g g THUHSPAY. AUGUST 1. 1963 MEDFORP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEPFOHO. OREGON m Hem Confident of Eventually Restoring Peace in South Vietnam By ROBERT UDICK Saigon-WPU-South Vietnam President Ngo Dlnh Diem ia confident h I s government will weather a storm raised by Buddhist leaders and go on to win over the Commu nist Vletcong. "The government has never practiced a policy of religious discrimination," Diem said. "Thus I believe that finally all the political campaigns waged from with in, as well as from without iha cnnnirv under this false nrotpxt will fail by them selves simply in view of the government's sincerity." niom marie the statement in a four-hour interview with United Press International on his government's position. j H um confident that within two to three yeara peace will have been re ' stored in South Vietnam along with the population's full rights. Position Stiffened By saying his opponents operated under a "false pre text," he showed that his gov ernment's position has stif fened, and that it Is prepared to meet any challenge of re ligous discrimination. He showed as well that his government saw the Bud dhist campaign as essentially a political one., "Hypocritical people at tack us," Diem said, "Just like the Pharisees. In addi tion to the hot war, I have to deal with a cold war. He made It clear that he intended to pursue both the hot and the cold war with his present team. "In classic tradition," he said, "The Communists seek to Isolate the president. Their tactics seek to cut from the president all people around him who are valuable. "They charge that this Is a family government, a cor rupt government. There are those who charge that this government has lost the sup port of the people. But what counts funda. mentally is this: How can they claim there is inept leadership when people wltn out pay die for their country every day? "The charge Is unreason able and unwarranted." Reference To Rumors He also made clear refer ence to rumors here that some political groups might be angling for American sup port should they try to over throw him. "If ever there were Viet namese politicians whj would propose a kind of protecto rate of the United States over Vietnam in exchange for support for their in trigues, such actions would not fail to harm the friend ship between the two coun tries," he said. Anyone familiar with the present state of the problems of underdevelopment and the Communists jvould find it difficult to "intoxicate" the American public, he added. "All the problems that I have faced since 1954 are problems of underdevelop ment technical, economic and social backwardness with the feeling of humilia tion attached to that miser able condition, and the desire to rapidly emerge from it. "Then there is disunity, with extremely virulent ide ological passions which do not exist any more in ad vanced countries, and final ly, the Communist subver sive war." Diem said he had little fear that the Vietcong would be able to infiltrate in large numbers. He said they have to select people they hope they can depend upon, and if they tried a massive infil tration many of their num bers would go over to the government's side. Diem said he welcomed a change he had found in the attitude of the United States. He said it came about follow ing the visit of Vice President Lyndon Johnson and the ar rival of Ambassador Frede rick Notling, who will soon be replaced by Henry Cabot Lodge. The new attitude was par ticularly welcome because of the support that came for the training and equipping of the civil guard and the vil lage guards, he said. "The newer the indepen dence of a country the more passlonaluly are ' the people attached to it," Diem said. In such countries, he said, it might happen that some leaders of the "bourgeois class and a certain number of intellectuals . . . are less sensitive to this deep popu lar feeling." He said "their oninion as well as their attitude" does not "reflect the op-.nlon of the popular masses." Diem said the American public should have a more "penetrating knowledge of Communists subversive war, a total and multifarious war, war which refuses actual combat but seeks instead the moral attrition of the oppo nent. A war which is fought on all fronts p o 1 i 1 1 c a I, economic, social, cultural, diplomatic and military, a war which is waged on a world scale although the spear's head is aimed only at a few specific points of the globe." Diem said "Another thing which must also oe brought tn the knowledge of tha American public, is the fact we are forging together in Vietnam the weapon capable of victoriously countering; Communist subversive war, not only for the sake of Vietnam, but also for tha sake of any other placa where it might e waged. "One must not forget either that here we have to deal with the best Commu nist guerrilla army which can exist in the present world, in terms of clever ness, experience and toughness." 10 Persons Die As Station Wagon Slams Into Truck Toledo, Ohio - (DPD - An outing to a drive-In movie ended in violent death Wednesday night when ten persons, Iacludiag eight young children, were killed ia the worst trafJit mishap ia tke memory of highway aatrol men.
