POCATELLO, IDAHO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1963 TEN CENTS Raw Milk Ban to Stand, City Commission Rules By (JUANE KENYON Journal Staff Writer Raw milk in the city of Pocatello is out after next April 1, The city commission reaffirmed an earlier decision Thursday night to ban the sale of raw milk within the city. The ordinance, passed last April, will go into effect unchanged next April. The decision ended several weeks of discussion on whether the commission should reconsider its ban. A motion to that effect, urging the commission to allow the sale of raw milk, at least until statewide action is taken against the sale of raw milk, was proposed by Commissioner Fred A.

Burton, and seconded by Commissioner George V. Hansen. The other five commissioners voted against the reconsideration motion, and the new ordinance remained unchanged. The commission discussed the i for 45 minutes at Thursday's meeting, then recessed to discuss the matter in a short Informal session. When the commission re-convened, Burton made his unsuccessful motion.

Cites Rights Both Burton and Hansen contended thai il wasn't right for the'City to tell citizens they couldn't do what they wanted (purchase raw milk) and that outlawing the sale of raw milk in the city would not end the problem, but would force persons to go outside the city to get raw When Burton said "Until Idaho adopts a law to prohibit the sale of raw milk, I favor sitting on both pasteurized and Grade A raw milk," many members of the audience of about 40 persons cheered. Hansen said he would like to see health standards higher, "but I don't see any reason tc deprive people of free initiative.

Despite administration wishes for a free hand, tlie Senate Thursday nailed these prohibi (ions into the foreign aid authorization bill and approved another amendment to keep the lid nssistanc ID Indonesia. For good measure, the Senate pproved still another ban on id--this to nations whose fisli ng policies "violate fredom of ae seas."

William Proxmire, is ready with an amendment to cut off all aid to Yugoslavia except for some surplus 'ood and for assistance to American schools, hospitals and ibraries.

And Sen. Frank J. Lausche, D-Ohio, said he will offer an amendment to wipe out completely the President's discretion to aid any Communist country under any circumstance. Under present law foreign aid cannot be given Yugoslavia, Poland and other Communisl countries unless the President determines the assistance is vital to the security of the United States, the recipient is not controlled by the Kremlin and that the aid will promote the country's independence.

Rusk Expresses Hope For Secure Viet Nam WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Dean Rusk said today the new government ol South Viet Nam brings hope that the troubled nation can be "free and secure." Rusk told a news conference, on the day following recognition of the new government by the United States and Britain, that this country has special interest of its own in Viet Nam and never has had a selfish concern there.

The American interest from the outset, he said, has been to insure survival of the nation against the threat of Communist, takeover. For the first time in history the secretary of state's meeting with reporters was openad live broadcast. It was carriec live by Mutual Broadcasting and ABC-Radio. The television networks taped it for a viewing. The rule in the past has been that reporters could not quote the secretary directly until he had had a chance to review i transcript of his remarks ant edit them if deemed advisable for policy reasons.

The news conference centered on the Viet Nam situation but ranged widely. In response to a question, Rusk said he did not know what was behind suggestions that the United States seek a political settlement with North Viet Nam. From all he could learn, he said, the North Vietnamese were not prepared to accept any changes in the present political situation as it affected them The secretary said the chief problem that developed with the Diern regime in South Viet Nam was an alienation of the people. He said he felt the new regime would be able to resolve the differences so that the country could move against the Communists with unity. Among other matters arising: I.

BOISE (AP) Disclosure-ot details of Los Angeles' plan to divert water from Idaho brought from Gov. Robert E. Smylie today the assertion that it is "pure unvarnished piracy." "Having failed to make off with Arizona's water," Smylia said, "Los Angeles is now attempting find some other source and there is something in the plan for but the waterusei's of Idaho.

"It would seem much more becoming for Los Angeles to draw water supplies from the water surplus counties in northern California than to attempt to raid its neighbors and customers in adjoining states." Smylie's comment followed disclosure that the Los Angeles plan includes reitnbursement'for existing and prospective hydro- lectric plants in the northwest vhich would lose their water. Ralph Wickberg, president of lie Idaho Public Utilities Commission, said he wondered if this vould include the High Moun- ain Sheep and Nez Perce Dams the Snake River, for which applications are pending before he Federal Power Commission. There also was speculation vhether it would prevent opera- ion of the slack-water navigation system which would extend as far upstream in the Snake River as Lewiston, on the Idaho- Washington border. Questions Good Faith "The explanation of Los Angeles' plan," Smylie said, "indicates more clearly than ever that this is pure unvarnished piracy and raises a substantial question concerning the good faith of its proponents. "Idaho be obliged to fight all the way in every form Dodd Sorry For Outburst to protect this asset.

These are blue chips and we propose to keep them." Wickberg noted that the ssme question is involved in proposals to transfer hydroelectric povyer from (he northwest 'to California. He said that is why It is.so Important that Congress enact the pending preference legislation which would give the Columbia Basin first call on power produced by its streams. "Water could be diverted," Wickberg said, "either by ditcK or by wire." He noted that if the water were diverted in southern Idaho, as proposed in the Los Angeles plan, all use of that water would be lost in the huge downstream hydroeolectric projects, including Bonneville Dam on the Columbia.

NOTE--For many months rumors have circulated in a i of concentration camps in which political opponents of President Ngo Dinh Diem's dictatorship were held-and tortured. Most of the political prisoners have been released since Diem's overthrow and in this dispatch Associated Press staff writer Malcolm Browne reports the stories told by some of them. By MALCOLM W. BROWNE Associated Press Staff Writer SAIGON, Viet Nam (AP) stripped me, tied me over a bench, choked me with water and a towel, and beat me until I was unconscious," the pretty young typist said with an embarrassed smile.

It happened last Friday, she said, only few hours before President Ngo Dlnh Diem's collapsed in a blaze of cannon lire and while his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu's secret police terrorists were still in operation. The typist is Miss Hodng Thi Dong, 29, employed at the British Embassy, and an ardent Buddhist. She was one of the thousands of "political detainees" who felt the fangs of the secret police. Most of the prisoners are free now, and are telling for the firsl time svhat Jhings were like in Nhu's concentalion camps. Scores of students of both sexes say they were forced to drink quarts of soapy water until their intestines were pouring bloodr One young girl, found praying with the jubilant crowd at Saigon's Xa Loi Buddhist pagoda, said electrodes from the generator of a field radio were attached to her breasts.

Many U.S. military advisers and foreign newsmen have, seen variations of this torture applied to Viet Cong suspects in the field. An employe of the U.S. aid mission, Vu Huang Llnh, was Iwld in the Le Van Quyel; camp. "Thors was a tiny cell," JIB said.

"Forty-six prisoners were locked inside, and the cell was under the sun. Many became unconscious." At least one student, Nguyen Van Van, died of torture. His liver was ruptured by truncheons. Students held funeral services for him Friday. Fingers were chopped off some of the prisoners.

Others were blinded. Dong, the typist, is no stranger to terror. She is a refugee from Communist North i Nam. Her maternal grandparents died in a prison there. An aunt and uncle committed suicide in the same prison, and Dong and another aunt fieri while Dong's mother was still in a Red jail.

The terror came to Dong at 5 a.m. Friday with loud knocking on the door of the house sha shares with her aunt. It was the police. "There were five of thorn," she sold, "They searched the house with a flashlight, checked a jeep outside and blindfolded me. There was another girl in the jeep also arrested.

"The jeep stopped after about 10 minutes. There was some talking, and then we rode on for another 10 minutes, We stopped and ihay told us to get out. "We were taken into a room at ground level, stili blindfolded. I peeked, and saw the other girl being led off to anoiiier room. I learned later that she was tortured there.

He said I would be tortured if I would not admit all these things. I refused. "Then two more men came in. They made me sit on the bench and stripped me. They made me lie down, and one tied my feet and hips down.

"They put a cloth over my nose and mouth," Dong continued, her voice shaking. "They poured water from the can over the cloth, and I felt myself drowning.
