Viet Foe Switches Back
To Guerrilla War Tactics

WASHINGTON (NE A)
Bits and pieces of evidence make It almost certain the Viet
Cong and Hanoi early this year decided to gradually return
to classical guerrilla warfare in South Vietnam.
This agonizing reappraisal apparently involved a •‘palace
revolution” In Hanoi, in which Defense Minister Giap-the
victor at Dien Bien Phu—overthrew his chief rivals in the
close, tight ring around Ho Chi Minh.
• For .s°s? ! ha ? « ye«» VletCong leaders had been quarrel
ing with Ho’s decisions to stress semiconventional, big-unit
battles with U.S. and South Vietnam forces. The same quarrel
had been going on in Ho’s inner circle in Hanoi. Finally, in
dications are, Ho was sold on the necessity of returning to
protracted subversive insurgency and abandoning attempts
for a quick victory.
The decision should mean radical changes in the war.
The viet c<ra £ ma y BOW P ut heavy emphasis on creating
‘Detroit’’- and “Watts”-type explosions on an ever broaden
ing scale in South Vietnam’s major cities and towns.
The Communists: have been relatively weak in the big
cities to date, their own documents emphasize. Their new
organizing-recruiting drives may aim at slum dwellers, dis
oriented refugee groups and unsettled youth who have crowd
ed into the cities, attracted by the bright lights and jobs.
• A sharp increase is probable in political assassinations in
both the cities and countryside. VC terrorism could be di
rected against the newly elected village councilmen and
hamlet chiefs. Increased terrorists pressures may be put on
policemen, teachers, fishing and agricultural co-operative
officials, youth leaders and Gls.
• A major increase in economic sabotage Is planned.
Details are not yet dear.
• A major drive apparently is under way to improve the
quality and increase the number of Viet Cong underground
political, psychological warfare and economic cadres. The
aim here is to accomplish a major reorganization and restruc
turing of the Communist underground base for long-term
subversive insurgency.
To accomplish this, the. Communists are shifting some of
their ablest men from mainline military forces and may send
down men now being trained in North Vietnam.
Many of the ablest of the VC political-economic-psychologi
cal warfare cadres were yanked out of the provinces in 1969
and 1966 to beef up the military “drive to victory.”
Under the new program, the North Vietnam military forces
and the Viet Cong mainline armies would continue to be
employed as diversionary forces to “tie down” American and
South Vietnamese armies.
This .would give VC agents the freedom they need to
revamp and build their organization in rural hamlets, city
alums and refugee camps for the long haul they see ahead.

Michigan GOP Extends
Helping Hand to Harassed
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
The Republican party in Michigan is trying to gain what it
has not had for decades—the trust and support of the
problem-ridden people of the cities.
In Detroit and many other places, it has created what
amounts to a social action arm, whose goal is problem-solving
in behalf of thousands of harassed, frustrated, often angry
citizens who are looking for help.
At the core of this so-called “involvement program” are
steady efforts to help young jobseekers, to talk dropouts into
continuing school, to aid victims of bureaucratic bungling or
indifference as encountered at all levels of government.
The key element in these endeavors is the Metropolitan
Action Center set up last April on Detroit’s Woodward Avenue
in one of the city’s worst Negro slums. Today it handles an
average of more than 60 problems a day.
Undoubtedly, the single most spectacular achievement of
the Michigan GOP’s involvement project came last summer
when, with the emergency help of party groups in some 17
counties, 160,000 pounds of food was trucked into Detroit to
provide relief for thousands of victims of the July riot.
At its simplest level the program occasionally looks a little
like the old “Christmas baskets for the poor” which Demo
cratic big city bosses made famous in the early 20th century.
At its most complex, the involvement effort casts its leaders
as a pressure group upon government, as trouble-shooters,
social workers, financial and job counselors. Its very tangible
presence as a problem-solver stands as a rebuke to imper*
sonal, often inefficient bureaucracies.
To the extent it works well as an offset to fumbling govern
ment agencies, Michigan Republican leaders see this under
taking—now spread across more than 30 counties—as a prac
tical and persuasive Republican answer to what they consider
is the automatic Democratic approach: Simply asking more
money for government programs which are already hope
lessly bogged down.
(Actually, on a still quite Iftnited scale, the Democratic
party is beginning to try something similar to the Michigan
program in Massachusetts and New York.)
The Michigan leaders, spurred on by tough-minded State
Chairman Elly Peterson, make no secret of their fundamental
political purpose in all this. Reads a party document in part:
“It was imperative that we act swiftly and decisively to
improve the Republican image in the big cities ... we had
to prove to the inner-city people that their best interest today
rests in the modern Republican party.”
That the Democrats have also begun to stir on the social
action front makes a larger point. Popular distrust today em
braces both parties. Increasingly, they are being viewed as
simply mechanisms for the self-perpetuation of politicians
who make promises they either cannot or will not fulfill.
An endeavor to give the parties the color and substance of
social action agencies may ultimately be put down as a
healthy move toward self-preservation, if—over a span of
time—the social results prove impressive. But it is far too
early to tell. “Involvement” is in its infancy.
