TEX MEDrOBD (OKEOOK) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, June 30, 1955 South Viet Nam Scene Of New Anti-American Outbreaks, Terrorism Davy bedell Oten-ott Designs! By CHARLES M. MeCANN United Prcst Corrtf pondtnt The situation in the state of Southern Viet Nam in Indochi na has been complicated by an out-break of anti-Americanism. Three incidents of anti-American terrorism have been report ed from Saigon, the capital, within the last two weeks, Leaflets containing the slogan "Yankee go home," which the Communists long ago made fa miliar in Europe, have been dis tributed. So far the origin of the leaf lets and the identity of the ter rorists remain a mystery. To emphasize how chaotic the situation is, however, it is sug gested in dispatches that South "Viet Namese rebels are prob ably responsible for the terror ism and that both rebels and Communist a cents are distribut ing anti-American propaganda. The rebels are members of the three-political - religious racketeer sects which are fight ing a small scale civil war against South Viet Nam Pre mier Ngo Dinh Diem. They maintain their own little private armies. The United States strongly supports Premier Diem as offer ing the best hope of unifying South Viet Nam and keeping it from falling into the hands of the Communists. But Diem, a strong and uncom promising nationalist, is anti French and the French govern ment is strongly anti-Diem. The Communists, who are in creasingly active in Southern Viet Nam, are of course agents of Ho Chi Minn, president of the Communist State of North ern Viet Nam. Ho is now in Peiping, visiting Chinese Communists chieftains Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai. Police Officers Testify Concerning Oveross Questions Salem U.R) The question ing of Casper Oveross after the fatal shooting of his Silverton area neighbor, Ervin Kaser, last Feb. 17 was told by police offic ers yesterday in the trial of Oveross on a charge of murder. State Policeman Robert Dunn, who said he was present at a two-hour "talk" with Oveross in the office of Marion County Sheriff Denver Young, testified he had heard Oveross say he never had a .30 caliber rifle and had not owned any rifle for two or three years. - Oveross was not under arrest at the time, Dunn said and was free to go at any time he was with the officers. Harley De Peel, Silverton dist rict constable; Merle Bethschei der, Silverton policeman, and Amos Shaw, deputy sheriff, also testified yesterday about the questioning of Oveross in those early hours after the shooting. They said Oveross had asked during the questioning at the courthouse here and on his way back to Silverton if he might contact his attorney. They said the request was not denied but he was asked if he would not wait 'until they got through talking. Colored slides showing Ka- ser's body in the car and wounds in his left shoulder were admit ted as state's evidence during the testimony of Dr. Homer Har ris, director of the state crime laboratory. Governor Receives Clemency Requests For Donald Imlah Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul Pat terson reported today that he has received several requests for executive clemency that would save the life of convicted slayer Donald Dwaine Imlah The former reformatory inmate is 19 years old. Imlah was convicted of the slaying of Bruce Houck, Hood River farmer, on July 8, 1953. He first protested plans of .his attorneys to appeal his convic tion in a Hood River county court but later relented and the appeal was based on an al leged statement made by one of the convicting jurors follow ing the trial. The State Supreme Court up held the conviction. The youth is scheduled to die in Oregon's lethal gas chamber in August. Gov. Patterson did not reveal the sources of the ap peals for clemency in' the case Warden Clarence Gladden at the state penitentiary said Im lah had been a good prisoner and spent most of his time writ ing letters, reading and listening to a radio. He is held in tight security quarters. Undoubtedly the three are cooking up trouble for Southern Viet Nam, France and the United 'States. There is no indication, how ever, that Ho, Mao and Chou plan any military attack on Southern Viet Nam. As things are now, no military attack may be necessary to win South Viet Nam for Commu nism. Election in 1958 The Geneva Armistice, which ended the Indochina war and split Viet Nam into southern and northern parts, provided that elections shall be held in 1956 to unify the country. South Viet Nam voters are not being presented right now with very good arguments why they should, vote anti-Communist when the election is held. The new anti-American out break is hardly likely to im prove things. South Vietnamese are being told to demand that the United States get out of the country, as the Communists have told people in Germany and other European countries. It is a new appeal to the na tionalist and anti-colonial spirit which already has cost France so dearly in its colonies.

Jet Planes Collide Over Puget Sound Seattle (U.R) Two iet fieht- ers collided over Puget Sound near here yesterday but the two pilots were uninjured as one plane returned safely to its base and the other pilot was rescued from the water after parachut ing from his plane.

U.R) A Soviet tanker 'anchored overnight in Philippine waters without an nouncing its arrival and air force ships and planes were ordered to try and detain it, Philippine Government officials announced today. The Philippines do not recog nize Russia and no diplomatic steps were taken. Customs Commissioner Ma nuel P. Manahan identified the ship as the 10,600-ton tanker Grozney and said he had ordered a full investigation in view of recent reports of subversive ac tivities in the islands. The tanker apparently weighed anchor at dawn and there were no reports of its be ing sighted again. It had anchor ed about 500 yards from the wharf of Mati, a small Minda nao coastal town on Punjada Bay.
