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.”

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.

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.

New Movements Emerging
.NEW YORK From the riots of Berkeley
in July, to the confrontation at Chicago in
August, to campus protests as they have un
folded this fall the'old definitions of “correct
political struggle” are under attack, and new
forms are beginning to emerge.
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. That confrontation
was for many'the climactic moment in a whole
series of events stretching from ‘the 1963 death
of Jack Kennedy past the dissolution of the

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^,

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 ,
