Republicans LBJ Answers WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presi- dent Johnson answered a Re- publican charge that Demo- cratic administrations are re- sponsible for the U.S. position in Viet Nam with the assertion today that he has had "'excel- lent co-operation" from Repub-| lican leaders in fighting the war. So far as he is concerned, the|' president, a Democrat, told a press conference, he doesn't know what party is involved when he draws upon officials for advice in the conflict. "The issues of war and peace are far greater than the person- alities involved, or the parties," he said. Johnson went on to say that he welcomes the expression of different viewpoints on Viet cement War, GOP Attack Nam. He said people don't al- ways see things alike and at times this can add to the coun- try's strength. But he said North Viet Nam ought not to make the mistake of believing the U.S. is divided. As-for peace hopes, he said United Nations Ambassador Goldberg is doing everything as | "our left hand" for peace while Defence Secretary Robert Ss. McNamara is using hand" in combat. "Peace, that simple little five- letter word, is the most impor- tant word to us in the English language at this time.

Mrs. Alice Clements, 40, one of the hostages, commented after the 13-hour drama ended Tuesday that the two men were "just a couple of scared kids." Charged with kidnapping and robbery were James. R. Gour- lay, 21, of Detroit, and John D. Colvan, 20, Hudson Falls, N.Y. Both told officers they are army enlisted men. The two had planned to try to escape across the Nevada desert on horseback, but appar- ently changed their mind after saddled horses were brought to the farmhouse for-them by a Lyon County deputy sheriff. The men had threatened to harm the hostages if the horses weren't made ready.

In a letter to Justice Minis- ter Cardin, Dr. Marcoux said Socred Re-Voices Demand For 'Support-Offer' Probe 12, 1963, assuring the Liberals of the support of the six Social Credit MPs.

Dr. Marcoux, in his original telegram to Ottawa last week, said Darabaner's signature ap- peared on a document sent to Prime Minister Pearson and Governor-General Vanier April Darab played in "the affair of the six." He did not say what steps this would involve. The Social Credit MP said he was making his letter to Mr. Cardin available to the press because he himself had been informed of Mr. Cardin's Mon- day decision by newspaper men. VICTORIA (CP) -- Six elderly Roman Catholic nuns have been told their operation of an janimal shelter west of here is inconsistent with their religious Ows, | Mother Cecilia Mary and her Sisters of the Love of Jesus are ordered by the church to turn the Shelter of the Good Shep- herd over to someone else or face loss of their status as nuns, But mother Cecilia, who founded both the order and the shelter, declared: "I'll die on the battlefield, but I'm _ not ready yet." The 76-year-old nun's stand leaves the next move up to Rome, said Most. Rev. Remi De Roo, Bishop of Victoria. The bishop said the deadline for compliance has already passed. Last April, the church gave Mother Cecilia and the five sisters until May 4 to leave Nuns Told: 'Close Shelter' But Mother Cecilia Balks the shelter and return to their Benedictine priory. The order, delivered Monday night by Msgr. M. T. O'Con- nell, chancellor of Victoria dio- cese, and Rev. Andrew Keber of Mission City, B.C., was from the church's apostolic delegate in Ottawa, Most Rev. Sergio: Pigenedoli. It said the growth, health and spiritual welfare of the or- der is the prime concern of the Vatican. "If any one of them refuses to obey in this matter, then ec- clesiastical consider their official status in the church as sisters."

Except for one sentence in English, the Progressive Con- servative leader spoke entirely in French, outlining points of his party's agricultural plat- form for the next election, as he has done in other stops in his tour of Quebec's Eastern Townships. He promised that a Progres- sive Conservative government would assure dairy farmers of prices as close as possible to $4 a hundredweight for milk. During a day spent chatting with or addressing groups of farmers in this part of the Eastern Townships, Mr. Diefen- baker promised: 1 .Removal of the 11-per-cent federal sales tax on building materials and farm and pro- duction machinery. 2.

Negroes' Plight Worsening Varying versions have appeared recently on how Lyndon B. Johnson was se- lected as John F. Kennedy's running mate in 1960 and the role Robert F. Kennedy played at that time. In this this exclusve interview, the New York senator an- swers questions about John- son's selection and gives his views on U.S. policies in Viet Nam and the future of the civil rights move- ment. By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP) --Sen- ator Robert F. Kennedy says there was never any disagree- ment .between him and Pres- ident John F, Kennedy over the desirability of having Lyndon B. Johnson on the 1960 Demo- cratic ticket. Kennedy said in an Associ- ated Press interview that at the direction of his brother he informed Johnson at the Los Angeles Democratic na- tional convention that opposi- tion to the latter's nomination had arisen in liberal and labor ranks, However, the New York Dem- ocrat disputed the contention of a memorandum of Philip Graham, late publisher of the Washington Post and chairman of Newsweek magazine. The Graham memorandum said Robert Kennedy told Johnson he should withdraw but John Kennedy said that was a mis- take because Bobby's been out of touch." Robert Kennedy said: "Any- one who knows the relationship between President Kennedy and myself would know that doesn't make a great deal of sense. The idea that I would go behind my brother' 8 back doesn't make sense.' On other subjects, said: : --President Kennedy had great confidence in State Sec- retary Dean Rusk But the senator declined comment on published reports that the president intended to replace Rusk after the 1964 elections. --The war in Viet Nam is not going to be won by military action but by political action which will gain the support of the people there. --The civil rights problem in the U.S. north is more com- plex than in the south. And there may be more violence before it is solved. Here are some questions and answers: Q. You have said President Kennedy wanted Johnson as his cunning mate in 1960 because Kennedy he was 'the best man to carry on." Did you agree at the time with that assessment? A. Yes, I did. Q. Are we following the right course in Viet Nam? A. I support the effort that's being made in Viet Nam by Rresident Johnson. If the effort in Viet Nam becomes merely a military effort, we shall win some of the battles, but we will lose the over-all struggle. he people of Viet Nam need to feel that their future should rest with Saigon and not Hanoi. We need to give them secur- ity--that is going to require po- lice and military action--but at the same time social, political, economic, educational, agricul- ture progress has to be made for the peasants of that tragic land. And we need to do much in this field. Q@. Is the civil rights move- ment entering a phase in which more violence can be expected? A. I don't think it's necessar- ily entering a new phase. It should have been anticipated that we were going to have many difficulties. I pointed this out when I was attorney-general back in 1961 and 1962 when everybody's. attention was fo- cused on the south, In many ways the north has more difficult and complex problems than the south. Solu- tions are more difficult. Fur- thermore, the makeup of the movement is far different than it is in the south. It lacks the religious over- tones and it lacks the leader- ship that the southern civil rights movement has. The. fact that the problems are more dif- ficult and complex in the north suggests more violence may oc- cur in the north, WASHINGTON (AP) -- John- son administration officials are reported to be taking a hard new look at a confidential re- port warning that distintegrat- ing Negro family life threatens a racial crisis throughout the U.S. The report, made available to The Associated Press, says that despite recent civil rights legislation the social and eco- nomic plight of most Negroes appears to be getting worse in- stead of better, particularly in big-city ghettos. It says the root of the trou- ble is that three centuries of slavery and discrimination have robbed the 'Negro male of his sense of manhood, leading to a crumbling family structure. The report, prepared by the labor department's office of policy planning and research and dated last March, has not Confidential Report Shows But President Johnson quoted extensively from it last June in announcing a White House conference for Noveme ber aimed at helping Negroes "4. get their rights. The report describes current Negro unrestas_no_less_impof. tant than the original American Revolution and says it may be crucial to whether the countries of the world eventually divide along color lines. In documenting the break- down in Negro family struc- ture, the report cites govern- ment figures showing that nearly 25 per cent of all Negro births are illegitimate, com- pared with four per cent. for whites. Similarly, about 25 per cent of all married Negro women' are divorced or separated from their husbands, eompared with about eight per cent for white been made public officially. women, DELHI, Ont.
