Sunday. February 20, 1966 V Page 4 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Sen. Kennedy Urges Viet Negotiations WASHING ION (AP) Sen. Hobert F. Kennedy, D-N. Y., urged President Johnson yes terday to invite Viet Nam ne gotiations on the basis of ac cepting some Communists in a coalition Saigon government. Callinl for limited use of U. S. military power, Kennedy said any effort to destory the "objectives and forces" of North Viet Nam probably would result in massive Chi nese intervention in the war. Ihe brother ot the late Pres ident John F. Kennedy ex pressed some reservations about the course Johnson is pursuing. He said, for exam ple, that he has such reserva tions about the resumption of the bombing of North Viet Nam because he is unsure of its limitations and object ives. Kennedy, who is not a mem ber of the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee and thus did not share in its televised hearing made his views known at a news conference. The committee wound up its public sessions Friday with an invitation from Secretary of State Dean Rusk to Congress to vote on Viet Nam policy "if there is any doubt" about it. Chairman J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., said he sees no need for further public hearings. The committee is to decide at a meeting tomorrow whether to ask Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey to appear at closed sessions. Both have declined to testify publicly. The major focus of the poli cy dispute shifts to the Senate floor tomorrow in considera tion of a $4.8-billion Viet Nam military authoritization bill. ::::::::J North Carolina News Roundup Moore" State Role Strong RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Dan Moore of North Caro lina said last night he does not feel "that the important role of the state is diminishing cr the effectiveness of state govern ment is at a minimum. . , , , 'There are encouraging signs of change in tne irenu mu philosophy of the federal government toward the states, Moore said in a prepared keynote speech to the Virginia Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner. ThP Democratic administration has shown in recent ses sion of Congress, Moore said, "that it realizes the importance of state governments and their abilities and opportunities to serve their citizens." . . He pointed to the Appalachia program in which Virgina, North Carolina rnd other states participate. Under the Appalachia program, Gov. Moore said, "The federal government has accepted state governments as full partners in the planning, as well as the operation, of this pro gram in natural resources. "Under tha unique Appalachian Regional Commission, rep resentatives of the states and the federal government work together as equals to stimulate local initiative, to resolve the complex problems of the Appalachian region and to cooperate as equals in mutually agreeable solutions. This is an encour aging sign and the Democratic Party is responsible for it." Moore said he could understand the concern of those who feel the federal government is becoming too powerful and usurping state authority "because we all realize the dangers involved in putting too much power in one central govern ment." However, he said, "federal-state relationships have chang ed drastically in recent years, as the federal government has moved more and more into areas were formerly considered reserved to the states." Moore said, "regardless of whether we approve or disap prove of the many federal aid programs, the trend is well established and new federal-state relationships are now a mat ter of fact." To serve the needs of the people, Moore said, the states must be equal partners with the federal government. "Too frequently in the past," he said, "the states have been the junior-or silent-partner in federal-state programs." The opposite approach, he said, was exemplified by the passage of the federal Public Works and Economic Develop ment Act of 1965. "This type of partnership offers, perhaps, the last chance for state governments to maintain initiative in their own af fairs. If we fail, then the trend toward Washington can do little else but continue," Moore said. White HoilseJ Which Congressman Goes? No Missies Enter Cuba WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said yesterday thee is no evidence that of fensive weapons systems have been moved into Cuba since the Soviet Union withdrew missiles from the island in 1962. Spruille Braden, a form er U. S. Ambassador to Cuba, said in Miami Friday that an organization he now heads has received word that five Soviet ships are bound for Cuba with nuclear missiles. Braden, who heads the Citi zens Committee for Free Cuba, gave no details. Commenting on Braden's statement, Press Secretary Bill D. Moyers said "We con tinue to have sources of infor mation adequate to inform us if offensive weapons systems have been reintroduced into Cuba. There is no evidence that this in fact has been done." White House that, from time Cubans receive from the So viet Union replacements for defensive surface-to-air mis siles. It was said that these weapons have a limited "shelf life" and must be replaced periodically. Moyers said American intel ligence agencies thoroughly check every report of the pres ence of offensive weapons in Cuba "as a continuing matter of high priority." GREENSBORO (AP) A decision handed down by a three-judge federal panel Friday says the North Carolina Legis lature may have to answer this long-avoided question by July 1, 1962. Which congressmen in the sparsley populated East or West must run against each other to eliminate one, so more repre sentation can be added in the more populous Piedmont? The legislature kept the congressmen in their own dis tricts for the 1966 races, but probably won't be allowed to next time around. In ruling on the reapportionment and redisricting plans passed by a special session of the General Assembly in Jan uary, the court said the lawmakers must pay more attention to compactness and contiguity in the next reapportionment plan. It gave the General Assembly until July 1, 1967 to draw it up. The court approved the General Assembly's plans for re apportioning the State Senate and House of Representatives. Since the plans throw more legislative representation to the Piedmont, the door is open for major changes in congressional districts when the issue comes up next year. The ruling by the court indicated the redistricting plan was left as it was so this year's elections can proceed as sched uled. But the ruling noted the districts are not "as nearly equal in population as practicable." The opinion said the "conceded rationale" of the legisla ture in adopting the plan was to protect incumbent congressmen. officials said Charlotte Fights Crime to time, the D "ThlC UUl CTIVO HO a Orootor rlatar-ronf fry mic tore ben mVed int7 Ca T'T t , 'T carS "fHrd said- . , since the 1962 missile crisis. main thing is to have the men there m a minute's According to one report, notlce- Tms has been one of our problems because the typical Braden was said to have pass- motorcycle and squad cars have to move sometimes through ed along his report to Presi- heavy traffic." dent Johnson.

CHARLOTTE (AP) Police Chief John Hord said yester day he is assigning a special two-man motorcycle squad to Charlotte's robbery-plagued downtown area. Hord made the announcement shortly after the fourth rob bery in 24 hours occurred. Members of the new squad will ride cycles that were made for rugged terrain and can climb curbs and be driven through gulleys and over ties along railroad beds. Each man will carry a walkie-talkie so he can keep in constant touch with headquarters. the case. IheOJditoi&i pendence Square where gunmen had robbed loan offices the two previous Fridays.

That is the conclusion of the census bu reau in its estimates of population patterns and trends during the. first half of this decade. In a new study entitled "Americans at mid-decade, " the bureau listed these as some of the charges wrhich have occurred in the nation since the last census in 1960: 1. The total population increased by about 2.8 million yearly reaching 195 million last August. 2. California replaced New York as the most populous state while Texas moved from sixth to fifth. 3. The West continued to be the fastest growing region with Nevada showing the largest percentage increase. 4. The number of women continued to increase faster than men. 5. Los Angeles replaced Chicago as the second largest metropolitan area. 6. Four more metropolitan areas reach ed a population of one million or more, raising the number of these areas to 26. The new ones are Denver, Miami, New Orleans and hold your hat Anaheim Santa Ana-Garden Grove, Calif. In fact, the bureau said, Anaheim-Ana-Garden Grove was the fastest growing metropolitan area in the nation during the first half of the decade, showing an in crease of more than 9 per cent. Another Southern California areas San Bernardino - Riverside-Ontario was sec ond with an increase of slightly less than 5 per cent and a total population of just under one million. The Washington, D. C, area was third with a growth rate of just under 4 per cent. The government now lists the two Cali fornia areas as separate metropolitan dis tricts rather than combining them with the already sprawling Los Angeles area which itself had an estimated population at mid decade of 6.7 million. New York continued by far as the larg est metropolitan area with an estimated population at mid-decade of more than 11.3 million and a growth rate of slightly under 2 per cent. CANBERRA, Australia (AP) "The first time you retreat" before communist aggression, Vice President Hubert H. Hum phrey declared yesterday "the tirst time you fold up your tents, on that day no one will ever believe in free men again." Speaking at a luncheon at which Prime Minister Harold Holt of Australia was host, the U. S. traveling Vice Pres ident also declared that he felt every Anti - Communist nation should be represented in Viet Nam, even by as small a presence as a single doctor. If there is such a symbolic presence showing unity, he added, "the Communist jug gernaut will be halted." During the day, Holt an nounced tne Australian gov ernment is "actively" consid ering increasing the number of its troops in Viet Nam. He made the statement at a joint news conference with Humph rey after the Vice President met his first hostile recep tion in a 21,000-mile journey that has taken him to six countries. He moves on to New Zealand today. Holt said the matter of more Australian troops for the Viet Nam war is "actively under consideration," but that no conclusions have been reach ed yet. "We have been considering for some time what more Australia can do in Viet Nam," Holt said. "We hope to an nounce soon what Australia can do to supplement our present forces in South Viet Nam." Both Humphrey and Holt denied Humphrey put any pressure on Australia, but it was obvious the troop situa tion was a prime topic in i their nearly three-hour discus : sion at Paliament House. At : present, Australia has about : 1,500 men in the Viet Nam : field, most of them in a bat : talion of infantry which has : seen considerable action I against the Communists. : A b o u t 150 demonstrators Symington Urges Lifting Of Bombing Restrictions Mw x ip? - Sen. Stuart Symington WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., urged last night the elimina tion of target restrictions vvhich he said are making U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam largely ineffective. He said U. S. pilots should be permitted to strike "such military targets as power plants, oil stores, docks, etc." Reporting on a recent 10-day trip to Viet Nam battle areas, Symington indicated his belief skilled American pilots and costly warplanes should not be risked on targets limited to bridges, highways, railroads and supply trails a pattern the administration has been following to lessen the danger of escalatirg the war by in flicting heavy civilian casual ties. Symington told of discussing the current bombing rules with the leaders of the U. S. 2nd Air Division at Tan Son Nhut and said these include "almost unbelievable target restric tions." The Missourian is a former Secretary of the Air Force and a long-time advocate of great er use of air power in the Viet Nam war. OPERA LOVERS :"' 11 V; K.

C." one said "Humphrey was crimi nal." Police said the demonstra tors were a combination of leftist students, left wing la bor union leaders, pacifist and anti-conscription mothers. The crowd appeared in good humor at first but turned ugly when Humphrey appeared with Holt. It surged forward, some in the crowd yelling "warmong er," others shouting "we want peace." Police and security officers quickly moved in, and none reached Humphrey before he . got into his car. There were no arrests, police said. The pickets straggled behind Hum phrey's motorcade toward a nearby hotel where the lunch eon was held. But they were held firmly several hundred yards from the hotel and dwindled away. The atmosphere at the lunch eon was in sharp contrast to the demonstration. Humphrey hailed the Autralians as "com rades in war and comrades in peace." Holt said he was "grateful for the firmness of purpose" shown by President Johnson in Viet Nam. Humphrey appeared unruf fled by the demonstration, tel ing laughing listeners the thought that passed through his mind during the hubbub was: "What the Prime Minister will do to make me feel at home." Without referring to the dem onstration Holt said, "I believe you will find support in this country as strong as anywhere in the world" for U. S. Policy on Southeast Asia and Viet Nam. The Vice President said he feels "restrained optimism" as a result of his tour so far. He has three nations to visit be fore returning to Washington. In addition to New Zealand he will stop in the Phillippines and South Korea. it-kit Marines Seek Viet Cong NOW PLAYING WItK SOMEthiWG ZQ OFFEDJD EVERYONE ! SAIGON (AP) Helicopters poured thousands of U. S. Ma rines into battle array yester day against Viet Cong in the Phuoc Valley, 350 miles north east of Saigon. Striking through light sniper fire, they hunted the enemy's hard-core 1st regiment. U. S. Navy fighter-bombers flew in support of the Marines. They streamed in from the carrier Valley Forge in the South China Sea. U. S. B52 jets carried the war to the Viet Cong on the other side of the country. They attacked points only two miles from the Cambodian frontier with a 6ne-two punch and a new fusing device in tended to let bombs bore deep into enemy tunnels before they explode. Communist gunners shot down three aircraft in other sectors. STUDENT SPECIAL Two American helicopters were felled during fresh oper ations of - the U.
