Racial Unrest Shifts
To Other N. J. Cities
By WILLIAM T. KEOUGH
NEWARK, N.J. (UPD—Ra
cial unrest fading out of
Newark hop-scotched to other
New Jersey communities in a
widening frontier of violence. A
fragile truce in Plainfield faced
a showdown at noon.
Civil rights leaders, predicting
continuing trouble until white
officials change their attitudes
toward Negro problems, called
for a meeting with Gov.
Richard J. Hughes as a first
step toward a stable peace.
“City officials won’t listen to
us,” a Negro minister said in
Elizabeth.
Trouble Widen s
The tension points dotted a 50-
mile area of north and central
sections of the state Paterson,
Elizabeth, Asbury Park, New
Brunswick, Jersey City, Plain
field, Montclair, Rawhay and
Franklin Township.
The drama mounted in
Plainfield where officials threa
tened to break a truce worked
out with Negro leaders in the
sealed-off west end unless
rioters surrender their weapons
by noon.
The weapons included 50 rifles
and carbines stolen from an
arms manufacturer, police said.
National Guard troops and state
police, stationed on the perime
ter of the west end for two days
under the truce agreement, will
be ordered to retrieve them
in a house-by house hunt if the
noon deadline is Ignored.
Milt Campbell, a Negro 1956
Olympic decathlon champion,
walked through the littered
streets of the west end were
he was born on a voluntary
mission of peace. He returned
with a carbine and some
ammunition.
“I think it's over now,” he
said. “The outsiders have gone
home now.”
Shooting Again
Sporadic shooting, however,
erupted late Tuesday night.
In New Brunswick, a petite
lady mayor for the second
straight night cooled off an
angry mob of 150 Negroes
marching on the police head
quarters. The Negroes demand
ed the withdrawal of shotgun
carrying police from the down
town area where looting,
burning and window-smashing

Silencers Make
4 Mutes’ Mute
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPD—Furth
er fables of our times:
In the late fall of 1966, the
nation’s teeny-boppers began
going out of their skulls over a
musical group called “The
Mutes,” which at first was hard
to figure.
From an orchestration
standpoint there was little to
distinguish “The Mutes” from
the other 5,200 top musical
groups.
Reading from left to right,
there were Teddy and Freddy
on the electric guitars, Eddy on
the amplified drums, Betty on
the amplified harpsicord and
Hedy on the amplified bassoon.
In short, a typically well
balanced modern music ensem
ble.
New Device
To understand what gave
“The Mutes” their special
appeal, we must go back to an
exhibition sponsored in Chicago
last June by the National
Association of Music Merchants.
Prominent among the displays
were devices called the “ampli
tone,” the “solo-amp” and the
“solo-phone.” Those are brand
names. The generic term for
them is “silencers.”
Plug one of these things into
an amplified musical in
strument and you can no longer
hear it. Unless you happen to be
wearing a headset. Ingenious.
Silencers were designed prl-
in the port district were looted;
two arrests in Jersey City
where minor incidents were
, reported.
Brooms replaced rifles in the
1 streets of Newark. Store owners
and city workers pressed a
massive cleanup operation as
businesses began reopening.
Mayor Hugh J, Addonizio
called on the entire city—white
and black—to join in the giant
job of rebuilding.
marily for practice sessions.
That way a kid could practice
on his amplified French horn
without disturbing the folks next
door. Or in the next town.
It was Teddy, leader of “The
Mutes,” who hit upon the idea
of using silencers in public. One
Saturday night, while playing
for a dance at the sedate old
Nitty Gritty Club, he plugged in
the silencers and gave all the
dancers headsets.
Choice of Music
The dancers could still hear
the music, but not necessarily
the same music. Teddy, Freddy,
Eddy, Betty and Hedy would
each play a different song. The
music a dancer heard depended
on which instrument his headset
was plugged into.
Needless to say, this made
dancing more fun than ever.
Particularly when the dancers
began to get tangled up in the
extension cords.
At the next dance, Teddy had
an even better idea. He
unplugged the headsets so the
dancers couldn’t hear the music
at all. Everyone agreed that
was the most fun yet.
“Like it gives you more
freedom to express yourself,”
one teeny-bopper explained.
‘The Mutes” became national
sensations. They cut five 45 rpm
records, all of which were
inaudible and each of which sold
more than a million copies.
Other groups tried to imitate
their style but their loyal fans
insisted on not hearing "The
Mutes.”

Ho Strategy: Fight Yanks
One Place, Seize Another
By RAY CROMLEY
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON (NEA)
It is not by accident the “military war” in Vietnam is
going well for us and the pacification program faltering.
The Mao Tse-tung, Ho Chi Minh strategy of guerrilla war
fare aims at this very effect.
Not that Mao and Ho want to lose militarily. But the aim
of Communist military strategy is not to win battles.
The primary objective of Communist mainline troops is
to tie down the major enemy military units (ours) so that
the Communist political and guerrilla cadres can sabotage
the enemy pacification program (ours) and strengthen their
own political underground rule free of interference.
One of Mao’s favorite military maxims can be roughly
paraphrased as: If you want to occupy and rule A, draw the
enemy’s troops off into a fight at B. Then they’ll not be
around to bother you at A. . .
The second objective of Ho’s major forces is to grind down
the enemy mainline forces (ours) in endless frustrating cam
paigns, so that in the end the price being paid seems unbear
able for the results achieved.
Ho’s troops are successfully drawing major U.S. units from
the main population areas of South Vietnam.
Therefore, not enough U.S. and Vietnamese troops can
be spared to guard the pacification teams so that they can
get about their work of creating viable people-backed local
governments in rural South Vietnam.
The pacification teams and the local Vietnamese leaders
are the No. 1 Viet Cong targets. If these local teams and
leaders are repeatedly destroyed and do not recover, the
Mao-Ho theory holds that we cannot win the war.
Os course, Ho pays a price for this kind of fighting in
North Vietnamese and Viet Cong dead and wounded. But
there’s no evidence that he will run out of troops in the fore
seeable future. By Communist reckoning, Ho can afford the
losses*
Mao in China lost 90 per cent of his men in one lengthy
series of defeats in his long war to take over mainland China.
He lost more than half his effectives in another series of
campaigns. Neither of these reverses kept his insurgency
from continuing. . . ~ _ ,
In the war against Japan, Mao’s troops consistently lost
battles. But they kept the Japanese troops tied down on the
roads, railroads, cities and major towns. This left the Com
munist cadres free to organize in the countryside.
Japanese troops made continual forays. They were strong
enough to move whenever and wherever they chose. The
Communists melted away. But the Japanese couldnt be
everywhere at once. Where they weren’t, the Communists
moved in. When the Japanese came, the Communist forces
moved someplace else. But the Red underground stayed put
under the surface. ,
If Ho’s troops can keep us busy at the DMZ, along the
Cambodian border and in other isolated spots, their task of
working on the people in the heavily populated areas is much
But Ho’s strategy can be used against him. He is sucked in
by the same tactics he applies so successfully against us.

Mideast Crisis Has
Oil Critics Over Barrel
By WILLIAM D. LAFFLER
UPI Financial Editor
NEW YORK (UPl)—The re
cent Middle East crisis has put
critics of the United States’ oil
and gas policies over an empty
barrel.
The critics object to
American oil industry policies
and argue that industries
should get more of their petro
leum products from cheap for
ign sources.
Those who oppose the import
ing of foreign oil say the boy
cott or embargo that is im
posed at the convenience of the
overseas nations is a good point
against doing business with
them on a large scale.
The embargo against oil im
ports to the United States and
Britain imposed by Arab coun
tries in the aftermath of the
Arab-Israeli war has been cited
as an outstanding example.
