D'
U.S. Embassy Continues To Shelter South Viet Nam Buddhist Leader
Tension Deepens
As Relations
Reach New Low
Saigon, South Viet Nam
(UPI) The U. S. Embassy
made no move today to surren
der the chief Buddhist opposi
tion leader, causing a deepen
ing of tension between the
United States and the govern
ment of President Ngo Dinh
Diem.
While the sheltering of the
Buddhist anti Diem leader,
Thich Tri Quang, angered the
government, informed sources
said it was cheered by the
Buddhists who make up about
70 per cent of the population.
Resentment Feared
The Buddhist segment of the
country considers Quang a hero,
and it wag believed the embassy
could not hand the priest ovei'
to the government without arous
ing widespread resent ment.
Quang took asylum In the em
bassy with two other Buddhist
priests Sunday.
Relations between the United
States and the Diem regime
were plunged to a new low
with Quang's refuge in the em
bassy and charges that the
United States was plotting a
coup d'etat.
A U.S. Embassy official de
scribed the charges as "non
sense," but declined to comment
further.
The charges were printed in
an eight-column headline Mon
day by the English language
newspaper Times of Viet Nam.
The Times is owned by an
American couple, Mr. and Mrs.
Gene Gr -ry, who are long
time frir i of Diem and his
family. The newspaper is con
sidered under virtual control of
the government.
Agitation Noted
The Times said the U.S. Cen
tral Intelligence agency was fi
nancing the coup and said both
the CIA and the Communists
had been agitating among the
Buddhists to overthrow the gov
ernment. In Hyannis Port Mon day
night. President Kennedy said
the war against Communist
suerrillas in South Vict Nam
cannot be won unless Diem's
government makes "a greater
effort to win popular support."
He said he believed the govern
ment "has gotten out of touch
with the people."
But the President said he does
not agree with those who urge a
withdrawal of u. s. troops irom
Viet Nam. He said the United
States will continue to support
the Vietnamese, adding "I don't
think the war can be won unless
the people support the effort."
Open Dispute
The United State and the
Diem government have had an
open dispute since Vietnamese
troops and police raided Budd
hist pagodas Aug. 21 and ar
rested thousands of persons.
The United States disapproved
of the strongarm tactics used.
The government contended
the crackdown was necessary to
block a coup by opposition po
litical elements using Buddhist
facilities as a cover. It charged
that widespread Buddhist pro
test demonstrations over al
leged religious discrimination
were politically motivated.
UN Airs Proposal in Israel - Syria Squabble
United Nations, N.Y. - (UPI)
The Security Council resumed
consideration today uf a U.S.
British proposal designed to sat
isfy conflicting charges of ag
gression by Israel and Syria.
The 11-nation council met fol
lowing a long Labor Day week
end recess.
During the week end, diplo
mats consulted on proposed
amendments to the A n g I o
American resolution. The
amendments were proposed by
Morocco in an effort to make
the resolution palatable to the
Arab states.
The resolution would condemn
the "wanton murder" of two
young Israeli farmers two weeks
ago in an ambush at Almagor,
a border settlement in the Sea
of Galilee region. The resolu
tion does not mention Syria, but
it implies clearly that Syrians
were responsible lor tne raid.
The killings set off some bor
dcr clashes and an aerial dog
fight between Israel and Syria
in the latest of many flareups
in the Middle East since the
1948 Palestine war.
Israel and Syria each accused
the other of aggression In com
plaints to the United Nations.
The United States and Britain
were not expected to agree to
any changes In the resolution.
Many delegates doubted the
Moroccan amendments would
have enough support to be put
to a vote.
Adoption of the resolution re
quires approval by seven of the
11 council members, with none
of the five permanent members
opposing.

School Crisis Holds Racial Attention
By United Press International
The Alabama school crisis, ap
parently building toward an
other showdown between Gov.
George Wallace and the federal
government, overshadowed all
other integration developments
today.
Wallace ordered the Tuskegee
(Ala.) High school, where 13
Negroes are scheduled to en
roll, closed for one week Mon
day to delay desegregation. The
Macon (Tuskegee) county school
board defied Wallace and said
the school still was open.
The action left the school's
550 students free to go to
classes if they desired and
could get by more than 100
state troopers Wallace threw
around the school to back up
his closure order. The Justice
Department kept a close watch
on the situation but considered
it, at the moment, a local squab
ble. At Charleston, S.C., today 11
Negro students attend public
grade school classes with whites
for the first time in South Caro
lina. Authorities expected no
trouble.
Public school desegregation
also was scheduled today in
Jacksonville and Tallahassee,

UO Professor Gets
Three Year Grant
Eugene A three-year grant
of $131,300 has been awarded
by the National Science founda
tion to Dr. Edward Novitski,
professor of biology at the Uni
versity of Oregon, to continue
his studies of fruit flics.
He has conducted these studies
for several years under pre
vious grants from the founda
tion. A recent by-product of his
research was the development
of a mutant strain of fruit fly
with the same inborn error in
metabolism that causes a type
of mental retardation in chil
dren known as PKU,
Dr. Novitski now intends to
expand his work to include the
identification of other metabolic
defects. His research is also
supported by grants from the
U.S. Public Health service.
Minimum Wage of
S1.25 Hourly To Be
Effective Tuesday
Washington (UPI) An esti- cents an hour," Wirtz said in a
mated 2,600,000 workers will get J statement. "Gains since that
pay increases this week rang-1 time have contributed to a high-
ing up to 10 cents an hour.
This is because the federal
minimum wage goes from $1.15
to $1.25 an hour effective today.
The minimum applies to jobs
held by nearly 28 million work
ers involved in interstate com
merce but most of them already
earn more than the $1.25 hourly
rate.
The Labor Department esti
mated that the raises would add
$365 million to employers' pay
rolls in the coming year.
Extended Coverage
The 44-hour standard week
also goes into effect today for
employees in big retail and
service establishments brought
under the law in 1961.
This means that workers in
these categories must be paid
time-and-a-half if they work
more than 44 hours a week. The
wage minimum for this group
of workers is now $1 an hour.
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtz recalled that the wage
hour law, formally known as the
Fair Labor Standards Act, was
passed a quarter of a century
ago.
"We have come a long way
since the legislation was passed
with a minimum wage of 25
er standard of living and a
stabilized national economy."
He termed the law "a beacon
of human progress identifiable
with the American way of life."
Even as the latest step-up in
the minimum takes effect .there
are calls for another increase to
$1.50 and extension of the law's
coverage.
AFL-CIO Favors Boost
The AFL-CIO has gone on rec
ord in favor of a boost of 25
cents more in the floor under
wages. Leaders of last week's
civil rights march on Washing
ton echoed the demand for a
higher minimum.
But prospects of Congressional
action do not appear bright. Ad
ministration spokesmen have
supported broader coverage of
the law to include laundry, hotel
and restaurant workers but even
this limited goal is not consider
ed likely to be achieved at this
session.
Raising the minimum to $50
for a 40-hour week in jobs cov
ered by the law has required
some labor unions to change
their contracts for certain low-
paid workers. The law takes pre
cedence over lower, negotiated
rates.

Fleeing From
Police Now More
Serious Offense
Salem Drivers who attempt
to outrun police officers will find
themselves facing serious trou
ble under a new law now in
effect.
As a result of instances where
a fleeing driver greatly endan
gered the lives of innocent per
sons, t h e recent legislature
made the act of attempting to
flee an officer a separate of
fense. In the past, such beha
vior was usually prosecuted as
reckless driving which calls for
a minimum penalty, upon first
conviction, of not more than 90
days in jail or not more than
$500 fine, or both.
Under the new law, the of
fending driver could also he
charged with and tried for the
offense of attempting to flee an
officer. Conviction for this
charge carries a penalty of not
more than six months in jail,
or not more than $2,000 fine, or
both.
Conviction also calls tor a
mandatory 90 day driver license
suspension on first conviction.
Any subsequent conviction re
suits in longer suspension pe
riods. The taw specifies that the
police officer must be in appro
priate uniform and be operating
an appropriately marked police
vehicle at the time.
