Nixon to make new report
WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Nixon said Tuesday he would make a new report on the Vietnam War when he announces more troop withdrawals sometime before Christmas. It was believed he may order up to 40,000 more troops home, bringing the total to more than 100,000.
The President, speaking to a group of congressmen at the White House, said he would report to the nation in a television and radio address similar to the one he delivered Nov. 3. He said he would make it when he announces another troop withdrawal as he promised in his news conference Monday night.
Americans lack information
Americans lack information. Another report is necessary, Nixon said, "so the American people will know what the facts are." He said part of the opposition to his Vietnam policy was based on "a lack of information."
"You have to lay it on the line, popular or unpopular," Nixon told the congressmen as they presented him with a petition supporting his Vietnam policy signed by almost 400,000 persons. "You have to give the good news. You have to give the bad news."
White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said the new report will be broadcast and televised nationwide as was the Nov. 3 report, in which Nixon evoked support from the "silent majority" for his policy of gradual withdrawal from the war.

KU student resigns from Republican club
Nixon gave no hint of how many more troops he would order nome, but it was believed the figure would be between 35,000 and 40,000. These would be in addition to 25,000 ordered out in June. 35,000 removed in October and 5,000 others who have left the war, some in excess of the President's orders.
Frank Cook, Gardner senior; said Tuesday that his resignation as second vice-chairman of the KU College Republican Club was due partly to "a liberal-conservative debate" among the club's members.
"I'm a professed liberal," sad Cook, "and the Republican party is more conservative."
Cook submitted his resignation Monday night, after it was requested by members of the club executive board. The board members said that Cook was asked to resign because he had not upheld the purposes of the club and because he had not performed the duties of his office.
Pam Hooper, Liberal junior and third vice-chairman of the club, said that publicity had been neglected. She said that the constitution stated that Cook was expected to "promote in every honorable way" the Republican Party and its platform.
"The constitution of the club is vague on just what the purpose of the club is," said Cook. "It's all a matter of interpretation."
A number of club members oppose the allegedly reckless manner in which Cook had allied the group with the peace symbol in some of his publicity work.

Miss Hooper said Cook's affiliations with other campus organizations were also part of the reason he had been asked to resign.
"His past membership in the Collegiate Young Democrats and other organizations was completely opposite to the views of the Republican party," she said.
Cook had alienated about half of the publicity committee at the first meeting, she said, and he had failed to show any kind of cooperation with the executive board.

"He has indicated complete dis- interest in the club," she said.
Cook said that he is still a member of the CR's and he hopes to be active in the elections for new officers next Wednesday.
Nixon hopes to succeed
A new order to withdraw 40,000 men would bring the total to 105,000. Last June, Nixon told a news conference he hoped to exceed recommendations by former Defense Secretary Clark M. Clifford to withdraw 100,000 men in 1969.
Nixon's defense secretary, Melvin R. Laird, indicated to reporters in Paris Monday that 40,000 may be included in the new order because the program to turn the war over to the South Vietnamese was running ahead of schedule.
Nixon told his Monday night news conference that reports on the program "indicate more progress on all fronts than we had anticipated when we started troop schedule withdrawals in June."
