World-Wide Wire Congressmen Return For 89th Session
WASHINGTON—(UPI)Lawmakers, worried about the war in Viet Nam, the one against poverty and the voters back home, assembled today for the opening of the second session of the 89th Congress.
After routine opening ceremonies both the House and Senate planned to forego any real business until President Lyndon Johnson delivers his televised State-of-the-Union address to a joint session at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
The big question was what Johnson would say about prospects for peace—or a hotter war—in Viet Nam and what sort of balance he proposed to strike between spending at home and abroad.
Transit Talks Stall
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Negotiations called at City Hall by Mayor John V. Lindsay in a personal effort to end the 10-day-old bus and subway strike broke up without visible result today while another mammoth traffic jam built up in the city's streets.
About 5:15 a.m., CHT, negotiators for the striking Transit Workers Union, the Transit Authority, and members of the mediation panel emerged from a meeting room, mostly without comment.
Koreans Hit VC Hard
SAIGON—(UPI)—A South Korean military spokesman claimed today troops of the ROK "Tiger Division" trapped a Viet Cong regiment, killed 180 guerillas by body count and captured 609 others in bitter fighting 350 miles north of Saigon.
A Communist regiment normally numbers from 800 to 1,500 men. The spokesman said another 300 Communists possibly were killed and dragged off by their comrades in the battle 10 miles north of Qui Nhon.
Playmate Visits Viet Nam
SAIGON—(UPI)—Pretty Jo Collins, Playboy Magazine's "Playmate of the Year," flew to Viet Nam today to deliver a kiss and a lifetime subscription to the magazine to a paratroop company now in combat against the Viet Cong.
The project began last November when someone from the unit recalled that Playboy had offered to have a bunny make personal delivery to anyone purchasing a lifetime subscription to the magazine for $125.
The money was quickly collected and Price wrote the magazine. He made it fairly plain that he and the rest of the men were more interested in delivery than the subscription.
"We would appreciate so very much a real, living, breathing American girl," Price wrote. "We have unanimously decided it should be the 'Playmate of the Year.'"

WARNING TO PATRIOTS
"If you are ever going to buy a gun, buy it now. Communist organizations that usually have good sources of information are expecting Johnson to be next president and Hubert Humphrey to be the next vice-president. Once this election is over they expect to be able to operate openly without any government interference whatsoever" ("On Target" April 1, 1964, page 1 & 2)
