Humphrey Accused Os
Shooting From Tip’
• . By United Press International
Hubert H. Humphrey, hinting
anew that as president he would
order an early reduction of
American forces in Vietnam,
today faced Republican charges
of "shooting from the lip” and
confusing voters about his
position on the war issue.
The Democratic presidential
candidate said Sunday he would
favor a gradual withdrawal of
« U.S. troops “sometime in the
near future" as long as
American and allied fighting
men were not placed in
jeopardy. Humphrey said that,
’ if elected, he would speak with
South Vietnamese officials
about a cutback that might
> begin in early 1969.
Appearing on television panel
shows in Cleveland and Colum
bus, the vice president said he
did not think his remarks put
■> him at odds with President
Johnson on the war. But, he
added, “If we are, so be it. I
have to make statements for
4 myself.”
Humphrey opened his cam
paign two weeks ago with a
similar forecast only to hear
President Johnson say immedi
-4 ately that “no man can predict
when the day will come” that
U.S. troops are returned home
from Vietnam.
, Humphrey agreed Sunday
that no one could safely say
when the war would end, but
he said: “My view, speaking for
, myself, is that ... we ought to
be able sometime in the near
future to systematically reduce
American combat forces in
South Vietnam.”
While GOP president candi
date Richard M. Nixon rested
at his New York City apart
ment, John M. Mitchell, nation-
• al campaign director for the
Republican ticket, accused
Humphrey of “shooting from
1 the lip” by suggesting that U.S.
• troops might be withdrawn soon
from Vietnam.
“Every time Mr. Humphrey
talks on Vietnam, he only adds
to the public confusion,” said
Mitchell. “Mr. Humphrey is
shooting from the lip again.”

Mitchell’s statement on Hum
phrey’s remarks paralleled an
nouncement of a newly orga
nised GOP “truth squad,” to be
headed by Sen. Hugh Scott of
Pennsylvania and Rep. Donald
Rumsfeld of Illinois. Republican
party officials said the team
wbuld follow Humphrey on the
campaign trail to rebut his
arguments.
Nixon aides said there were
no plans at present to take the
same steps with third party
candidate George Wallace, who
claimed Sunday that federal
guidelines had nearly destroyed
the public school system in
some large cities.
“A number of schools were
forced to close down the first
day or so because of violence
and riots—teachers injured,
pupils injured and rioting at
football games,” said Wallace
during a television interview
(Face the Nation—CßS).
In other political develop
ments:
Spiro T. Agnew—The GOP
vice presidential candidate said
the "super-simplistic” stands
Wallace has taken on Vietnam
and other vital issues were
irresponsible. Appearing on
television (Issues and Answers
—ABC), the Maryland governor
estimated Wallace would get
less than 15 per cent of the vote
in November and said he “was
not worried about him as a
candidate.” Agnew is spending
several days in Hawaii to rest
and also campaign for that
state’s four electoral votes.
George Meany—The president
of the AFL-CIO said that
although Wallace would benefit
from some white backlash,
Humphrey would get the great
vote. Meany, interviewed on
television (Meet the Press—
NBC), said some rank and file
labor voters “are being de
ceived by Wallace” who he said
was “a racist.”

Stubborn Writers Defying
Kremlin Edicts on Dissent
By RAY CROMLEY
NEA Washington Correspondent
Iw,
WASHINGTON (NEA)
Some aspects of the current unrest in the Soviet Union must
be extremely disturbing to the men in the Kremlin.
It is not primarily the amount of dissent that is significant.
It is rather the stubborn persistency of the dissenters that
must be taken very seriously.
• Unlike the old Stalin days, the dissenters haven’t abjectly
confessed when hauled into court. A significant number have
fought all the way, challenging the judges on every step.
When he was put on trial, writer Vladimir Bukovskli told
the Soviet judges they were acting like fascists and accused
the KGB (secret police) and the court of attempting to oper
ate in secrecy to hide their illegal acts. On learning his fate,
he bluntly told the officials, ‘‘When I am free again, I shall
again organize demonstrations.”
• Even tough sentences haven’t seemed to discourage other
dissenters. Each repression has brought on new protests.
Valentyn Moroz, after being sentenced, said, “As always,
they put people behind bars and, as always, deport them to
the East. But this time these people did not sink into obscu
rity. To the great surprise of the KGB, for the first time in
the last decade, public opinion has risen; for the first time
the KGB felt powerless to stifle all this.”
• The dissenters have openly advertised their discontent in
the West instead of keeping it in the family. Secret trials
have been exposed, not allowed to stay under cover.
When Aleksandr Ginzburg and lurii Galanskov were con
victed in a stacked court, Pavel Litvinov, grandson of famed
Maxim Litvinov, former Soviet foreign minister, addressed a
letter to world opinion. Litvinov reportedly has been arrested
for his efforts, but that has not prevented other Soviet writers
from persisting in their efforts to inform the West of what is
happening.
• The Kremlin has responded with a hodgepodge of coun
terattacks. Some writers have received exceedingly stiff sen
tences, some sent to insane asylums, some subjected to offi
cial campaigns of personal slander.
This retaliation seems to have had little effect.
When the Soviet government sent writer-mathematician
Aleksandr Esenin-Volpin in a mental hospital to keep him
quiet, 95 scholars spoke out in his favor, including several
winners of the Lenin prize and one full member and six cor
responding members of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
It is quite impossible, of course, to peer within the Kremlin
and tally the degree of confusion caused by the stubborn re
sistance of the writers and their refusal to be cowed by tradi
tional Soviet police-court methods.
The Soviet government has borne down hard with 13- and
15-year sentences at hard labor for some writers, but has
hesitated to bring charges against others equally active.
One Soviet expert sees “a vast and powerful government
dithering in irresolution in the face of a relatively small and
basically quite powerless body of poets, novelists and literary
critics.”
This is a situation in which a totalitarian government might
strike out blindly internally.
Adjourn Snag:
This Year It’s
Fortas Debate
By FRANK ELEAZER
WASHINGTON (UPD—Con
gress faces up this week to the
annual snag that holds up
adjournment, this time the
nomination of Abe Fortas as
U.S. Chief Justice.
Election-minded lawmakers,
especially in the House, are
looking to the start of the
Senate’s Fortas debate—proba
bly Wednesday—for fresh clues
on how much longer it may
take to wind up the 80th
Congress.
The most optimistic forecast
Was three weeks.
Senate leaders said they
would let debate on the Fortas
nomination run until perhaps
the last part of next week
before seeking a vote to cut off
further talk.
Nobody thinks they will get It.
How close they come will
determine whether they try
again later, after more talk,
or send word to President

Wallace Visits
Friend Maddox
By ESTELLE FORD
ATLANTA (UPD—The turn-
Johnson that Fortas, now an
associate justice of the Supreme
Court, can’t be elevated to the
post of chief justice.
First the Senate was consider
ing today and Tuesday a $71.9
billion defense appropriation bill
that in other times might have
generated the session-end con
troversy that inevitably is
generated by something.
This time, the way appeared
greased for Senate passage of
the big money measure, and for
quick agreement with the House
on differences between it and a
$72.2 billion version previously
approved by the House.
House members meantime
will be wrangling their way
through a miscellany of Issues
from more parking space in he
District of Columbia to more
food stamps for the hungry In
cities all over the country.
Advocates of a bill to open the
way for televised debates
among the major presidential
candidates will try again to free
it from a political and polemical
tangle In the House Commerce
Committee. Part of the problem
Is What to do about third-party
candidate George Wallace.
A decision is expected from
Chairman Emanuel Celler, D-
N.Y., of the House Judiciary
Committee on whether to ask
the House to accept the Sente’s
version of a new gun control bill
or whether to seek a comprom
ise between the Senate bill and
a version previously passed by
the House.
The world’s most precious co
ral is the red coral of Mediter
ranean waters, according to the
Encyclopaedia Britannica.

out was small but enthusiastic
and an elated Gov. Lester Mad
dox, free to declare his support
for his friend, welcomed “Pres
ident Wallace” to the gover
nor’s mansion.
Wallace, looking tired and
ready for this week’s rest from
the campaign trail, greeted the
300 persons gathered on the
lawn and along the steps to the
mansion in a stopover just
prior to his appearance In At
lanta on the nationally tele
vised CBS-TV news interview,
“Face the Nation.”
Wallace said he will announce
his running mate for the third
party presidential ticket this
week, “but I can’t say what
day."
He predicted he’d “win
enough states to win the elec
tion.”
"I won’t say how many,” he
said, but said Georgia would be
one of them.
Mrs. Maddox said they hadn’t
learned of Wallace’s visit to the
mansion until late, and for that
reason the Sunday open house
crowd was no larger than usual
at the time of Wallace’s arrival
from the airport.
Maddox and Wallace con
ferred briefly in private then
Maddox followed Wallace out
as he left for the local tele
vision studio, WAGA-TV, from
which the broadcast was made.
“He needs someone to help
him with his campaign,” Mad
dox said after Wallace, who has
been suffering from a lingering
virus for 10 days, departed. He
said it might be good if it were
a candidate from another sec
tion of the country in order to
bring in more votes.
Maddox, who last week open
ly declared himself in support
of Wallace, said the possibility
of him being a running mate
with the former Alabama gov
ernor “hasn’t been discussed.”
Maddox repeatedly referred
to Wallace as “President Wal
lace” and told Wallace’s pre
school aged daughter Lee, who
expressed a desire to live in
the $2.5 million Georgia man
sion, “Wait’ll you see the White
House.”
Wallace Would
Give Schools
Back To People
By ESTELLE FORD
ATI,ANTA (UPD — George
Wallace says that one of his
first acts as president would be
to give the schools back to the
people.
Wallace cnarged Sunday that
federal desegregation guidelines
are destroying the nation’s
public school systems.
Tile third party presidential
candidate made the statement
in a network television inter
view (CBS—Face the Nation)
originating from an Atlanta
station. Earlier, he had visited
Gov. Lester Maddox at the new
Georgia executive mansion.
Wallace said in the interview
that he would return control of
the schools to local government
‘‘within the law.”
‘‘A number of schools were
forced to close down the first
day or so of school because of
violence and riots—teachers
Injured, pupils injured and
rioting at football games,” he
said. ‘‘Well now, this is not a
good school system.”
He said the school systems
have deteriorated Into such a
situation "that it’s almost
dangerous for a child to go to
public school in many places in
our country ...”
Much of this has developed,
he said, as a result of federal
court decisions and actions by
the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare in
Washington.
Wallace said he will announce
his running mate for the third
party presidential ticket this
week, "but I can’t say what
day.”
He predicted he’d win "en
ough states to win the election.”
‘‘l won’t say how many,” he
said, but said Georgia would be
one of them.
Mrs. Maddox said they hadn’t
learned of Wallace’s visit to the
mansion until late, and for that
reason the Sunday open house
crowd was no larger than usual,
about 300.
Another Firm
Hikes Price
Os Newsprint
ATLANTA (UPD — A price
hike of $5 per ton on newsprint,
effective Jan. 1, was announced
Sunday by Clarendon Paper
Sales Co., a major newsprint
distributor.
The proposed increase follows
similar announcements last
week by major newsprint pro
ducers in the United States and
Canada, and would be the third
price raise since June 1966.
Clarendon President L. E.
Mansfield Jr. said the hike
would be a partial help in off
setting increased labor, wood
and other material and operat
ing costs at paper mills. Claren
don distributes newsprint man
ufactured by Cox Newsprint,
Inc., and Abitibl Paper Com
pany, Ltd.
Mansfield said the hike also
would cover substantial approp
riations to research made by
these mills to enable them to
supply newsprint that “not only
meets today’s requirements, but
those foreseen for the future as
the newspaper industry turns to
higher speeds and more sophis
ticated means of production.”
Publishers, particularly in the
South, have criticized the hike,
which led to immediate price
hikes in the subscription rates
of daily newspapers, in some in
stances.
MASKED RIDERS
NAPLES (UPD—About 50
masked motorcyclists rode their
roaring cycles into the marble
arcade of the fashionable
Umberto I gallery Monday
night, sending terrified tourists

Before police arrived, the
cyclists sped away. Police set
up roadblocks but reported
difficulty in identifying mem
bers of the gang. They had
covered their license plates with
cardboard.
