Hubert dodges VC, reaffirms US policy
KUALA LUMPUR — (UPI) — Safely away from the Viet Cong violence that dogged his tour of Vietnam, Vince President Hubert H. Humphrey said today the United States is not going to pull out of Vietnam, "I don't care how many demonstrations there are."
In an occasionally emotional speech to Americans living in Malaysia the vice president urged wholehearted support for American policies and said, "you are not helping by bad mouth."
care how many demonstrations there are."
Humphrey also said his political future hinged on the war's outcome.
"We are there," he said. "We are not going to leave, I don't
"If it is a colossal failure, I know what happens to me," he said.
Humphrey's tour of Kuala Lumpur contrasted with the dangers of South Vietnam, where Viet Cong guerrillas fired mortar shells at a reception he was attending and shot holes in a plane scheduled to carry him on a battlefield inspection.
Jackie hailed in Cambodia
PHNOM PENH—(UPI)—Jacqueline Kennedy arrived today to a thunderous welcome in neutral Cambodia next door to South Vietnam for a visit she has dreamed about since girlhood.
Thousands of Cambodians cheered wildly as the former First Lady's motorcade crossed U.S.S.R. Boulevard and Mao Tse-tung Avenue en route to her rooms in a glittering oriental palace.
Earlier she was greeted by Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the Cambodian chief of state, at Pochentong airport under a brilliant sun.
There Mrs. Kennedy stepped from the plane onto a plush red carpet covered with jasmine blossoms and lined with Cambodian women and girls dressed in long, multi-colored skirts and white blouses.
Mrs. Kennedy laughed and chatted with Sihanouk in her fluent French and seemed to be completely at home in a city cloaked with a Paris atmosphere remaining from the days of the French colonial empire in Indochina.
Mrs. Kennedy planned to spend a week in Cambodia, realizing her lifelong dream of seeing the 1,000-year-old temple ruins at Angkor Wat in the northwest jungles and helping Sihanouk dedicate John F. Kennedy Avenue in a port on the Gulf of Siam.
Foreign aid battle nears end
WASHINGTON — (UPI) —The embattled foreign aid program, hurt by deep cuts and sweeping new restrictions, today neared the halfway mark in the longest congressional ordeal of its 20-year history.
House and Senate conferees were reported near final agreement to authorize approximately $2.7 billion in aid funds and call a halt to Defense Department guarantees for credit arms sales abroad by June 30, 1968.
But the House appropriations subcommittee on foreign aid moved to cut the total to $2.2 billion and adopt a few sales restrictions of its own.
Last February President Johnson's original aid request was for $3.4 billion. He not only wanted to continue, but also to broaden the authority for credit sales to nations unable to pay cash for sophisticated U.S. military equipment.
Never before has the bill been cut so deeply nor tied so tightly with restrictions on the spending authority.
Once the authorization bill has been passed—probably next week—the appropriations bill will face new attempts to cut it even further.
Dirksen urges jail for 'resistors'
OMAHA, Neb. — (UPI) — Sen.
Everett M. Dicksen, R-III, claiming
some prose demonstrators went to Washington "intent on
mischief," said Wednesday night that such protesters should be dealt with more harshly.
In an hour-long speech at a GOP fund-raising dinner, the tousle-haired Senate minority leader said more arrests should be made at disorderly demonstrations such as the one in the nation's capital last month.
Calling such demonstrations "no longer dissent, but resistance," Dirksen said there were those who meant to cause trouble, "and they got off scott free except for one person."
"They came to Washington intent on mischief, and I have the documents to prove it," he told 900 fellow Republicans.
Houston 'gamble' put off riots
On other subjects, Dirksen called rioting in the cities "insane and ghastly business."
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A daring gamble by the federal antipoverty agency—putting hard-core militants and known agitators to work—paid off in Houston, and Senate investigators have their first suggestion for chilling another hot summer of riots.
The suggestion for developing such a program on a nationwide basis came from Samuel L. Price, deputy director of Houston's
"We gambled and won," he told an intrigued Senate permanent investigations subcommittee Wednesday. "Houston did not blow."
Community Action Association.
Most of the senators expressed interest in the idea without endorsing or rejecting it, but Chairman John L. McClellan, D-Ark., called it a "payoff" to the lawless.
