Rockefeller Plans
To Recommend Some
(lianges In Policy
NEW YORK (UPl)—Despite
the rioting and protests that
accompanied his 20-nation tour
of Central and South America,
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
thinks visits for President
Nixon produced results that will
enable him to recommend a
new “hemisphere-wide U.S.
policy."
His arrival at Kennedy
International Airport Sunday
echoed the disorders that
accompanied some of the stops
on the four-part fact-finding
mission, which began May 11.
Three hundred youths, chanting
“Cuba si, Rocky no!" and
holding signs which said “Latin
America doesn’t want you—we
don’t either,” gathered at the
airport terminal an hour before
Rockefeller’s official jet landed.
The police scuffled briefly
with the young people and kept
them away from Rockefeller’s
party. The New York governor
left by hecliopter for his estate
at Pocantico Hills, N.Y., after a
short news conference, never
coming within sight of the
demonstrators.
He plans to report to the
President next month on all
phases of Latin American life
economics, politics, social, cul-
5
tural and educational affairs—
’’relating to U.S. policy and
U.S. government organization"
Summing up the 43,470-mile
trip, Rockefeller said:
“The problems that developed
during the course of the trip
are clear evidence of the fact
that all is not well and there
there is an urgent need for
change in our policies.”
As he flew in from Bridge
town, Barbados, Rockefeller
said, he receiyed a message
from Nixon indicating the
president “is pleased with the
I mission and looks forward to
receiving my recommenda
tions.” He declined to reveal
the contents of his report, but
, said the balance of trade is a
major concern for Latin
America because “there’s more
money coming back to the
United States than is going
out.”
Dr. Aderhold
Is Buried
In Athens
ATHENS (UPI) — Dr. O. O.
Aderhold, under whose 17-year
presidency enrollment at the
University of Georgia nearly
tripled and the percentage of
faculty members with doctoral
degrees almost doubled, was
buried in Oconeea Hill Cemetery
Sunday night.
Aderhold died in Athens Gen.
eral Hospital last Friday follow,
ing a long illness. He was 69.
In September, 1950, Aderhold
became the university’s 17th
president. By the time he re
. tired in 1967, research grants to
! the school had climbed from
! $250,000 to $6 million.
Rev. Julian cave officiated at
! funeral services in the Athens
First Baptist Church.
Aderhold’s death was
mourned throughout the state.
His successor, Dr. Fred C. Da
vison, described him as “an
outstanding educational leader.”
“The progress and growth of
the University today is a monu-
I ment to Dr. Aderhold’s vision
and determination,” Davison
said.
Dr. George L. Simpson Jr.,
chancellor of the University
System of Georgia, said “no
man has ever done more for
education In Georgia.
“He did a magnificent job at
the university, often under dif
ficult circumstances,” the chan
cellor added.

Wider Base Vital
To Saigon Survival
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
The National Liberation Front and President Thieu’s
Saigon government are locked in a major political stale
mate in South Vietnam which is no less significant than
the bloody impasse on the battlefields.
The NLF’s formation of a provisional government was,
among other things, an acknowledgement that the front’s
political struggle for the vital allegiance of larger and
larger numbers of South Vietnamese was not going well.
The provisional government, embracing also the second
ary Alliance of National Democratic and Peace Forces, is
a new net intended to draw in wavering or uncommitted
elements of South Vietnamese society and suggest to
America and the world—at heavy cost to Saigon—the
advancing “legitimacy” of the Viet Cong.
Off the record of the NLF and the Allianqp (formed in
early 1968 for the same purpose, though on a less pre
tentious scale), the new political mechanism probably will
not succeed.
But, by the same token, the Saigon government Is not
widening its popular base, either. Worse still, it is not try
ing. In fact, rather than welcoming new, diverse, and often
healthy opposing elements, Thieu and other leaders have
discouraged them. In critical Instances, they have re
pressed them.
There is nothing really startling in this, of course, since
Saigon governments from the time of the 1954 Geneva ac
cords have been characteristically inhospitable to new
elements potentially threatening to their power.
If, as now seems likely, the American military role in
Vietnam is hereafter destined to diminish at a fairly steady
pace, Saigon will obviously need all the home-based sup
port it can get to survive more or less on its own. And it
will need sympathy abroad which, as a basically repressive
regime for all its new constitutional forms, it does not
enjoy today.
Estimates by allegedly detached observers in Saigon
suggest that the NLF and its “provisional government”
today could command no more than 15 per cent of the
South Vietnamese population as either hardcore or sym
pathetic supporters.
Should these figures be even just roughly accurate,
Hanoi’s present reluctance to sanction early elections in
South Vietnam is understandable.
In the elections proposed for July, 1956, by the Geneva
pact (but never held), it was broadly assumed that both
North and South Vietnam would vote—on the general sub
ject of reunification—and that the then more populous Com
munist North would engulf the rival South.
No such prospect is currently envisioned. An election this
time would be limited to the South, and to the choosing of
a government for Saigon under the terms of a new military
and political settlement.
However firm Hanoi stands against such a test today,
its leaders know they will have to pay some price for the
withdrawal of major U.S. forces from Vietnam. Interna
tionally supervised elections are the obvious American
bargaining weapon.

L&N Seeking
To Cut
Passenger Train
ATLANTA (UPI) — Citing the
lack of profits in passenger ser
vice, the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Co. said it would ask
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today for permission to
discontinue its only passenger
train into Atlanta.
If the ICC grants permission,
the 609-mile run between Atlan
ta and St. Louis, Mo., will end
Aug. 13. A four-month delay for
hearings will be called if the
commission receives a substan
tial number of complaints on
withdrawal of the service.
niat would move the termina
tion date to Dec. 13.
Atlanta only puts a total of
about 15 passengers onto the
one incoming and one outgoing
L&N passenger train each day.
However, a spokesman for the
railroad said small towns along
the line would probably com
plain and that one stop in Ken
tucky, which puts on an aver
age of one-half passenger a day
each way, has already informed
the company it will protest to
the ICC.
If the railroad is allowed to
stop the service, the air rights
now occupied by its Union Sta
tion in Atlanta will revert to the
state and be leaseable from the
State Properties Control Com
mission.
L&N aid it suffered an out
of-pocket loss of $688,000 on the
At’anta-St. Louis service.
Bob Ethridge, passenger ser
vice manager, said L&N runs
three other passenger trains,
none of which is profitable.
“The one thing that has hurt
lire railroads more than any
thing else,” he said, “is the
Interstate Highway system.”

Pompidou, was under a doctor’s

UPI Space Writer
CAPE KENNED (UPD-
Apollo Ils astronauts, on the
home stretch of preparations
for man’s first landing on the
moon, faced a busy schedule of
practice and brush-up review
today after a long weekend at

Houston.
It was the last weekend

Michael Collins and Edwin E.

Abernathy's Help
Asked In Waycross
WAYCROSS, Ga. (UPl)—Fol
lowing a quiet “Black Independ
ence Day” here Saturday, Ne
gro protest leader O. E. Wells
sent a telegram to Dr. Ralph
Abernathy asking for help.
About 400 Negro demonstra
tors, singing civil rights songs
and waving signs that read
“Whitey Beware,” marched
through Waycross to a cere
mony at the Ware County Court
house.
Rev. Wells, a member of the
city manager’s newly formed
bi-racial committee, had pre
dicted a parade of 700 and a
crowd of about 1,000 persons at
the courthouse gathering.
There were no incidents re
ported as a small group of
white spectators watched the
Negroes march to the court
house, go inside briefly and then
return to the Mt. Zion ME
Church.
“I am pleading for help in
Waycross to organize a fight
for hunger and poverty,” Wells
told Abernathy.
He asked the Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference
leader for “all SCLC staff sup
port.”
Saturday’s march came after

PROPOSES CUT
WASHINGTON (ULI) —Sen.
William Proxmire, D-Wis. has

“We’ve had the surcharge for a

gone up higher than ever,”
Proxmire said in a television
interview (Face the Nation—
CBS). “People st9ll have to pay
taxes on top of the price rise.”

WASHINGTON (UPI) —Rep.
Wright Patman, D-Tex., has
called on President Nixon to
clamp a lid on the prime
interest rate, to prevent it from
rising again beyond the present
8.5 per cent record rate. In a
letter to Nixon during the
weekend, Patman said top
administration officials told
him they have no plans to
prevent another increase. “The
people are disturbd about this
issu and it is devastating for
them to be told that their
federal government has done
and will do nothing to protect
them," Patman said.
