for Saigon Regime U.S. Volunteers Ready To Fight WASHINGTON (AP) Bart' Bonner says he has 100 American volunteers ready to fight in Vietnam for the Saigon government and that march under the banner of the Confederacy if they carry the Stars and Stripes. are going to make every effort to fight under our (American) flag. In searching for a symbol if it is not possible for us to carry our own flag, the stars and bars the Confederate flag is a beautiful flag and if what we have to carry, carry Bonner said. Bonner is a 34-year-old ex- Marine who operates a telephone answering service in Watertown, Y.

He told a news conference Tuesday that his organization, the Veterans and Volunteers for Vietnam, wants to send combat-trained troops to fight Communist in South Vietnam and offer assistance to any country who wants to oppose Communist He says he has 100 men ready to go right now. His plans are to fly them into South Vietnam within 10 days whether the United States or the South Vietnamese government wants them there. needs are being arranged in this he said. He provide specifics, but he said departure areas Sre being prepared in Texas, California and the Washington, D.C, area. The South Vietnamese embassy here has given the idea a cool reception.

An embassy spokesman said earlier that Vietnam wants U.S. weapons Cut not American personnel. If the South Vietnamese re fuse to let them in, we will find the means to enter and drive the Communists from another said an aide, Joe Belisario, 25. a former combat infantryman from Laurel, Md. Bonner identifies himself as founder of the organization he calls the VW.

He said the volunteers include former Green Berets, Air Force commandoes, Navy Seal teams trained to operate behind enemy lines and other combat servicemen. One wall of his office here is papered with letters and telegrams from individuals who identified themselves as ex- servicemen, including one who said he was 43 years old and last fought in Korea. hope 100 is only the Bonner says. hope to have 5,000 to 10,000 men there within three The message of the VVV is strongly anti-Communist. He also blames Congress for not coming to the aid of the Vietnamese people only fault was in believing the word of the United Bonner says his men will not bear arms in the United States, but will obtain weapons in South Vietnam from South Vietnamese soldiers and the South Vietnamese government.

His men. he says, are going to that country show the people of South Vietnam and the people of Southeast Asia that not all Americans are cowards, that the U.S. Congress is not the final voice for all Americans and they are not being totally betrayed by all Kremlin Praises Portugal Regime William AP Special Correspondent A truculent-sounding noise has just come from the Kremlin, seemingly intended to warn the United States and Western Europe against any attempt to interfere in Portugal, where the Communists ride high and a fairly meaningless election is set for Friday. The hint of warning came first in a major Pravda editorial last Friday and then a speech Tuesday by Mikhail Sus- lov, the old, unreconstructed Stalinist theoretician on the ruling Politburo. The statements were in a context of ringing praise for the policy of detente pursued by Leonid I.

Brezhnev, the Communist party general secretary. Thai foreign policy was flordlv endorsed as having achieved significant gains for the Soviet Union and international communism. The statements, together with the announced results of important party centra! committee meeting, left an impression of a party leadership solidly behind Brezhnev, now that a dark-horse contender for his job, Alexander Shelepin, has been bounced from the Politburo. The impression is also there that (iS-year- nid Brezhnev, if he chooses, uill remain boss beyond the next 25th party congress in February, free to chart policy, even if thereafter planning an orderly transfer of his power. speech, on the occasion of the 105th anniversary of I birth, noted that recent events like those in Portugal and the oil cartel were the whole directed objectively against Moscow considers the United States the fortress of imperialism.

Turning to Portugal. Suslov declared: emphatically denounce any attempts at intervention in the affairs of Portugal and welcome the unity of all Its progressive, revolutionary and democratic revolutionary and forces in Communist language all mean Communist forces, and they are doing so w'cll now in Portugal as to raise fears in the North Atlantic Treaty ization that its Portuguese an chor will soon become totally unreliable, Portugal is scheduled to vote Friday for a constituent assom bly, but since the Communists have succeeded in intimidating and immobilizing conservative and moderate elements, the re suits probably will mean little Anyway, in the unlikely event the extreme left should be displeased with that result, there would be little chance such an assembly would survive long enough to write a new constitution. On the other end of the NATO chain, as anti-American senti mcnt rises in Greece, Cyprus continues to be a sore spot for the alliance. Pravda seemed to cover that area in its editorial last Friday on the central committee results. The editorial said the Soviet Union bases itself on principles of sover eignty, territorial integrity and non-interference.
