FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said in Washington that the men had tried. to bribe two Miami, Fla., engineers to destroy the bridge, located on the main rail route used to ship copper from the landlocked Commonwealth country. iin RULE PLOT FOILED The two arrested were identi. fied as Rolf Duenbier, 36, vi e- president and New York mana- ger of a West German metals firm, and Jay Aubrey Elliott, 31, a travelling representative for the same concern. Investigators noted that world copper prices fell almost 50 per cent from Apvil to August this year, although there has been some recovery recently. They appeared to be exploring two theories on the alleged plot. The price decline hurts specu- -Fbl lators dealing in futures con- tracts, for they can re-sell only at a loss when taking delivery now at the old high price. Cut- ting off the copper supply from Zambia, the free world's larg- est exporter of the metal, would raise prices sharply. This would enable the futures speculator to make up his apparent losses. The second way to benefit from such a price rise would be to. have advance knowledge it 'was coming, and buy now at the low price for later selling.

Cong Eludes Yanks By BOB GASSAWAY SAIGON (AP)--A large Viet Cong force eluded pursuing U.S. infantry today, slipping away through the dense jungle of Tay Ninh province near the Cambodian border after inflict- ing heavy casualties on some U.S. units during the weekend in one of the fiercest fights of the war. About 200 South Vietnamese milita, aided by accurate artil- lery support, beat off a daylight attack by -400 to 500 Commu- fists on a government post 12 miles southeast of Quang Ngai, on the central coast. A South Vietnamese spokesman said the enemy left 30 bodies on the bat tlefield, while only two militia- imien were wounded. Th: new operations were announced, two by American forces and one by South Vietnamese battalions. A U.S. military spokesman reported "absolutely no © con- tact' in Tay Ninh province some 50 miles northwest of Saigon where about 10,000 American infantry were seek- ing -to box in a Viet Cong regi- ment of 2,000 men. The Saigon spokesman said 319 enemy bodies have been counted in the area where hard fighting lasted for four days through Sunday night.

DOVES FARE BADLY War Is Worry, Not Issue By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON -- (Special)-- Tomorrow Americans go to the polls to choose their next con- gress, after a mid - term elect- ion campaign, more remark- able for what was hot said than what was. Vietnam is the problem loom- ing biggest in most minds. Pres- ident Johnson chose to do the bulk o fhis campaigning out there, yet except in Oregon and New Hampshire, the war has barely. been discussed. as an election issue. Nobody likes. the war, but nobody knows what to do about it. LBJ tried to. galvanise the election into voting Democratic in order to show the commun- ists Americans were behind their President and would net weaken. Viewed coldly, a long way from the battlefields, it was a seditious argument, worthy of some southern demagogue. This third largest foreign war in American history has not been sanctified by any declar- ation of war by congress, nor is it a popular patriotic cause NO EXCITEMENT Mr. Johnson's efforts on his 17 - day tour of the. Far East, including his afternoon' with the troops at well - guarded Cam Ranh Bay in South Vietnam, kept the domestic election cam- paign off the banner headlines, but failed to excite the voters. They are disturbed and un- easy about Vietnam and, most frustrating, feel their votes will not help that affair one way or the other. Most of the anti- war feeling is within Johnson's own party. The Republicans, by and large, support Johnson. In the far West Republican Governor Mark Hatfield of Ore- gon is running for a _ senate seat vacated by a Republican on a dovish, anti - Vietnam platform, and not doing: too well. His Democratic opponent goes all the way and a bit further with LBJ. Yet in New Hampshire, the Republican candidate for the senate is the hawk of hawks, retired SAC airforce General Harrison Thyng, who figures he id end the war in 19 days with sufficient aerial bombs. Otherwise Vietnam has been a general malaise, not an issue. It is too soon to predict the effects of Johnson's last min- ute sweep across the nation and his folksy stories about life in the foxholes, From impressions gained on a cross - country tour last week I would say many Americans dismiss Johnson's appeal to elect Democrats on patriotic grounds as pure bun- kum, If patriotism is a desire to send more ,boys overseas and drop more bombs on alien jungles, then the Republicans are the patriotic party, MAIN ISSUE The big issue is the White backlash vote. This has expand- ed from the discontent of the lower middleclass and laborers, threatened by the Negro revo- lution, to a general discontent with everything. This will ob- viously benefit th eparty out of power. The backlash' in Chicago is likely to whip Senator Paul Douglas, veteran old - fashioned Liberal Democratic who is fac- ing the first and undoubtedly the last real challenge of his political career in Oharles Percy, an equally Liberal Re- publican, Douglas's. biggest drawback is his 'age (74 com- pared to Percy's 47) and a ten- dencey to dooder, but:he also faces discontent with the ven- erable Chicago Democratic ma- chine operated by Mayor Rich- ard Daley, discontent with John- son over Civil, Rights Act, fear of more Negro riots and gen- eral fedupness, all of which mil- itates against the man who has been in the senate for 18 years. In California, actor Ronald Reagan, a Goldwaterite, who appeals to the backlash vote even though he says it doesn't exist, is. well ahead of Dem- ocratic Governor Pat Brown in the struggle to control the nat- ion's biggest, richest state. If Reagan wins: we can bid farewell to Barry Goldwater, The actor plays his part much better that he ever could. ..» Mrs, Wallace's CONTINUED ON PAGE 7 by the angry crowd, More than 70 policemen were among the injured.
