PAGE FOURTEEN THE HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, EVENING SENTINEL SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1971 ThieuSaysHe Would Quit OverCoup SAIGON (UPI) --President Nguyen Van Thieu said Thursday night that he would resign "in a minute" if his generals asked him to but predicted the armed forces would never support an attempt to overthrow him. Thieu had dinner with 12 Western newsmen at Independence Palace and spoke in answer to questions for nearly four hours. Asked about threats by Viue President Nguyen Cao Ky that Ky might try a coup, Thieu said, "we cannot disregard what a foolish man would do. But as for the whole army, "If the generals think a coup is a good thing, they can come and see me and they can have it in a minute," Thieu said. Thieu, the only candidate in the Oct.

3 presidential election said if re-elected he will establish a new political party as the best way to find political stability for South Vietnam Thieu said if he did not get more than 50 per cent of the vote "I will withdraw automatically." He was asked how South Vietnamese voters could vote against him when no one else is running. "I cannot say them all because there are 1,001 ways but there are two main ways. You can put a plain envelope in the box or you can mutilate the ticket. They can draw in a mustache on my face or take out my eyes." Turning to the war itself, Thieu said: "We will be ready for the withdrawal of ground forces by next summer. But as for the air we will not be ready for many years." Thieu said South Vietnam will need no more than 50,000 technicians, advisers and artillerymen in addition to another large component of American servicemen as a presence to maintain anti-Communist security.

He said they would not take part in combat but serve in the rear. He said the size of the component of servicemen woulc depend on U.S. policy. Asked about the prospect of the U.S. Congress cutting aid to South Vietnam over the issue of his single candidacy in the Oct 3 election, Thieu said, "I know that the election and the 'one- man race' has created some surprise and misunderstanding and even criticism in the United States but I hope they will understand what has happened in Vietnam.

"We cannot say that the election in Vietnam has no candidate or that, President Thieu has prohibited the candidacy of anyone Thieu said. "We began with four candidates, then three then two and finally one. The others have withdrawn because they thought they could not win."

The Cherub Choir, Choraliers, Republicans Seek Hike In Gas Tax MARRY AT FAIR--Allegan County Fair carnival em- ployes.

LANSING UP1) A transportation blueprint that i would have both immediate and long range consequences in Michigan has been proposed. A 1.3 cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax would finance its provisions. The plan, outlined by a group ot Republican lawmakers at a news conference Friday, mir- ors Gov.

William G. Milliken's recommendations to the legisla- ture in a special message on transportation last March. Under the three-bill package, all state transportation programs would be united in the Highway Department. Included would be public and mass transit planning for Michigan's urban areas'. Public Transportation in Michigan has traditionally taken a back-step to private transportation and super highway development.

To finance a program of freeway building in Northern Michigan and mass transit systems in densely populated Southeastern Michigan, the per-gallon gasoline tax would be raised 1.3 cents to a total 8.3. Rep. i Cawthorne, R-Manistee, who will sponsor the tax bill, called it "an equitable and vital way to continue the integrity of this state's transportation system." Of the 1.3-cent tax hike, cent, or $32 million a year, I would be distributed to the state, counties, cities and villages under a revised formula, it would ensure that all counties receive more money and that the big counties with major traffic problems receive the lion's share of the boost. The remaining .5 cent, geared to bring in $20 million a year, would be used for mass and public transit planning and development in Michigan's urban areas. Passage of the tax plan would mark the first time state gas and tax revenues have been used for public transportation.

A final feature of the transportation plan would create regional airport authorities allowing several counties to band together to operate an airport serving the entire territory.

Highland Park Model Cities Plan Is Probed DETROIT (UPI) The Model Cities program operated by the community of Highland Park is under scrutiny by a federal grand jury investigating organized crime in the Detroit area, it was confirmed Friday. Lawrence Leff, head of the U.S. Justice Department's Detroit strike force on organized crime and racketeering, said records of the Model Cities program have been subpoenaed. He would not elaborate on the purpose of the investigation rather than a regular federal grand jury.

Mayor Robert Blackwell. of Highland Park said he had no idea why the program, designed to revitalize the southwest section of the small suburb completely surrounded by Detroit, is being investigated The program began in 1967. "It is hard to believe that something is amiss in the financial end of the Model Cities program because we just completed an audit in July and we are now making final prepa- tions to begin our third year program," said Blackwell. The program is financed by a $1,724,000 annual grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is coordinated through the city-operated Community Development Department wilh an elected Citizens Advisory Committee acting as citizen participants.
