Vietnam: events and issues Yank casualty list now at 100,000
SAIGON—(UPI)—American casualties in the Vietnam war have soared past 100,000, a U.S. spokesman said today. More than half have been killed, wounded, or captured in the first nine months of this year.
The fighting around the Demilitarized Zone dividing the two Vietnams was responsible for a large part of the American casualties last week, the spokesman said.
He said 150 Americans were killed during the week, 1,758 were injured and another 21 listed as missing or captured. It sent the casualty totals for the war—using January, 1961, as the starting date—to 101,304. This includes 13,643 Americans killed, 86,-635 wounded, and 756 missing or captured.
The spokesman also said that 228,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong had been killed in the war, and 50,000 South Vietnamese had died in combat.
Thieu critic re-arrested
SAIGON—South Vietnam's military government released Truong Dinh Dzu from national police headquarters today and promptly placed him under house arrest when he got home.
Dzu is a Saigon lawyer who ran second to President-elect Nguyen Van Thieu in the Sept. 3 elections.
The outspoken critic of the Thieu government walked out of police headquarters six days after he was arrested on the eve of National Assembly debate on the validity of the presidential voting. Saigon police seized Dzu as he drove to the assembly to demand Thieu's election be thrown out on grounds of fraud.
Gen. Ngoc Loan, chief of national police, gave no reason for Dzu's release.

Plans monthly meetings
The Scholarly Exchange Committee will work to increase student-faculty communication through monthly student-faculty meetings. It hopes to promote a literary-scholarly publication.
The statement explaining the purpose of the Library Committee said, "Graduate students in English, perhaps more than any other single group of students, depend upon the library as a resource and general study area.
"Yet Watson Library is one of the most inefficient, uncomfortable, and restricted buildings on campus. The goal of the Library Committee is to make the library's holdings more readily and fairly available and make the library in general more conducive to study."
This committee seeks longer hours, more accurate cataloging of periodicals, the hiring of more professional librarians and few high school assistants, more comfortable lounging area and a conversation area.

Senators call for allied aid
WASHINGTON—Nearly a score of senators, hawks and doves alike, joined Sen. Charles H. Percy today in sponsoring a resolution calling on President Johnson to try harder to get non-Communist Asian nations to help out in Vietnam.
"The armed forces of the United States should not continue to bear an ever-increasing proportion of the fighting in Vietnam," the proposed resolution said.
"The non-Communist nations of Asia, including South Vietnam, should contribute substantially more manpower and resources to share the military, diplomatic, economic and psychological tasks
in Vietnam; and the President... should move with greater determination to obtain such commitments. . ."
The "sense of the Senate" resolution is designed to "strengthen our hand" in the Vietnam conflict, Percy said, but its introduction today was expected to reopen the Senate's Vietnam debate.
Among those sponsoring the resolution with GOP presidential possibility Percy and Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr., D-Va., were Sen. Gale McGee, D-Wyo., President Johnson's most vocal supporter in the Senate, and Sen. Mark O. Hatfield, R-Ore, an equally out-spoken dissenter.
