j	By GREG KIESELMANN
Although the American military position in Vietnam has improved greatly in tiie past three months, political conditions in that war-plagued country have
not. Dr. Theodore H. E. Chen said yesterday in Daily Trojan interview.
Dr. Chen, director of Asian and Slavic studies and a native of China, said military I success will always be limited until the confidence of the jpeople can be garnered.

Caltech Professor Backs Mars Life
By ROBERT D. THOMAS
Life may have once existed and perhaps now exists on Mars, a professor of biology and genetics at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Cal Tech, said yesterda}’.
Dr. Norman Horowitz, speaking at a Sigma Xi lecture in Olin Hall, said that the possibility of life on Mars is slim but that evidence is still fragmentary and subject to great flux.
The scientist explained that a theory advanced by A. I.

Oparin, a Russian scientist, and further substantiated by American scientists Harold jUrey and Stanley Miller, holds that life on Earth came about only after a strong chemical evolution occurring in a hydrogen-reducing atmosphere.
Whereas the earth now has an oxidizing atmosphere that induces combustion in bacterial particles. Dr. Horowitz explained that a hydrogen-re-ducing atmosphere produces synthesis in bacteria instead of combustion.
Old Mars
“The same process could apply anywhere in the universe and it is possible that Mars at one time had such an atmosphere," Dr. Horowitz said.
And if life on earth could change radically by adapting to the switch from hydrogen to oxygen, it is also possible that Martian life has adapted to the conditions which now inhabit the planet, Dr. Horowitz theorized.
The violent seasonal changes which envelop the planet do not preclude the possibility that life could exist on Mars, the biologist said.
“We have found bacterial life on the surface of Antarctica, and it is not at all impossible to think that life on Mars could make a similar adaptation.”

Korea in stopping aggression,” he said.
American involvement in Vietnam is justified. Dr. Chen believes- But he thinks the national soul-searching now going on, should have come before the U.S. got involved in the war.
“Today, we have too much at stake to pall out. Since our stand in Laos many years ago, America's involvement in Southeast Asia has slowly been increasing.”
No Direct Link There is no direct link between Red China and the Viet Cong. Dr. Chen added. Since the Korean conflict, the Chinese Communists have refused to become embroiled in full-scale wars but attempt to stimulate indirect conflicts all over the world.
“China believes a big war is not necessary and that America can be worn down piece by piece,” he said.
“The Reds feel they are bound to win sooner or later because of their confidence that Americans cannot morally or psychologically tolerate a prolonged war like in Vietnam and will eventually get out.
"They are also pretty sure the U.S. will not use nuclear weapons for fear of alienating the world.”

Jazz to Premiere In Chapel Service
By LYNNE REGGIARDO Assistant City Editor
The traditional serenity of worship will be temporarily replaced by a jazzierd atmosphere Sunday at the University Methodist Church. 817 W. 34th St.
“Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts” will be presented publicly for the first time in the world at the 11 a.m. service there.
The service will be taken from the RCA Victor album of the same name which was recorded by Paul Horn and his orchestra. Horn, his quintet, eight singers and twelve instrumentalists will play in person at the church.
The musical score, composed by Lalo Schifrin. follows the traditional mass texts used in the Episcopalian and Catholic churches, and is sung entirely in English.
Worship Service
It is not an entire musical performance, but rather the regular sequence of worship built around a jazz rendition of the traditional liturgy.
The numbers include the “Kyrie” ("Lord Have Mercy”), “Gloria” (“Glory to God in the Highest”), the “Sanctus” (“Holy, Holy, Holy”). “Agnus Dei” (“Lamb of God”), and the “Credo.”
Rev. David Lehmberg. Methodist campus minister, arranged for the service to be performed here.
“The jazz mass is a completely legitimate form of religious expression; an authentic, valid worship experience.” he said.
“This is the only one of many jazz and folk services that I have heard that rises above experimental status.” he added.
Horn Plays Three
Horn, a professional jazz musician, will play three different flutes, the clarinet and the alto saxaphone. His orchestral support will come from a French horn, trombones, trumpets, a tuba, harps, and various percussion instruments.
In a Life Magazine review of the “Jazz Suite” album. Carter Harman called the score “an astonishing transliteration in the jazz idiom of the traditional formal Mass.”
“Schifrin has shown us. with ingenuity and brilliance, that the mystiques of jazz and the liturgy need not be antithetical.” he wrote.
Mr. Lehmberg will conduct the sermon.
