of Fayette County; Larry Mer
neigh, 21, of Fulton County;
Theo McDaniel, 26, of Chamb

Madison County, N. C.
The quartet was part of a
seven man contingent that over
powered a trusty in a cornfield
about three miles from the pris
on Thursday, stole a Depart
ment of Corrections truck, and
made their escape amid a hall
of gunfire. Two of the seven
were recaptured almost immed
iately. A third was discovered in
hiding late Thursday night near
the truck which had been found
abandoned.
The seven were among a
group of 46 inmates who were
working in the field during the
break.
The prison said the four who
were recaptured Sunday were
taken without a struggle. An of
ficial said the four had been in
the Tattnall-Toombs county area
since the break. They apparent
ly stole a car near Reidsville
about 4 a. m., he added.
As they tried to get away
from a widening manhunt, the
four drove toward Lyons. On
the outskirts of the town, a
state police roadblock had been
set up. They ran the roadblock,
quickly abandoned the car, and
fled into the woods, officers
said.
Patrolmen quickly brought in
bloodhounds which tracked the
four down about 5 a. m.

LBJ Has Always Stressed
China Threat to Asia, U.S.
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
President Johnson’s critics on the war like to say that he
keeps changing the administration’s argument for U.S. par
ticipation in Vietnam.
According to the newest critical comment from dovish
Democratic senators and others, the President, Vice Presi
dent Humphrey, Secretary of State Rusk and other top offi
cers have only in the past month and a half stressed the
’‘national interest” and the danger from Red China as rea
sons for our presence.
The critics’ assertions look curious when set beside the
record of administration utterance as it was offered almost
from the beginning of our heavy entry into the fighting.
At a televised news conference July 28, 1965, wherein the
President announced a big war step-up, higher draft calls and
other moves, he said the war was spurred by Red China,
whose goal is conquest of Southeast Asia to “extend the Asi
atic dominion of communism.”
If we did not help to stop it, he foresaw this:
“In each land, the force of independence would be consider
ably weakened, and an Asia so threatened by Communist
domination would certainly imperil the security of the United
States itself.”
Five months earlier and only a few weeks after we had be
gun bombing North Vietnam, the White House—answering a
criticism of U.S. actions by U.N. Secretary General U Thant
—said:
“We conduct our policies, within our commitments to the
rest of the world, in what we consider the best interests of the
United States.”
Endlessly in the months thereafter, the President, Hum
phrey, Rusk and Defense Secretary McNamara presented our
heightened military activity in Vietnam as part of a broader
policy of preserving world freedom.
It is not plausible for the President’s critics to suggest that
he and his key men were talking about everybody’s freedom
except our own.
The President’s speech in Baltimore on April 7, 1965, is
well-remembered as voicing U.S. readiness to negotiate a
peace. But he also said:
“Over this war and all Asia is another reality—the deepen
ing shadow of Communist China. The rulers in Hanoi are
urged on by Peiping, a regime which ... is helping the forces
of violence in almost every continent.”
On May 13 of that year Johnson said in a nationally tele
vised speech that Red China’s target was both to dominate
all Asia and “to erode and to discredit America’s ability to
help prevent such Chinese domination.”
Rusk, on June 23, said he could not understand Hanoi’s
aversion to peace talks with the United States since “they,
too, fear the ambitions of Communist China in Southeast
Asia.”
This refrain from high administration sources can be docu
mented again and again through 1965 and thereafter.
THE DOCTOR SAYS
Subject Os Death
1 Shouldn’t Be Taboo
1
By Wayne G. Brandstadt, M.D.
Since death is a part of life,
it is important to help your child
understand and face it. When
children are not aware that they
are overheard, they often speak
of death and try to work out
ideas about it that satisfy them
emotionally. How well they suc
ceed depends upon reactions
they have observed in their own
families. If they become too wor
ried, they will ask questions that
indicate how well they have ad
justed to the idea.
A child who is only three will
have learned that flowers fade
and bird and insects die.
When, by extension, he asks
whether his parents will die,
he is seeking reassurance rath
er than bare facts. It is a mis
take to change the subject ab
ruptly as though it were taboo.
Rather, you should tell him that
all living things die but that he
and his parents are pretty sure
to be around for a long time. If
the subject comes up again, tell
him that, even if both of his par
ents died, grandparents or other
relatives he knows and loves will
take care of him.
When the question is no long
er theoretical and a close rela
tive dies, it is reassuring to a
child to see that you are griev
ing for the one who is gone. Gr
ief is an honest emotion and he
will know that it is one way of
showing how much you care for
him and all the loved ones who
are still living.
It is a great mistake to tell a
child that his grandfather has
gone on a long journey. He will
sense that this is not the whole
truth and will form an emotion
al revulsion to words suggesting
any kind of trip — even one that
might be pleasant.
If you tell a child that his fa
vorite aunt is dead and he refus
es to accept the fact, you should
neither try to persuade him that
he is wrong nor go along with
his fantasy. If, after three or
four months, he is still insisting
that she is alive and that he of
ten talks with her or sees her,
he may need psychiatric help.
Finally, and hardest of all, is
what to tell a child who has a
fatal illness. A study of 51 such
children revealed that they were
all worried. Members of the hos
pital staff, all trained to “pro
tect” the child from worry ab
out his disease, were instructed
to give each child an honoest
answer to his questions. The sp
irits of all 51 were Improved. It

is easier to face the known than
the unknown.
If you can teach your child
in his prayers to say, “If I die
before I wake,” you can teach
him that death, like everything
else in life, can be met when
ever it comes with serenity.

Officials Embarrassed
Newsmen Find Cong
Camp In Cambodia
By RAY F. HERNDON
MEMUT DISTRICT, Cambo
dia (UPD—I found a Viet Cong
camp hidden beneath a Cambo
dian Jungle canopy safe from
the U.S. warplanes that patrol
in South Vietnam three miles
away.
The Cambodian government
has denied the Viet Cong has
sanctuaries on its territory. It
invited two newsmen to look for
themselves in an area previous
ly off limits for Western
reporters. I had the distinct
impression the government had
no idea such a camp existed.
But there it was, behind a
roadblock.
Our six-hour, 150-mile trip
from Phnom Penh with Cambo
dian troops had been jovial. At
provincial and district towns
along the way, officials had
welcomed us warmly and
offered all assistance.
Small Clearing
Beyond the roadblock was the
first small clearing where a
shelter had housed troops. The
beams and roof timbers had
been dismantled and thrown
into the Jungle and several
small saplings had been
chopped down at the edge of the

We also saw the beginning of

A captain became so upset
finally that he said to me:
“You have seen it; now you
can go and write your article

The banter was gone. Ap
parently unprepared for what
we had discovered, the army
officers decided the investiga
tion could go no further that
day but said we could return on
the next day. Going back to
Phnom Penh and returning to
the camp, the Joviality was
replaced by grim stiffness.
All Business
It was all business when we
returned to the campsite and
the storage area. An army
platoon fanned out and cleared
the surrounding Jungles. From
the first shelter clearing, we
found trails that took us to
more than a dozen others, some
with buildings still standing. A

Everywhere was evidence
that this was a military camp:
A discarded uniform jacket with
epaulets, a supply sheet. All
around were little bits of paper
with Vietnamese writing on
them. I found a North
Vietnamese army issue bandage
pouch.
We wanted to push onward
closer to the frontier but went
no closer than 1.8 miles from
South Vietnam. The commander
of our troop escort did not want
his men to go closer. We
newsmen were not game to go
on alone.
In order that there would be
no doubt as to what wa
newsmen thought, we arranged
for a friendly embassy to tell
the defense ministry we be
lieved It to be a Viet Cong
camp.
Cambodian Premier Son Sann
said In Phnom Penh later he
doubted the Viet Cong could
have established a permanent
base camp on Cambodian soil
and promised an official inqui
ry.
