Main By RAY HERNDON I SAIGON, South Viet Nam I (UPI) The Vietnamese govern ment is bracing itself for a drastic reduction in American economic aid, more than half of which has been suspended since the end of August, Reliable sources now say that Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem and his powerful brother and political counselor Ngo Dinh Nhu are convinced that the United States will continue to withhold most of its economic aid or will sharply reduce the amount should aid be resumed. At the same time, it is re liably reported that the gov ernment has appointed two of its Army generals to make a study of the problems which would be encountered should the United States also suspend its military aid. To Study Impact Reliable sources said the two generals have been named to head a committee which will make a study of the impact of the Vietnamese military of sus pended American military aid. Although the United States has not formally announced suspension of its aid to Viet Nam, the economic aid mission here has effectively halted its commercial import program which indirectly provides more than 70 per cent of South Viet Nam's military budget. Faced with the possibility that the American commercial im port program may not be re sumed, qualified sources say mat tne Vietnamese govern ment leaders are considering various economic steps which would allow them to "go it alone" should that become necessary. Steps Considered Among the steps that Diem and Nhu are considering but have not yet acted upon are plans to: - Raise taxes -on certain basic commodities such as gasoline as well as luxury taxes on thea ter admissions, etc. Ration the sales of imported commodities, especially items Viet Nam imports with its own foreign currency reserves. Reduce the allowance of Vietnamese civil servants who draw extra monthly allotments depending on their position and the number of children they have. Each of these plans is de signed directly or indirectly to reduce expenditures of the Vietnamese government and preserve Viet Nam's precious foreign currency reserves. Financial circles say that the first such economy move will be the raising by more than 200 per cent the taxes on petrol eum imports and consequently tne price ot imported gasoline would double. Business sources said the government already has noti fied the major oil companies operating in Viet Nam that the retail price of gasoline will be changed from approximately 40 U.S. cents per gallon to 80 U.S. cents. Shows Displeasure It is generally believed here that the United States has sus pended the major portion of its economic aid to Viet Nam as a means of showing its displeas ure over the Vietnamese gov ernment's handling of the Buddhist crisis. In late August, the Vietnam-. cse government broke its sol emn promise to the United States that it would follow a conciliatory course of action in dealing with the Buddhist ques tion. Vietnamese government troops on Aug. 21 stormed Buddhist pagodas throughout Viet Nam, arresting thousands of Buddhist priests and laymen who led the nearly four-month politico-religious protest move ment which threatened to topple the regime of President Diem. American Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge is reliably report ed to view the political situation in this country as "very ser ious." Lodge also is known to have grave doubts whether the Ngo family government can muster sufficient popular sup- Halloween Events Include Painting Contest, Dance As in previous years, t h e Medford Moose Lodge and the City of Medford Recreation De partment in cooperation with Medford public schools are plan ning Halloween festivities. Oct. 31 has again been desig nated as Youth Honor Day with participating youth requested to sign a pledge card, which states that the signer will not perform any act harmful to others dur ing the Halloween season. Events planned include a win dow painting contest, a Hallo ween costume parade and a dance for teen-agers. The parade will be Saturday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m. Registration Open Registration for the window painting contest is open in the recreation office on the second floor of Medford City Hall, Fifth St. and Central Ave. Registra tion today and Friday will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sat urday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Painting must be completed by 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 28, so judging can begin. Students wishing to partici pate in the window painting con test must not be older than 14 years, must sign a pledge card and be registered for the con test. Either water color or poster paint must be used for painting and entrants are to take the paint with them to the City Hall when they register so it may be approved for use. Each partici pant will be assigned a space on a window of Medford store. The subject should follow the Halloween or autumn theme. A number of prizes will be awarded in two age groups, 11 and under and 12 through 14. port to win this largely polit-ithe increase of shipping rates ical war against the Communist on the government owned rail- Viet Cong. A vast majority of the Amer ican civilian officials here feel that the Vietnamese govern ment as presently constituted cannot win the war. Pressure on Regime It is widely believed here now that the United States has suspended more than half of its aid to the Viet Nam both to put pressure on the Ngo family regime and to demonstrate to the Vietnamese population and dissident elements here that the United States is not irrevocably tied Xo the present Vietnamese government. Another government move to boost its internal revenues was way system. According to an economy department order pub lished recently the shipping rates rose by 12.59 per cent earlier this month. Meanwhile, the unrest in fi nancial circles brought about by the temporary suspension of American aid has caused the black market rate of the Viet namese Piastre (currency unit) to shoot up in the past few days to an all time high of 140 pias tres per United States dollar. The official rate for the pias tre is 73 per U.S. dollar, but there has always been a steady demand and market for the piastre which fluctuated be tween 80 and 90 per dollar. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF THERE'S BEEN a lot of grumbling about the time it takes these days for a game of big-league baseball to be played, what with jpitchers posing as statues for minutes at e time, adjusting their caps, pants, belts, socks, and what have you, and managers calling confer ences at, every turn of a television camera. The president of one of the leagues sent a secret memo to valued officials asking for suggestions as to how play might be speeded up. The likeliest suggestion came from one cynic on the Journal: "Play only eight innings instead of nine." A jet was about to take off for Seattle from Idlewild when a man rushed up to the gate attendant and demanded, "WD1 there be time for me to get on that jet and kiss my wife goodbye?" The attendant answered gravely, That depends, sir, on bow long you've been married." Let us give a thought to the farmer in North Dakota who told cronies around the cracker barrel, "I'm agitated. Two months ago my wife had quadruplets. Today she tells me we have triplets." "You're out of your mind," scoffed Old Man Boles. "Can't have triplets two months after you've had quadruplets." "Can too," said the worried father. "One of the quadruplets got lost." O 1363. by Bennett Cat. Statributcd by King Features ttywilcata m z vy -L ROTATE V ' H - J -f.JJV aliumi n item .- wllh 2 ll.rt.

Ikcda, whose Liberal Demo crats won 296 of the 467 lower house seats in the last elections three years ago, will stress in the campaign that Japan will remain a firm ally of the United States. He will also seek voter approv al of his economic plan, which foresees doubling of Japan's in come in the next 10 years and a consequent rise in the standard of living. Ikeda took office in the wake of anti-American rioting that forced then President Eisen hower to cancel his visit here. He replaced Nobusuke Kishi, also a Liberal Democrat, who resigned after pushing through the controversial U.S. -Japan mil itary security pact, which set off the riots.
