Wilson Opens Talks With LBJ, U-Thant
LONDON — (UPI) — Prime Minister Harold Wilson flies to the United States today to discuss the Viet Nam crisis and other world problems with President Johnson.
Wilson goes to Washington as the staunchest Allied supporter of U.S. policy in Southeast Asia. In this role, he wants to talk over with Johnson possible peace moves for Viet Nam. Wilson's flight is scheduled to arrive in New York shortly after midnight.
The prime minister will confer with Secretary General Thant at the United Nations Wednesday and will meet with Johnson in Washington on Thursday.
The Viet Nam crisis is expected to be the No.1 topic of conversation. Wilson has supported Johnson's policies despite considerable opposition to it from left-wingers within his own Labor party.

Dr. Ramo believes that there is a need for discussion about education in preparation for what is becoming a highly technical society.
"WE ARE IN transition in a highly technical world," Dr. Ramo said. "There is an imbalance between society and technological advancement. We are not preparing ourselves well."
The relationship between science and technology with society is a problem in our ever-changing world, Dr Ramo said. The higher production and greater production is causing a tremendous dislocation.
"We must start on the educational level." Dr. Ramo continued, "If we do this right, maybe this will be known as the age that blended technology and science.
"If we don't do this we may blow ourselves up or become a robot society," he said.
"Society is lagging behind technological and scientific advancements," Dr. Ramo said.
"EDUCATION TODAY is not helping us to understand this society," he added. "Education must be used to the fullest to adjust society to these advances."
"The whole set of technological problems are requirements in technical education," Dr. Ramo said.
"THE FACULTY of the future will have to come not just from young people eventually trained for the purpose, but from bringing together present engineering educators with others from fields, not today considered a part of engineering, into an educational merger to meet the needs of the times," he explained.
"As the technical society of the future blossoms, the intellectual strength of the world must grow so that social advance will stay in balance with technological advance. Engineering and engineers must grow. So then must engineering education." Dr. Ramso concluded.
