South Vietnam's Army Men Lauded by Reserve Leader Most of the men assigned to the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) are dedicated to the future freedom of their country, Capt. James F.

Lemp, Spokane subsector commander, U. S. Army Reserve, said here Friday. Capt. Lemp, who recently returned from a tour of duty as adviser to an ARVN engineer battalion north of Saigon, will replace Maj.

Richard J. Olson month as chief adviser to Spokane Army reservists. Maj. Olson will continue to make his home in Spokane following his retirement. "I was very impressed with the ability and devotion to duty of the ARVN engineers.

They do not have training or equipment given American Army engineering units but they do the best they can with what they have." Capt. Lemp said. The captain explained his advisory role during a noon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Armed Services Committee. "More than 20 per cent of the manpower utilized by ARVN engineering units must be expended to provide security for the projects undertaken. This, coupled with a lack of material and equipment, makes slow work of all construction projects.

"All ARVN engineering units must rely upon' the United States for equipment and technical assistance. They are willing and able to adapt to our way of doing things," Capt. Lemp said. He was high in his praise for the work of the individual ARVN soldier. "They are not as big physically our soldiers but steady and sure workers.

They become good craftsmen after they learn how construction jobs should be done. "They have to do much of their work by hand because they do not have the equipment required for the job. In addition, they face constant harassment from the Viet Cong," Capt. Lemp said.

Vinton G. Crabb of N2111 Belt. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) George Wallace won a place on the Oregon presidential ballot Friday night and said he might not need a national nominating convention. He said legal advisers expected to be able to tell him soon whether a convention was required.

Wallace said part of the legal study involved the methods of selecting a vice presidential nominee and writing a party platform. National Convention? Wallace brought up the possibility of dropping national convention plans when he answered a question on when the convention would be held. It was a departure from his usual position of saying he planned a national convention for his third party. The Oregon group adopted no name but approved a slogan "George C. Wallace, independent for President." Wallace, the former Alabama governor, came to Portland to attend the state convention that qualified his name for the Oregon ballot.

Griffin Nominated As soon as the delegates completed their organization they nominated him for the presidency and Marvin Griffin of Georgia for the vice presidency. Wallace Oregon was the 43rd state which he had qualified for the November ballot. He said he is working on other states. More than 1,000 registered voters approved his name for the ballot, as required by law. Some 3,000 others sat in the balconies, including, some hecklers.

S. Army Corps of Engineers is rushing approval of an additional $50,000 grant in order that the search for prehistoric man at the Marmes archaeological site may continue, Washington State University scientists learned Friday. Work had been scheduled to stop Sept. 1. Sen.

Warren G. Magnuson, D- Wash. informed project directors Richard D. Daugherty and Roald Fryxell of the decision after conferring with Gen. William F.

Cassidy, chief of the Corps of Engineers. The new allocation means that a 25-man scientific team from WSU will continue exploration for more skeletal reamains of Marmes Man and his contemporaries. The crew has been at the site on the Palouse River near Washtucna, since the Corps of Engineers made an original grant of $70,000 after the discovery last spring of ancient human remains 11,000 to 13,000 years old, the oldest such find made in the Western Hemisphere. Magnuson said he also has asked the Corps of Engineers to look into the possibility of building a coffer dam at the site which would prevent flooding in December by waters behind the Lower Monumental Dam, now nearing completion. Unless this is done the site will be covered by 40 feet of water.

The Corps of Engineers has agreed to study the possibility, he said. Recent finds at the site expedited requests that work be allowed to continue, the senator said. Only this week parts of three other ancient skulls were uncovered, which have been dated geologically at 9,000 to 10,000 years old. A bone needle, stone scraper, two trimming flakes and a tibia that appears to be human boneown "The individual villager of South Vietnam deserves the respect of Americans. Those who believe in their government in Saigon marked for death by the Viet Cong.

"It takes great conviction and courage on the part of the South Vietnamese to speak out publicly in support of Americans or of the South Vietnamese government," he said. Capt. Lemp was awarded the Bronze Star and the Vietnamese Honor Medal for his military ac. tivities in South Vietnam. He entered the Army following graduation in 1961 from the Univer- Pack River Eyes Polson Plywood Mill POLSON, Mont.

Pack River Lumber Spokane, has made a conditional offer to acquire the local plywood plant of U.S. Plywood Corp. The plant has been shut down since last November. Larry Brown, president of Pack River, told the Chamber of Commerce the deal would depend on ability to operate the plant and burner in the face of city ordinances prohibiting operation of industrial burners within the city limits. Brown told chamber officials his firm would expect to produce about 1 million feet of plywood monthly, compared with the 7 million volume of U.S.

Plywood. Production would start with a single shift, but the company hopes to employ three shifts soon, with more than 100 men on full time jobs. Brown said the entire plant and its yards would be cleaned up and improved. He said he was sure operation of the plant as proposed by Pack River would not create water or air pollution. The firm has asked to meet with the City Council in special session Monday.

Pack River has lumber mills here and at Plains and Thompson Falls in Montana, and two plants in Idaho. The plywood mill here would be the company's first plywood operation, Brown said.
