Dr. Stephen T. Hosmer of the RAND Corporation, an authority on Southeast Asia, told his audi ence that United States prestige, security, and faith are "on the line" in Southeast Asia. Dr. Hosmer, pointing to the strategic location of Southeast Asia and to its important re sources, said, "Today the United States is facing a major Commu nist challenge in Southeast Asia, and that area is rapidly becoming the major battleground in the East - West confrontation. The stakes are very high." Basic Strategy After analyzing factors which make the Communist challenge so difficult to meet in this unstable area of the world, Dr. Hosmer turned his attention to a major pincers movement which, he said, is being employed as the basic Communist strategy today. One arm of the pincers move ment, he said, is the military guerrilla threat under way in South Vietnam. Dr. Hosmer de scribed the three major tactics be ing employed by the Communists in South Vietnam, the embattled country w h e r e thousands of American servicemen are stationed -the use of military force, the use of terror, and political action. "Terror is a major instrument of the Communist guerrillas," he saidl. "They select government of ficials and pro-government lead ers for murder and kidnapping, hlow Spea ringfellow, honor graduate of is devoted his life to serving zens, will be on the campus I 'eek. by the Carolina Religious (< Iress the student body at the o~ at 7 :30 p.ml.

They depend Sa upon peasants for food, recruits rm and information, and cannot af- Be ford to allow themselves to be cut off from this vital source of sup ply." 1 The gue-rilla warfare strategy n Vietnam draws its inspiration from the Chinese revolutionary k model of Mao Tse-tung, Dr. Hos mer said. The United States is aiding the Vietnamese government to counter this strategy with mili tary advisors and equipment, but go the operation will be long and sip difficult, he said, and "much de- orl pends on the outcome." I Loss of Vietnam tio Dr. Hosmer said the loss of tht Vietnam w o u l d discredit the evi United States among Asian and wo other countries by casting doubt me lupon our ability to defend them av< against Communist advances. The other pincer of the giant ifit Communist threat, Dr. Hosner ing saidl, is symbolized by the mami- ter moth political action program of wr the Communists in Indonesia. wo This program combines the tac- Th tics of the Indonesian Communist an' Party -largest Communist party a outside the Iron Curtain - with sig the economic and military induce- me (Continued on page 8) B3 -- tii sor en :ks Here H-arvardl Lawv p)ennfiless New g or a series of Russell House ednesdlay His ng the undler Igradluates in 'ollege he was to Phi Beta Tr. ce.
