This suspicion may have been heightened by the negligible coverage given to the United States' Fischer gambit in the American press.

1 The state departments motives are obscure. TheFischer affair may have been merely a case of bureaucratic bumbling, or it may have been a amall probe by the C.I.A. designed to test Communist cultural defenses. Whatever the case, no one anticipated a violent Communist response. Compared to Hello Doliyi Fischer is scarcely more than a popgun In the American cultural arsenal.

At most, the Soviets were expected to hit back by throwing a couple of touring American engineers out of Dnieperpetrovsk. In Banning "Hello Dolly!

The reasoned response would be to bed the troupe in sheets full of cracker crumbs, house them in hotel-rooms next to convention parties, and steer them through a program of rigorously planned activity such Dona Day movies, visits to the Senate and afternoon TV game shows.

Crisis, they agree, is retaliation all right, but not against anything that is happening in Asia. In the words of one war-room thinker, "What we are faced with Is the danger of total cultural warfare. In striking against Broadways most successful musical, Moscow Is over-reacting in an escalation out of all proportion to the original American thrust.

The crisis was begun quietly enough last month when Soviet photographic planes flying over Cuba recorded the absence of Bobby Fischer from the Capa-blanca chess tournament. Scanning newspaper cuttings In the ministry of cultural warfare, several commissars reported simultaneously that Fischer, the Cut Exemption of Other Groups Ed tor: For example, his new currency, which would be used only in official transactions between countries, is modeled on the collective currency unit -the crusa devised by Edward Bernstein a U.S. monetary expert, and advocated by the French. And hi plan for transforming the I.M.F. into a central bank with issuing authority follows a plan first advanced by Robert Trif-fin of Yale University.

But Roosa has tried to break new ground in order to get negotiations started. As he pointed out, the crusa (which he defined as standing for "compatibility with the present monetary- system, "responsibility on die part of contributing nations, "universality of the uml, sovereignty remaining with each country and "acceptability) would require countries to pay a price of admission to participate and would obligate them to sell gold on occasion. These conditions, he feels, will encourage discipline and ready acceptance. Roosa also dfers in his stout defense of the present system, which he thinks has created ample liquidity and is capable of doing much more. This too is understandable.

Roosa takes justifiable pride In the arrangements now available because he had s.uch a big hand In constructing them. But his insistence on "orderly change that does not Involve scrapping the present machinery is also based on his belief that radical reform would shake confidence. So he is for building on what Is now In oper- atlon because "confidence Is essential for the survival of any monetary system." The reason he Is for reform is that confidence in the present system Is not all It could be. It I his own view that there would be no need for a new currency unit except for the -''uncertainties' about the future of the present Roosa observed that uncertainty can be removed through agreement and acceptance of a new currency But before this could be achieved, he thought It would be necessary to remove the "uncertain ties" about sterling, which he termed the biggest deterrent to reform. He would aid sterling by multilateral-long-term credits to Britain that would en-, able her to repay her present debts and give her time to reorganize her economy.

Whether European countries would contribute is still jn doubt, but Roosa said that the sterling problem must be resolved be- tore international reform can be tackled. Despite his stress on conserving "monetary discipline, "national and other features of the, present system and his recommendation of essential moderate reform, Roosas plan would mean big changes. Most important, It would mean that the U.S while still, having ft major influence in determining intemattona! monetary arrangement, would have to share its responsibilities and its privileges with other industrial countries. To get 'agreement Roosa Is prepared to meet Europe halfway. The Johnson Ad-' ministration may have to make a similar accomodation to win European agreement to negotiate.

() Mr Yuli Tim Nw WnrlM NEW YORK A new and important plan for' reforming the international monetary system was pubLcly unveiled Tuesday. It is the Roosa Plan, named after Robert V. Roosa, former United' States under secretary of the treasury for monetary affairs and one of the chief architects of the existing monetary mechanism. In its broad outlmes Roosa blueprint appears a moderate version of other more radical plans. While he sees no immediate danger of a shortage in funds available for world trade- and Investment, he calls for a new international currency to supplement the dollar and gold in order to assure future expansion.

He also recommends new tong-term credits to assist individual countries suffering from balance of payments deficits. Its very moderation is one factor contributing to the plan's Importance. The other is Roosa's close ties with the Johnson Administration. Although he is now a partner in Brown Brothers Harriman and Company, he has been appointed a member of the president's advisory committee studying reform before international negotiations begin. The betting in informed circles Is that the committee will put its sea! of approval on the Roosa Plan.

Roosa himself termed his plan a "personal effort that did not have the administrations backing. In New York Tuesday, he said he hoped 'that it 'would be useful in negotiations but that he did not expect Washington to put its weight behind any precise formula. But the plan, which is published in the form of a book entitled "Monetary Reform for the World Economy, has been circulating in Europe in advance of its distribution here. And it has obviously been signed to attract foreign as well as U.S. support.

The compromise nature of Roosas is understandable. As a monetary theoretician who ha seen service on the actual firing line, he puts more emphasis on what is likely to be most acceptable than on what may be most desirable. Thus he rules out either a return fo the old gold standard or a decisive break with gold. His plan would maintain the present $35 an ounce gold price and preserve the key role of the dollar in international trade. The new currency unit he envision would be tied to gold, which Is what France wants, but It would require countries to buy as well as sell gold, which would relieve the strain on the U.S.

gold stock. And though the units would be Issued by the international monetary fund, which is the forum favored by Washington, London and the developing countries, initiation and effective control over the would rest with the countries whose currencies are used in the "fund unit, which Is a condition insisted on by the Europeans, Roosa admitted that he had tried to reconcile opposing views and that he borrowed freely in order to do so. One important quaLfication needs to be nude to your editorial comment (Aug. that If the Rev. Hargis Christian Crusade kes its tax exempt atatu that will be no more than fair.

It will be no more than fair provided the administration moves to remove tax exempt status from all other "educational," rei'gious and labor groups presently engaging In politics while enjoying such status. For an appra.ial of these activities I refer you to an article African che champion, had "Politics In the Pulpit in Time magazine for Oct. 9, 1964, Page (fenied American passport 83, This does not deal with the churchs involvement In civil rights, which might be considered a moral rather than a poetical Lsiue, despite political consequences.

The fact that these tax-exempt labor and church groups may be propagandizing a political philosophy congen'al to ones own viewpoint does not seem 0 me to const'tute a fair and valid reason for trying to silence an opposing philosophy, no matter how "ultra, by removing its tax exemption.

The railroad station in Saigon is open for business, but there is one problem: No business. It Is a station with a stationmaster-and a staff and troops to guard them but no trains.

Six of the biggest French rubber plantation have recently been knocked out of action, not by the Viet Cong but by Americans bombing the, Viet Cong on the premises. The Americans landed 10,000 tons of rice from California here this week to help make up the deficit of a country that usually exports rice, and rice costs three times as much In Pieiku a it does in Saigon. The Piastre Is in bad shape too. The South Vletnameie government has a money supply now of 32 billion piastre and It will have a deficit this year Of between 15 billion and 20 billion piastre, Meanwhile the price index ha gone up 40 per cent in the last three yeari and the cash budget ha increased in this same peri ruption and war. The South Vietnamese have over a half million men in the armed forces.

The U.S. has brought in so far about 100,000, The Viet Cong are blowing up the economy with dynamite and the Americans are patching It up and inflating it in the process, with goods aid dollars. Probably the rate of Viet Cong destruction is faster than the fate of American restorations, since destruction is easier and quicker. But between them they are creating a new pauper class, and an even wealthier merchant class, and producing a swollen economy Viet Nam has never known before and lst not likely to be able to maintain In the future. The main battleground at the moment is transportation.

There is no dependable nortH-aouth road and rail system In this country, from Saigon north to the 17th parallel. This i a distance by surface transportation of 700 miles. The Viet Cong blow it up and mine it faster than the allies can repair it. The east-west road iytem Pieiku, and Highway 21, from Nhatrang to Banmethout, open for limited traffic, but meanwhile the U.S. and the South Vietnamese are in the process of creating a whole system of transportation by sea and air to supply this entire area north of the capital.

He worked for a time with the council of economic advisers In Washington, then went to Laos with the U.S. economic mission there and is now deputy director of the U.S, operations mission to Viet Nam.
