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.

Soviet Tanker May Face Detainment
Manila, P.I. 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.
A spokesman . at the U.S.
Navy's Sangley Point Base said
"we have been informed" of the
incident but indicated there had
been no government request for
assistance.

Navy Ends Contract With
Washington U.R) The
Navy is terminating its contract
with a military capmaker who
invoked the Fifth Amendment
and declined to produce his fi
nancial records for Senate in
vestigators. Navy Secretary Charles S.
Thomas revealed the cancella
tion in a letter to Sen. John L.
McClellan (D-Ark), chairman of
Cap Manufacturer
the Senate Investigating sub
committee which questioned Sol
Schlesinger, owner of the Ideal
Uniform Cap Co. He said the
Navy is also putting the Free
port, N.Y., firm on its list of "de
barred" contractors.
McClellan had requested that
the Navy's million - dollar con
tract with Schlesinger be can
celled. He also asked that the
contractor be blacklisted.'
