FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, June 21, I9S5 Indochina Situation Steadily Gets Worse As Ho Enters Scene By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent Things seem to be getting steadily worse in Indochina. Rebels in Southern Viet Nam, most important of the three In dochina states, are fighting a small scale civil war against Premier Ngo Dinh Diem. Diem's political enemies are reported also to be plotting against him from within his own governmental organization. And now, as if things were not bad enough already, Ho Chi Minh, leader of Communist Northern Viet Nam, is interest ing himself actively in the sit uation. A dispatch from Saigon,' the Southern Viet Nam capital, re ported a week ago that Ho's ra dio had started appealing to the anti-Diem rebels "to unite with their brothers of the North." It Is known that Communist agents are increasingly active in the country areas of Southern Viet Nam. They are telling the people that Ho is sure to take over the country sooner or lat er, and that it would be smart to get on his side in advance. Change of Mind There was another develop ment during" the week end which showed how chaotic the Southern Viet Namese situation is. Hundreds of people who had fled from the North to escape Communist rule held a demon stration in Saigon demanding that they be sent home again Most likely there were some undercover Communist agents among the demonstrators. Unfortunately, it has been in dicated for some time that some of the 800,000 people who fled the North when Viet Nam was split into northern and southern parts under the Geneva armis tice now want to go back home. Unless the present trend is stopped there is ever reason to believe that more of the refu gees will want to go back to the North. There is every reason also for Ho to look forward with some optimism to the elections which are to be held next year to unify Southern , and Northern Viet Nam. More Bad News It is not only in Southern Viet Nam that the situation is bad. A Saigon dispatch reports that 10,000 Communist guerrillas are harassing government troops in the state of Laos. These Reds were part of Ho's army before the Geneva armistice, under which Viet Nam was split into northern and southern parts. . It is reported t further that some of the anti-Diem rebels have set up a headquarters in Cambodia, third of the Indo china states, and thus threaten to involve that area in the civil war. . Premier Diem, whom the Un ited States supports, is putting up a good fight against the reb els and against plotters in his own government. . But he has made himself unpopular, by his stubbornness, with many people who ought to be supporting him. It looks as if the Indochina situation will soon cause a lot more worry to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. There have been several attacks against Am ericans in Saigon within the last week. Also, a clandestine rebel ra dio has warned Americans to keep neutral in the civil war or be prepared to suffer retaliation. McCarthy Assured Of Prompt Action On Big Four Plan Washington (U.R) Sen. Jo seph R. McCarthy was assured that his resolution regarding the Big Four conference will get prompt consideration from the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee, perhaps today. The assurance was given by Senate Democratic leader Lyn don B. Johnson after he and the Wisconsin Republican tangled on the issue on the Senate floor yesterday. Johnson finally blocked an attempt by McCar thy to bypass the committee. Asks Assurances The wrangle developed over McCarthy's resolution asking the administration to get assur ances from the Big Four foreign ministers that Soviet satellite nations will be discussed at the forthcoming Big Four meeting. McCarthy asked permission to introduce his resolution out of order. Challenged by Johnson, McCarthy conceded that he had planned to offer another unani mous consent request that the resolution be considered with out going to the committee. McCarthy finally agreed to have his resolution sent to the Foreign Relations committee af ter Johnson said both he and Re- oublican leader William F. Knowland would urge the com mittee to consider it today or to morrow. Cannot Pledge Support Johnson earlier "had warned McCarthy that he could not! promise that the Foreign Rela tions committee would act fa vorably on the resolution. McCarthy said 'time is of the essence" since the assurances he wants the administration to get from French, British and Rus sian foreign ministers should be sought in San Francisco this week. He said another resolu tion he introduced has been pending in the committee three months Johnson urged McCarthy to employ the regular committee route. He said some members of the committee "might" support the resolution.
