Deliberate Provacations Not Suspected
WASHINGTON The State Department reported
no evidence Friday that Kremlin deliberately ordered
destroyer collisions to worsen U. S.-Soviet relations or
warn against American actions in Vietnam.
With this public assessment the Johnson adminis
tration sought to calm international waters troubled
by the past two days' naval encounters in the Sea of
Japan.
State Department press officer Robert J. McCloskey
said no official reply has come from Moscow yet to the
stern U. S. protests over the two brushes between the
U. S. destroyer Walker and Soviet destroyers shadow
ing the U. S. naval manuvers.
Ky Intends To Run For Presidency
SAIGON Premier Nguyen Cao Ky made it official
Friday he intends to run for the presidency of South
Vietnam in the national . election Sept. 1.
But his most powerful potential military opponent,
Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu, said he still may
be a candidate to head up the civilian successor to the
military government.
In making public announcement of his intentions
during a trip to Dalat, a mountain resort 150 miles
northeast of Saigon, Ky said he would step aside u

"I will never oppose him, Ky said.

Thousands Crowd Fatima For Pope's Visit
FATIMA, Portugal On foot and by bus, thousands
of pilgrims crowded into Fatima in a steady rain Friday
night for the visit today of Pope Paul VI.
The Roman Catholic pontiff will pray for peace at
the Basilica 6f Fatima, marking the place where three
child shepherds 50 years ago said they saw the Virgin
Mary in a flash of light over a small oak tree.
Uncounted thousands stood in the rain before the
basilica at successive Masses celebrated in a huge dais
high above their bowed heads. Hour after hour the
music of the Mass sounded through the hills.
English Poet John Masefield Dies
LONDONy-John Masefield, England's poet laureate
Whose verses sang of the lonely sea and tall ships, died
Friday at 88.
He was 22nd in a line of official rhymers to the Brit
ish crown that included Chaucer, Ben Jonson, Words
worth, Scott and Tennyson. But he wore his honor
lightly.
"The office of poet laureate," he once said, "is re
sponsible for much of the world's worst literature.
Were it not for laureates ,the anthologists of bad verse
would be hard-put to fill their volumes."
Masefield considered himself mainly a story teller
and he cast his poems in simple rhymes and rhythms
had little to do with the complexities of modern poetry.
Baby Camel Comes Five Months Late
BOSTON A dromedary at Franklin Park Zoo gave
birth Friday to a baby who originally was expected to
be born last December.
Zoo officials said mother and baby appeared to be
in good health, but the sex and weight of the baby were
not immediately known.
Zoo officials who saw the dromedaries mating more
than 17 months ago had estimated, on the basis of a
normal gestation period, that the baby would be born
last December. i V
Thev said later they suspected that the original mat
ing was not successful, but that a subsequent one was.
Brezhnev Says U. S. War Policy Doomed

Student Legislature voted 28 to nine not to
hold the Vietnam referendum this fall despite
efforts by representatives David Kiel and
George Isherwood to reach a compromise on
the wording of the referendum.
The debate Thursday night opened up with
George Krichbaum commenting that "some
relative considerations have crossed legisla
tors' minds that make it imperative we con
sider the wording of the bill."
The evening ended with the legislators ap
proving Krichbaum's motion to delete the
wording of the referendum, in effect killing it.
From there, despite offers of amendments
to the wording, the debate moved on to whe
ther the referendum should actually be held.
Krichbaum called the wording of the re
ferendum "no good, unfair, and potentially
dangerous to the University. I don't want the
half shodden results of a half shodden refer
endum spread across the country," he added.
Kiel, answering Krichbaum's criticisms,
told the legislators and full gallery" that no
referendum could be satisfacotry to everyone.
This referendum was considered as much as
any referendum could be considered."
Kiel, after the death of the referendum,
said he thought "the legislature's action to

endum was tragic."
He contended that "the main proponents of
defeating the referendum at this time were mo
tivated by fear that the political discussion on
the campus was going agasint them."
Kiel said that "this action may very well
thwart the vital process of discussion and the
serious consideration of the life and death is
sues of the Vietnam war that was just be
ginning on this campus."
Larry Richter, one of the main opponents
of the referendum, commented that "there
can be no question that the student body does
have the right to express themselves. What
we are doing here is saying that we do not
want it in the atmosphere that has been ere-
ated on campus surrounding the referen
dum." Richter said he was going to introduce a
bill into committee to hold a Vietnam refer
endum next fall.
Kiel objected to postponing the referendum
on the grounds he didn't "want to lose the
momentum of interest in Vietnam," and sec
ondly because "the student body is supposed
to be up in arms" over former president Bob
Powell's letter to the president, and anxious
to express their opinions.
The idea of a referendum had originated
in February in the minds of legislators, Krich
. "m and Dick Levy, who disapproved of Pow
ell's letter which questioned the U.S.'s policy
in Vietnam.
The referendum was meant partially to be a
repudiation or justification of Powell's letter
in which, several legislators contend, Powell
posed as the representative of the students.
Powell, however, claims the letter was just
meant to represent his own feelings and
doubts.
Isherwood introduced an amendment that
would have created a fifth policy on the bal
lot, instead of four. The extra one would have
een inserted between policies A and B and
was intended as a milder form of escalation
than policy A and tougher than Policy B.
The additional policy was added, accord
ing to Isherwood, because much of the criti
cism of the referendum had centered on the
lack of an escalatory policy between policy
A and B on the ballot.
At last week's legislative session which
had approved the wording of the bill Krich
baum had introduced a five point policy simi
lar in nature to Isherwood's. At that time it
was defeated 20-18 in favor of the four point
referendum.
Representative Eliot Dahan called the bal
lot "perfect" with Isherwood's flmpnrWnt
but the body voted it down in a voice vote,
as they did Kiel's amendment.
Argument dwelled also on the discussion on
the war that was supposed to precede the ref
erendum, with the persons opposing the ref
erendum contending the hawks haven't been
fairly represented in the speeches.
Kiel said that it wasn't by any "fiendish
design" that more hawks weren't speaking on
campus, or that the State Department repre
sentative wasn't more articulate, or that Ed
ward Kennedy had changed his speech topic
to Asia.
Referendum 0B$glfa

The rumors were flying Fri
day about why the Vietnam
referendum was killed in Stu
dent Legislature Thursday
night.
While students expressed an
ger and resentment, campus
leaders tossed verbal accus
ations and refutations at each
other in an attempt to make it
appear the other side had
snuffed out the referendum.
So what actually happened,
and why?
Technically, a motion to de
lete all wording from the bal
lot (which had been approved
two weeks ago) was passed by
the legislators. This meant
that there would be no ballot.
Just why this occurred is
not certain. However, a num
ber of explanations and coun
ter - explanations have pop
ped up concerning the mat
ter. There was the charge that
the purpose of the referendum
had been distorted, that cer
tain elected leaders were
planning to use the results

President Johnson's policies) porters of the referendum as
as a "personal connaence
vote."
These leaders, it was
thought, would confront the

Their trips, it was explain

a "voice of moderation" in
the anti - war movement, and
to discourage radical protests
such as draft card burning.

that its results likely would

While it was not denied that
the anti - war element was
being played up, still, it was
argued, this only countered
pervasive influence of the gov

given almost every day in
newspapers and other media
depending on the White House
for statements and facts.
Whatever happened Thursday
night, it clearly was an organ

of them knew what was hap

angry. It is not known wheth

are being tossed around.

The report stressed that "it
is indubitably the prerogative
of the Legislature to enact
any, all or none of the pro
posals. . .
"We are also confident," it
said, "that the Legislature
will not in any emotionally
charged way act favorably
on any proposals of change

University) is lacking."
A motion was made by Wil
liam Johnson, of Lillington,
designating the executive
committee as the board's re
presentatives in discussing
the bills with legislatures, but
he withdrew the motion after
debate brought out that this
could alienate some of the
General Assembly by seem
ing to tell them what to do.
The withdrawal of the mo
tion and lack of action, how
ever, actually left the execu
tive committee to do just what
the motion had urged and
what they're normally sup
posed to do as the Executive
Committee.
It just did it ever-so-much
more tactfully.
The decision to take no ac
tion came after the urgings
of Sen. Tom White, the Lenoir
Democrat, and others on the
board warned that endorse
ment of the report could put
additional stress on an alrea
dy testy relationship between
the Legislature and the Con
solidated University..
"In recent times," White
said, "an ugly and destruc
tive trend has developed."
Higher Education, he said,
has become a battle ground
for a "fight over which of
two sides can have its way. . .
sometimes without regard to
the peace and welfare of this
state."
As examples of this trend,
the senator cited the Speak
er Ban, the fight of the N.C.
State University name change,
and the Charlotte College and
East Carolina College contro
versy. "I urge everyone concern
ed to keep steadfast. . . . ard
to act with restraint," he said.
