committing “worse crimes than
the Hitlerite fascists.’’ He also
demanded the United States
Ignore its Saigon ally and settle
the war directly with the Viet
Cong Communist guerrillas.
Diplomats said North Viet
nam and the United States are
expected to reach a comprom
ise on Viet Cong-Saigon difficul
ties and get the negotiations
under way next week. They said
any lingering hopes for opening
the talks this week, already a
month overdue in starting, died
in the Thao blast.
“The Americans must solve
the South Vietnamese problem
with the National Liberation
Front TViet Cong’s political
arm* in order to find a correct
political solution in accordance
with the interest of the
American and Vietnamese
peoples,” Thao said.
He denounced South Viet
delegation leader as an “ardent
i admirer of Hitler” and said
only the Viet Cong could
represent the South Vietnamese
people in talks.
Talks between the United
States, North and South Viet
nam and the Viet Cong were to
have opened Nov. 6.
Thao’s position countered
South Vietnamese delegation
statements Monday. The Saigon
delegation, led by Vice Pres
ident Nguyen Cao Ky, said it
considers the Viet Cong a Hanoi
puppet and said the guerrillas
; will take part in talks only as
part of the North Vietnamese
I delegation.
American and North Vietna
mese diplomats were reported
trying to arrange some sort of
compromise between Saigon
and the Viet Cong to allow the
talks to open.
The Viet Cong’s clandestine
jungle radio, heard in Saigon,
today did nothing to make i
compromise easier.
It claimed Ky came to Paris '
Sunday to “destroy the confer- i
ence.”
The Viet Cong radio alsoj
repeated an appeal for guerril-I
las to stage “offensives and
uprisings” this month to mark
the underground organization’s
eighth anniversary.
Precedent Broken
In Laird Selection
By GEORGE MARDER
WASHINGTON (UPD—Pres
ident-elect Richard M. Nixon is
making a sharp break with
precedent in selecting Rep.
Melvin Laird, R-Wis., to head
the Pentagon. Laird will be the
first defense secretary recruited
from Capitol Hill.
The break is probably inten
tional, portending an era of
smoother relations between the
Defense Department, the na
tion’s largest employer, and a
Congress which made a practice
of calling Laird’s predecessors
to personal account for every
thing from boot laces to
battleships.
The 46-year-old congressman's
selection for the post has not
been officially confirmed by
Nixon headquarters in New
York, but informed Republican
sources said the appointment
was set for announcement in

Opening
Washington Wednesday evening
when Nixon unveils his entire
cabinet on national television.
Running the Defense Depart
ment in the past was considered
the nearest thing to running an
automobile firm. And for that
reason presidents dipped into
the ranks of top automobile
industry management for men
to run the department. Charles
E. Wilson of General Motors
preceded Robert S. McNamara
of Ford.
These were men who knew
how to produce hardware and
how to control vast enterprises.
Laird is far removed from
that pattern. His selection not
only takes the defense job away
from the industrial manager or
lawyer-financier, it gives the
post to a politician—-a top
politician. Laird is as much of
an innate politicial as President
BERLIN (UPI) — Leftwing
and rightwing extr emi sts i
clashed last month in the West I
German city of Siegen at a
rally of the National Democra
tic Porty < NPD > which has I
been denounced as neo-Nazi.
The number injured was ■
j small and the incident attracted
j little attention outside Germa-1
I ny.
But the fighting between the :
two extremist groups was noted
with great concern in Germany.
German observers said they
saw as another sign of what
many consider the most signifi
cant development in Germany
in 1968—the beginnings of a
polarization of political activity j
and the increasing use of
■ violence as a political tool.
Many voices are being raised
!to warn against encouraging |
what liberal novelist Gunter
: Grass called “The German lust ;
for destruction.”
History Repeated
Grass, in a speech denouncing
i extremism, said “when w T e i
| critically observe the rightist 1
and leftist radicalism in the
; (Western) Federal Republic of :
I Germany then the story of the
downfall of the Weimar Repub
lic will arise to warn us against
a repetition of events that had
; such fatal consequences.”
Tire newspaper Frankfurter
Allgemiene Zeitung wrote, “the
rioting around the hall in Siegen
clearly in reminiscent of the
events before 1933,” the era of
the Naxls’ riotious rise.
There are many differences
between propserous West Ger
many today and the Germany
of depression days with its Nazi
stormtroopers and the Commu
nist Red Guards.
But it cannot be forgotten
here that the left-right rioting
and violence did so much to
undermine the democratic re*
i public established in Germany
i after World War I and to pave
, the way for Adolf Hitler.

Mayor Kimsey Stewart (r) received S3OO for charity this morning in the grand
opening ceremony at Universal CIT Credit Corp., 627 West Taylor street. Five keys
were used. He received money for each key that did not open the lock. The fifth
key unlocked it. He donated the money to the United Fund. Watching as he tries
one of the keys are (I-r) Gene Cook and C. A. Knowles, representing the Chamber
of Commerce, City Manager Jack Langford, Universal CIT manager Otis Pruitt,
and County Commission Chairman Jack Moss.
Johnson and Nixon.
Laird is a career congress
man, a professional Republican
politician among the ablest and
the shrewdest in the business.
He has been the ranking
Republican member of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee and on the subcommittee
dealing with the armed servi
ces.
As such, Laird has acquired
an intimate knowledge of the
setup at the Defense Depart
ment as well as its politics and
its lobbying. But he has not had
to administer any vast enter
prise.
On Vietnam, Laird has been
on the hawkish side. He has
been one of the strongest
Republic critics of Johnson’s
conduct of the war.
Capitol Hill reaction to
Laird’s reported selection was
generally favorable.
