"If we knock ever so softly, maybe they won't answer!" Foreign scene Fight in Japan over China, DeGaulle visit over hurdle By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreiga New Anarytf New look at China: June 14, 2966 Give em away? wish, return to the United States without fear of loss of citizenship or other punishment, be footloose and free to brag about how they outsmarted Uncle Sam. There just must be some way to discourage these characters from coming back to the country they refuse to defend. Whatever it is, let's take it. Several hundred young Americans using the term loosely are now living in Canada as draft dodgers and loudly and proudly thumbing their nose at their draft boards and their country. The Canadian government, for reasons it considers valid, refuses to extradite these fugitives.

And when they become 31 years old they can, if they Untypical teens cies in the satellite capital are growing not diminishing. Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Muruiiie will visit Prague July 25 and Budapest July 28 to push the French drive for elimination of power blocs. Conflict in Africa: French officials are deeply concerned about the possibility, of a new flareup of fighting between Algeria and Algeria is known to have received planes, tanks and other arms from Iron Curtain countries recently, Algerian officers talk of wiping out the defeat inflicted by the Moroccans in the "little desert war" in 1964. More of same: With Russian elections out of the way, the road now is clear for organization of the new Soviet parliament (Supreme Soviet), and reelection of. President Nikolai Podgorny and Premier Alexi Kosygin.

Kosy gln's upcoming week in Finland marks his first visit to a Western non Communist country since he succeeded Nikita Khrushchev as premier. It gives him his first opportunity for a close up look at a Western oriented nation whose government includes Communist cabinet members. A fight raging inside fapan's ruling Conservative party over relations with Communist China broke into the open last week when Kenzo Matsumura, 83, a senior member of the party, suggested it split in two because the left and right wings were too far apart on the issue. Prime Minister Sato, backed by the party right wing, and the business establishment, wants to continue the present pro American, anti China line because of the importance of U.S. trade to Japan.

But Matsumura's views indicate deep unrest in the party left wing, which sees China as much more important to Japan over the long pull. The likely outcome is a substantial shift in Japan's China policies within a year or so, to avoid an open party split and the political chaos that would follow. Russian lessons: President Charles de Gaulle is reported to be taking Russian lessons in preparation for his Moscow visit June 20 to July 2. He will make two or three major speeches and, as usual, he wants to include a few phrases in the language of the country. The Soviets are said prepared to offer De Gaulle any kind of political treaty he wants.

But French officials say De Gaule will politely reject the offer. He seeks wide swinging political talks during his Moscow visit but will steer clear of signing any political pacts, particularly a revival of the 1944 Franco Soviet alliance, these officials ers that get little publicity and you rarely see on television, "We untypical teenagers are happy we were born in America and not in Havana, Moscow or Peiping. When we hear the "Star Spangled Banner" or look up to Old Glory floating at the top of the pole in the schoolyard, it's not just any ordinary song or bright colored cloth that brings us up tall. It's the history behind that music and that flag that we remember. "We stand erect as we remember: the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, Valley Forge, Gettysburg, the Battle of the Bulge, Pearl Harbor, Korea, Vietnam, the Statue of Liberty, and a Nation whose most historical moments were made in the interest of freedom and justice for all and not with a desire for world conquest.

Sure, we're teenagers but unlike most sensational rat packs in our midst, we're proud to be in the greatest nation on this earth. Whenever others spit Dn our flag or tear down our government we know it's only because they despise the fact that we already have what they really want. "The flag should always remind us that freedom will always be ours if we're half the Americans of those before us who made it all possible. "This is what other teenagers call flagwaving. It's what my group calls patriotism.

We're in the majority and that flag is here to stay!" Although June 14 is Flag Day in name only and not officially set aside in Iowa or 4B other states, it seems an appropriate occasion to reprint an essay written by a teenager for entry in a contest. The essay, by Craig Sager, a freshman at Batavia, 111., high school, was judged first in a contest sponsored by the American Legion, and was reprinted in the Congressional Record. It is titled, "How and Why I Should Show Respect to the American Flag." "They call us "teenagers" and give us more publicity than our soldiers in Vietnam. Mostly, we're pictured as mobs of half washed, unkempt, longhaired youth, who sneer and rebel at parents, teachers, the military, government leaders or anybody or anything that might be construed as old fashioned, cultural or patriotic. We're supposed to prefer security over opportunity, the 'jerk' rather than sports.

Castro more than the President, rock'n'roll over the "Star Spangled Banner," and some of the older members of our set are internationally portrayed burning draft cards, attacking teachers, raising funds for Communists, or showing disrespect for our flag.

The moon is between its last WASHINGTON (NEA) Those who argue Ho Chi Minh would negotiate on Viet Nam if we could just find the right formula should have been at recent Hanoi meetings.

In these sessions, according to reports reaching Washington sources, Premier Pham 'an Dong said bluntly to his fellow officials: "The United Nations has no right whatever to intervene in the Viet Nam problem." "U.S. ruling circles said they might discuss our 4 points as well as 14 or 40 points. This is deceptive talk to confuse right and wrong, white and black Our four point stnnd admits of no bargaining." "The U.S. objects to our third point which affirms that the National Liberation Front is the sole and genuine representative of the people of South Viet Nam and all questions about South Viet Nam must be settled with the Front." "To object to the third point is to 'object to the whole four 'point stand." "If the U.S. government really wants a peaceful settlement it must recognize the four point stand Df the North Vietnamese government and prove this by actual deeds.

"It must end definitely and unconditionally the bombing raids and all other acts of war against North Viet Nam," Pham Van Dong went on to say that the Viet Nam war would be long' and bitter. But he claimed the American people, were beginning to become ashamed of the U.S. role. He said "the American people's struggle. 'Johnson's war' has quickly gained in strength and scope." He said that anti Viet war movement would further develop.

Dong also told his fellow offi cials that there is in the United States "a struggle advancing toward the use of revolutionary violence." He said that struggle was for more rights and that it now 'has good prospects. He thought it would cause the U.S. government serious problems. He said those problems would be multiplied as the cost of the war in men and money increased and more people became disenchanted. These are not the words ol a man ready to talk reason and compromise at a bargaining table.

They are, instead, the words of a man convinced that what happened in France in the 1950s will happen in the United States in the 1960s and that a tired people will force its government to get out, Pham Van Dong's thinking and Ho Chi Minh's are' dominated by their "impossible" victory against France in 1954.

Goldwater's financial bacon was saved, of course by the 651, 000 contributions of less than SI00 which poured into his treasury in response to mail and television appeals. WASHINGON (NEA) Republican leaders may not have to live indefinitely with fears that many badly needed big money boys will defect if the party's right wing is not continuously and warmly cultivated.

That threat has hung over the party since before the prime Goldwater days. Particularly in certain key state races, GOP candidates' views appeared to have been tailored to please or at least avoid offending major conservative campaign contributors.

report on 1S64 campaign financing by Herbert Alexander, director of the privately funded Citizens' Research Foundation in Princeton, N.J. A cornmongplace of Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign, from prenomination time on, had it that GOP fat cats would give big oniy if he were the nominee. This was said to be particularly true in what then was often called "Goldwat er country," areas highly favorable to him, which included California, Texas, Illinois and Ohio. The foundation report shows, however, that on the basis of contributions of $500 or more to national level presidential committees, the big money types chipped in less in California and Illinois than they did four years earlier for Richard M. Nixon.

In California, 1960 contributions of $500 or more came to IBS for $215,737, while for Gold water in 1964 there were 173 contributions aggregating $160, 288. In Illinois, the $500 or morc crowd gave Nixon $255,234 and Goldwater just $243,052, though in 1964 this reporter was told many times that the "big fellows" were calling the turn with their "Goldwater or no muney" routine, Goldwater did indeed get much more money in this category in Texas and Ohio (in this state the ratio was 11 to 1 over Nixon). Bui in the remaining 10 Old South state, many of them hot for Barry, big contributions were down, from 1960 in three and only narrowly higher in two others, In states like Michigan and Minnesota, where large but not dominant Goldwater factions in Well, that's right, it would be.

The summary of accident statistics showed one employe bitten by a dog, one stung by a bee, 17 bitten by patients. Foolishness comes from a friend who enjoys life more than most people.

He offered to take a state employe to lunch, and so they repaired to the sandwich stand in the bottom of the rotunda in the starehouse. Sandwiches devoured, they turned to the matter of dessert. "Have any soft pie?" said the guest to the waitress She said no. "Have any custard?" he inquired. The waitress said she'd see, and returned shortly with a dish.

"You're in luck," she said, "this is all there is." "There, you see?" said my friend the host, "that must be the stand' lat cuatard." The foundation report naturally stresses that no record exists of "presidential" contributions at state and local party levels. But it was the tendency of Gold water contributors, large and small to send their money to national headquarters for fear some of it would otherwise be diverted to moderate candidates they disapproved. Big moderate contributors, for their part, tended to reserve their money for moderate state local nominees, or to give big to President Johnson, whose party gaine da new peak in big donations. In sum, big conservative contributions driven off by party tactics annoying to the right wing may be heavily offset by moderate money. New York contributors in 1960 gave Nixon $500,000 more than Goldwater: got in big grants.

And even when conservatives get a Gold water, they plainly do not set the world on fire with their money.
