pJL, Sit ML 5 pjk Of "MM HOT Of A US Dollar Dips Again In Europe BRUSSELS (UPI) The U.S. dollar dipped again today on all European money markets. Bankers in Paris blamed the "debacle in South Vietnam" on the dollar's decline since Easter. "The debacle in South Vietnam and uncertainties over U.S. foreign policies seem to be weighing down on the dollar," said a banking official in Paris.

A banking official in Brussels, however, said today's drop in the dollar's value reflected a normal market fluctuation in mid-week trading. The dollar opened in Frankfurt at 2.3330 German marks, down from Tuesday's 2.3495. Bankers in Zurich marked the dollar down from 2.5185 Swiss francs to 2.5156. The dollar slipped in Brussels from 35.34 Belgian francs to 35.26. In Amsterdam, the dollar fell from 2.3875 Dutch guilders to 2.3840, and in London the price of a pound rose from $2.40875 to $2.4105.

In Paris the U.S. currency declined from Tuesday's 4.2025 French francs to 4.1900. Tokyo was the only center in which the dollar held steady, opening lower at 290.90 yen but closing at 291.10. Mrs. S.

Eshleman Critical Of Ford fttm AM) Predict Ford Will Ask Massive Aid For S. Viet WASHINGTON (UPI) The State Department's highest ranking expert on East Asia predicts President Ford will ask Congress for massive military and economic aid to South Vietnam if he becomes convinced the Saigon government can hold off the present attacks. Congress has so far shown no inclination to provide the (300 mi ion for South Vietnam which Ford seeks. Assistant Secretary of State Philip C. Habib said Tuesday he was expressing his personal opinion, that no official decision will be made until after Gen.

Frederick C. Weyand and other U.S. officials return from missions to assess the situation. "The test for us is: are we prepared to give them the resources the South Vietnamese will need to defend themselves," Habib said. He predicted that if Ford is convinced Saigon can In Loving Memory of Ray C.

Sadly misled by Wife, Childrtn and Grandson "stabilize the military situation," the President would ask for considerably more than $300 million already requested so far refused. Habib said there would probably also be requests for economic aid for relocating refugees. Aid for the refugees seems to be the only proposal which has so far drawn support among the Democratic majority in the Senate. Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy, has introduced a bill to provide $100 million in emergency aid for refugees. Sen. Adlai Stevenson, D-I1L, said Tuesday in Peoria that Americans should no longer support the regime of President Nguyen Van Thieu. "We should signal un- mistakenry our intention to terminate our support for a corrupt and autocratic government," he said.

Sen. Dick Clark, D-Iowa, said, "We have to face up to the question of whether there is any chance for that government aid that army to survive. If one assumes there is no chance then we're not doing the South Vietnamese people any favor by sending more bullets."

Last night, Ehrgood and Rowe spoke about what each feels to be his strongest point. Interestingly, each candidate seems to feel that the other lacks this attribute. Ehrgood spoke about his lengthy trial experience, suggesting that his opponent was not as well qualified in this respect. Running through a typical work week for a judge, Ehrgood asserted, "Of all the qualifications, such as fairness, experience is the most important." Cites Temperament Not surprisingly, Rowe feels a little differently. He told the audience last night that while experience is important, something else just as necessary to the job is the proper temperament.

City councilman George Heverling, unendorsed candidate for mayor, said he would take as much time as necessary for the job if elected. Mayor Swanger is still pushing the "mayor is a full- time job" philosophy. Still tilting at windmills with former councilman James Reilly 's face on them, the mayor recalled debating this question of a full-time mayor at a Young Republican meeting one time and that Reflly didn't agree. What Reilly was doing at a YR meeting the mayor didn't explain. "Under the Third Class City Code, the mayor is the chief executive officer of the city and this takes a full- time man," Swanger said.

"But some people follow the rules and referring to Reilly. Eshleman, as expected for the benefit of his feDow Republicans, laid the present recession at the Democrats' door. He said the Congress has been controlled by the Democrats for the past 22 years and that this Congress is the wildest-spending one yet. The most interesting things were said by Eshleman in an interview after the meeting. Eshleman accused President Gerald Ford of lacking guts in signing the tax cut bill.

"Ford didn't have the intestinal fortitude to veto that bill, which he should have done," Eshleman said. "I voted against it and do you know that I haven't received one letter or phone caH from anyone in the district faulting me? The people of this district realize that we are going to pay for those rebates in nine to 12 months." Faults Congress On the Vietnam debacle, Eshleman faults last year's Congress for not approving aid to South Vietnam. But he does not think any aid sent now would do any good. "Anything we would vote now would not reach Vietnam until May or June and it would probably fall into the hands of the Communists." "I voted for aid to Vietnam last fall, but it was defeated. If any blame can be laid, it must "Spring has sprung.

The grass has riz. I wonder where the flowers is." That's right Bunky, it sure felt like spring yesterday, what with high temperatures in the 60's and the sun shining so bright it could've made an elephant blink. It felt like spring again today, by golly, although the temperatures were expected to weaken a bit and reach only into the 50's, but those blue skies and bright sun lingered on. And it will feel like spring again tonight and tomorrow, because it's gonna rain on you. Yep, what would spring be like without spring showers? Gotta grow those May flowers.

The rain is expected to fall tonight and Thursday, but the temperatures will remain mild, with lows in the lower 40's and highs Thursday in the lower 50's. The probability of precipitation, for what it's worth, is70 per cent tonight and Thursday, but if you get wet it's raining 100 per cent. All these warm feelings of the season will be chilled a bit leadership in Washington but a test of will and leadership in Saigon," said Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, a candidate for president. "So far that leadership has not met the test" Sen.

Birch Bayh, agreed. "I absolutely reject the idea that Congress bears any responsibility for the collapse of the South Vietnamese army and the abandonment a major battle being fought the three largest cities in the northern half of South Vietn am."

Eshleman said the reason for the disastrous South Vietnamese defeats is the lack of leadership in that country.

"Tliey'll try to blame it all on the U.S. But if there had been an honest election there three years ago, they wouldn't be in this bind today," he said. He added that the events of the past two weeks have shown the complete impotence of the United Nations. "We should withdraw all our support from that organization, because it hasn' done anything." He also declared that his health is good and that, contrary to rumors, he is not considering resigning. "Two persons, and I know who they are, are spreading rumors that I may even die in office.

As far as I know, and you can ask my doctors, my health is better than it has been in the past few years," Eshleman said. As for seeking re-election, Eshleman said he would not announce his intentions until probably January. Pa.
