The national newspaper eye was
-ocused on Carolina as last week's
"Gamecock" editorial c o m m e n t
was carried in local and out-of
state media.
Newspapers, television and radio
carried excerpts from Editor Joan
Wolcott's verbal stand against
violence as a solution for at
tempted integration.
Civic Center
Is Discussed
A new civic center for Columbia,
yes or no? This is the decision
which voters will be faced with
in the November 6 election.
At a meeting held Tuesday
afternoon in the Russell House
Auditorium, the plans for the pro
posed Richland County Civic Cen
ter were outlined with the use of
slides.
Dave Ellison, chairman of the
Richland County Delegation, andi
Mrs. Raymond Moore, a member
of the delegation, spoke to the
group encouraging support for
the new center. Lou Ingram,
spokesman for those against the
Sproposed center, explained reasons
why the bond issue should not be<
passed.
The purpose of the center is to
provide competition with other
centers in other states. It is a I
county project financed by bond t
issue and the estimated cost of <
the civic center is $8,900,000.i

A somber picture of a serious
Communist threat to Southeast
Asia - and in turn to the United
States - was painted Tuesday
for a near-capacity audience in
Drayton Hall.
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,

ficials." 1 ;
Close Relation yel
In describing the political action ca
programs of the Communists in fe,
S o u t h Vietnam, Dr. Hosmer
stressed the close relationship be- til
tween guerrillas and the I)eople. fol
"Guerrillas," he s a i d , "need i
access to or the supl)ort of people in(
for their survival. 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
