Goldberg said after consulting Washington, he asked the UN secretariat to find out who the NLF representatives were, what kind of passports they would have, what kind of visas. they wanted, what the purpose. of their visit would be and whether talks with the U.S. government were intended. Early in November, he said, the answers came back that two men were involved, that their names be given later, that their passports would be North Viet- namese, that stay in New York one year and Fulbright Accuses U.S. Of Destroying Vietnam WASHINGTON (Reuters) --/|policy neither set the intended Senator J. W. Fulbright said today 'that all American effort in Vietnam has proved so far is that the United States is "tunable to suppress this particular war of national liberation" and that the U.S. is willing "'to turn a small country into a charne] house." Fulbright, chairman of the Senate foreign relations com- mittee and a critic of the John- son administration's Vietnam policy, said in a Senate address that millions of people every- where felt natural sympathy for the Vietnamese derived satisfaction from the failure of an "overbearing" United States. He said President Johnson's Battered Cong Battalion Pursued By SAIGON (AP) -- U.S. troops riding helicopter gunships today pursued a battered North Viet- namese battalion that left 25 per cent of its soldiers dead on the sparse coastal dunes of Binh Dinh province in South Viet- nam. American officers said the battalion of 600 North Viet- namese regulars had lost 159 dead, which did not cover fight- ing in the last 24 hours.

Alphonse Ouimet, a pioneer in Canadian broadcasting who has guided the often beleaguered CBC for 15 years, will step down as chief of the Crown-owned corporation next Friday. Acceptance of Mr, Ouimet's resignation was announced Thursday by Prime Minister Pearson who had written the 59-year-old executive "that the government, and I in particular, are most grateful to you for the untiring, unselfish and experi- enced service you have given to Canada... ." Mr. Ouimet had announced more than a year ago that he wanted to resign to return to private life but agreed to stay on until the government's new broadcasting - legislatidn was passed by Parliament. He wrote the prime minister that he had expected the bill, before the Commons now, to be passed early in 1967 and suggest- ed that if it were not dealt with by Dec. 15 an acting CBC chief could be named. Mr. Pearson has said he was finding it difficult to find a suc- cessor for Mr. Ouimet and spec- ulation on who it will be has been considerable. Mr. Ouimet, 33 years in broadcasting, often has been the centre of controversy as MPs complained about CBC opera- tions and their cost. HEADS CLASH One of the more explosive CBC controversies developed after a charge of '"'rotten man- agement" levelled by State Sec- retary Judy LaMarsh Nov. 1 on the Pierre Berton show, a daily television program carried by a number of stations in Canada. Miss LaMarsh reports to Par- liament for the CBC. Mr. Ouimet's resignation let- ter, dated Nov. 23, recalled that he had'asked Mr. Pearson in the spring to name a successor "as soon as he could be appoint- ed."' "We are now approaching the end of the year and I hope you will understand my desire to set a definite date on which I could plan my future activities." Mr. Ouimet was.in charge of engineering before being. ap- pointed CBC assistant general manager in 1951. In 1953 he be- came general manager and in 1958 president as well. Mr. Pearson said last August he hoped to name a successor for the $40,000-a-year job before the broadcasting legislation passed the commissions, but an- nounced later he would wait until it had been dealt with. lll.
