DOMMKN United Press International SAIGON (UPI) Americans who are now deeply involved in South Viet Nam, are accustomed! to thinking in terms of short, de cisive wars. But the Vietnamese peasant. who has watched continuous troop movements and heard sporadic gunfire around his bamboo hut (or the past 20 years, knows that end ing the struggle between the pro Western government of South Viet Nam and the pro-Communist Viet Cong guerrillas is a matter of years, not months. Vict Nam, once part of Indo china in the mighty French empire! of Southeast Asia, is a violent land. The Vietnamese peasant knows that the Communist .government of North Vict Nam sympathizes with the insurgents fighting against the regime of South Viet Nam President Ngo Dinh Diem He may be only dimly aware, if at all, that North Viet Nam sec retly directs and supports the guerrilla fighters in the south. The struggle has more the sem blance of an insurrection than an invasion, in any case. And the North Vict Nam government in Hanoi is careful to keep It that. way. Peaceable By Day Today, as eight years ago In the fight against the French, the. black-clothed peasant in his rice-! field Is peaceable by day but often violent by night. And, again as in Ihe Indo-China war, It is the peasant who forms the raw ma terial of the struggle, and Is Its chief victim. He has thrown In his lot with neither the Diem government, nor Ihe shadow administration estab- shed in his village by the Viet. Cong. His lack of uniform and in signia permits him to be a soldier without commitment. He can play one side against the other, or both gainst the middle, in order to save himself and his family from destruction. The Vietnamese peasant, thus aught in the middle, may be no more than a disgruntled toiler in the fields. He may be disillusioned with Diem's promises of land re form, or the actions of the g-iv einmontappointed district chief. Discreet TlnoH His support for the guerrilla; may consist only of a discreet tipoff to the local Viet Cong about government troop movements. On the other hand, he may have lost a relative in a government mopping up operation," and may feed, clothe and hide Viet Gong agents in his house. More often, the Viet Cong holds some com pelling element of blackmail over his head which forces him to col laborate with them. This is the kind of soldier on which the clandestine political co ordinating body of the insurrec tion depends. The National Liber ation Front, formed in December, 1960, has no leading figure oil any wide international reputation. It is unified by common opposi tion to President Diem. Its leaders are not tongue-tied functionaries of North Viet Nam because the Viet Minh learned during the long fight against the French that success in guerrilla warfare depends on an unshak able popular support. The insur rection must take root among, and stem from, the local inhabitants.

In their propaganda sheets dis tributed in South Vietnamese vil lages, the insurgents avoid the! use of Communist jargon, far too complicated and remote for the average peasant to understand. In stead, they, stress two major themes comprehensible to every one liberation and unity. It is liberation from the tyran ny of Diem's palace police and his sometimes corrupt henchmen in the rural areas. It is liberation, above all, from the Americans who they say are unlawfully oc cupying the land of the Vietna mese people, just as the French did before the Japanese war. It is the unity of the common people against the so-called American-Diem collaborators, the unity of the uneducated masses in the face of the privileged few of Saigon.

The problem of proper deport ment while pushing a supermart cart first was noticed only by poor injured fellow shoppers. But the way the innocent push er's being bumped and bruised by thoughtless cart pushers now has become a matter of public safety, as the Greater New York Safe ty Council sees it. As a community service, the council has drawn up a code for supermarket characters. Many rules of the road apply in piloting a cart through the pro duce, meat and sweets depart ment. Aisle hogs, for example, are something like road hogs. Then there are the supermarket tail-! gaters. They cause rear-end col lisions just as automotive tailgat- ers cause smashups. Ditto for unsettling conditions caused by cart pushers who pass without oberving S.O. P. simple, ordinary politeness. Rules of the aisle suggested by the council include the following: Gentle that cart. The aisle isn't a drag race strip. And don't park the cart in the middle of a traffic lane while you shop else where. Avoid cutting through t h e checkout lines. If in a hurry, try going around through less crowd ed aisles. If you want to pass, try simple "excuse me." It fiets bet ter results than brute force. keep both feet under you not stretched behind when you bend town (or something on a low shelf or pause to meditate about selec tions.

In Brazils richest city, the booming U.S. business community is having a bad case of the jit ters over the possibility that this mammoth nation may be headed down that path.

Which way will Brazil go? "Our earnings are tremendous on paper," savs an automotive in- utive. "But they are awfully smart. We don't know who is us ing whom." At the same time, the gov ernment is currently considering legislation that would make as signed radio and TV channels temporary and on constant review hy federal authorities. Even though this system has! been in effect for years, there is the fear in tlie American com munity in Sao Paulo that commu nications legislation is the first step toward suppression. In Rio de Jamero once the capi tal and still foreign service and press headquarters, old orazii hands and the international civil service are inclined to discount the stirrings in Brasilia as part of an old game. But just why there has been a build-up of both U.S. and Iron Cur-i tain newsmen in Rio within the can say. Closer to home, the business community is supported in its wor ries by the Brazilian money situation. With sales, earnings and em ployment at an all-time high, the cruzeiro is losing value daily. A dollar today buys nearly 700 cru zeirosnearly twice the amount of a year ago. But you can't find dollars to buy. And by recent law, you can't send home any more than 10 per cent of your profits or 10 per cent of your capi tal dustry supplier. "But what good are they. You certainly wouHn't put your cruzeiros in the bank to day, not knowing what they'd be worth tomorrow." Money is worth so little, in fact, that you find few beggars on the streets and few hard goods in the stores. Everybody's putting his paper money into things. A steak dinner filet mignon costs about 85 American cents. And what's going to happen when we reach capacity produc tion?" a manufacturer asks. "To keep Brazil from a slump, we've got to make seven million new jobs every year. But next year or the year after, most of us will be at capacity production. Then what?" Between the money squeeze. wild inflation, and the drive to ward capacity production, many businessmen both Brazilian and American have dark suspicions that "other companies" are pro tecting Communist-infiltrated la bor' unions in order to avert strikes. Just how potent the Communists really are appears to be beside the point in Sao Paulo thinking. even though ardently democratic observers are sure the subversive threat is small in numbers. "What if it's small. It's well or ganized." says a U.S. organiza tion man. "That's what counts. Take Time, Care Splicing Cords By MB. FIX Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Making long lengths of rope out of short pieces is simple enough just tie them together. Making long lengths of electric cord out of short pieces is a little more involved. Instead of knotting the pieces together it is necessary to splice them, making the con nection electrically as well as me chanically sound. Splicing will be needed where electric cords prove too short where breaks occur or where in filiation has become fraved If the cord is old and fraying occurs in more than one spot replace (he entire cord. Also never splice two extremely short lengths. It's not worth the bother Stagger the splicing in the two wires the cord contains.
