McNamara Denies Charge
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara today denied charges by a returning serviceman that the actual American casualty figures in Viet Nam had been "covered up."
McNamara also said the morale of U.S. military advisers in Viet Nam was "remarkably high," considering the situation in the wartorn nation. He said the Americans were "confident of ultimate success."
The cabinet member made the comments in a letter to Rep. William S. Broomfield, R-Mich., who had questioned him about charges made by former Air Force Sergeant Alvin Morrison of Ferndale, Mich. Morrison recently returned from Viet Nam to be honorably discharged.
"There has never been any attempt to cover up American casualty figures," McNamara said. "Casualty statistics, updated and published weekly, have always been available both in Saigon and Washington for examination."
Shepard Tries Pills, Diet
HOUSTON—(UPI)—Astronaut Alan Shepard Jr., America's first man in space, has gone to pills and a special diet to try to cure an ear injury that made him inelegible for the next U.S. orbital flight.
The 40-year-old Navy commander is making steady progress, said astronaut physician Dr. Charles Berry, but complete recovery "could take months."
At the heart of Shepard's trouble is a condition known as labyrinthitis, the medical term for a swelling of the tissues of the inner ear. This is the location of the delicate semi-circular canals which control human balance and orientation.
Pesticide Reformer Dies
SILVER SPRING, Md.—(UPI)—Author-scientist Rachel Carson, a gentle, shy woman who stirred a mighty storm with her pen, died yesterday of cancer at the age of 56.
She touched off a Senate investigation and a government crackdown on pesticide use. She said that wholesale use of chemical pesticides already had caused "severe, and in some cases catastrophic" losses of wildlife, and asserted that human lives were threatened. too
Miss Carson's controversial 1962 best-seller, "Silent Spring," spurred the federal government to action with a warning that man was poisoning his world with pesticides.
Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall and Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff, D-Conn., who spearheaded the Senate study of pesticide dangers, eulogized Miss Carson last night.
