McCarthy just two months ago. 'Hie neophytes, on the other hand, are just as quick to criticize their detractors for acting like members of “some old veterans group.” Neither description is accurate, but of course that has never been the point. The fact is that what started out as a small campus movement is very quickly being transformed into a sensibility with ties to aspirations of a whole generation. i , —See Page 2 A, SEVEN CENTS
