...talks with me, as in his actions, Chau expressed a deep love of his country and his opinion that the Leninist system the Communists were trying to force on his fellow countrymen was a form of immoral slavery every man of good will must fight against. He was critical of some of the things done in the name of the Nationalist cause. He wanted it pure enough to gain the strength needed to win out over Communism and bring meaningful new life to the Vietnamese people...
Died. Josef Hromádka, 80, Czechoslovak theologian and proponent of Christian-Communist entente; of a heart attack; in Prague. For years, Soviet Communism had no stronger Protestant advocate than Hromádka. Even so, he argued that, because Marxist-Leninist doctrine did not answer the ultimate questions of life, Christianity might eventually transform Communism.

Though W.S.A. thinks that Negro laborers will ultimately lead the movement, it hedges on the primacy of black workers at the start. As a result, the other factions label W.S.A. racist. In turn, W.S.A. criticizes the rest of S.D.S. for looking down on workers and existing labor organizations...
