Washington firm on bomb policy
From the wires of United Press International
U. S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg restated to the U.N. General Assembly Thursday the Johnson administration's basic position on a de-escalation in the Vietnam war.
Any halt in the American bombing of North Vietnam, Goldberg said, must be met by proof from Hanoi that it wants to end the conflict.
In somewhat conciliatory tones, Goldberg asked Hanoi to indicate its intentions should Washington halt the bombing as a step toward negotiations. Washington officials would not concede that the milder wording in Goldberg's presentation indicated that the President was abandoning his intention to get some form of reciprocal leveling off of Communist military action in return for a bombing pause.
Saigon police held Thanh
Saigon police handcuffed former South Vietnamese Economics Minister Au Truong Thanh and hustled the former presidential peace candidate to headquarters today for interrogation on suspicions of having "liaison" with the Communists.
Police Director Brig. Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan said a captured Viet Cong had "confessed" that Thanh had some liaison with the Communists. Loan also said he wanted to question Thanh about Thanh's request for a visa to travel to the U.S.
Thanh, who resigned from the government last year in protest over Loan's "police state tactics," was barred from running for president in the Sept. 3 elections because the police said he had "a tendency toward communism." Thanh filed to run for president as a peace candidate on a platform advocating "no more bombing," a cease-fire, and negotiations to end the Vietnamese war.
His name was stricken from the ballot when police charged he was pro-Communist.
"I strongly protest against what has happened to me," Thanh said. "It is illegal and unconstitutional. If this can happen in Saigon in broad daylight, what do you think happens to the peasants in the countryside?"
Thanh, once praised by American officials for his work in fighting inflation in South Vietnam, said, "Americans are fighting for freedom and democracy here, but where is freedom and democracy?"
