last week near NW 34 and In-
pressed hope that the idea
would be taken up in week-
end talks among delegates
on what kind of resolution
the council might adopt.
A Canadian source said
that by intermediary Canada
meant a country rather than
an individual. He said the
idea was to have one or
more countries acceptable to
both North Korea and the
United States try to settle
things.
Some delegates expressed
belief that a resolution along
those lines, sponsored by
' some delegation other than
the United States, was prob-
ably the only kind that would
stand a chance of passing.
Course Called Preferable

Goldberg told the council
danger to international
peace “will be removed only
if action is taken forthwith to
secure the release of the U.
S. S. Pueblo and its 83-man
crew and to bring to an end
the pattern of armed trans-
gressions by North Korean
against the Republic of Ko-
rea.”
‘‘This course Is far more
preferable to other remedies
which the charter reserves
to member states,” Goldberg
said, referring to the right of
Individual or collective

Morozov said "the main
source of tension" was the
presence of U. S. forces In
South Korcu and "the real
danger" lay in some South
Koreans’ hopes for a "new
military aggression" against
North Korea.

tored in Tokyo, said the pilots "had shown a repentant
attitude during the period of detention" and were being
set free in connection with the Tet lunar new year. The
agency did not Identify the pilots.
No captured pilots have ever before been turned free.
More than 100 U. S. airmen are known to hnvc been
captured during the air campaign over North Vietnam.
Another 400 are listed as missing and a number nf these
are presumed raptured.

nounced Saturday that 53 political and other prisoners —
many of them Viet Cong suspects — will he released and
Ihe terms of 334 others shortened, to commemorate the
new year.

‘Come on Over to Vietnam, Dad...9
BIEN HOA. Vietnam (AP) - "The kid
here wrote and said he thought it might not be
a bad Idea If I came over for a visit," 58-
year-old Edmund H. Fuchs. El Reno, said Sat-
urday.
"I thought it might not be a bad idea my-
self. So here lam."
"The kid," as his father calls him. Is MaJ.
Edmund L. Fuchs, 35, a veteran of 16 years
military service and now maintenance officer
of the 145th Aviation Battalion. The younger
Fuchs (pronounced "fox") Is In the midst of
his second one-year tour In Vietnam. His wife
and three children live in El Reno.
His father served 31 years In the army and
retired In 1949 as a warrant officer.
Fuchs, who is now a barber in El Reno,
left home January 15 and went first to Honolu-
lu, where he was held over six days awaiting a
plane seat, then to Okinawa where he spent a
few days with a nephew, air force Capt. James
D. Fuchs of Mena, Ark. Then he flew to Hong
Kong and finally to Saigon.
"We've got a family all over the world,"
MaJ. Fuchs Joked. "We can travel across the
United States and around the world and hardly
spend a dollar for a hotel room."
This Is not the first, time Fuchs has trav-
eled great distances to visit his son. ln 1963 he
and his wife visited the major In Pakistan and
returned home via the Orient. "Matter of
fact," said the father, "we stopped In Saigon
for refueling, but this is the first time I'm real-
ly getting to sec Vietnam."
MaJ. Fuchs’ commanding officer, Col. Rob-
ert M. Dents, of Broken Arrow, said, "When I
first heard about It, I said, 'Your whal Is com-
ing for a visit?' But we're glad to have Mr.
Fuchs here. I don’t know what 1 would have
done though If It was the major's mother in-
slead nf his father."
Asked what he thought of his son volun-
teering for a second tour ln Vietnam, Fuchs re-
plied. "He’s a professional soldier and Just ns
the United Stales is here heenuse we have to
be, he's here for the same reason, doing what
has to he done."
