BUREAU OF ADVERTISING Lebanon lIcNtatht Syndkete lnfc Fulton Lewis Jr, Page 4 Halloween Communists much as Hitlers Mein Kampf served the German Nazis. Protracted war depends on a privileged sanctuary, such as Mao Tse-tung managed to maintain for himself in Chinese Yenan after Chiang Kai-s had chased him out of coastal China. Nobody has yet managed to win a war against Asiatic Reds as long as they have had privileged sanctuaries from which to send forth their mosquitos. They worked the privileged sanctuary racket in the Korean war; they are now working it in Laos and in Vietnam. The British, who finally broke the power of Red Chinese guerrillas in a protracted war in Malaysia that lasted for seven years, were lucky in that Malaysia was sealed off from overland contact with Mao Tse-tungs privileged sanctuaries in the North.

Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Laos and South Vietnam were just too much of a barrier for Mao to cross with his infiltration experts. But the handwriting is now on the wall for Malaysia, for Cambodia and Laos have slipped into neutrality, and South Vietnam is obviously crumbling. Thailand is pro-Western now, but how long can that last if the U.S. loses in South Vietnam? The only way a protracted war of the Red Chinese variety could be beaten on its own terms would be to find some way of turning psychological warfare against privileged sanctuary areas, and this the Western mind seems incapable at the moment of doing. However, the United States once had a man in Asia who had soma success in beating Red guerrillas and psychological subverters at their own game.

This man. Brigadier General Edward (Continued on Pax Twelve) Armies Still Needed Naval encounters to the contrary, the success or failure of United States efforts in South Viet Nam ultimately must depend upon land engagements. A look at the map of the peninsula merely confirms that the U.S. has much territory to regain and little more to lose. The dramatic destruction of North Viet Nams FT boats, harbors and fuel oil depots will have little effect on the guerilla warfare the Communist North is waging in the South.

The hit-and-run forays into outlying villages, the teams of saboteurs sent into Saigon and other cities, and even the battalions of Vietcong which have been making frequent invasions of free territory, will not be appreciably affected by the destruction of North Viet Nams navy. Because of the very nature of guerilla warfare, supply lines to the North are both informal and mobile. The Vietcong guerillas do not require huge quantities of supplies. The Vietcong is, in fact, an army which can subsist on a handful of rice a day. Time, rather than men, munitions or materiel, has become the prime weapon of the Viet Nam war.

The U.S. needs time for its beefed-up forces to have any effect on the South Vietnamese army. Premier Khanh needs time to put into effect reforms deemed necessary to unite his faction-ridden government. Yet, time is what the South Vietnamese forces lack in their battle for survival. Outlying villagers, many ignorant of the struggle taking place in their homeland, are easily persuaded to join Vietcong guerillas, offered the prospect at least of a steady diet.

A meaningful land victory is needed to complete the turning of the psychological in favor of the West. LBJ Regime Tries To Kill Bid To Rap Russia Anti-Semitism YV7HEN the United States con- nived in 1962 to feed the Dutch colony of West New Guinea to Indonesia's Sukarno in hopes that this would finally satisfy the most land-hunt'ry politician since Adolf Hitler. Senator Tom Dodd, who has a sixth sense in these matters, warned his legislative sikarno colleagues that such appeasement would be just about as effective as handing a cubic inch of red meat to a ravening animal. The Senator has since been proved right, as he reminded people the other day in the course of introducing a resolution, signed by twenty Senatorial co-sponsors, urging that it be regarded as the sense of the Senate that the UN, through its General Assembly, should do something of a positive nature to keep Sukarno from gobbling up the new East Indian state of Malaysia. The Dodd resolution is all to the good, but no action by the UN is likely to be enough to come between Sukarno and his insatiable ambitions.

For the fate of Malaysia depends' on what is now happening in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and all Sukarno really has to do is to bide his time. Dodd realizes this as well as anybody, for he is one of a handful of Senators, Democrat and Republican, who know something about Mao Tse-tungs theory of protracted war, or political mosquito war. Protracted war is a method of wearing the enemy down by a combination of guerrilla fighting and psychological war. Mao Tse-tung wrote a book about it back in the thirties, and this document has served Asiatic Politics nPHE following is reprinted from the Indianapolis News, without apologies to Sen. Humphrey: Following is part of the text of a speech prepared for Democratic vice presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey by a ghost-writer in Indianapolis, but which Sen.

Humphrey for sortie reason did not deliver: This Democratic administration presided over the Bay of Figs fiasco, pulling back crucial air cover and allowing Cuban freedom fighters to be slaughtered by Fidel Castro. But not Sen. Goldwater! This Democratic administration has cracked down still further on exile forces trying to combat Castro and allowed allied trade with the Cuban dictator to increase by hundreds of millions of dollars. But not Sen. Goldwater! This Democratic administration by its own confession lied to the American people about the Cuban missile build-up in the summer and fall of 1962, bringing grave danger to our nation.

But not Sen. Goldwater! This Democratic administration has presided over the disarray and collapse of the NATO alliance. But not Sen. Goldwater! This administration stood by idly while the East German Communists built the Berlin wall in violation of the post-war treaties and imprisoned free men and murdered those who attempted to escape. But not Sen.

Goldwater!

This should ring a bell in the Disgusted Subscribers cranium. Did the Disgusted Subscriber read the Goldwater Democrats letter in the Forum? Many of the major issues were set forth in that letter. I want to mention one of those issues.

Were Nikitas missiles actually removed from Cuba? If Disgusted Subscriber thinks they were, hes mighty gullible. I say as Barry Goldwater said: Let us exchange that wishbone for a backbone.

Pa. Labor Reutlier Gives Republicans Prime Target By Victor Rlesel TI7ASHINGT0N Few have sur-passed Walter Reuther in making a science of politics. Yet, to the amazement of all except a few insiders, he called a sprawling strike which hit General Motors in a swath of states just as President Johnson began opening up his real re-election campaign. By unleashing the strike, regardless of its duration, the red-haired auto union leader provided the Republicans with a prime target for this political season. Reuther obviously does not want to embarrass the President, behind whom all labor is united.

Why then was General Motors struck? The answer is in the rank-and-file GM unionists. They are growl-ingly impatient. They want immediate delivery of the instant utopia their militant regional leaders promise them. They have a slot machine psychology. They put in their dues and expect the jackpot after each negotiation.

In recent GM plant elections these rank-and-filers have ousted at least a third of their local officers. Now they want more than eloquence from Reuther and more than the pie-in-the-sky promises, as they put it, from their Solidarity House in Detroit. The complexities of what they want are not understood by the public. They struck, for example, for a voice in the setting of production standards. Roughly translated, this means they want the right to participate in decisions on how much they will produce, how fast the assembly line will go and how swiftly their grievances will be settled if they disagree with the company management.

Their demand, in effect, is for a voice in management. There can be no other interpretation. They asked, for example, for the right to help make decisions which shall stay fixed. They objected to the company's right to change its production policies after agreements on speed of the line have been reached. Thus the basic issue all along has been who will decide how fast they should work.

But there have been other issues. There was the question of union representation inside the plants. What is this union representation? It is the right of the United Auto Workers (UAW) to have its shop chairmen and committeemen work full time in the plant, policing the terms of the contract, servicing the rank-and-file and handling their grievances. It also means that the company pays these union men while they work for the members. At Ford and Chrysler the union committeemen are paid full time by the corporations, though thDy work only for the union.

At General Motors only a few, such as the shop chairmen, are paid full time by the company while they service the membership. Most GM union reps Note: The State Department obsession with Soviet feelings can be seen in its attitude toward the Captive Nations of eastern Europe. Several score Congressmen, led by Pennsylvania Democrat Dan Flood, have sponsored legislation to set up a special House committee on the Captive Nations. In urging defeat of the Flood proposal. Secretary of State Rusk has argued that creation of such a body would likely be a source of contention and anger the Soviets.

President Elsenhower, in 1959, Issued the first Captive Nations proclamation, which specifically condemned Kremlin tyranny. But Ikes successors have refused to attack Soviet imperialism. They have made mealy-mouthed statements drawn specifically to avoid antagonizing the Communists. This is a President Johnson said earlier this year: It is appropriate and proper to manifest to the people of the Captive Nations the support of the government and people of the United States for their just aspirations. Eisenhower, in contrast, had had this to say: Many nations throughout the world have been made captive by the imperialistic and aggressive policies of Soviet Communism, and the peoples of the Soviet dominated nations have been deprived of their natural independence and their individual liberties.

WASHINGTON The Admini- stration last week suffered a crushing defeat that went unnoticed in the na- tions press. At' issue was a resolution, authored by Connecticut Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, to condemn the Soviet. Union for its persecution of thej Jewish people. The resolution! had been cosponsored by more than 60 Senators representing both political parties.

From Goldwater to Jav its, from Lausche to Gruening, Republicans and Democrats alike had endorsed the measure. The Administration, however, sought to have the resolution killed on the grounds that its passage would antagonize the Soviet Union. Assistant Secretary of State Frederick Dutton, who has since resigned to accept a post at the Democratic National Committee, sent to the Hill a letter urging defeat of the Ribicoff amendment. Passage of a resolution condemning Soviet anti Semitism, Dutton wrote, would be considered by the Kremlin as an act of interference in its internal affairs. Carl Rowan, director of the U.

S. Information Agency, wrote a similar note, insisting that approval of the Ribicoff amendment would have no effect whatsoever on Soviet leaders. The Administration position was forcefully presented by Arkansas J. William Fulbright, Holmes Alexander In County State And Nation withholding promised grants in aid. But not Sen.

Goldwater! This Democratic administration financed and supplied confessed acts of aggression and brutality against the anti-Red African state of Katanga, subjugating it to the anti-Western central government of the Congo. But not Sen. Goldwater! This administration connived In the overthrow of the anticommunist Diem government of South Viet Nam which led to the murder of the ousted President. But not Sen. Goldwater! This Democratic administration has phased out American manned bombers and pulled back interjnediate-range missile bases in order to ease Soviet anxieties.

But not Sen. Goldwater! This administration believes the Communists are mellowing and that they will stop bothering us if only we are nice to them and show them we are willing to make concessions. But not Sen. Goldwater! This Democratic administration has supplied a haven for con men and grafters like Billie Sol Estes and Bobby Baker, the last-named being described by President Lyndon Johnson as my strong right arm. But not Sen.

Goldwater! This Democratic administration in short, has plunged steadfastly toward calamity and chaos in the world struggle w'ith Communism. It has worked unremittingly toward the centralization of power and the destruction of American constitutional checks and balances. But not, needless to say, Sen. Goldwater. Whats Wrong A youngster in school showed every promise, except that he always mixed his past participles.

After saying, I have wrote, the teacher explained to him how wrong it was, and told him to write I have written 100 times. The lines were left on the teachers desk with the note: I have wrote I have written 100 times, like you told me, and now I have went home. chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In patronizing terms, he cautioned Ribicoff that overzealous friends may do more harm (to the Soviet Jews) than do their enemies. He suggested that religious persecution was a world-wide problem, and urged passage of a substitute resolution condemning bigotry but not mentioning the Soviet Union, Communism or the plight of Iron Curtain Jews.

In a biting rebuttal, Ribicoff accused Fulbright of seeking to take the Soviet Union off the hook. I cannot stand on the floor of the Senate and allow the Senator from Arkansas to accomplish this end. Slashing out at State Department experts, Ribicoff said they were consistently ignorant and uninformed on Iron Curtain persecution, The Department, he continued, has a lot to learn about people as human beings and humanity in general. To assertions by Fulbright and the State Department that he was overzealous, Ribicoff was blunt. For the life of me, he said, I cannot understand why, whenever we come up against a problem on which we seek to speak our conscience, the State Department seeks to throw cold water on the efforts of the American people to speak with emotion.

The Senate agreed. It accepted. by a vote of 60-1, the Ribicoff resolution. Fulbright was the only dissenter. turn power from Washington to the States, the communities and the people.

The relinquishment of power by the central government, he said, would be the very restoration of freedom, which in itself is not a material thing but a spiritual blessing that comes to every American at his birth. This is not the kind of idea-mongering that usually excites political multitudes. They are conditioned to hearing about freedom from the normal vicissitudes of life like poverty and expensive sickbeds. But Goldwater makes the idea sing and he makes the crowds shout. If he fools the pollsters and the pundits by winning this election.

it will be because hes reversing the old adage which says that the way to mens hearts is through their stomachs. Goldwater finds his way to the heartstrings via the brain cells. He makes people think, a stupendous feat for a campaigner. He clothes airy nothings like power and freedom with the glowing raiment of reason. Two hours before Goldwater arrived, there had been another meeting in town where a plan was launched to form an association of 10 electric utility companies from 9 nearby states.

The group named itself WEST (Western Energy Supply and Transmission) and announced its plan to amass a generating capacity entirely investor owned that in 20 years will be 3 times the size of TVA and 17 times the size of the High Aswan Dam in Egypt. Barry Campaigns On Platform Of Freedom War For Safety The country is not winning the war on traffic fatalities just as it is not winning the war in Southeast Asia, and the frustration is just as galling to those immediately -involved. In a determined effort to stem the death tolls alarming rise, law enforcement officials have resorted to just about every hard-nosed tactic at their disposal. They offer no quarter, no sympathy. They divert time, effort and equipment from other responsibilities.

Still the carnage continues. Why? The question haunts police, as it ought to haunt more other good citizens. Yet no easy answer is forthcoming. Accident prevention is at best an inexact business, and it is perhaps especially so on the highways. Police know there is a correlation between accidents and alcohol, between accidents and speed, between accidents and human or mechanical failure.

But interposing a barrier between cause and effect stopping the drunk before he get3 behind the wheel, for example is at best a difficult job. There i3 reason to question many of the assumptions on which society bases the laws with which it seeks to protect its members on the highways. For example, the assumption is made that the speeding motorist causes accidents but the assumption may be only half-true. A recent federal study suggests that the critical factor is really the differential between a vehicles speed and the speed of the traffic around it. A car doing 40 in a 60-mile zone may represent as much of a hazard as a car doing 80.

Research of this kind can pay off by giving the people who write and enforce laws a clearer idea of what theyre fighting. So can ever-deeper investigation of specific accidents. How many auto fatalities, for example, are homicides? Suicides? As of now, nobody really knows, although some experts believe the proportions are much higher than generally assumed. Another Dimension Many educators have deplored the tendency to look upon college as a degree mill and a gateway to better jobs and salaries, rather than as an opportunity for intellectual development. Now Dr.

Robert F. Goheen, president of Princeton University, goes a step farther in delineating the purpose of a college education in its fullest sense. Dr. Goheen told the incoming freshmen: If any of you has come to Princeton hoping only to accumulate knowledge, I would advise you to begin immediate negotiations with some sort of institution where you can attach yourself to a pipeline of inanimate learning and become full, like a storage tank, sealed by a diploma, and otherwise useless. In his plea that the pursuit of higher learning be a moral quest as well as an intellectual one, Dr.

Goheen cites the need not only for clear thinking but for common standards of decency and citizenship in a nation disrupted by tensions and violence. His words command attention beyond the confines of a college campus. The power will be generated by products that abound in the Southwest oil, coal, natural gas and atomic energy. The mammoth project is paced to meet the population and industrial expansion over the next two decades. It seeks to get its capital and give its service wholly within the realm of free enterprise nothing will come from taxes and nothing will go to anybody except those consumers who pay for it.

Since much has been made lately of the Johnson administrations popularity with Big Business, I asked the utilities magnates at the head table if their venture had been encouraged by the recent tax cut or by the investment credit plan of 1962. None of the magnates would say that these administration measures had been a major incentive, and it soon seemed to this observer that the attitude toward Washington was not so much gratitude as apprehension. Favorable policies in the Treasury are all very well, but hostility in the Department of Interior or in the Federal Power Commission could stop this large and needed venture in its tracks. And so, although at the stadium Goldwater was talking about power and freedom in the abstract, the practical application wasnt very far away. The force exists in Washington to make free enterprise tremble.

And Goldwaters crusade of liberation applies to the daily business of free men as well as to their spirits. A LBLQUERQUE, New Mexico It may be of deep significance that Candidate Barry Goldwater gets his biggest crowd reactions when he speaks of two political abstractions power and freedom. He did so in this section of the Southwest highlands where, by coincidence, there was a big get-together of businessmen dealing with these matters in a more concrete sense electrical power and freedom of enterprise. In the crowd at the airport, a man rushed up to wring the candidates hand and say, More power to you, Barry! At his speech in the university stadium a half-hour later. Gold-water alluded to the incident and quipped: In Washington, youd call that a loyalty oath.

He took off from there to tell his 13,000 listeners, mostly students, that he wasn't seeking power he was seeking to reget paid anywhere from two to six hours a day by the firm and then must go back to their production jobs. But the UAW struck for full time payment of union representatives by GM as well. There have been disputes on disciplining of workers and the handling of many different types of grievances. Of course, there has been the question of working conditions which means more time off the assembly line. In Ford and Chrysler this now comes to 38 minutes a day, a 50 per cent in (CnIJiu4 Fir) rsr Turning Back 20 YEARS AGO September 30, 1944 Hundreds of volunteer workers in the 1944 United War and Welfare Fund campaign of Lebanon County, gathered in the Masonic Hall last night to officially kick off the campaign at a special dinner-meeting.
