Brezhnev vows continued aid to North Vietnam
MOSCOW—(UPI)—Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev today opened the golden anniversary celebration of the Bolshevik Revolution by demanding a world Communist congress on China and vowing to continue helping Hanoi "until the American imperialists get out of Vietnam."
Brezhnev accused Communistist of tearing down what it took the Soviet Union 50 years to build and of damaging Hanoi's war effort in a keynote address to a meeting in the Kremlin's glass and steel Palace of Congresses.
Communist Chinese diplomats promptly walked out of the meeting.
"The people of the whole world, including millions of Americans, condemn the bloody crimes against the Vietnamese people," the Soviet Communist party chairman said. "The American intervention recollects the crimes of the Fascists."
"Ruined schools, devastated crops—that's what marks the path of the Americans in Vietnam," he said. "But they have not succeeded and will never succeed in forcing the Vietnamese people to their knees."
"The Vietnamese people will win, and there should be no doubt about that."
Brezhnev said Hanoi was suffering because of Communist China.
"The military success of the Vietnamese people could have been more considerable if it were not for the position of Mao Tsetung's groups," he said.
Will give assistance
"The Soviet Union is fully determined to render all-round assistance and support to the Vietnamese people, who are fighting for the rights."
Brezhnev said Chinese Communist party chairman Mao Tsetung is "undermining the world
Communist movement.
"It is absolutely clear that the majority of parties call for the convening of an international Communist congress," he said.
"Our party fully supports this idea and is ready to do its best to promote this."
More than 6,000 delegates from 95 nations, the Soviet parliament, cabinet and party Central Committee interrupted Brezhnev 122 times with applause during the speech. Brezhnev soared to an eloquence seldom heard in Soviet speeches of the post-Khrushchev era.
Blaze damages coeds' apartment
The flames destroyed a bed, heavily damaged a bedroom wall,
Mike Walker, Atchison junior and a next-door neighbor, reported the fire at Ridglea apartment about 6:35 p.m. Two pumper trucks from the Lawrence fire department responded.
Fire broke out in the apartment bedroom of Libby Haymes, Marshfield, Mo., graduate student, and Wynn McOrfee, Garden City senior, early Thursday evening. The two coeds were not home at the time.
and caused smoke damage in the rest of the apartment.
No estimate of the damage had been made.
F. C. Sanders, Lawrence fire chief, said the fire could have started from a cigarette or "electrical causes." It was discovered that a bedroom wall clock had shorted at 6:15 p.m.
There was apparently no damage to adjoining apartments.
Vernie Wilson, the apartment manager, said this was the third fire at Piddlea since its completion in 1966.
EVERYONE SAYS
Eut when the introduction of foreign delegations proved Cuban Premier Fidel Castro had sent only minor officials, the delegates buzzed excitedly. Red China's and Albania's absence from Moscow's five days of celebrations had been expected. But the Cuban show was something else.
Erezhnev appeared to return the snub by saying revolution can succeed only when the "objective conditions for it have taken shape."
The Kremlin had opposed Castro's drive to export his Cuban brand of revolution to other Latin American lands.
