A substantial amount of derogatory security information has been developed in connection with the petitioner, and it is felt that he docs not meet Ihe criteria mentioned as to being reputable, and considerable doubt has arisen with regard to any meritorious features of Ihis case. "It is reported that on his subsequent visit to the U.S.

embassy in Moscow, he slated he had been completely relieved of his illusions about Soviet Union, and also that much of the and arrogance which characterized i first visit appeared to have lefl him. These unsupported declarations are not sufficient to lieye the doubts which have arisen regarding his loyally to the U.S. Sanctions will not he waived, and the petition should be denied."

ALEXANDER A whole year of falalitics in Viet Nam would not match the self-slaughter in which Americans indulge every holiday weekend. Many of the wounds the casually lists are: no more grevious than those acquired for fun and profit on the football fields, but the suffered in battle are honorable I am sure that most of the officers and''nicn in Viet Nam feel this way, and I think the.American public should fed the same'. Out of this crucible, we can emerge as a nation of greatness such as history has never Nam is where we, a re going lo take rear-echelon losses which might be prevented. The Christmas Eve bombing of a Saigon BOQ, costing us two deaths and 60-some persons injured, is regarded as acceptable. We are not precautions that might prevent a repetition, and Ihe reason is a fas- cinaling one in the field of character building.

We will not overprotect our nationals in Viet Nam because to do that would set us apart from other peoples in the same danger. If we set, ourselves apart in Viet Nam, we would be chased out of (he country as the French were. We are going lo a our Jumps in individual and wholesale assassination because that is the right tactics for this sort of war. Americans in Viet Nam know lhat, and if the American public can come lo know it, our country will experience a growth in stature that would be more remarkable than all our wealth. In Viet Nam a wonder of wonders we have at last mastered the use of foreign aid.

such words. For years years all way back lo Lend in Rooscvcll's time our various administrations have fumbled around at friendship buying, and I Ihink have poured my share of ridicule upon that futile process. Bui in Vicl Nam we have found the handle. While was inlcr- viewing Sam Wilson, our assistant director of the U.S. mission, the 40 Ihousandlh Iowa piglcl arrived, passed through quaran- Ime and was air-shipped to a Viclnamese peasant.

With the piglet went corn ami some cement. The peasant will build a pre-pUnned pigsty, feed Ihe pig the join co-op with wber peasants. Communists cannot match this gift and cannol take it away without losing support of the peasantry. Living in or near the village-at the risk of his life i.s (ho American adviser on agronomy and other home economics This is bravery on the same level as it shows in battle, in the bomb-risk barracks anrl even on Ihe Saigon streets Americans show complete contempt for the danger thai lies around. In Viet Nam, too, we exhibited during December the kind of diplomatic leadership for which some of us grandstand critics have been howling for years.

Very paid the piper and we called the tune. For the $2 million a day Which we pump into South Viet Nam, our Ambassador Taylor asserted the right to chew out four Vietnamese generals as if. they were second lieutenants. Their misdemeanor was pulling the Dec. 20 coup d'etat.

It was an act that went against American interests, and for once the American interests were asserted in rountl, rough language which was the old- fashioned American way. Talk about toughness. In Viet Nam we have'got it. At Nha Trang, some 200 miles northeast of Saigon, the U.S. Navy is advising at the training of the Vietnamese Midshipmen Acade my.

Under the French this institution was something of a charm school for privileged natives. Under American toughness, the flunk-out rate is now 19 per cent, about the same as al An- --HOLMES ALEXANDER napolis, and the Oriental siesla, which is almosl universal lierc is disappearing from' (he Vietnamese Navy. J'art of (ho routine for training Vietnamese frogmen is something called ''bell during which forced marches, broken sleep and simulated horrors are used to separate the men from the boys before sending a of them inlo battle. There is no frame of reference for the Viet Nam; war. The American people have not been made In understand flial although we're winning, worst is yet lo come.

There will be heavier casualties. There will be more political crises. There will be greater amounts of aid. The American public should be warned and should brace ilsclf not only for news' hut for the caterwauling of those who yell for "peace" and for the bellowing, of those demand "inslanl" and always have (heir own formula. The lest of the crucible will be whether Americans al home liirn out lo be what Americans al Ihc front have become.

Can life and dealh become meaningful to us? Can we deliberately choose danger because it is the correct tactic for the emergency? Can we learn lo use our national wealth and military power (o accomplish desirable ends? Can we be just as lough as Ihe occasion warrants? If we can answer Ihesc demands as llicy have been presented ami answered in Viet Nam, this will be a great in which to be an American. HIGGIXS "young Turks" EDITOR'S NOTE TltU Is Hit crv wlh Vietnamese Minister Huong since the 'Dec. 20 oeml-cijup in which ttic Young Turks abolished Ihe l9 Nulional Council, of appointive Icglilalure. Miss coble! meslions Soigoii, ond the Prims Muiliftr't reply wos received in Washington. WASHINGTON Vietnamese Trinic Minister Tran Van Huong, in apparent contradiction to 'American icy, has declared in an exclusive interview thai purge of I i a sc High Nalional Council by the generals is a "fail accompli' and does nol "modify whatsoever my capacity (o govern Soulh Viet Nam." has, to the contrary, been the Amciican aigumenl lhat (he dissolution of (he Vietnamese High National Council has weakened the government to (he poinl where Ambassador Max Taylor has judged it necessary to hall consullalions on expanded American aid (or the war effort.

The United Stales would like tti see cither the High Nalional Council, or some substitute, reconstituted hoping a Ihis would leach Ihc Vietnamese mililary thai they could nol gel away with (his son of intervention in a a i of slate and dclcr (hem from future allempts lo manipulate Ihc government. Hut Prime Minister Huong, on whose strength of character America's in Southeast Asia could depend, seemed rather unworriorf about the a i tions of Ihe Vietnamese military, lie was asked, for example, il he feared lhal the urge of the High Council miglil serve as- precedent lhat would encourage (tie Vietnamese military lo interfere continually with Ihe government's activities. The Prime Minister "On Dec. 23, Ihc Vietnamese Armed Forces Council pul oul a solemn dcclaralion giving assurance lhat Ihe mililary people have no longer any inlcnlion ot interfering anew in government affairs. My government takes note ql it and forges ahead as if nothing had happened and as if nothing might huppcn." The high points of Ihc other two main questions anil answers arc given here because Ihey reveal so much-'about Prime- Jlin- isler Huong's own sturdy character and because they illuminate wilh unusual sharpness the inevitable gap between the way Westerners and Asians look at Question: "Dn you approve or disapprove of Ihe purge of Ihe High Nalional Council?" Answer: "Since Ihc purge of Ihe High Nalional Councilis now --MARGUERITE HIGGINS a fait accompli, approval or disapproval of this act is now perfectly useless.

The main thing would lie (o find a solution which would permit the Chief of Stale and the government to cr.nlinue llieir mission with the same firmness and determination as before." Question: "Do yoii feel that the purge of the High National Council weakened your capacity lo govern South Viet a Answer: "You speak as a cit- of a very politically devcl ujicd cmmfry where democratic principles have deep roots in' people. Alt we Vietnamese a sentimental people like all the peoples of Iho Far East. Here the power of a leader rests less on Icgalily or democratic principles than on personal moral piesligo and csleem which he enjoys among his compatriots. therefore 1 don'l think that the purge in question can modify whatsoever my capacity to govern South Viet Nam." Prime Minister Huong's comment lhal in Vicl Nam the power of a leader rests "less on legality than on moral prestige ami csiccm" obviously has all the potentiality of psychological bombshell in the U.S. Em- liassy in Saigon and the State Department in Washington because of our continuing controversy with the Vietnamese military on Hie issue of the High National Council which is of course based on precisely such legaKlics.
