Senate group to query build-up in Thailand
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Senate Foreign Relations committee opens an inquiry into the American buildup in Thailand today. Chances for public disclosure of its findings were slim.
In marked contrast to the open, often fiery, hearings the committee held on Viet Nam policy, these sessions promised to keep American doings in the southeast Asian nation well veiled.
Assistant Secretary of State William P. Bundy was called to testify before the panel headed by Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ak.), who has expressed concern about lack of information on U.S. commitments to the Thais.
Bundy recently said on nation-wide television that it was no secret that there are about 25,000 U.S. servicemen, mostly airmen, in Thailand—a fact the Pentagon has yet to admit publicly.

Debbie's portrait gone
TOPEKA —(UPI)— The State Capitol was minus the portrait of Debbie Bryant today.
Mrs. Wilma Weithington of Wichita, the artist who painted a full-length portrait of the state's first Miss America, reclaimed it Monday.
She had set Monday as the deadline for the state to act on her $5,000 offer to sell the painting. Gov. William H. Avery said the state had no funds available for such a purchase.
