Sen.Hatfield backs Gavin
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— Sen. Mark O. Hatfield (R-Ore.), the leading Republican dove, said he would like to see the GOP nominate a "peace candidate" like Gen. James M. Gavin in 1968.
Gavin said, however, he has neither the money nor organization necessary to mount a presidential campaign and does not see how he could wind up in the 1968 picture.
"I have only ideas and convictions," Gavin said, "and I don't think these are adequate these days."
The talk of a Republican peace candidate comes against the background of mounting discontent over President Johnson's policies in Vietnam.
The latest Gallup Poll shows that Johnson is no longer even the most popular candidate within his own party, trailing Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New York 39 per cent to 37 per cent.
Hatfield, in a television interview Sunday on CBS "Face the Nation," said he did not believe the Republican party would "nominate a hawk" at its 1968 convention.
"I think the Republican party realizes that it has to present to the American people in 1968 a choice and not an echo," the Oregon lawmaker said.
"I believe that General Gavin, who is a very deep thinker, a man who combines intellectualism with military expertise, is certainly a man to be listened to.
"I believe that if he should make a bid or his friends should promote him into the actual nominating activity, that he would be the type of person that I could well and happily support," Hatfield said.
Sen. Charles Percy (R-III) meanwhile accused President Johnson of being "incapable of ending the war in Vietnam."
Speaking in New Orleans, Percy said Johnson is "irrevocably committed to a course of action which has not worked since he took office, which is not working now, and which shows no sign of working in the future."
Saigon cops crush protest
SAIGON — (UPI) — Riot police used tear gas and clubs Monday to break up an anti-government student demonstration.
The battle broke out shortly after the National Assembly began its third and final day of debating the recommendation of its special election watchdog committee that the election of Gen Nguyen Van Thieu and Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky be invalidated because of "many irregularities."
The police charged into the group of about 200 students almost before they got started. Several of the students were injured. Two CBS-TV newsmen were also injured and a third was assaulted.
Meanwhile, there were unconfirmed reports that a high ranking militant Buddhist leader planned to burn himself alive to protest the election.
The reports said the monk might immolate himself in front of the U.S. Embassy as an embassarment to the Americans, who many dissident students and Buddhists claim "rigged" the election to legalize the present military regime.

Continued from page 1 dropping out "because of a nervous breakdown." He said his father was a federal fire arms agent, that he had been chased in six states, and had worked in a Negro ghetto for a Catholic group who kept him alive. He said he would die in a week at Haight-Ashbury.
"Most people think you're a 'Nark' (narcotics officer) when you take pictures. Everybody here wasn't too bad about it."
I had seen him photograph a group of high school boys who seemed a little uncooperative. They said they were from the "Eudora Hippie Colony."
"There's a lot more heads here than I thought there were," he said. "I'm surprised to see the hard core here."
Teeny-bopner
Noticing one girl in white lace and silver stockings, he said. "There's two classes—teeny-bop-

pers and hard core. She's dressed up—a teeny-bopper."
"It looks like a concert," said one. "They don't really get loose and let everything hang out. They will some day."
I knew something was soon to happen, because I overheard the singer in polka dot pants tell a war-painted girl she could drive home because he would be "soaking wet."
And he did jump in the lake. It did not seem unusual, after half the crowd had snake-danced, played ring-around-the-rosy and staged a mock-burial.
STP sticker
Against a red-and-white "welcome" sign, and a multi-color kaleidoscope with an eye at its center, Greg Guckert played his
lead guitar. It had an STP sticker on it (the hallucinatory drug, not the motor oil). Four-foot balloons waved in front of him.
An announcer invited everyone to come to a be-in after the Kansas Relays, and beseeded them to "be nice" to Union director Frank Burge when they "see him on the street." Burge turned on the electricity the band "had not made reservations for."
I was offered some watermelon, complimentals of "the Lawrence diggers," but preferred to look over a sign hanging from a tree. It advertised alleged Lawrence marijuana on a road map marked with grass thatches.
A few of the "gentle people" almost hit me with a crab apple from that tree as they fought near it.
And after it was all over and they were left in peace, one couple finally started loving.
