Viet Cong
Condemns
Peace Plan
By RAY F. HERNDON
PARIS (UPl)—The Viet Cong
delegation to the Vietnam
peace talks today condemned
President Nixon’s new peace
program as a maneuver
designed to prolong the war.
Communist sources said the
North Vietnamese delegation
would issue a similar statement
later today voicing “unequivo
cal condemnation” of Nixon’s
speech on the Vietnam war
delivered Monday night.
In a statement, the Viet Cong
delegation assailed Nixon for
failing to meet the Communists
two major demands—complete
evacuation of U.S. troops from
South Vietnam and the over
throw of the present Saigon
regime.
The Viet Cong accused Nixon
of having repeated in his
Vietnam policy statement his
already stated policies.
The Viet Cong also accused
Nixon of seeking to “slander”
the Viet Cong’s struggle against
the American-backed Saigon
government.
Although the Communist ne
gativeanswer to Nixon’s speech
was largely expected, its
harshness and virulent tone
nevertheless surprised obser
vers.
Nixon’s assertion he will
press ahead his policy of
Vietnamization of the war
making the South Vietnamese
fight an increasingly larger
part of the war—and the
prompt Communist condemna
tion of the American policies,
was not encouraging for the
future of the deadlocked peace
talks here, observers said.
While assailing the presiden
tial program, Communist
spokesmen fully maintained’
their unyielding negotiation
demands.
Goldstein
Favors College
Louis Goldstein, candidate for
city commissioner, said he
favors a junior college for
Griffin and would appear before
any board or group necessary to
secure one.
He said he would favor a re
fenderdum on the matter of lo
cal financing.
Mr. Goldstein answered three
questions by the Junior College
Committe of the Chamber of
Commerce.
However, the committee said
it did not receive his answers in
time to make them public at the
same time the other four candi
dates views were announced.
Nixon Says Ho
Rejected Appeal
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Pres
ident Nixon has revealed he
sent Ho Chi Minh a letter in
mid July pleading for a negoti
ated settlement of the war. He
said the late president of North
Vietnam “flatly rejected” the
appeal in a reply received three
days before his death.
Nixon disclosed the exchange
of letters Monday night during
his national broadcast address
on the Vietnam War. The text
of each letter later was made
public by the White House.
In his letter to Nixon, Ho said
American withdrawal from
Vietnam, both politically and
militarily, was the “path that
will allow the United States to
get out of the war with honor.”
The North Vietnamese were
“determined to fight to the
end,” he declared.
The President said he decided
to write Ho after becoming
“convinced that it was necessa
ry to make a major move to
break the deadlock in the Paris
talks.” But he said the letter
was only one of several
“initiatives we undertook pri
vately and secretly because we
thought that we might thereby
open a door which publicly
would be closed.”
In his letter dated July 15
which Nixon said was carried
to Hanoi by an unidentified
individual “who had known Ho
Chi Minh on a personal basis
for 25 years,” the President
said:
“The time has come to move
forward at the conference table
toward an early resolutuion of
this tragic war. You will find us
forthcoming and open-minded
in a common effort to bring the
blessings of peace to the brave
people of Vietnam. Let history
record that at this critical
juncture, both sides turned
their face toward peace rather

Analysis
Nixon Virtually
Writes Off Talks
By STEWART HENSLEY
UPI Diplomatic Reporter
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Pres
ident Nixon has virtually
written off the Paris talks. He
now pins his hopes on a gradual
U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam
under conditions giving the
Saigon government a fighting
chance for survival.
The president’s address to the
nation Monday night was aimed
at two audiences:
—He appealed to the Ameri
can public for time in which to
achieve a carefully staged
pullout keyed to the increasing
ability of the South Vietnamese
to defend themselves.
—He warned Hanoi the
timetable would be interrupted
and the United States would
take “strong and effective
measures” if the Communists
increased infiltration or the
level of violence during the U.S.
pullout.
Plan to end War
Nixon called this “a plan
which will bring the war to an
end regardless of what happens
on the negotiating front.”
In his May 14 address in
Vietnam, the President had
emphasized his proposals for a
negotiated peace, involving
mutual withdrawals by Hanoi
and the United States and a
political settlement worked out
by the Saigon government and
Antiwar Leaders
Ridicule Speech
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Lead
ers of antiwar demonstrations
scheduled later this month
ridiculed President Nixon’s war
policy speech as disappointing
and insulting, predicting that
his comments will only drive
more protesters into the
streets.
than toward conflict and war.”
Nixon said he received Ho’s
reply Aug. 30. It “simply
reiterated the public position
North Vietnam had taken in the
Paris talks and flatly rejected
my initiative,” he told the
nation.
Ho’s letter said in part:
“In your letter you have
expressed the desire to act for
a just peace. For this the
United States must cease the
war of aggression and withdraw
their troops from South Viet
nam, respect the right of the
population of the south and of
the Vietnamese nation to
dispose of themselves without
foreign influence.
“This is the correct manner
of solving the Vietnamese
problem in conformity with the
national rights of the Vietna
mese people, the interests of
the United States and the hopes
for peace of the people of the
world. This is the path that will
allow the United States to get
out of the war with honor.”

the Viet Cong.
Monday night he put his
emphasis on a plan for staged
ÜB. withdrawal over a period
of time—with honor.
In effect, he has come to
terms with reality.
He recognizes the United
States must get out of Vietnam
within the next two or three
years to avoid an explosion at
home and that there is little
hope of doing it at the
negotiating table.
Will Pull Out
His formula for disengage
ment says to Hanoi: Give us a
virtual cease-fire for a while
and we will pull out, leaving it
to you and Saigon to settle your
differences.
Nixon’s hope is that Saigon
will be strong enough by then
to strike a good bargain on its
own.
But whether it is or not, the
United States will have with
drawn gradually on the as
sumption that Saigon has been
built up enough to take care of
itself.
This would enable the United
States to feel it had fulfilled its
commitment. Nixon stated in
July at Guam—and repeated
Monday night—that Asian na
tions must be able to handle
their own defense except for
massive attacks by nuclear
powers.
“I think in a sense the speech
is a clear impetus to our efforts
to bring large numbers of
people to Washington,” said
Ted Johnson, a leader of the
New Mobilization Committee to
End the War in Vietnam (New
Mobe). That group is sponsor
ing a Nov. 13-15 march on
Washington.
Dave Hawk, one of the
coordinators of the Oct. 15
Vietnam moratorium, said “I
anticipate that the reaction will
be one of dismay and the
people who were active on Oct.
15 will see the need to continue
and intensify their efforts.”
Hawk’s group is sponsoring
another moratorium Nov. 13
and 15. He said moratorium
leaders were hiping Nixon
would “make public a new
peace initiative.”
“The American people want
the war to end. It’s apparent
that the President has not
gotten that message and we
shall have to continue.”
