Thank go we were not Black week continued it is obvious or would Seewir so thac to think in terms of pacification in a country where revolutionaries can hold the Citadel for three Days and where vietnamese regulars can penetrate Saigon is tick misunderstand the degree of Tranquility h in country. Which of the 59-Man cadre t teams will Tol the country Side when even Saigon and the provincial capitals Are not Safe from rampaging guerrillas no solid intelligence they than we think i they did More Peoples More land More resources. There was apparently solid Intelli gence on of the attacks. We. Had Intelli gence that an attack was said one official. But hell Advance intelligence of everything. Even things that Don t the peas ants did t and that is the the Viet Cong with their reputation for the meticulous planning had to have thought out the raids Many weeks in Advance. It is interesting to speculate whether or not the raids would have taken place if the Johnson administration had accepted Hanoi s bid for talks there were., Many rumours in Saigon but few hard facts. Only three marines were guarding the american embassy when the assault started. One official Here remarked bitterly Friday that Protection of the embassy was the responsibility of the Host that is the responsibility of the army the Republic of Vietnam. A i. Of Vietnam now is like District four the popu lation i sen. Edward Kennedy s words a Disen chanted people.1 they appear to have Little stomach for the fight and the government of Nguyen Van Thieu shows Little Talent for inspiration. The revolution Ary atmosphere and the vigor that goes with it is still the property of the communists. Officials Here who have experience do not think it is especially useful to speak As sen. John Tower Republican Texas did this week of. The raids being an indication of the death rattle1? of l the Viet Cong. Nor do they think As it. Krulak told a meeting of newspaper pub Lishers in Beverly Hills that the raids were acts desperation aimed at get Ting nor is the body count of enemy dead regarded As a useful Index of Victory or defeat. Is it plausible to imagine that body counts were taken As troops fought House to House and in provincial capitals whose hotels de Ville flew Viet Cong it would seem the Only to reach atthe end of was that Viet Cong strength and determination a is. Far far greater than had been thought. The task of bring ing the population to the Side of the Saigon govern where the contest by common agreement will be won by the Side that can offer consistent Protection seems More difficult than Ever. Children killed some South vietnamese regular army officers re turned to their Homes in Saigon after the Battles wednesday to find that the Viet Cong had assassinated their wives and children in the Centre of Saigon the Viet Cong occupied the e grounds of the american embassy for five hours. Is it therefore believable when the government , it can protect a or a Village with a 59-Man cadre team and a Ranger company five Miles away it seems reasonable to suppose As Well that the carnage will engender among Souter vietnamese hot hatred of the Viet Cong but renewed hatred of the War. The scenes on Ameri can television Are horrifying in real life they must be unbearable. Be r h a p s the compulsion will be to seek accommodation. Even the vietnamese whose resilience is nothing Short of unbelievable must have a breaking Point. Is that now being reached approve lottery London r e u t e r s the House of commons Friday nigh gave approval in principle t Bill calling for establishment o a National lottery to help a for medical research and Socia welfare. But observers said the Bill proposed by labor member James tinn had Little Chance o getting through further stage needed to make it Law because it was not supported go eminent. Only 86 of the 6 members of parliament vote o the second Reading Friday Pas ing the Bill 69 to 17. For allies and for the communists who would not calculate in emotion but in hard fact what Are the debits How much in men and Materiel have they spent could they order new assaults or will it take months to reconstitute the sapper companies and combat have they for the exhausted the Arsenal there Are the questions that the americans and the will be asking after they find and Bury their dead after martial Law in Saigon is suspended. _ after the estimates Aie in when it is calculated what has been gained and How much has been lost. Ameri can officials As always Are entitled to some sympathy. What is there really to say spy ship reassessed continued sen. Stems characterized the inquiry As part of the committee s current Mili tary hearings not an Exten Sive investigation defence Secretary Robert Mcnamara and Gen Earle g Wheeler chairman of the joint chiefs of staff were questioned extensively on the Pueblo during the com Mittee s closed hearings on the Pentagon s fiscal -1969 budget. Still at Issue is Why the Pueblo was captured with out her Crew filing a shot and without an attempt at Rescue by . Air planes or warships. Richard m. Nixon newly announced Republican presidential candidate got to the argument Friday during a press n e w Hamp Shire. While supporting presi Dent Johnson s efforts to retrieve the ship and her Crew or Nixon said it is simply unthinkable that the he holy armed Pueblo could have been in the Vicinity without air or sea cover. Or. Mcnamara when he came out of the committee hearing Friday replied that it would be unthinkable to Send tie Pueblo with escorts. He said such a policy would be provocative and could Lead to fire fights Gen. Wheeler in the same hallway session before Tele vision cameras said the Cost of escorting ships like the. Pueblo would be extremely High in s o m e cases sen. Wheeler said it would take a Carrier task Force operating thousands of Miles from the United states to protect far ranging ferret ships. Who made what decision about answering the Pueblo s Call for help is another thing the Striate armed services committee intends to find put Over the next several weeks. With or. Mcnamara and sen Wheeler ruling out arming of spy ships heavily or providing them with escorts the View of the. Use of ferret ships is expected to Centre on ways to make them less provocative to foreign nations. One idea is to keep the ships farther out to sea rather than skirting claimed territorial limits 12 Miles m the Case of Korea one disadvantage would be that the ship would hear less from Shore with its eaves dropping equipment the farther out it stayed. Other parts of the Penta gon review include ways to make it harder to capture ships like the Pueblo and its secret equip ment options Here Range from making it easy to scuttle the ship to Booby trapping the. Spy gear besides the humiliation of having an american ship captured at sea Many senators Are the Pentagon does not know How much equipment the Pueblo was Able to destroy during its capture. Destroying the e secret equipment on the Pueblo was not merely a matter of pushing self destruct buttons within easy reach of the Crew. The Crew according to evidence not yet made Public had. To use Sledge hammers to destroy some of the equipment below deck while North boarding the ship topside. One Navy theory is that injuries to three or four Pueblo crewmen came Dur ing this frantic Effort to destroy the codes and Black boxes in . Some of the secret devices were rigged with explosives that acted like hand grenades. Conceivably some Navy leaders reason some Crew members could not get away from the explosion while setting off the device during the Pueblo s capture. J. C. Lundberg veterans want More continued commons Lubber stamp approval. It in t said or. Lundberg. S i the 15 per cent increase will push maximum annual payment to from the increase when it is implemented will be retroactive to Jan. 1 he thinks an equitable Settle ment would involve a per annul figure Ever since the first pay ments were made to veterans in 1919, the Cost of living has been on the Rise but the pensions Haven t kept up or. Lundberg says the 125jooo member association will present its Case calmly and through the proper channels a suggestion that their claims be reinforced by forming a pressure group during elections was turned aside. Or Lundberg said such methods could backfire and implied the tactic was unfair we will maintain pressure in the conventional manner r we have made slow steady Gams in that after a 20-year lapse in increases the government blamed partly on the Depres Sion veterans had pensions pushed from a year to in 1948 it will probably be to the figure before april or. Lundberg Sfa Essed that the group s dissatisfaction was not with veterans affairs minis Ter Roger Veillet or his depart ment but rather with the position this and previous governments have put him in 1 he said or Veillet had always held the door for the group the has been very helpful and has never refused to discuss things with us or Lundberg has been tour ing Western Canada to gather opinions on the recent increase n pay mints. He was to leave Winnipeg this morning to continue his investigation. Or. Lundberg also announced hat the american veterans committee had appealed for backing of a bid to Aid military prisoners in North Vietnam the same Appeal was made to the world veterans federation a group with r24 5 million members in 58 countries the plea asks for visits allowed by a Neutral impartial body such As the rec Cross. An end to the ban on prisoner correspondence with families release of lists of prisoner of War As a signator of the Geneva convention article 01 rules of War the North Vietnam government agreed to the conditions or Lundberg said they claim however ther is Tio War or Lundberg certain i association would Back the plea said he will present the Lette and the group s suggestions t affairs minister Paul Ley Weie wounded by North korean gunfire during the Pueblo s capture or by the Impact of blowing up the ship s intelligence equipment to keep t from the enemy. Or Johnson expressed his Hope for additional meet Ings with the North koreans at Dan Union and stressed that things take he also noted that it took some seven months of negotiations to get ack two . Pilots from an ib-47 reconnaissance bomber which the russians had shot own Over the Arctic in 1960. Or Johnson said the military iad informed him the rb-47 Vas the most comparable four of that Crew were killed in the plane s crash. The russians accused the two sur iving pilots of spying and imprisoned them but later landed them Back to president Kennedy As an inauguration present. Or Johnson notably did not 2ite the More immediate Prece Lent of two helicopters who vere forced Down by North Korea itself in May 1964 and returned Only after a year s retention and an acknowledge ment by the United states that hey had strayed Over North territory. Friday when the president was asked if he was confident of getting Back both the Pueblo and her Crew he rep he d no r am not the administration already has indicated that i1 assumed the North koreans were stopping the Pueblo for its detection secrets and that there s Little Chance of their handing it Back or Johnson also went out of us Way to assure South Korea hat the us for the Pueblo and its american Crew has not made him forget South headed parliament Zagreb apr Iva president c Yugoslavia s Wai time Prlia ment and of the postwar i Parji ment s presidium died Fonda after a beef Pueblo talks continued stalled a r Korea s own concern for the recent1 North korean Assassin Ion attempt against president Chung Hee Park and the constant North Korea i threat to absorb South Korea.
