Johnson Promises More Men To Help Fight in Viet Nam War
JOHNSON CITY, Tex. — (UPI)
—President Johnson has decided to send more American troops to fight in South Viet Nam to counter a build-up in Communist guerrilla and regular forces.
Johnson authorized the Pentagon to provide all the men that U.S. military commanders request to bolster the 160,000 Americans already in the war zone.
HE ALSO disclosed he will ask Congress in January to provide more money immediately to pay for the increased defense costs.
The President acted late Thursday after a conference at his Texas ranch home with Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara,
Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other top advisers.
McNAMARA SAID afterward there were no plans at this time to mobilize National Guard or reserve units, extend terms of duty or raise draft calls beyond the December ceiling of 42,000.
He declined to say how many more troops would be added in Vict Nam on grounds that it would tip off the enemy. But his remarks to newsmen Thursday night before flying back to Washington indicate that a sizeable increase is being planned.
"The President instructed me to meet the requests from our military commanders for additional personnel as they are received," McNamara said.
MOSCOW — (UPI) — The Soviet Union today launched an unmanned space station on a voyage toward Venus, a trip which America's Mariner 2 pioneered three years ago.
Soviets Launch Venus Probe
THE RUSSIAN PROBE, named Venus 2, is at least the second Soviet attempt to gather information about the distant planet. Venus 1, launched in February 1961, was a failure.
Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said Venus 2 would pass our sister planet at the end of February next year. It reported the interplanetary space station was functioning normally.
McNamara said the President would ask Congress to provide more money for defense to be spent before next July. The additional funds will be needed despite $1.7 billion it allocated earlier for military spending, he said.
MARINER 2 blazed the trail to the vicinity of Venus when it came within 22,000 miles of the planet on Dec. 14, 1962, and made
three complete scans of the surface.
THE PENTAGON CHIEF also said "surplus and obsolete" bases in the United States and overseas would be partially closed or shut down to save about $500 million a year. Announcements of specific locations will be made within the next few weeks, he said.
The 2.118-pound Venus 2 probe was launched from a "parking orbit" around the earth, Tass continued. En route, it will carry out an extensive space research program using its scientific instruments.
Lewin Goff Named
Lewin A. Goff, director of KU theater, has been appointed a member of the steering committee to plan the 12th International Theater Institute Congress to be in New York in 1967.
The appointment was made by Rosamond Gilder of New York, director of the American National Theater and Academy and president of the International Institute.
Viet Cong losses have doubled this year compared to last year, McNamara said, while South Viet Nam's military fatalities have not increased half as much.
"NONETHLESS, despite these very heavy fatalities, the military strength of the Viet Cong guerillas continues to increase, and, therefore, we believe it will be necessary to add further to the strength of the U.S. combat forces presently deployed in South Vietnam," he explained.
