4B —IBS CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1971 Thieu Establishes Himself As Astute Powerful Politician SAIGON lf President Nguyen Van Thieu wins a "vote of confidence" from South Viet nam's voters, as he appears certain to, it will confirm what observers here have believed for months. That he is the country's most astute and pow erful politician since Ngo Oinh Diem. A colonel and army division commander. Thieu was a per ipheral figure in the 1963 coup which overthrew Diem. Al though Thieu agreed to partici pate in the coup, he did not or der his troops to move on Sai gon until he was certain the coup would be successful. Thieu was sufficiently as tute—and sufficiently aloof—to survive several subsequent coups. Between 1963 and 1965 he was promoted from colonel to lieutenant general, and in 1965 became chief of state un der a junta headed by Air Vice Marshal and Premier Nguyen! Cao Kv In 1967, Thieu successfully outmaneuvered Ky and elimi nated him from the presidential race even before the campaign began. When both Ky and retired Gen. Duong Van "Big" Minh withdrew from this year's race, however, Thieu became the Missing Diplomat Was in f Voluntary Seclusion' CARACAS - Police found the missing Dominican Republic consul-general, Mrs. Thclma Frias de Rodriguez, originally reported as kidnaped, early Sunday in an apartment where they said she had been in "voluntary seclusion'' since disappearing four days ago. / Remberto Uzcategui. director of Venezuela's, intelligence po lice, told a rtews conference that because of Mrs. Frias' diplomatic status he was unable to comment on whether she had faked her kidnaping.

His uncontested candidacy caused the gravest political crisis of his career, uniting his enemies and giving rise to vio lent street demonstrations. Theiu, however, survived. He either suprcssed or ignored his critics, and spurned efforts by the Nixon administration and U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker to maintain an image Bunker to maintain an image of a more democratic election. During his four-year term, he has weathered crisis after crisis, crushing or reaching agree ments with Ky supporters, Buddhists, students, disabled veterans and opposition legisla tors. However, his tactics, viewed by some critics as often heavy handed, have alienated many South Vietnamese, leading to comparisons of his career with Diem's. Despite four years in office, Theiu remains an enigma. His private life, associates and be hind-the-scenes manipulation of power remain cloaked in ob scurity. In public he is calcu Dominican Ambassador Ra fael Bonilla Aybar. who made the announcement of her discovery, said possibly a Dominican group had been involved in her disappearance. "The information I have, true, is that there are others involved," he said. "It looks like she had hidden there." The apartment house where she was found is located about five miles from where she was last seen and she presumably left her home to make a bank deposit. The last person who reported seeing her was Castellanos. He said he found a ransom note under the door of the combined consul-apartment when he re turned. Castellanos telephoned the vice-consul in Santo Domingo, Papers Say Rumors ? Jelped Spark Revolt V£W YORK -The ,mr-day rebellion at Attica Slate Prison was sparked by a misunderstanding by a prison guard who thought inmates were scuffling instead of olaying a game of touch football, according to the New York Times.

Williams, who was in charge of the assault on Attica on Moreiay, Sept. 13, gave the following order over his walkie talkie: "Move in! Move in! The drop (of teargas cannis tcrs) has been made." The News said that available evidence gives no indication the troopers ever were ordered to fire their weapons. Both newspapers said a series of misunderstandings resulted in erroneous rumors that were quickly accepted by prison guards, state troopers, prison officials and even high state officials. Many of these rumors later were issued to newsmen as matters of fact and were reported in the news BRUNSON'S Heme of Quality Products ZENITH DUNLOP TIRES MAGNA VOX FIRESTONE TIRES NORGE DELCO BATTERIES TAPPAN SEAT COVERS FEDDERS BRAKE SERVICE KrrCHEKAID ALIGNMENT Easy Terms "W1 FINANCE OUR OWN ACCOUNTS" We Service What We Sell lated, deliberate, almost wood en. He is literally a mystery man to all but a handful of in timates. His private habits arc little known, although it appears that Thieu, once a tennis player, now prefers fishing and swim ming during secluded weekends at the beach in Vung Tau. Son of a commercial fish erman, n>eiu was born 48 years ago in a tiny fishing vil lage in Ninh Thuan province on the central coast. One of his boyhood friends is now a North Vietnamese gener al, and a sister—married to a rice and vegetable farmer—still lives in the Thieu family home. His wife, Nguyen Thi Mai Anh, comes from a wealthy family in the Mekong Delta city of My Tho. They have two chil dren. A succession of Thieu's rela tives have turned up in impor tant government positions. One brother is South Viet nam's ambassador to Italy. An other, Nguyen Van Kiec, is am bassador to Taiwan but was re called Sept. 1 to serve as Thieu's chief political adviser during the campaign. where he was visiting, and Frias advised the police of his mother's disappearance when he got back to Caracas. He said he received a telephone call at 7 a.m. Thursday which led him to a telephone booth where he found a second note asking for the ransom of $1 million. The second ransom note was the last contact the supposed kidnapers made with the family. Police said that the terrorist group taking credit for the kidnaping had been disbanded and had been inac tive for a long time. Bonilla, shortly after Mrs. Frias' disappearance, said ihat if she had been kidnaped it was the work of supporters of Bosch who want to embarass the government of President Joaquin Balaguer and help bring Bosch back to power. media. Wrong Rumor For example, a rumor that a guard had been emasculated was widely circulated but later was proved false. The News reported that a prison chaplain, Rabbi Daniel Kerman, entered the prison at 4 p.m. on the day of the assault and asked a guard what had happened. The News reported that Kerman was told by the guard he had just seen a prisoner who had been emasculated. The rumor later was changed, incorrectly, to guard. The origin of the rumor that hostages had had their throats slashed was attributed by the News report to a gesture by state corrections commissioner Russell G. Oswald who, when asked how the hostages died, drew his finger across his throat and said, "I understand their (the hostages') throats were slashed." It later was discovered the hostages died from state trooper gunfire. Closing Door The source of the rumor about Quinn's death was not pinpointed by the Times, but the newspaper said he frac tured his skull while trying to close a manually operated cell door. Quinn was taken to a Rochester Hospital where he died of cardiac arrest. The Times also reported that the citizen observer committee talked by telephone with Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller for 40 minutes Sunday afternoon, beg ging for more time to negotiate. But, the Times reported. Rockefeller insisted on taking literally the prison er's statement that a demand for amnesty was non-negotiable H * *■ i V ' H B^s. ■ f ■P" «r V P" » K lb : .9 (Ik . %'m ) ,adfl \ Bn Jk ? : «bH illfif / f'^E^fl :!f?Vlk'.;/ /if: Afl /^^ShSPIOIBw/ Ji 1 DISCUSS BAR ASSOCIATION—U.S. Judge William Ilnstie (left), is shown discussing the newly formed National Bar Association Judicial Council with Attorney Donald L.

Medical Cost Control Is Planned WASHINGTON The secretary of Health, Education and Welfare said Sunday the Nixon administration plans to include controls on hospital and doctors' costs in Phase 2 of the new economic program. Secretary Elliot L. Richard son said since Nixon announced his program Aug. IS to stem In flation and unemployment, the department has been working with the Cost of Living Council on sanctions for after th' wafe price freeze ends. "Because the very rapid rate these costs have been rising year after year, we do intend to include specific measures to deal with them," Rchardsoin sad. He gave no specifics. Richardson made his com ments on the NBC radio-tele vision program "Meet the Press." Richardson said also the Nix on administration in addition may send a proposal to Con gress supplementing the Pres dent's health-insurance bills to deal with costs and quality of medical services. Richardson said since the ad ministration has "proposed to mandate health insurance cov erage for all families and all workers,... that we should also hold out assurances that cost and quality of medical care are going to be pro tected."
