Maneuvering IbeMnd the. Ky decision by FRANK MANKIEWICZ and TQM BRAD EN Despite Appearances to the ' contrary and some careful White House news management, the deal by which South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky agreed not to attend the vic tory march in Washington was carefully worked out in advance. President Nixon and his aides had always feared a Ky visit, particularly before a national election in which the President's skill at Vietnam&ation is counted on as the Republican trump card.

The Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) is one of the most powerful student movements in the United States. In ten short years they have become a force to be reckoned with on many cam puses. The Left may not like, the YAF,, but they respect it . Sad to say this is not the case at our university. Here YAF under the leadership of Terry' Cannon commands neither popularity nor respect. Despite the many fine mebers of the local YAF group, Terry's leadership constitutes an albatross around the neck of YAF members in particular and the conservative move- ment in general.

Here's Johnny': Restaurant Close to Campus !7th and N MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, Is that Mr. Nixon is an ap peaser, was too much to con template. Ky, however, was prepared to go ahead, until it became clear that he would be con fronted from his arrival with two charges of personal cor ruption on a grand scale, by him, his family and his associates. Indeed, when several of the revelations ap peared in this column last week, South Vietnam's Foreign Minister, Tran Van Do, who was in Washington canceled a press conference at the Na tional Press Club and his em bassy announced he had left unexpectedly for Paris. He had, however, merely holed up in communicado in Wasington shook to its foundations by the announcement of a BUTTON CAMPAIGN! designed to repudicate violence, the Nev? Left, radicalism, syphilis, and all manner of evil plaguing contemporary collegians. But I was not so moved. Consider, if you will the daily spectacle of our button pusher, Terry Cannon, as he trudges into the Union to peddle his wares at his little booth. Mr. Cannon sells buttons. There are magenta buttons, amytal-blue buttons, all kinds of buttons. Anybody want to buy a but ton? Now these activities may constitute some sort of useful political expression, but this writer fails to see any usefulness in the whole business. Can t the YAF do better than this? 1970 while strategy talks about Ky's visit went on. South Vietnam's Ambassador Bui Diem, after cable ex changes with Ky in Paris and conversations with sources high in the White House, then left for Paris with the deal worked out and with hostile material (including ours) in his brief case for additional ammuni tion. The deal, as it was finally concluded, called for Ky to agree not to come to the vic tory rally, in return for a state visit after the election. But it was made clear to Ky that this would not be an ordinary state visit it would be at the vice presidential level all the way. No state dinner at the White House, no private two hours with President Nixon just Spiro Agnew. f i i i Now a vice presidential-level state visit is something new in our history, and the Protocol Office has no ; precedent.

He will ride in a used Buick rather than a Cadillac, and the motorcade will detour Pennsylvania Ave. to some lesser street. Later, he can visit the assembly line at, say, American Motors, and watch the half-time festivities at the football game between Bucknell and Lafayette. Ky accepted the deal vice presidential-level visit and all but insisted on a few flourishes of his own. Ky asked for and got an agreement that he would announce his decision not to come while Henry Kiss inger was airborne, after the White House had carefully leaked the story that Kissinger was going to Paris expressly to urge Ky to reconsider. This permitted Ky to save face, by appearing to make up his own mind. . In addition, Ky asked to be included at the high-level meeting scheduled in Ireland, between the President and Ambassador David Bruce, our chief negotiator at Paris. This t i J. K -T ' .

Ky took scrupolous pain's in his CBS interview in Paris to reiterate that no secret discussions could or would be taken without him, but it is doubtful if he deceived anyone except possibly Dr. Carl Mclntire. But the fact is that secret discussions are and will be going on, without Ky or any other South Vietnamese representative. The Nixon Ad ministration has noted the enemy's express willingness, contained in the latest offer, to negotiate a coalition govern ment which would not include either Ky, Prime Minister Tran Thien Khiem or President Thieu. We shall come back with a counteroffer and it may well indicate our willingness to ex clude Ky. Thus, South Viet nam's vice president would be able to take vast sums he had made from this war and go to Paris for good. vu 4WA roiMft at hum 4 jptttrtt turnv bu(uitii imitrtfrSi Wufrtu NpiftrW vobiMfrtrv 88 Vf AM aH only (F au PAGE 5
