Caetano to follow Salazar policies New York Times Service Caetano took office as Portugal's new premier yesterday with a speech containing assurances he would preserve the main policies of the Salazar regime and unexpectedly insistent assertions of the need for reforms. The 15-minute radio and television address, delivered shortly after he and his cabinet were sworn in, was an ambiguous one. Reading its unusual for this country, was made available to the press five hours before conservative Portuguese with strong links to ailing Dr. Antonio de Oliveira Sal; azar nodded approvingly and said it was reassuring. Two opposition leaders, one Catholic and one Socialist, commented that it gave at least some of opening up the country's life.

THEY WERE talking about different parts of the speech. The conservative liked the affirmation the war in the African colonies would be kept up, that communism would continue to be repressed and that "public order will be inexorably maintained." He also referred to a phrase calling for "vigilance" and asserting "we shall have to go on asking everyone to make sacrifices, including some liberties that otherwise we should like to see restored." But despite the general emphasis designed to reassure the powerful men of the country that they were not on the point of losing all that they had gained in the past 40 years, there were phrases scattered through that seemed significant to the opposition. They took them not as a flat promise that there would be improvements, but as a signal from Caetano he did not rule them out. "FOR A long period the country grew accustomed to being governed by a man of genius, but from now on it must adapt itself to being governed by men like other men," he said. At least to those who wished to believe it, this seemed a hint that the arbitrary style of the past might be replaced by something a bit more flexible.

There were other hints that popular feeling, openly disdained by Salazar, would be taken into account. In a phrase reminiscent of his predecessor, Caetano said support for the government would often "have to be given in the form of an open credit." But then he said there would be a greater use of information, "seeking to establish highly desirable communication between the government and the nation." Czechs press aims attack at pact papers PRAGUE (UPI) Czechoslovakia's recalcitrant press yesterday unleashed a stinging new attack against the Warsaw Pact occupation powers and their rigidly censored newspapers for printing ''lies," "slanders" and "insults" against Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovak Deputy Premier Josef Hamouz returned to Prague from Moscow for What political sources described as a "feeler" mission to the Kremlin. HAMOUZ HAD officially been in Moscow for a meeting on the Comecon, the Communist bloc equivalent to the European Common Market, but sources said he also sounded out Kremlin leaders on the forthcoming new Moscow conference between Czechoslovak and Soviet leaders. The talks, at which the Czechoslovak leadership will request the withdrawal of occupation forces, have twice been delayed by Kremlin leaders and political sources do not expect them to begin until next week.

Bonn miffed as De Gaulle parley opens BONN, Germany Hours after bluntly rebuffing West Germany yesterday the Common Market, dent Charles de Gaulle of Prance came to Bonn for talks under the terms of the 1963' French-German friendship treaty. The rebuff came in the form of a sharp rejection by France of a West German plan to bring Britain and other applicants into the, six- nation economic community. The bluntness of the French rejection at Brussels, the Common Market headquarters, shocked the Germans.

BUT AT THE airport for De Gaulle's arrival there was a cordial welcome by Chancellor Kurt Georg Kieslnger. Chief government spokesman Guenter Diehl told a news conference later that the opening session of the French-German talks concentrated on the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia and held off until" Saturday on the delicate question of British membership in the Common Market. Foreign ministers Willy Brandt of Germany and Michel Debre of France, who had been at Brussels, were visibly less cordial than their chiefs when they launched separate talks at the Foreign Ministry. BRANDT, chief author of the German formula, curtly declined comment to newsmen on the French rejection as he awaited the French delegation with Kiesinger at Bonn airport. 2 The Arizona Republic EO Phoenix, Sept.

THE SOVIET government newspaper Izvestia said the Czechoslovak leadership was not fulfilling its obligations under the Moscow agreement reached in the days immediately following the Soviet led invasion of Czechoslovakia. The agreement called for strict press censorship as a prerequisite for the withdrawal of Soviet troops. In some of the strongest language to appear in Czechoslovak press since the crusading underground newspapers following the Aug. 20 21 Soviet led invasion, every Prague morning journal singled out a newspaper in one of the five Warsaw Pact nations for criticism. THE NEW PRESS attack obviously had the approval of Czechoslovakia's national leaders since the nation has reimposed censorship on its press at the insistence of the Soviet Union.

MEXICO CITY (tlPi)-More than 3,000 students staged an orderly rally last eight and vowed to carry on with their violent demonstrations "until final victory" against President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz. A series of student leaders addressed the crowd from balconies above the Plaza of Three Cultures and denounced the "imperialist and militaristic government" while their followers stood in a steady drizzle and cheered wildly.

THE SPEAKERS spoke Over loudspeakers and stayed out Of sight. They Were not introduced by name. One of them said, "The Olympics must be carried out in peace, but not in this kind of peace." The rally broke up after more than an hour of speeches when the drizzle turned into a driving rain. Police stood around the plaza but did not interfere. The threat of more demonstrations cast doubts on an expected "truce" between students and the government during the Olympics.

At the same time, Barros reminded embattled students they, too, had responsibilities for preserving law and order. BARROS had resigned as Rector Javier Barros of the government legislators criticized him for allowing the university to become a hotbed of subversion. He had criticized army seizure of the university.

He withdrew, his resignation when faculty members and students gave him an overwhelming vote of confidence. However, in Mexico's interior, 11,000 students marched through Puebla in support of their Mexico City colleagues, about 3,000 staged a protest "march of silence" in Merida, two "solidarity" marches took place in Chihuahua, and Tampico students declared'a sympathy strike. MEXICO CITY was generally quiet yesterday and it appeared the worst might be over in the federal capital. Between 150 and 200 mothers of students demonstrated peacefully outside the Chamber of Deputies Building in downtown Mexico City protesting "police brutality" and demanding an end to "bloodletting."

Embassy speechtoUnitedNations Manila A New York Times Service WASHINGTON Secretary trips to the United Nations to of State Dean Rusk will deliver the U.S. policy speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday in his first address to the world body. The State Department, in announcing Rusk's plans yesterday, reacted coldly to a proposal made Thursday by U.N. Secretary General Thant for a Big Four foreign ministers' meeting to pave the way for a summit conference. RUSK, now in his eighth and probably last year in office, has preferred in his Non-nuclear group rejects world control New York Times Service GENEVA The United States and Soviet Union joined yesterday in helping defeat a Latin American proposal that the non-nuclear conference ask the nuclear powers to guarantee the rest of the world against nuclear attack through an international convention.

The draft resolution which reflected the dissatisfaction of many non-nuclear powers with the guarantees contained in the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, obtained 30 votes in favor to 20 against, with 25 abstentions. Arshad Husain, foreign minister of Pakistan and president of the conference, said afterwards at a press conference that many non- nuclear powers were dissatisfied with the security provisions offered by the United States, Soviet Union and Britain under the treaty. THESE would require authorization by the U.N. Secu- rity Council for action against a nuclear attack, and Husain said there were fears that a Great Power veto would prevent the Security Council from making a decision. However, India, Brazil and other countries known to be capable of producing the bomb also refused to support the Latin American proposal.

This reflected the unanticipated split during the month-long conference in Geneva between such nuclear- potential countries, most of which have refused to sign the treaty, and the other non-nuclear countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. THE LATTER, which are incapable of producing the bomb at any time in the foreseeable future, have tried throughout the conference to meet objections to the treaty by the nuclear-potential powers, many of which, including India, Brazil, West Germany and Switzerland, have said engage in "corridor diplomacy" and leave public appearances to the permanent U.S. representative there. But the resignation of George W. Ball Thursday and the fact that J.

R. Wiggins will probably not be approved by the Senate and sworn in by Wednesday, forced Rusk to break with his own practice. Newsmen asked Robert McCloskey, the State Department spokesman, for the government's reaction to Thant's proposal, made in the introduction to his annual report on the work of the United Nations in the year that ended last June. McCLOSKEY said: "Well, the secretary will be there for almost two weeks and during that time he will be meeting individually with the Soviet, British and French foreign ministers, along with many others. "And those conversations will provide sufficient opportunity for a discussion of the kinds of issues which the secretary general appears to have in mind." This was not a categoric rejection, but officials said they privately agreed with Ball's comments at a news conference yesterday that there was no value in such a conference unless it was carefully prepared and would produce concrete results.

MANILA (UPI) A crowd of about 250, torch-carrying students yesterday smashed windows at the U.S. Embassy and set fire to a servants' quarters at the British Embassy in protests against American and British policy on the Sabah dispute between Malaysia and the Philippines. The noisy demonstration jat the U.S.

Embassy was the fourth this week by students angered at the U.S. policy of neutrality hi the dispute. Britain has backed Malaysia in the controversy. Philippines congressmen "disillusioned with the United States" suggested the withdrawal of Philippine troops from Vietnam and the nati- nalization of foreign-owned oil companies in the Philippines. The dispute is over the ownership of the Sabah region of North Borneo, which was made a state in Malaysia following Malaysia's independence from Britain.

The Philippines claims sovereignty over Sabah because it was once owned by a Filipino sultan in the century. The Arizoim Republic Published every morning by Phoenw Newspapers, Inc.
