Southeast Asia for Southeast Asians Mayor Defines 'Eaale Policv' By JIM SPOO Of the Kmrntld Calling for a “Southeast Asia for the Southeast Asians” peace conference and a United States commitment to accept the re sults of that conference wore pointed in the "eagle policy” for Vietnam presented by Berkeley, Calif, Mayor Walter Johnson Wednesday at the KMU free speech platform. "Expediency and militancy are out. Our policy must be on a firm moral base. Are we real ly willing to respect the Asians and what they decide? That is the moral question," Johnson said. Johnson, 54, described him self as “part time" mayor of Berkeley, an international in dustrialist, and rancher. Since October 1DB7 he said he has been presenting his peace plan in person to high ranking lead ers in this country and South Vietnam, including Gen. West moreland, South Vietnam Presi dent Thieu, and US Ambas sador to South Vietnam Ells worth Bunker. Besides the peace conference and United States acceptance of its results, Johnson's plan calls for the United States to an Fadeley Predicts McCarthy Committii By RICK RFFS Of thr Kmrrald Neither Senator Eugene Mc Carthy nor President Johnson nor George Wallace nor the Democratic party is in danger of committing political suicide, but McCarthy's supporters are. So commented state senator and state Democratic chairman Ed Fadeley Wednesday to an overflow crowd in the World Affairs Briefing Center. Fadeley maintained that the Democrats who support Mc Carthy may be in danger of estranging themselves from the political system if McCarthy loses his bid for the nomination. Fadeley added that these peo ple “who are the intellectuals and workers of the party" might read themselves out of the party and become disenchanted with the democratic process. Fadeley’s remarks aroused many questions and comments from the audience — several based on misinterpretation of the title of his talk, "The Me nounce a cease fire for the be ginning of the conference. The United States would also offer loans for repair of war damage and economic development in both Viclnams. "North Vietnam would be highly likely to attend a con ference of their own neighbors and peers. No big powers would be there. It would be the ulti mate* test for Ho (.‘hi Minh to show if he is interested in peace,” he said. "We could be sure that United States interests wotdd be pro tected at the peace conference by South Vietnam and Thai land. The North Vietnamese delegation would include rep resentation of the Viet Cong,” he said. Johnson commented that if North Vietnam violated t h e cease-fire, the peace conference could present the evidence and brand the aggressor. Before him was a representa tion of the American eagle grasping an arrow and an olive branch. He said. "If the olive branch is spurned there would be no choice for us but to re lentlessly continue assistance to South Vietnam ” Johnson appeared on TV in Portland last Friday with ASUO ’ Backers ig Suicide Carthy Candidacy: Political Sui cide . . . But Whose.” One spectator commented, “In standing there right now, you (Kadeley) are showing some ot the symptoms of death.” Repeatedly, Fadeley was re quested to declare his opinions on the Vietnam conflict. He re plied that his personal views were not the topic of the dis cussion. Fadeley added, “Some of the McCarthy supporters have decided that 1 am the enemy within the state." When asked if he would en dorse McCarthy should the Min nesota senator win in the May primary. Fadeley replied that he would. Questions also arose over Fadeley’s possible candi dacy for Congress He answered that if he chose to run, his posi tions would be made known at that time, but at present he would suppress personal views in favor of party unity. Fadeley ended with the com ment, "I realize there won’t be time for everyone to denounce me.” But upon leaving, he pass ed a poster urging people to “Dump Fadlcy.” Be sure to buy DAD'S DAY LUNCHEON TICKETS For SATURDAY, March J Now on Sale at the EMU Main Desk Price $2.00 Vice-president Mike Donahue to discuss his plan. In conferences with Thieu, Westmoreland, and Presidential foreign policy top aide Walt Kostow, Johnson said his plan was recognized as workable and creative. Den. Westmoreland es pecially liked it as did other prominent people in the gov ernment who are noted hawks, hut according to Johnson, Ros tow said the United States was committed to the "San Antonio formula." “It is not likely that Presi dent Johnson will accept the plan," said Johnson, "but this is an election year and it is con ceivable that this plan will be presented by another candi date.” Liaison Bureau Questions Faculty The Faculy-Liaison Bureau came up with three questions for the faculty Tuesday regard ing campus activities. The questions scheduled to be submitted to the faculty this week are worded as follows: First—What do you feel can be done to help break down the large lecture groups and form better communication between the students and professors? Second—There is presently a system of 150 graded hours and .'16 pass-no pass credit hours. A proposal has been made to change this number to 126 graded hours and 60 pass-no pass credits. Do you feel that there is a need for a change in the amount of pass-no-pass credits for graduation? Why? The last question covers court jurisdiction. What do you feel the juris diction of the conduct code should be in regard to civil cases? Chairman Steve Ross asked that any faculty members not presently being contacted by the Faculty-Liaison Bureau con tact him at ext. 356. The answers will be returned to Ross for the next committee meeting.
