Into Brussels Counsel With Allies Leftist Bally Fizzles Otil By William L. Ryan Associated Press Writer BRl SSEI.S, BELGIUM President Nixon, starting his European tour to a royal Belgian welcome, pledged Sunday night to consult with America's allies iii seeking peace with tranquility, order and justice. But even as Nixon focused on Europe, a new enemy surge in Vietnam plagued his effort to shift emphasis from Asia. White House sources witlt Nixon said renewal of heavy shellings against South Vietnamese cities could prompt a U.S. countermove but mat the administration would not act hastily. Resumption of bombing North Vietnam has been seen as one possible consequence of a Communist offensive. Donwtown Rally Fizzles An rally in downtown Eros-sel- s fizzled a few hours before the President flew into a disunited Europe. At the airport, about a dozen onlookers jeered and shouted, Nixon, go home! but the shouts were liberally mixed with cheers from others in tiie crowd. In the first ceremonial speech of his eight-damission. Nixon recalled the words of the king of Belgium to the U.S. Congress 10 years ago: .Peace is the tranquillity or order. Mere tranquillity can be cold war, but the tranquillity of order implies justice. "The search lor peace is what brings me now to Europe, he said, to begin the process of consulting with America's allies and gathering their judgments. anti-Nixo- n AssoclaM PrM Wlrenhoto President Nixon listens to mal address of welcome from King Gen.

Heaviest Fighting Since May By George Esper , Associated Press Writer SAIGON (Monday) Enemy troops assaulted allied towns and bases across South Vietnam Sunday in the heaviest coordinated rocket, mortar and ground attacks since last May. A second series of attacks followed early Monday, but the force of enemy's effort appeared to ne lessening. U.S. spokesmen estimated more than 1.000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese were killed in the attacks that struck more than 125 cities, towns and allied bases Sunday. More than 100 U.S. troops were killed, as were an equal number of Soutli Vietnamese troops, spokesman said. Vietnamese civilians were known to have been killed by enemy fire. Close to 200 civilians weie wounded. As of Monday morning, the two days Fifty-seve- n of coordinated attacks had hit at least 20 ol Soutli Vietnam's 45 provincial capitals and 30 district capitals and hamlets, in addition to the two largest cities, Saigon and Da Nang, and at least 75 military bases and posts. In the lighting reported early Monday, 10 allied bases and three towns were hit. Casualties were reported as light, but among them was a senior U.S. provincial adviser who was killed during an attack on Song Be, provincial capital of Phuoc Long Province. He was identilied as Lt. Col.

And wherever there were crowds on the route into the city and the royal palace, the welcome was enthusiastic.

In Paris, observeis weie convinced that he would make a dramatic move, as he has often done in crucial moments. It is not his habit to leave the initiative to others.

He was 67. Saud was surrounded by about 75 of the royal retinue at the Cavouri Hotel, to which he returned last Decern iter a after years stay in Cairo. The other of members his entourage live in Beit ut and Cairo. A hotel employe are being made to plane to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital, for burial. One of 40 soils of the late King llm Saud, Saud ascended the throne in November 1953 upon his fathers death. He inherited an estimated 5300 million a year income that his father had built up from Saudi Arabia's vast oil reserves. In his more htan 20 palaces, he took care of more titan 300 princes of royal blood, as well as courtiers, bodyguards, and wives slaves, that pensioners brought his household to about 5.000 persons. Sand Liked American Ways traveled, Saud liked American customs, kept a fleet of American cars and stocked the basement of his Riyadh Palace with a quarter-milliodollars Widely n worth of canned and frozen foods. Saud had been a popular figure in Saudi Arabia before being deposed Nov. 2. 1964, when lie was succeeded by King Faisal, bis younger brother. Faisal opposed Saud's royal spending on trips abroad and in the country. The crown prince demanded that the money, income from loyalties of American oil companies, he ued to improve tite welfare of Saudi Arabia's six million people. In 1960. Faisal resigned as government chief in protest against Saud's spending. Saud's began to fail two yars later and he asked Faisal to return as prime minister. Then Saud went to Boston for surgery to correct an abdominal ailment and to remove cataracts from his eyes. Faisal gradually increased his power as Saud's grasp began to weaken. In February 1964, Saud asked for Faisal's resignation but the crown prince refused. A struggle for power resulted and Saud lost. Born in January 1902. Saud spend his boyhood in a country that was little more than hot desert and conjested villages of mud bricks without a street wide enough to accommodate wheeled vehicles. Oil Royalties Source of Wealth By the time he ascended the throne, prosperity had turned Saudi Arabia into a land where airplanes, schools, hospitals and paved streets were at lea.-- t known. Like his prolific father. Sand kept a harem, but stayed within the legal limit of (our wives at one time. He was reported to have 25 sons. Famed for ln generosity.

The obstruction was found to be due to two separate large adhesive bands resulting from previous surgery. The anastomotic stoma communication lor the passage of food between two loops of small and large intestine created at the original operation in 1956 for regional ileitis was found to be quite patent, functional, and uninvolved in any inflammatory process. Obviously Still Quiescent The site of the old ileitis was thoroughly exposed and found to be just as it was 13 years ago. The process has obviously remained quiescent through the many years and gives no evidence ol having undergone any exacerbations, said Hughes. Thus for the present at least the five-sta-r general had successfully survived an operation which a private surgeon told the Associated Press Saturday niglft entailed a terrible risk for Eisenhower because of his age, 78, and especially because of his past medical and surgical history. This history' includes seven major heart attacks, a cerebral stroke and various other medical illnesses. His surgical history has included major operations for ileitis, a serious infection of the small intestine; gall bladder trouble, and an appendectomy. Gen. Hughes said the obstruction which necessiatted the operation was found to be due to two separate large adhesive bands resulting from previous surgery. This confirmed a forecast made Saturday night by a private surgeon who said in Eisenhower's case tire obstruction was most likely due to adhesions which are formations of tough, scar tissue which can sometimes develop as a result of abdominal surgery. These adhesions can become attached to the intestine in such a way that they can cause kinks or twists in it, creating a blockage of flow through the intestine. ' No Link to Ileitis But Gen. Hughes said that surgeons found Eisenhower's latest obstruction had nothing directly to do with his operation for ileitis in 1956. That is. lie explained, the new connection between the small intestine and the large intestine, created at the time of the original operation 13 years ago, was found to be completely open, functional, and uninvolved in any inflammatory process." While Gen. Hughes termed the operahe offered no successful tion itself details on Eisenhower's condition or the prospects for his recovery. He said that the operation was perteam of surgeons formed by a seven-maheaded by Lt. Gen. Leonard D. Keaton, the surgeon general of the Army . In announcing that surget y v, as to be gendone, the doctors said the five-sta- r eral and his wife. Mamie, had accepted "with equanimity" the decision of the doctors to operate. n Today's Chuckle The Intel nal Revenue Department, like God, must love poor people it makes so many of them, .t I |
