UN may act on Vietnam
WASHINGTON—(UPI) The United States may soon press for United Nations Security Council action on Vietnam, authoritative sources said today.
They said chances that the United States would ask the council to take up the Southeast Asian conflict and try to open the path to a solution have increased considerably because of two recent developments:
—A unanimously passed Senate resolution urging President Johnson to take action to get the world organization involved in trying to find a way out of the conflict.

Dave Miller, the spokesman, said he "wouldn't be be surprised" if workers at the Gasbuggy site 55 miles east of Farmington had to work "around the clock" in an attempt to wire around damaged circuits so the 26-kiloton nuclear explosive can be detonated Friday. Electrical wires, including the firing cable, were damaged.

Going To A Formal?
the NLF represented in any Security Council debate on the war. But U.S. officials said the Johnson administration was not prepared to permit Viet Cong representatives to come to New York simply for propaganda purposes without being held accountable in some official forum for their actions against the Saigon government.
