Johnson
Burning
NEW YORK (AP) Presi
dent Johnson said last night
in a new reply to critics of his
Viet Nam policy, that the Unit
ed States is not caught up in
a blind escalation of force
leading toward a wider war.
Johnson, in an address pre
pared for a freedom house
dinner, said a number of ques
tions he listed ten still
are being asked in the wake
of public hearings on Viet Nam
by the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee. He did not
mention the Committee but his
reference to it and "our
commitment to free discuss
ion" was obvious.
First, Johnson said, some
ask if this is a war for unlimit
ed objectives.
Declaring that the answer is
"no," he said:
"Our purpose in Viet Nam
is to prevent the success of
aggression. It is not conquest;
it is not empire; it is not for
eign bases; it is not domina
tion." Preventive War
In short, he went on, it is
"to prevent the forceful con
quest of South Viet Nam by
North Viet Nam."
Then, with these words, he
dealt with the question of es
calation: "Second, some ask if we are
caught in a blind escalation of
force that is pulling us head
long into a ider war that no
one wants. The answer
again is no. We are using
that force and only that
force necessary to stop the
aggression."
Johnson asserted that, with
increased numbers of Ameri
can troops in Viet Nam, "the
high hopes of the aggressor
have been dimmed, and the
tide of battle has turned."
The President gave this
pledge:

Answers
Questions
"Our measured use of force
must be continued. But this is
prudent firmness under care
ful control. There is not, and
ther will not be, a mindless
escalation."
Another question which
some ask, he said, is whether
the United States is risking a
wider war perhaps with
Communist China.
Peiping Directed
"And again the answer is
"No,"' he said, "never by
any act of ours and not if
there is any reason left behind
the wild words from Peiping."
Apparently directing his
words to Peiping, Johnson said
the United States has threat
ened no one, has sought the
end of no regime and will
not in the future.
Johnson discussed, too, the
much - debated question of the
kind of government South Viet
Nam will have in the future.
He said:
"Washington will not impose
upon the people of South Viet
Nam a government not of their
choice. Hanoi shall not impose
upon the people of South Viet
Nam a government not of their
choice.
"We will insist for ourselves
on what we required from Ha
noi: "Respect for the princi
ple of government by consent
of the governed. We stand for
self - determination for free
elections and we will honor
their result."
Seeking Peace
Johnson said also the Unit
ed States is not neglecting
"any hopeful chance of peace."
He said American peace-seekers
will continue their efforts
undiscouraged.
The Chief Executive said he
could not answer another ques
tion "How long we must
bear this burden." He said:
"If the faggressor persists in
Viet Nam, the struggle may
be long. Our men in battle
know and accept this hard fact.
We who are at home can do
as much." He said peace will
"come only to the steadfast
never to the weak in heart."

British Make Peace Move;
Contact North Viet Nam
MOSCOW (AP) Prime Minister Harold Wilson's
government made direct contact with Communist
North Viet Nam yesterday after Soviet leaders re
fused to join Britain in promoting a parley.
On Wilson's orders, Lord Chalfont called on Lee
Chang, acting head of Hanoi's diplomatic mission
here, for a talk on possible moves to end the Viet
Nam war. Chalfont is Britain's disarmament minis
ter. He accompanied Wilson on his trip to Moscow.
British sources reported Chalfont and Lee spent
much of the afternoon together. It was the first time
a British minister had engaged in direct exchanges
with an accredited represen
tative of President Ho Chi
Minh's government since
large scale fighting flared in
Viet Nam one year ago.
Few details emerged beyond
the fact that both Lee and
Chalfont described at length
the conflicting east-west ap
proaches vto peacemaking. : -
Wilson was protrayed as de
tecting a glimmer of light in
the situation. He was encour
aged that Lee had been author
ized by Hanoi to meet Chal
font at all.
He has hope the meeting,
which had the foreknowledge
of Premier Alexei N. Kosygin,
may be the start of a dialogue
that could lead to better things.
Doubtless Wilson feels the Brit
ish public, and left wingers
within his own Labor party,
will appreciate his quest for
peace.
To some extent Lee's recep
tion of Chalfont was a welcome
development for Wilson, for he
had got just about nowhere in
his attempts to persuade Ko
sygin and his top colleagues
to join with Britain in recon
vening parties to the Geneva
conference of 1954 to act as a
forum for peace.
Kosygin, President Nikolai
V. Podgorny and Communist
Party Chief Leonid I. Brezh
nev met Wilson's repeated
pleas for cooperation with the
argument that the Soviet Un
ion has netither a direct stand
ing in the crisis nor the right
to intervene.
When Wilson sought to as
sure them of President John
son's sincere wish for peace in
Viet Nam, the. Soviet leaders
suggested the Americans
should prove this by halting
air raids against the North.

McNamara Paints
Dreary Picture
WASHINGTON (AP) Se
cretary of Defense Robert S.
McNamara told Congress yes
terday the United States stands
ready to cope with any Com
munist escalation of the war
in Viet Nam.
He said a wider war in
Southeast Asia would force a
callup of U. S. reserve forces.
And he reported a continu
ing buildup of Viet Cong and
North Vietnamese forces in the
embattled South.
In the Senate, Republican
Leader Everett M. Dirksen of
Illinois told critics of Presi
dent Johnson's Vietnamese po
licy that the war could be lost
by delay and dissension in
Washington.
Democratic Congressional
leaders conferred with John
son, then said the nation should
close ranks behind the admin
istration and American fight
ing men in Viet Nam.
McNamara, in a book-length
report on U. S.

Labor Truce

MIAMI BEACH, (AP) A
grumpy .truce of, silence settl
ed over AFL-CIO president":
George Meany's political fight
with President Johnson yester
day. But maritime unions
gave the White House 'new
worries by threatening at any
moment to boycott ships of ;
U. S. allies dealing with North
Viet Nam.
Meany curtly refused com
ment on statements of Secre
tary of Labor W .Willard Wirtz
that AFL-CIO "antagonism"
could hurt labor's own goals
in Congress, and that Johnson
won't bargain politically with
union leaders.
"We're not begging any
body," said a surce close to
Meany, but Meany and Wirtz
ducked newsmen's questions
after Tuesday's clash.
AFL-CIO political strategists
said they would step up their
political action in this year's
Congressional and state elec
tions "independent of any par
ty." In Washington, White House
spokesman Bill D. Moyers
said:
"I think the President and
Mr. Meany get along very well
together," and "I'm sure the
President will meet again with
Meany at the first opportun
ity." Tuesday's squabble was ov
er how much of a minimum
wage increase Johnson will
propose to Congress.

"The issue has been joined
and our course has been set.
It is my hope that all Ameri
cans will throw their full sup
port behind our military forc
es defending the frontier of
freedom in Viet Nam."
McNamara handed his 220
page public report to the Sen
ate Armed Services and Ap
propriations Committee, then
spent two hours discussing the
defense picture behind closed
doors.
"In view of the continued
buildup of Viet Cong and North
Vietnamese forces in South
Viet Nam, we now believe we
should be prepared to deploy
promptly additional forces to
that area if required," McNa
mara reported. President John
son has stated categorically
that we will give our comman
ders in Viet Nam all the re
sources they need to carry out
their mission."
Reds Building
Outside the hearing room,
McNamara said the Commun
ists are building their troop
strength because American and
South Vietnamese forces are
inflicting heavy casulaties up
on them.
"That argues against a lim
it on our forces there," Mc
Namara declared.
The defense Secretary said
the United States does not want
to widen the conflict in South
east Asia but he added:
". . . We cannot preclude
the possibility that our oppon
ents will nevertheless choose
to do so. Such a contingency
would necessitate at least a
partial mobilization, including
the call-up of some or all of
our reserve forces and the ex
tension of active duty tours."
Senate Debates
While the Senate debated a
$4.8 billion spending bill to
help pay the cost of war, Mc
Namara added his chapter to
the administration case for the
course Johnson is following.
"If we and our free world
allies fail to meet the Chin
ese Communists' challenge in
Southeast Asia," he said, "we
will inevitably have to confront
it later under even more dis
advantageous circumstances."
He said the United States is
determined to fight as long
and as hard as it must to turn
back the Communists.
Help Vietnamese
"As for our own commit
ment to the people of South
Viet Nam," McNamara said,
"we have made it clear from
the very beginning that we
would do everything necessary
to help them defend their free
dom and independence as long
as they were willing to carry
on the sturggle. . .
"We are prepared to con
tinue our military collabora
tion with the South Vietnamese
forces as long as the Com
munists insist on fighting," he
said, "and we are ready to
cope with any further escala
tion of the conflict on their
part."
Interest Increase
Aids Bondholders
United States Savings Bonds
are now a more attractive in
vestment than ever before,
J. T. Gobbel, Volunteer Chair
man of the Savings Bonds
Program in Orange County,
said in commenting on the in
crease in interest paid on Se
ries E and H Bonds.
Mr. Gobbell pointed out that
the new rate of 4.15 per cent
applies from December 1, 1965,
to all Savings Bonds, old and
new, and will automatically
increase their earnings.

Bus In Auto Inspection
RALEIGH (AP) Gov. Dan Moore said yesterday he ex
pects "some bugs" in the new anto insnertion nropram but.
"Those
inspection stations that
moved.
"We're going to follow up on complaints in the program,"
Moore told the Associated Press in an interview. "I think we'll
have some bugs in the program for awhile, but these will
work out in time."
The governor was commenting on reports from Charlotte
of careless, faulty or incomplete auto inspections.
The alleged irregularities by some inspection stations were
brought to light by the Charlotte Observer.
R. B. Parker, administrator of the inspection program for
the North Carolina Motor Vehicles Department, went to Char
lotte and launched an investigation into the charges.
Motor vehicle inspection was strongly advocated by Moore
as a means of "making the public more highway safety con
scious." The inspection program, he said, "fits in with our entire
safety program. I can't think of anything more important than
saving lives on highways."
Moore was reminded that the late Gov. W. Kerr Scott is
remembered for his work in behalf of secondary roads. For
mer Gov. Luther Hodge was identified with industrial develop
ment expansion and former Gov. Terry Sanford worked diligent
ly to improve education.
"I would like to be identified as having done a lot for
highway safety," Moore said.
In the coming months, the governor added, "We hope to
create a serious climate designed to get down to the driver
and make him more aware of the need for highway safety."
The former Superior Court judge pointed out that through
the auto inspection program the state hopes to correct unsafe
motor vehicles.
Noting that much stress had been put so far on inspection
of auto headlights, Moore indicated this could be an import
ant factor in curbing nighttime accidents.
Pearsall Plan Criticized
CHARLOTTE (AP) William Medford, who 10 years ago
helped formulate North Crolina's Pearsall Plan to prevent in
tegration, appeared before a three-judge federal court yester
day and said the school law package is unconstitutional.
The court took the suit under advisement and did not in
dicate when it would rule.
Medford, now U. S. district attorney for Western North
Carolina, was a state senator in 1956 when a legislative com
mittee led by Thomas Pearsall of Rocky Mount wrote a group
of laws designed to allow individuals, or whole communities,
to escape mandatory school desegregation.
The suit, filed last December by three Charlotte Negro
families, initially challenged the state's tuition grants law, un
der which payments are made to private school pupils who
wish to avoid desegregation.
When the Justice Department entered the case it sought to
have other provisions of the Pearsall Plan. They are:
A local option plan which would allow local school
boards or voters to close their schools to avoid desegregation.
A pupil would be exempt from compulsory attendance
laws if his parents withdrew him from school to avoid de
segregation, provided he could not be reassigned to a segre
gated school.
A provision allowing the Pearsall Plan to be added to
the State Constitution.
Man Charged
CHARLOTTE (AP) Police have charged an 18-year-old
youth with four armed robberies in Charlotte during the past
two weeks.
Frank Lee McClure was
grocery store, $5 from a customer who was in the store, be
tween $100 and $150 from a
salesman in a street holdup.
Police said they also had

beries during the past two weeks. They said McClure was pick

Reports On
Asian Tour
WASHINGTON (AP) Vice
President Hubert H. Humph
rey arrived last night to report
to President Johnson on a 43,
000 - mile trip designed to mend
fences against Communist ex
pansion in Southeast Asia.
His big jet was due at An
drews Air Force Base shortly
after 5 p.m. on his immediate
schedule were: a helicopter
hop to the White House, an ex-
change of greetings with John
son on the south lawn, then a
private talk in the President's
office.
On his nine - nation tour
Humphrey stressed the neces
sity for Southeast Asian na
tions to build a better life for
their people, with U. S. aid.
He also empahsized U. S. ef
forts toward a negotiated set
tlement of the Viet Nam war.
But, as in a speech he made
at Canberra, Australia, he al
so sounded a no-retreat theme.
"The first time you retreat,"
he said, "The first time you
fold up your tents, on that day
no one will ever believe in
free men again."
During Humphrey's tour, of
