Students and faculty members from both campuses then gathered in the Duke Chapel for a Peace Service. Attendance at the Y Court rally was sparse, possibly because of the chilly, misty rain which was falling.

Humphrey as the Democratic Presidential nominee. It was the first time the giant labor organization ever endorsed a candidate without ratification by its membership. Meany's surprise announcement came immediately after Humphrey, who has not said whether he'd run, and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, an announced contender, met separately with President Johnson an old political ally of Meany. Humphrey's endorsement by the AFL-CIO was viewed as a, blow to the candidacies of both Kennedy and Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, the Democratic victor in Tuesday's Wisconsin primary. Maddox Calls For Wallace Draft ATLANTA Gov. Lester Maddox, describing his action as a move to help the party, said Wednesday he is launching a nationwide drive to draft George Wallace for a place on the Democratic ticket. ."I would like to call upon the American people to call on their Democratic leaders to call on George Wallace as a candidate on the national Democratic ticket," Maddox said in a news conference. George Wallace represents a sufficient number of people that if he's ignored the Democrats are washed up in the White House. I'm doing this to help my party." Wallace Petition Started In N. C. - RALEIGH North Carolinians will get a chance to vote for George Wallace for President, two of the Alabaman's advance men promised here Wednesday. The two kicked off a drive to get the names of 200,000 registered North Carolina voters on petitions supporting the former Alabama Governor as a third party candidate for the White House. Only 10,000 names are needed to insure Wallace's name is on the ballot, but "We are looking forward to getting 200,000 signatures," said Joe Fine. "There in't another politician in the country that can come here and get this many names on petitions. Whites Will Again Picket Barber Shop DAVIDSON White Davidson College students Wednesday secured a parade permit and planned to resume picketing here Thursday in front of a Negro-owned barber shop which refuses to serve Negroes. Students picketed the (Ralph) Johnson Barber Shop for a short time Tuesday afternoon until police told them they would have to secure a permit. The permit was issued Wednesday morning. By MIKE FEINSILBER WASHINGTON (UPD The American capital was more hopeful than it was . op timisticand more cautious than convinced that North Vietnam's offer to talk about the conditions for peace talks meant the beginning of an end to the bloodletting in Viet nam. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, -Mont., spoke for his colleagues and much of the nation Wednesday when he heard the news. "It looks good," he said. "I hope it's true." Sen. Henry M. Jackson, ID Wash., was with President Johnson at the time. He said the President was "very in terested." At the United Nations, Secretary General Thant said he was convinced "meaningful talks" could "take place even perhaps within a few days" once the United States stops "all the bombing and other acts of war against North Viet nam." 1 Two Points Two points were emphasized here: Hanoi's offer was not to start peace negotiations, but only to meet with American representatives to talk about setting up the machinery with the United States for negotia tions. Hanoi repeated that all "acts of aggression" against North Vietnam would have to be halted before peace negotia tions could begin. The start of negotiations, if it came, would not necessarily mean the end of the fighting. Rep. Richard Boiling, D-Mo., recalled that America suffered its heaviest deaths while two years of peace talks dragged on in the Korean War. Nevertheless, the Ha n 0 i broadcast was the first offer to meet with the United States while t he bombing of the North, even though curtailed Sunday night, went on. The U.S. financial com munity liked the news. Trading was so heavy that the New York Stock Exchange ticker at one point ran 40 minutes behind transactions. Sen. Stuart Symington, D Mo., who has grown critical of President Johnson's war policy in recent months, called the offer to talk "a step forward but I don't think it's anything we ought to do handsprings over."

Zagoria made this comment on the probable future of U.S. involvement in Viet Nam during a speech en titled "The Sino-Soviet Split and the Viet Nam War" at the Wednesday afternoon session1 of the 1968 Carolina Symposium. Dr. Zagoria is currently 'Director of the research in stitute of Modern Asia at New York's Hunter College. He is .''a-graduate of Rutgers and Colimibia. He has done extensive research in South and Southeast Asia and is the author of a book on the Sino Soviet split and one on the Viet Nam War. Dr. Zagoria explored the Viet Nam situation from the viewpoints of the three major powers involved (Russia, China, and the U.S.) and discussed the influence of the war on the relations between those three nations. In discussing Russia's posi tion in the conflict, Zagoria said the Soviet Union "has never cared very much about what is happening in Viet Nam except insofar as it affects events in Europe and Russia's relations with the United States." He "said that Stalin had discouraged Ho Chi Minh after World War H, as he did not want to antagonize French Communists and lose the op portunity to bring France into the Soviet camp. At Geneva Russia and France combined to formulate a settlement which was not acceptable to Ho. Since that time, the Soviet Union has attempted to steer a middle course which would keep North Viet Nam from going over to the Chinese camp without permanently damaging U.S. Soviet relations. Moscow relizes that the war has divided the U.S. internally and has divided the western alliance, and she has taken advantage of this. However, she fears escala tion because it could lead to a situation in which she would be forced to either intervene or sit back and watch the U.S. destroy North Viet Nam and possibly China. China recognizes the war as a chance to destroy the UJS. Soviet detente which was a primary cause of the Sino Soviet split. Therefore, she is in no hurry to end the war as long as she is safe herself from an American invasion. Hanoi, on the other hand, is anxious for re-unification and a settlement which would not sell the southern Com munists short. The Chinese are more in terested in prosecuting their dispute with Russia than with helping Hanoi. The United States remains in Viet Nam because it fears that a Communist take-over would lead to a "domino chain" reaction and the ven tual loss of all Asia. The "domino" theory is bas- ( Continued on PagejS) China May Shift From Mao Policy LEI Accepts North's Offer To Talk Peace By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON The United States and North Vietnam took a small but enormously signifi cant step Wednesday toward preliminary diplomatic discussions that could lead to an end of the Vietnam war. First, the Hanoi government declared in a radio broadcast its willingness to meet with American representatives to discuss "the unconditional cessation of the United States bombing raids and all other acts of war against the Democratic Republic of Viet nam so that talks may start." Then President Johnson told bombing newsmen at the White House he was accepting Hanoi's of fer. He announced that the United States "will establish ocntact with the represen tatives of North Vietnam. Consultations with the govern ment of South Vietnam and other allies are now taking place " The President" also said he would fly to Honolulu, Hawaii, late Thursday evening for a long weekend of conferences with American officials from South Vietnam. Johnson did not say how contact would be made with North Vietnam, or when or where Geneva, Switzerland, was considered a likely site. The president already has said his prime negotiators in the event North Vietnam chose to res Dond to his curtailment of the raids would o e A m b a s s ador-at-Large W. Averell Harriman and Llewellyn E. Thompson, U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union. Whether any. other figure would join the negotiating from world team was unknown. There was no word Moscow or any other capital Wednesday to shed any light on th president's specific plans. But it was obvious that Johnson, after a full and hectic day of urgent assessments, considered the Hanoi state ment to be genuine enough to warrant a serious response. The president had a lengthy afternoon meeting with his leading advisers and then went out to a White House driveway before a battery of cameras, microphones and newsmen. - He read a statement quoting from an official U.S. govern ment translation of an English language broadcast of the North Vietnamese government statement that followed a Vietnamese-language broadcast of the same statement, which began at 9:33 a.m. EST. By FRANK BALLARD of The Daily Tar Heel Staff A major Red Chinese shift from Mao Tse-Tung's ideological policies to more flexible, pragmatic means is "very possible" A. Doak Barnett said Tuesday night at the sixth Carolina Symposium lecture in Memorial Hall. Barnett is a political scien tist and expert on China, and has published numerous books about Communist China. A professor of government and Chairman of the Contemporary China Studies Committee at Columbia University, he is cur rently on a year's leave at MIT's Center for International Studies. While a major policy shift is "not by any means . definite," it could come under the transition of China's na tional leaders from the Mao to post-Mao period, he ex plained. "It depends on the kind of leadership in China and the future policies the US and others pursue toward China," Burnett said. "The central aim of US policy now and in the future should be to- try and convince the Chinese that they do have options in policies and en courage a shift from Mao's militancy and isolationism. "If such a shift does take place there is no doubt that it would evoke favorable responses from the Asian neutrals," he added. China is presently "more militant and feared" in Southeast Afcia than ever before and her state-to-state relations are "at a low point." Today most Asian nations view her "with considerable ap prehension" and relations with other Asian Communist states are less certain than ever before, Barnett feels. The disruption of China's political hierarchy and the isolationism brought about by the "Cultural Revolution" have help bring about his worsening of China's relations with her Communist neighbors. While Mao has "publicly endorsed revolutionary struggles of any kind" such (as those in the Phillippines, Thailand, Viet nam and Laos, Barnett pointed out that she has not offered to fight others battles. "Mao's model for revolution and insurrection still has ap peal, but we shouldn't ex aggerate the degree it has enhanced Peking's im age. . .the power of being a moral example and moral in fluence is limited." Moreover, "the major non allied nations in Asia are now all hostile to Peking." Barnett summed up China's external policy during the past two and a half years as "something close to disaster." Besides the possibility that Mao's successors wfll reject his ideological policy for more pragmatic and flexible means, a dramatic defeat for the US in Vietnam or the success cf revolutions endorsed by Red China could aid a major policy shift for the Chin corns, he said. Barnett believes that neither of the latter factors are likely. Describing the trends and "constant change" in China's policies since the Communist takeover in 1949, he remarked that "in an 18-year period China has been transformed from a weak coun try. . .essentially (Continued oa Pags j6) very a it-
