Among the experts, a strange mood of inevitability has re placed a previously widespread expectation that growth of in ternationalism could be safe- guarded bx a mobile United Na- tions police force patrolling the world's trouble spots. Hope for such a force is being diminished by events on two dangerous fronts: Vietnam and the Middle East. The Vietnam war now has reached the point of escalation where, in effect, the prestige and power of both the Soviet Union and China are being challenged. Air strikes, which the United States has launched directly at Hanoi, may even have the effect of reducing the Soviet-Chinese split and increasing their co- operation in providing more mil- itary assistance to the North Vietnamese. Both Communist powers un- doubtedly will find it intolerable to allow destruction of Hanoi's effectiveness. U Thant has sug- gested that a direct clash be- tween the U.S. and China is in- evitable. Other experts have suggested that the Soviet Union cannot long remain on the side- ine. : The Soviet Union would not necessarily have to strike di- rectly at the U.S. through Viet- nam. It has a choice of extend- ing and draining U.S. resources by forcing increasing U.S. inter- vention in the Middle East. The border between Israel and the United Arab Republic is tense, open and vulnerable. Both sides are ready for a test and, with the withdrawal of UN forces, clashes of increasing in- tensity are likely. The over- riding factor in terms of world peace is that if the UN cannot hold the antagonists apart there is great doubt it can do so any- where else. UN UNDERGOING TEST Effectiveness of the UN is un- dergoing a crucial test of its own. So far it has been found wanting, adding to the despond- ency of those who previously had dreamed of an expansive harmonious world community. The big powers have been pouring arms into the Middle East. The Soviet Union has given great support to President Nasser's U.A.R. forces and sin®® it would be politically difficult for President Johnson to ignore the plight of Israel, an Israeli- U.A.R. clash could precipitate big-power intervention. Once the big powers get in- volved on a world scale, the voices of the little countries could be drow,ed in the blood of war escalating into nuclear thunder. The UN, with all its shortcoming, still remains' the only effective forum where the little voices can be heard. Saigon: Ma Assault SAIGON (CP) -- Some 15,000 U.S. marines and South Vietna- mese infantry formed a giant pincers today in efforts to sweep Communist troops, heavy guns and supplies out of a southeast- ern sector of the demilitarized zone. The U.S. command said the allied force has killed 226 Com- munist troops since Thursday, while marines lost 36 killed and 290 wounded. In the air war, U.S. planes struck the closest yet to the centre of Hanoi and five navy planes were downed in a riad on an electric power plant, 1.1 miles from the heart of North Vietnam's capital. A U.S, spokesman said other navy planes shot down four MiG-17s and reported damaging a fifth. North Vietnam claimed 10 isd planes were shot down Fri- y. The North Vietnamese news agency quoted one of the downed f tified as Lt.- Cmdr. James L. Griffin, as say- ing in a recorded statement he was ordered to fly a reconnais- sance mission over Hanoi Fri- day to prepare for a future at- tack on the city centre. TAKES SHAPE The pincers formation in the demilitarized zone formed Defensive Move Argument Fails To Halt WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Johnson administration's ex- planation that a U.S. troop sweep into the South Vietnam demilitarized zone is a defen- sive move failed to halt criti- cism that the war is being es- calated. Senatorial critics voiced fears the war is being intensified to the point where an invasion of the North could be the next step. In their mind sthis would ™ NGUYEN VAN THIEU «+» enters race Crack Feared In South Unity SAIGON (AP) -- Fears of a crack in the unity of South Viet- nam's military rose today with the announcement that Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu has de- cided to run against Premier Nguyen Cao Ky in the presiden- tial elections in September. A contest between Thieu, an army lieutenant - General, and Ky, an air vice-marshal, could badly divide Saigon's military hierarchy at a time when Com- munist pressure is increasing. Ky refused to comment on the announcement of Thieu's candi- jor roughly a V with the open end on the coast of the South China Sea. About 10,000 men who had charged into the zone Thursday for the first time in the war joined in a line along the Ben Hai River--the dividing line be- tween North and South Vietnam ~--for about 15 miles inland. Another 5,000 U.S. marines pushed up from the south. The 40-mile-long zone is sup- posed to be neutral territory ex- tending about three miles on each side of the border. The pincers were aimed at trapping units of two North Viet- namese regiments between their lines and the sea. The allied forces also reported finding huge caches of enemy supplies along the Ben Hai's southern bank. Communist artillery and mor- tars, dug in deep and well camouflaged, continued to bom- bard the allied forces from pi sitions in the northern zone. There was no major ground action reported elsewhere in "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", and in keep- ing with the tradition Miss Ajax for 1967, Claudette Claereboodt (right), 18, of 504 Park Cres., Fairport, was presented with a dia- mond ring last night by Mayor Harry Smith of Ajax when she won the 1967 "Miss Ajax" contest. The CENTENN Centennial Ball at the Carousel Inn, Ajax, at which Miss Ajax was crowned was the first of many Centennial events to be held in Ajax this week- end. The history of the town will be presented in displays at the old town hall today and Monday; a pet show was held this afterrton and an outdoor dance and carni- val is scheduled tonight at the Ajax Plaza. An interdenominational church service will be conducted at the shopping centre at 3 p.m. Sunday followed by a picnic at Lakeside Park. A giant parade will be held Monday at 1:30 p.m.; and- a fireworks display will start Monday evening. At the Centennial Ball last night five judges deliber- ated for one and one-half hours before selecting Miss Ajax, who received gifts, a modelling course and a tro- phy and cup.

PETERBOROUGH (CP) -- Four men were killed today when two cars collided head-on in early-morning darkness on a highway made slippery by rain. The dead: Eric A. Smith, 22, of Peter- borough, Lewis Warner, 24, of Ancaster, Ont., Harry Windover, 27, of Toronto and William Kurt Ferro, 21, of Toronto. Smith and Warner were in one car, Windover and Ferro in the other. US. Criticism trigger Chinese intervention and could lead to a third world war. The administration has said that at this point American troops are operating only in South Vietnam's section of the demilitarized zone. Senator John Sherman Head-on Crash Kills Four Men Police said the collision oc- curred at 1 a.m. shortly after a car driven by Windover pulled out of a motel parking lot on to Highway 7 two miles east of here, They said Smith was driv- ing the other car. There was no immediate ex- planation for the crash, which wrecked both vehicles. They col- lided on a straight stretch of the Ihighway about 400 yards from ithe motel. Cooper, who recently proposed restricting the bombing of North Vietnam, said although the ac- tion might be justified from a military viewpoint because of Communist violation of the DMZ, "'it's an escalation." SURPRISED SENATOR Senator Jack Miller, a John- son policy backer who has vis- ited Vietnam, said in a separate interview: "I'm only surprised that it didn't happen a long time 0 " . In U.S. Auto DETROIT (AP) -- General Motors told shareholders Friday the U.S. auto sales market is showing renewed strength after a first-quarter sag. Frederic G. Donner, GM board chairman, and President James M. Roche delivered their state - of - the - company messages at GM's annual meet- ing. Their reports, issued a day after Henry Ford II made his report to Ford stockholders, did not mention many of the prob- lems which Ford said faced the auto industry. They also omitted mention of forthcoming negotiations with the United Auto Workers, made Miller, Iowa Republican who won Senate confirmation Friday as a reserve brigadier-general, supported the contention of Rob- ert McCloskey, state depart- ment press officer, that the U.S.-South Vietnamese ground action was a search-and-destroy operation to counter a buildup in North Vietnamese forces. President Johnson was under- stood to have approved the DMZ invasion several days ago. He said nothing about it, however, at a Thursday press conference. Renewed Strength Shown Sales Market, no mention of any price in- creases on 1968 cars and mini- mized GM's problems in meet- ing the U.S. government's new auto safety standards. SAYS CARS SAFE Roche said of the safety is- sue: "Our cars today are the safest we have ever built. We design into our products a care- fully balanced combination of safety, performance, reliability and economy. The customer wants an attractive and com- fortable car. "Unless these objectives can be met, the alternative is re- stricted mobility which I am confident no one is willing to accept."

QUEEN VICTORIA'S HOLIDAY HIGHEST EVER TRAFFIC TOLL FEARED Fireworks, Pageants And, Of Course, Expo! Gacy, f By THE CANADIAN PRESS Transportation routes to Montreal were busy today as Canadians took advantage of the three - day Victoria Day weekend and headed for Expo 67. The CNR added two extra trains and Air Canada booked 21 extra flights on its Toronto- Montreal run. Bus companies said record crowds were trying to make reservations for Montreal, Safety officials have pre- dicted that more than 100 per- sons. will die accidentally dur- ing the weekend as motorists stream from cities and towns to the countryside. The traffic death toll will be the highest ever for a Victoria Day weekend "unless Canadian 4 motorists. accept the responsi- bility to drive as they know they should," the Canadian Highway Traffic Council warned. TOP 1966 RECORD? Last year's traffic toll of 79 was a record for the weekend. Traditional fireworks displays and athletic meets have been scheduled in communities across the country. Schools and stores 'will remain open as usual in Quebec City Monday, but the city will set off a 2i-gun salute. There will be a similar salute in Montreal. Celebrations in Ottawa will centre on a mammoth pageant by some 500 students, kicking off a summer-long program of events designed to keep Parlia- } ment Hill a lively place for tourists. A 360-voice massed choir will present music in both English and French. Marching student bands will be accompanied by 175 flag bearers. In _ the Maritimes, where warm, sunny weather has been predicted for the latter part of the weekend, the main attrac- tion is sporting events. In Newfoundland, Victoria Day marks the opening day of the week-long Dominion Drama Festival national finals. One disappointing aspect for Maritimers was the announce- ment Friday that the ferry serv- ice between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, a popu- lar trip for holidayers, would probably be unable to operate during the weekend because of ice in the Northumberland Strait. A giant fireworks display at Winnipeg Stadium will cap off the weekend in that city. Manitoba was told to look for- ward to below-normal tempera- tures, but Saskatchewan and Alberta are expected to have excellent weather with sunny skies throughout the weekend.
