basis of the Paris peace agreement, the allied side will take appropriate and very strong action." Thieu said South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos "must heighten vigilance and be energetic in Ihe problem of security defense." "Therefore," he continued, "all the three nations must have a requirement for political consolidation, economic consolidation, and military consolidation in order to guarantee the peace that has been attained." Thieu said that he and Nixon agreed that the "Nixon doctrine" of self-sufficiency will be applied as a basis for the reconstruction of South Vietnam in peace. "He disclosed that representatives of international monetary and development agencies with whom. he met in Washington have agreed to come to Vietnam immediately to review the situation and lay the groundwork for an international conference that will be convened within 30 to 45 days to discuss plans for postwar development. He also pledged a new national structure designed to make the nation economically strong "in the shortest possible time frame." The reorganization of government down to the hamlet level, he said, will enable the government to serve "the people of all strata, especially those in the rural areas." Thieu said the United States "has promised that from now until the end of 1973, it will provide large and appropriate aid." Looking ahead to 1974, Thieu said that Nixon promised to ask Congress to approve a "sufficient amount" of aid to guarantee economic stabilization and reconstruction. Italy, Britain and West the three European nations he visited, "are ready to participate in an international plan to help us develop," Thieu said.

He said South Korea and Taiwan, the two Asian countries he visited, pledged technical and other assistance. Thieu gave no estimate of expected aid from the United States. Nixon has asked Congress to vote $1.9 billion in military aid for South Vietnam for fiscal 1974. U.S. economic aid to Saigon has been running about $500 million a year.

Thieu's arrival was, carefully i orchestrated. An air force ma- came. because- was ordered to do so and estimated that half the crowd would have stayed home if they had a choice.

As Thieu spoke, about half the crowd began leaving and heading for the mass of buses parked on the fringes of Tan Son Nhut air base.

Behind Thieu were two banners saying, "The president has successfully fulfilled his missions entrusted by the people" and "Welcome the era of cooperation and building in peace of the free world."

Gov. Victor Julio Roman of Guanacaste Province said the damaging jolt came at 3:55 a.m. The National Earthquake Center' in Boulder, reported the quake registered 6.7 on the Richter sclae, compared to 6.2 for the quake that struck Managua in neighboring Nicaragua last December. About 10,000 persons died in the Managua quake. Roman said towns around the volcano were being evacuated in case it erupts.

There are six volcanos near the Guanacaste range, some of them apparently extinct. Arenal's last major eruption was in 1968. Romatt said streets in Tilaran were cracked and the city was withoul water and electricity because of the quake. The cathedral suffered substantial damage and its spire was about to collapse, he said. The ham radio reports were received here from Los Angeles de Tilaran and Ihe city of Tilaran.

The July 1968, eruption of Arenal left 87 dead and caused extensive damage to agriculture and Ihe area's cattle industry.

Vincente also was to determine what.aid was needed for victims in the quake zone. Red Cross ambulances brought food, clothing, tent, medicines and plasma, from the capital to Tilaran, about 140 miles away by road.

CULLEN Associated Press Writer RALEIGH (AP). For 53- year-old Golden Frinks, the Indian protest marches in Raleigh this past week were but another mile in a long and frustrating road he has been walking since 1960 The road has taken Frinks from his- home in Edenton through scores of towns and jails throughout eastern North Carolina--Hertford, Wilson, Williamston, Ayden, Wilmington, Swan Quarter, Raleigh, and many others. He has slept in churches, gymnasiums, other people's homes, and often in jails. And along the way, he has left vivid impressions in the minds of those who have had to deal with him. "Since he's out of Chowan County now, I'd rather not say anything that might make him want to come back," says Sher- iff Troy Topping of Edenton.

"He's the best friend Lhave. He's been successful in calling public attention to the problems of people that no one else in North Carolina cared about," says Jerry Paul, a Durham civil rights attorney. "He's a liar, and he's unimaginative. I like him personally, but he's outdated in his thinking and his methods: The inarches that brought down segregation are not going to solve the subtler problems that blacks have today," says a veteran who, like many of Frinks' critics, would prefer not being quoted. There are as many portraits of this stocky, bespectacled man as there are people who know him.

--There is Golden Frinks the credibility gap. On May 13, 1969, for example, Frinks told reporters that the marchers he had led into Raleigh were going to stay all summer or until their poor peoples' demands were met. On May 15, Frinks left town, saying he was $9,000 in debt. "Back in the 1960s, civil rights was big news, and Golden got into the habit of calling the wire services anytime he had a brainstorm. Most of what he said didn't turn out to be true, and I think he's pretty well discredited now," said the newsman.

Frinks- himself agrees that there is a credibility problem. "I might say we're going to have a march with 15,000 people because there may be that many people or, there should be, so I go ahead and say there will. I can't afford any public relations man you know. I'm the whole Frinks, according to Paul, is paid $50 per week by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and depends for the rest of his living on what his wife earns as a teacher in Edenton and what he himself makes as a laborer when things are tight. He has no car, he says, and only a few clothes.

"I've seen him take ail the money he had out of his pocket and buy shoes for kids," Paul added. But there are those who suspect Frinks has lined his pockets with money donated to him. One such is Early Bryant of Story from front ended the confrontation. Implementation of the peace pact has been delayed by a dispute over when the occupation force will lay down its arms.

According to the newspapers, there were two bids offered and were declined o'rt ilie' recommendation of Mr.

Lee; however, there were 3.7 acres of land sold and approved, when only one bid was offered. Gerald Hill, executive director of (he Redevelopment says, "The Redevelopment Commission in its public bids, as advertised in The Robesonian, 'reserves the right to refuse any and all The Redevelopment Commission in formal public meeting, as allowed by the General Statutes of the State of North Carolina, exercised that right and, acting in what it felt was the best interest of the Redevelopment Commission, declined the sale of the trailers because it felt that. the bids received were too low. The same are now being readvertised. "In other action, the 3.7 acres of land referred to in your question was advertised pursuant to the same General Statutes as above.

The Redevelopment Commission, in formal meeting, did not approve the sale of the land to the New Day Development Corporation. A resolution of intent-to sell was passed provided that the corporation meets the requirements of the Redevelopment Commission. It was felt by the Redevelopment Commission that il was in the best interest of said Commission to act in this manner." Where does the Lumber River begin and end? How long is it? G.F.

"He's not an accountant. Frinks is, however, a leader of marches. His style some call it agitating -7 is drawn from the text written in the late 1950s and early 1960s by the late Dr. Martin Luther King. Is it effective in the 1970s? "Marches have to dramatize things, they have to stop business as usual, they have to go to the brink of civil disobedience," Frinks says.

But he adds, "I don't change my style because I'm old." Frinks" boss, Joe Hammond of the Atlanta office of SCLC, says the organization is equally adept at less strident forms of political action voter registration and education. He says those programs are going on now in Robeson County, trying to fuse a coalition of blacks and Indians. But Hammond, asked who was in charge of those quiet projects, did not know. The people who march with Frinks, as he grows older, are growing younger. Most are students, either in high school or college.

Frinks does not think this is an indication that older blacks have become disenchanted with his leadership. "I've always drawn on kids who are 15 or younger," he maintains. But Paul has different ideas. "The progress that blacks Job Openings Every Sunday the Lumberton office, Employment Security Commission, lists jobs available, but the lists are not always the same.

And, Paul adds, the rise of black nationalist groups, advocating violence are "just rhe-" loric to keep the young kids in line." Frinks is accustomed to the King-type movement, and perhaps he has no other choice, Paul said. "Poor people don't have television stations to get their ideas They can only march." So Frinks marches on. He has been arrested too many times for him to remember.

He has been spat upon, jailed, and yet, he says he felt hurt when Gov. Jim Holshouser did not invite him to his inauguration after Frinks, a registered Republican, worked for Holshouser's election during the campaign of 1972.

Chief Howard Brooks of the Tuscarora Tribe learned what this meant in Raleigh last week when he called a news conference.

Brooks had vowed Friday Uiat he would not meet with the State Indian Affairs Commission unless his black allies could join in. Chief Brooks and some of his followers inarched to the state capitol last week where they have staged numerous protest marches this week.

"We will go to the door, and if we are refused, there will be no meeting," Chief Brooks said. Brooks also had indicated that Haliwa Indian Chief W. R.
