Election shifts to high gear
Nixon
NEW YORK (UPI)-Richard M. Nixon Sunday, advocated "small unit action" in Vietnam as a good way to shift more of the fighting to the South Vietnamese and to start "de-Americanization" of the war.
By inference, he rejected Viet Cong participation in any coalition government in Saigon. At the same time, he said he hoped the Soveit Union would "recognize its own self-interest in ending the Vietnam War" and would apply pressure on Hanoi, including a possible cutoff of arms supplies.
Nixon's comments were in reply to questions posed by the New Republic and were published in the magazine's latest issue. The Republican presidential nominee spent yesterday in his New York apartment, resting and preparing for the final two weeks of his campaign.
In a network CBS radio speech taped for last night, Nixon proposed that the federal government provide aid to children attending private schools. He did not spell out what type of federal help he favored or how recipients would be selected.

Asked about school desegregation, Nixon said in his magazine interview that he opposed "using the threat of withdrawing federal funds to force a local school board to balance its schools racially, by bussing children all over a city, for instance."
But he said federal funds should be withheld "in the case of a deliberate policy of segregation."
He added: "It would be unrealistic for me to expect a very high percentage of the black vote in this election. But we will get a respectable share, I believe."
Oppose Coalition
The former vice president declared his opposition to "imposition of a coalition government on South Vietnam."
At the same time, he said, "I would favor allowing anyone regardless of present political affiliation—who rejects the use of violence and terror as a means of political change to vote and to participate in the government."
Militarily in Vietnam, Nixon said, "small unit action . . . can be waged more effectively, with fewer men, and at less cost.
"It is something that should have been emphasized a long time ago," he said.
"This is also the type of warfare which can be waged effectively by South Vietnamese units...and as South Vietnamese units become proficient in executing these tasks and in defending both rural and urban population centers, the de-Americanization of the war can begin."
Nixon's radio speech was the fifth of 10 on major issues which he plans to make on successive nights.

Humphrey
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey said yesterday the current lull in fighting in South Vietnam "has some significance" and should be a factor in the U.S. decision on whether to stop the bombing of North Vietnam.
The Democratic presidential candidate also said the final decision on bombing was for the United States to make, and the Siagon government should "exercise no veto."
In a broadcast interview, Face the Nation on CBS, Humphrey said the decline in large scale fighting in the South during recent weeks "has some significance and it surely ought to be taken into account" by the administration when a decision is made on the bombing.
But he emphasized later that this view was his own and he was not trying to "substitute my advice" for that of President Johnson.
Sharp On Thieu
Asked if he thought there should be a change of government in South Vietnam, Humphrey said he did not think the American people would tolerate a coup to oust the present leadership.
"President Thieu speaks for himself when it comes to the matter of bombing or not bombing," Humphrey said. "This is particularly an American mission. President Thieu should exercise no veto. This is a decision that should be made by the United States."
Humphrey spoke somewhat sharply of South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu's recent remarks that the bombing should be continued until there is a reciprocal gesture from the Hanoi government.
"We've borne a heavy burden in this war," Humphrey said. "We've bought time for the South Vietnamese. I hope the leaders of all groups, not just President Thieu, will understand that the American people have been faithful to the point of pain."
He expressed hope South Vietnam would "exercise great cooperation" in the coming weeks.
"We've been fighting for representative government," Humphrey said. "Coups are out of style as far as American policy is concerned."
During the interview, Humphrey again chided Republican candidate Richard M. Nixon for refusing to debate him and to appear on similar nationwide television interviews. The moderator of the program, Martin Apronsky, noted that Nixon had been invited to appear next Sunday but declined.
BEARWOOD, England (UPI)
—World War I veteran Thomas Landreth, 71, was a bit surprised when he read in a magazine article about his "heroic death" during the battle of St. Quentin in 1917. He wrote to the editors of the Worcestershire Regimental Magazine asking them "to resurrect me."
Exaggerated Report
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Presidential candidate George C. Wallace said Sunday the North Vietnamese have taken advantage of restricted U.S. bombing to make a "very significant" buildup in supplies, indicating plans for increased Communist military activity.

Wallace said his vice presidential running mate, retired Gen. Curtis LeMay, informed him of the buildup on his return Sunday morning from a four-day visit to Vietnam. The two conferred for an hour and 45 minutes before Wallace appeared on a broadcast interview, NBC's Meet the Press.

Wallace said he had time for only a short briefing from Le-May but added, "He does say there is a very significant buildup of material and supplies coming from the Chinese border to the 19th parallel," above which all bombing has been stopped.

The former Alabama governor said the Communists are able to move supplies from China to the 19th parallel in six to eight days, whereas it took 100 days before the bombing restrictions were ordered by President Johnson.
"The buildup at the 19th parallel indicates they are thinking about further military operations." Wallace said LeMay told him.

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Sen. Edmund S. Muskie accused Richard M. Nixon yesterday of "trying to play both ends against the middle" by courting Southern segregationists with one line and Northern liberals with another.

The same stories, the Democratic vice presidential nominee said, stated that Thurmond "speaks for Nixon's throughout the South.
In a broadcast interview, ABC's Issues and Answers, Muskie read newspaper clippings quoting Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., as saying "I have no argument with the third-party candidate." George C. Wallace.

"... Now Mr. Nixon is trying to play both ends against the middle," Muskie said. "In the South he is trying to take advantage of the kind of support offered by Strom Thurmond. In the North, Mr. Nixon speaks another philosophy."
He added that LeMay "doesn't think those in Paris are negotiating in good faith—that is the North Vietnamese.
Wallace said he would not favor a bombing halt unless the North Vietnamese made immediate public concessions. He objected to talk of "unannounced concessions" by North Vietnam. "I think any concessions ought to be made public to the American people and to the people of the world," he said.
