expectation to await a message
from Christ from Dr. C. M.
Ward, nationally known radio
evangelist.
He is conducting a city-wide
revival this week at the
stadium. Services begin each
night at 8 o’clock and will
continue through Sunday night.
The preacher directed the
attention of the audience to the
fact that there are moral
leaders and heroes in every
community.
There are people in every
walk of life who decide to be
counted for righteousness, he
said.
He said this implies three
things:
—First it must involve per
sonal choices.
—Second, there must be the
knowledge that some are living
as you are living, with identical
circumstances and already
have made the choice, and are
setting the example.
—Third, such a person will
never walk alone; that person
will have a divine assistance all
the way.
The preacher took his text
from Rev. 3:4 for the youth
night topic.
Several young people came to
the platform at the stadium to
give their personal testimony.
Cam Bonifay, place kicker
with the Georgia Tech football
team, was a special guest. He
gave his personal testimony at
the beginning of the service.
Dr. Ward’s sermon topic
tonight will be “Rejects.”

these positions during the time
he was in Paris.
Lodge said he did not believe
the withdrawal of Vietnamese
troops north of the Demilita
rized Zone in October, 1968,
could be interpreted as any
kind of signal.
“Grasping at Straws”
In 1969, the U.S. government
was “grasping at straws”
looking for any possible avenue
to extricate the nation from the
Vietnam War, Lodge said. Any
indication there was such a
possibility—from Shriver or
anyone else—would have been
relayed immediately to Pres
ident Nixon.
Lodge credited Cyrus Vance,
deputy negotiator, with being
“helpful” to him. But he said
Vance gave no indication of any

shift in the North Vietnamese
position.
said the U.S. position
was to have mutual withdrawal
by both powers, an internation
ally supervised cease fire and
internationally supervised elec
tions.
“We informed the North
Vietnamese that if Communists
were elected, we would abide
by the results.”
It is a fallacy to believe the
United States could make South
Vietnam do anything the United
States wanted, Lodge said.
“The fact is our power was
very much overestimated,” he
said. “The thought was then
and is now that all we had to
do was press a button. It was
not true, nor could it have been
true in 1969.”

TASTY FROGS
LA PAZ, Bolivia (UPI)—
Tests on a new species of 20-
inch-wide frogs found on the
bottom of Lake Titicaca show
them to be “very tasty,”
according to the state develop
ment agency (CBF).
A French scientific mission,
investigating the lake bottom
under agreements with the
Bolivian and Peruvian govern
ments, found the hitherto
unknown frog by the thousands,
CBF said. Spotting a potential
seller, the CBF canned some as
an experiment.
Eighty per cent of the
persons who ate the new
product in a test liked them,
CBF said.

pal among them was the North
Vietnamese withdrawal of “22
regiments out of 25” from the
northern two provinces of South
Vietnam.
What was more, Harriman
said, “We had our discussions,
we had our understandings
which made it possible for
President Johnson to stop the
bombing. We had many private
talks, none of which have been
discussed publicly and I don’t
intend to do it now.”
The beginning of formal talks
was delayed at least two
months—from October, 1968
until about two days before
Nixon’s inauguration—first by
Thieu’s refusal to participate,
then by the issue of the shape
of the table.
Thieu Rejects Secret Talks
On January 29, 1969, Thieu
stated he would refuse to
engage in secret talks with the
National Liberation Front (Viet
Cong). He changed his mind
and agreed to such talks two
months later, but Harriman
said it was by then too late; the
Communists would no longer
talk to Thieu.
