For Womens Rights, House Unit OK a Kiss of Death 1 4 THE CAPITAL TIMES, Wednesday, June 23, 1971 1963 U. S. Memo Backed Biem Ouster Celler expects that will happen again. I dont think it will ever see the light of day, ho said. But the women havent given up.

Mrs. Griffiths said a vigorous effort will be made to delete Wiggins provision when the through constitutional amendment is a prime goal of womens rights movements. Amendments similar to Wig-gins have been used over the years to kill equal rights constitutional amendments in the Senate. Once they are adopted, sponsors of the constitutional amendment lose interest. Releases CHICAGO Wi A State Department official recommended in an official memo in August, 1963, that South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem be overthrown if he entered into negotiations with North Vietnam, the Chicago Sun-Times said today.

The memo, dated Aug. 30, and another dated Sept. 16, were written by Roger Hilsman, assistant to Secretary of State Dean Rusk, the newspaper said. Reached by The Associated Press by telephone in New York, where he has taught at Columbia Universitys School of International Affairs for the last few years, Hilsman confirmed he authored the memos quoted in Jhe Sun-Times, but said they were taken out of context. He said the memos were drafted as contingency plans of 11 possible moves for all the crazy things that might happen to the South Vietnamese government.

Furthermore, he noted, the memos were printed in abbrevi ated form in the New York Times Magazine on Jan. 24 this year. What you have here is an ex ample of why I am in favor of publication of all documents. The document is authentic, but it was only a contingency plan, said Hilsman, who said he resigned as assistant state secretary of state for Far East affairs in 1964 after a policy dispute with President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Hilsman denied any advance knowledge of a coup and said a single document has been pulled out of the record and has been misinterpreted. The memos, plus documents from a Pentagon history of the Vietnam war, reveal a battle over Diems fate with the State Department urging his ouster and the Pentagon insisting that the United States stick with him, the Sun-Times said in a copyright story. The newspaper said the Hils-man memos were declassified by President Johnson in 1968 but until now were tightly It said it obtained the memos from the Citizens Commission of Inquiry into U.S. War Crimes in Vietnam. The newspaper did not reveal the source of its inormation on material contained in the Pentagon documents.

But James F. Hoge editor, said part of the material came from the same top-secret Pentagon report that has been published in part by The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe. 1 Rudy Salazar, right, is a 29-year-old father of two who, blind since birth, Is a certified journeyman auto mechanic at a local Ford agency in Antioch, Calif.

BECKLER A I ON i The House Judiciary Committee has approved a proposed constitutional amendment granting equal rights to women, but its a case of thanks for nothing as far as the women are concerned. Before approving the amendment by a vote of 32 to 3, the committee added a provision strongly opposed by womens rights organizations and their supporters. ThP provision, adopted 19 to 16; would exempt women from the draft and permit reasonable state laws based on sex differences to continue in effect. That kills the bill, said Rep.

Martha W. Griffiths, chief sponsor of the amendment who has been fighting for 15 years for its passage. If we cant take it out on the floor, Ill vote against the bill myself. Its just unconscionable, said Carol Burris of the National Womens Party; which launched the fight for an equal rights amendment 50 years ago. Its the kiss of death, said Rep.

Emanuel Cellcr chairman of the judiciary com-m i 1 1 but unlike the two women he was all smiles. Celler, who cast one of the three votes against the amendment, helped put the new language in. When it was first offered by Rep. Charles E. Wiggins the amendment to Mrs.

Griffiths amendment lost on a 17-17 tie vote. A motion to reconsider also failed 17-17, but jCeller kept the parliamentary pot boiling until reinforcements arrived and produced a majority for Wiggins. Fourteen Republicans and five Democrats voted for Wiggins amendment. Voting against it were 15 Democrats and one Republican. Wiggins said his amendment was needed to protect women who are receiving child support and alimony payments, and to keep mothers from being drafted.

It would also permit the enactment of any law that reasonably promotes the health and safety of the people. Many states have such laws, barring women from certain occupations and setting different working conditions for them.

He said President Nixon also emphasized that the decision to offer the documents to the Congress does not represent any change of policy, but merely reflects the special circumstances created by the recent unauthorized disclosures.

Ziegler said Secretary Laird will work out arrangements with the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives for turnover of the documents and the joint leadership of each body shall determine its disposition in Congress. House Speaker Carl Albert said the report would probably be referred to the House Armed Services Committee, which received a variety of top secret defense information and keeps it secret. Armed Services Chairman F. Edward Hebert (D-La.) said he will take appropriate action. House Republican Leader Gerald R.

Ford, of Michigan, said he had strongly urged the President to release the study to Congress. The third-ranking House Republican Leader, Rep. John B. Anderson, (R-Ill.) said he certainly, obviously applauds the action. I dont believe in secrets between the Congress and the Executive particularly on a matter as important as nam, Anderson said.

Dennis J. Doolin, deputy assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, testified in U.S. district court legislator called upon to make Monday that a review of the top judgmments and decisions re available to his foreign relations committee. Testifying in a court hearing over Washington Post publication of portions of the documents, Doolin said Fulbrights request was turned down after initial study showed the material was too sensitive. Doolin said he recommended against release of the papers to the Senate even on a classified basis.

However, he said renewed his request and the review of the classification was continuing. The report on Nixons plans came as two congressmen filed suit in federal court against Laird for release of the papers. Reps. Ogden Reid and John Moss (D-Calif.) based their suit on the Freedom of Information Act, which they sponsored, saying this law requires the vovernment to justify why any ocuments are withheld from the public eye. So far, said Benny Kass, the congressmens attorney, Washington Post and the New York Times are technically bearing the burden to justify in court their use of excerpts from the Vietnam war analysis.

The burden under the act is on the Pentagon to make that justification in court document by document, the whole series or parts of it, said Kass who added that he would be satisfied if only certain parts of the volumes were released as a result of the court action. Attached to the brief were let-Viet- ters from Moss and Reid dated June 18 and June 21 respectively requesting release of the volumes from Laird.

We entered, walked up the hallway, removed our shoes and we proceeded up the stairway, which is circular. At the top of the stairway, there is a bedroom I thought this was the bedroom of the daughter, but it was empty.

There is a short hallway to the right that we walked down and at the end of the hallway are two doors. The door on the left was open and led into Mr. and Mrs. Yablonskis bedroom. The door on the right was closed and led into the daughters bedroom.

Then Vealeys rambling, 15-page statement was read into the record by FBI Agent Joseph Masterson of Cleveland, where Vealey and the four other defendants in the case were arrested last year several weeks after the slayings. Vealey said he first was approached about killing someone at the time he didnt know it would be Yablonski in the summer of 1969, five months before the election that saw Boyle defeat Yablonski for the presidency of the UMW. Vealey, a 27-year-old laborer, identified the two men who he said took part in the killings as Aubran W. Buddy Martin, 22, also a laborer; and Paul Gilly, 37, a house painter. All three are from the Cleveland area.

Vealey said Gilly was the go-between in the slayings, making all the arrangements with the man Tony. Vealey quoted Gilly as saying Tony was willing to pay $4,200 to have this person (Yablonski) killed. Kenneth and Joseph Yablonski, the union officials sons, sat in the courtroom as the statement was being read. Joseph listened intently, seldom even moving, while Kenneth nervously shifted and nibbled at his fingernails. Nearly two dozen federal, state and local officers were scattered throughout the courtroom, and more lined the streets outside.

In the statement, eValey said he and Martin were picked up by Billy shortly after noon in Cleveland the day of the killings, and that they drove to Clarksville, where the Yablon-skis stately flagstone home stood off a lonely road nearly hidden by trees. The tiny community is in the heart of western Pennsylvanias rich soft coal country about 25 miles southeast of here. For a time, Vealey said, the three sat in their car on a hill behind the house and drank beer and whiskey. Paul came up with all kinds of ideas on how to get in the house and shoot Yablonski, the statement He- said it would be best to go ahead and kill Yablonski and anyone else in the house and get it over with. Buddy Martin agreed to this and so did so we could get it over with.

Their beer bottles and cans, tossed from the car, later were found by police. The documents combined, the Sun-Times said, show that Hilsman wrote the Aug, 30 memo when U.S. officials believed a military coup-or action by Diem against the military was imminent. All the douements show, the paper said, that from the end of August until early October, the United States struggled to decide how to keep Diem as president but get rid of Nhu. The Sun-Times said that at a National Security Council meeting Sept.

17, 1963, it was decided to send Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor on factfinding mission to Vietnam. They reported back Oct.

2, the paper said, and from that point the documents indicate there was a growing consensus at the top of the administration that it would not be possible to get rid of Nhu without also getting rid of Diem. Diem was ousted and both he and his brother died in a coup that took place in November 1963. The Sun-Times said the documents indicate Jhat a decision also was made at the NSC meeting to identify and begin cultivating alternative leadership believed to mean the generals who were thought to oppose Diem and Nhu. That decision was reached, the Sun-Times said, after two alternatives were debated at the Sept. 17 NSC meeting.

The two alternatives were escalatory pressure against and reconciliation, with Diem. The alternatives were proposed mans second' memo, which used the terms reconciliation track and pressures and per-suausion track, the paper said.

Once the government classifies a document secret, he argued, the courts should bar any newspaper from publishing it unless the newspaper proves the classification is arbitrary and unsupportable. The packed courtroom was cleared of newsmen and spectators when the court decided to hear the governments contention that present and future military plans were involved in the Pentagon study.

agreed to on July 27, 1953. Although the Truman admin-ist a i released the documents Nixon demanded, it like current administration, expressed fear of danger to the national security. The Pentagon and congressional Democrats opposed public airing of a Senate hearing on MacArthur firing. Only senators were allowed in. Mac-Arthurs testimony was released the press, but only after it censored for military secrets.

Today's defenders of newspapers publishing the Pentagon papers have argued in court the Vietnam documents are historical in nature, being at least four old. Nixon administration lawyers have said the documents still have bearing on the conduct. 1951 MacArthur offered the reverse argument, declaring the six-month old Truman docu had just about as much bearing on the problem of today as a report on the military operations on Bunker Reform WOrk rues harsh and insulting, mid-July.

On May 3 the Truman administration released the collection of documents, entitled Substance of Statements Made at Wake Island, to the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees, which then made most of them public. The released documents backed up the Times story, quoting MacArlhur as saying at the conference there was very little chance of Chinese intervention. i A report by the Joint Chiefs of Staff said MacArthur assured the conference, we are no longer fearful of their intervention. The five-star general also was quoted as saying: I believe that formal resistance will end throughout North and South Korea by Thanksgiving.
