For one thing, Ho Chi Minh
and the other Communists who
lead the Vietminh rebellion are
fighting the war on three fronts
- military, political and psycho-
logical. On the other side, the
French and Vietnamese up to
now ’have been waging only a
military war, with little atten-

Ho directs powerful propagan-

counter it. Ho’s iron discipline,
his rigid control and his total

Even the French those who

strong grip on the imaginations
j of a large number of illiterate,
j landless peasants and even on in-
tellectuals outside the areas he
controls. The Vietnamese masses
know nothing about the global
war b etween democracy and
Communism. To many of them.
Ho is a nationalist, a patriot who
is going to drive out the foreign-
er and who is going to give them
land.
In free Viet Nam there is no
cohesive force, no bandwagon, no
ideal, no leader who can capture
the imagination of a whole peo-

The scuffle occurred as Parr
waited in the courthouse for a
hearing on a charge of carrying
a pistol illegally near a meeting
of his political opposition, the
Freedom party, on Jan. 16.
The meeting was held in Jim
Wells county.
Parr denied the charge. He
said he was carrying binoclulars, -
trying to see who was at the,
meeting.
Duval county and Parr have
been the target of state and fed-

months. The state probed use of
