Communist En voy s Launch Personal Attackjon Nixon PARIS , —Communist ne gotiators unleashed uu unprec?"" dented personal attack on President Richard M. Nixon Thursday on/ the eve of his arrival in Paris. They den ounced his idministration as '"more perfidious" than that of former President Lyndon B Johnson. Viet Cong and 1 Hanoi delegates made the attack after U.S. chief negotiator Henry Cabot Lodge denounced the new Communist offensive in Vietnam and said it cast serious doubts on the Communists' professed good faith at the Vietnam conference table. Dropping all diplomatic nice ties, the Communist delegates let loose against Nixon for the first time since he was elected last November. The bitter exchange took place at Thurs day's sixth session of the Vietnam peace conference and left a cloud of gloom over Nixon's impending visit. The Communist tone was set by Xuan Thuy, Hanoi's chief bargainer. He charged the Nixon administration with being "more stubborn and perfidious than the one" of Johnson. Tran Buu Kiem, the Viet Cong National Liberation Front (NLF) shadow "foreign minis ter", said "the Nixon govern ment has not only followed the road chartered by the Johnson administration, but it has intensified the war of aggres sion against the South Vietna mese population, obstinately pursued a neo-colonialist policy, "and is harboring the illusion of winning a position of strength on the battlefield and at the conference table." Kiem, a former guerrilla fighter, said Nixon has hidden Helpful Tax Booklet Now Available Greensboro—"Your Federal Income Tax," a 100-page book let on Federal taxes, written in layman's language, is now available at most Internal Revenue Service offices throughout North Carolina, according to J. K. Wall, Dis trict Director of Internal Rev enue. The booklet, also known as Publication 17, covers in de tail the Federal income tax laws as they apply to individ uals. It contains many exam ples to illustrate how the laws apply to actual situations. Wall said the material is especially helpful to taxpayers who have unusual tax situa tions, or for those faced with a new tax problem. Examples of taxable and non-taxable income and of al lowable and nonallowable de ductions are included. A de tailed index helps pinpoint answers to tax problems. A special feature in the booklet is the sample, filled-in tax return, Form 1040, keyed to pages in the booklet where explanations can be found for the entries on the return. The booklet may also be ob tained from the Superintend ent of Documents, U. 5.,, Gov ernment Pr i n ting Office, Washington, D. C. 20402, at 60 cents a copy.

Try this VeletiWe Butter Sauce or the Sweet-Sour Beets, both made of peace, but that "the inaugura tion statement and press conferences of Mr. Nixon have clearly shown the dark and vile designs of his government." Lodge opened his statement stating "today's meeting is overshadowed by the tragedy created by the indiscriminate attacks against population cen ters which have occurred in South Vietnam. "Helpless civilians—including women and children—have been killed and maimed," Lodge said. "These people have done no tfrong. Yet they are the victims of your wanton violence," he Governors in Poll Cheer Tobacco Tax WASHINGTON - Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York thinks a tobacco tax for North Carolina "is just great." And Gov. Robert McNair of South Carolina believes tobacco taxes are "one of the best ways to raise revenue . . . They don't affect too many people and have no impact on tobacco growers at all." These were typical answers of governors when asked their at titudes about Scott's proposal for North Carolina to join the other 49 states and impose taxes on smokes. Rocky Likes Idea "I think it is the finest thing he can do. It is very courageous," Rockefeller said. "We have been working hard to find money in New York for our services, and we have been los ing revenue because of cigarette bootlegging." Rockefeller was referring to the traffic between North Carolina and his state in low cost Tar Heel cigarettes smug gled past New York state and local taxes. Six Tar Heels Die in Vietnam WASHINGTON - The Pentagon issued a casualty list Thursday identifying several North Carolina servicemen who have died in Vietnam. Listed as killed in action were: Army Spec. 4 Steven J. Pa sula, son of Mr. and Mrs. An toni Pasula of 110 Franklin St . Belmont; Pfc. Georpe L. Davis Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. George L.

"The consequences of these attacks are your responsibility," he said, "they clearly raise a question as to your Ride's true desire to work towards a peaceful settlement of this conflict." Lodge did not specify what these consequences might be. The veteran American diplo mat, who will hold intensive consultations with Nixon Sun day, renewed U.S. proposals for an agreement on the restoration of the Demilitarized Zone, the mutual withdrawal of foreign troops and prisoner exchanges. an increase in South Carolina's cigarette tax because he had found it a quick and relatively painless way to get extra state dollars. He said he didn't think such taxes had any adverse im pact on growers. "As long as the tax is not too high, you aren't going to stop people from smoking by putting taxes on them," he said. Governor Scott himself, mov ing among colleagues here at his first national governors con ference meeting, was urging them to reduce cigarette tax es. But the suggestion was getting few takers. Nearly all the governors were groaning that they needed more money, not less. In that regard, Scott was among sympathetic peers. Governor McNair said he thought Scott had "done the right thing if he needs the money." I McNair said he had proposed The Inno Huddle The Explos GIA KIEN, Vietnam She was 20 pounds of frightened little girl bundled up in a dirty white dress. She whimpered and tears stream ed down her face. Crouched amidst the Viet namese rangers awaiting to go into action, her red-rimmed eyes wide with fear, her clothes soiled, she was a heart-rending example of how the innocent are swept into war. Yet in the cruel vocahulary of the Vietnam war, this little girl was lucky. Half a dozen like her were not. She was first noticed during a lull in the relentless helicopter rocketing Thursday of this hamlet at the edge of Bien Hoa City. It was hard to believe that anything was left alive in Gia Kien at this point, much less a tiny girl. Rockets from scores of U. S. helicopters had been slamming through 100 new Bills Offer Up-to-Date Constitution Adoption of an updated version of the North Carolina Constitution was proposed Thursday in legislation in troduced in the General Assembly. Drafted by a special Statewide commission, the revised Con stitution will be presented to the voters if approved by the Assembly. Identical 61-page bills em bodying a recommendation made in December by"the State Constitution Study Commission were filed House and introduced by the / etfairmen of the House and Senate Committees on Con- Amendments, Rep. Ike Andrews (D-Chatham) and Sen. Julian Allsbrook CD- Halifax). The proposed new Constituion is primarily an editorial un > dertaking to remove archaic language and provisions, although it does contain what the study commission described as "some modest amendments." Some Changes It would make the lieutenant governor a member of the Coun cil of State; prohibit the exlusion of anyone from jury service on account of sex, race, religion and national origin; and deny suffrage and office to persons convicted of felonies against the United States or any other state. The present suffrage section ap plies only to felonies committed against the State of North Carolina. The proposal adds "freedom of speech" to "freedom of the press" as rights not to be restrained. Invalidated racial provisions are eliminated including the "Pearsall Amendment" inserted in 1957 to skirt the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling outlaw ing segregation in the public schools. The State Constitution Study Commission also recommended nine stand-alone amendments to the Constitution in addition to the proposed rewrite of the en tire document. Some of the nine are con sidered to be highly con troversial, including proposals which would give the Governor the veto power and allow him to succeed himself in office. Senate Chairman Allsbrook, although introducing the rewrite bill, has said he does not support some of the other recommendations and will not introduce bills to carry them out. The study commission said its work "will have been justified" if only the rewritten version of the Constitution is adopted. House Chairman Andrews said all of the recommendations will be introduced in bill form. "I am not prepared, however, to say how I personally will vote on them," he said. refugee housing units, finished just one week earlier for peo ple made homeless by the Tet offensive a year ago. By midafterneon the estimated 100 North Viet namese troops who had sneak ed into the hamelt before dawn had been whittled to a handful. Many were killed in the holocaust. Others staggered out during the rocketing, bleeding from the mouth and nose, stumbling forward with their weapons held high in sur render. The Vietnamese corps com mander had ordered in napalm strikes to obliterate the remaining opposition. Then the little girl appeared. She was trying to get away from the inferno of the houses behind her. She tried to crawl over a barbed wire fence and the spikes snagged her dress. She seemed to be flailing in the air. None of the Vietnamese rangers moved. That was a no man s land down there. The girl could be a decoy set up by desperate enemy soldiers. A big man pushed past an armored troop carrier. He began running toward the burning hamlet 150 yards away. "Hey Harry," he called back to Sgt. Maj. Harry Sand ers. "Cover me. I'm going to to get her." Then Maj. Robin Luketina, a 33-year-old veteran of four Vietnam tours, gathered up speed despite his steel helmet and heavy flak vest. He reach ed the barbed wire, plucked the girl into his arms, and stumbled back up the road. Sanders had seen another girl slip out of a bombed house. He grasped her in his arms and sped to safety. The napalm came in soon after. About 20 canisters splashed across the scarred face of Gia Kien from U. S. Air Force planes and Viet namese bombers. Before this, the soldiers had wheeled a loud-speaker truck within 100 yards of the village to appeal for any civilians left inside to come out. But time was running short. The North Vietnamese had to be killed before darkness permitted them to slip away. Some civilians d'dn't make it. 2 Wallace Men Abandon GOP GREENVILLE - Two members of the State ex ecutive committee of the North Carolina Republican party an nounced Thursday a fortnal switch in registration to the American party. The men, Steve Conger of Weldon and Dr. R. Thornton Hood Jr. of Kinston, had sup ported American party presi dential candidate George Wal lace last fall without quitting the Republican party. Walter Green of Burlington, State American party interim chairman, said at a ceremony at which the switches were an nounced that they were "anoth er step forward" for the party in North Carolina.

PHONE 6tt.UU Science in the News Should You Limit Low-Calorie Drinks? Those artificially-sweet ened soft drinks continue to gladden the hearts of calorie-dodging dieters. To day one bottle out of ten of soda pop is a "diet drink." But some nagging ques tions about the most widely used synthetic sweeteners are still bothering public health specialists and keep ing their laboratories busy. What the scientists are try ing to find out is not only "What's the limit?" butalso "How safe are they?" Almost all low-calorie soft drinks and diet foods are sweetened with cycla mate, an artificial sweeten er in use since the early 1950'5. A study by the Na tional Academy of Sciences- National Research Council, released in December, warned that totally unre stricted use of these chemi ca'ls was not a good idea. The report asked for more research. It also said that cyclamate intake of five grams a day (less than one fifth of an ouncel, should present no hazard to adults. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is not sure that five grams of cy clamate a day is a prudent dose. Safe Intake So until new studies of artificial sweeteners are completed, the FDA counsels that safe intake should be based on body weight. Daily consumption, it recommends, should be limited to .07 grams for every 2.2 pounds of a person's weight. According to these figures, an individual weighing 120 pounds should limit himself to less than three 12- ounce bottles of diet drinks a day. A 60-pound child Arnold an active member of the Youth church. should not be permitted more than IJ4 bottles a day. The 180-pounder's daily cy clamate limit would be 4.05 grams—the amount of sweet ener in four bottles of diet drinks.Dieters who also use diet foods, and sweeteners on grapefruit or in coffee, would have to take the ad ditional ration into account, and cut down on their total. In a study to be issued later this year, the NAS is expected to report on a number of adverse effects that have been attributed to cyclamate. One of these is the finding by a Food and Drug Administration team, as well as other scientists, that a cyclamate by-product in the body may impair hu man genes. 75% Less Effective A research group at the University of Michigan found that cyclamate cuts down the effectiveness of an an tibiotic drug, commonly pre scribed for children, by as much as 75%. Another sci entist has discovered that cola drinks boost the a mount of free fatty acids in the blood. When the drinks are sweetened with cycla mate, the increase in the fatty acids takes place steadily; sugar seems to delay this undesirable ef fect for several hours. Waistline-watchers are not going to enjoy cutting down on their one-calorie-to-the bottle refreshments. But fewer diet drinks shouldn't work any hardship on most adults or on active, on-the go youngsters. For them, there's always "regular" soft drinks—sugar, sweet ness, energy and all. And no question marks.
