Senators plan advertising campaign
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The nation is about to see a skillful and unusual half million dollar advertising campaign intended to summon wide public support for legislation calling for the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Vietnam by next summer.
Probably for the first time in history members of Congress are buying advertising to appeal
above the heads of their colleagues for citizen support of a legislative proposal.
The legislation is "the end the war" amendment of Sens. George S. McGovern (D-SD), and Mark O. Hatfield (R-Ore.), and co-sponsored by 23 other senators.
If ultimately enacted, it would require President Nixon to pull all U.S. troops from the warfront

U. S. troops withdrew from Cambodia 24 hours before their deadline, to wind up a two month campaign which provoked unprecedented and violent divisiveness for a military action among Americans at home.
By RICHARD C. GROSS United Press International
Designed to make a clean sweep of Communist sanctuaries buried in the jungle up to 21.7 miles across the western border of South Vietnam into Cambodia, the operation was termed "successful" by President Nixon who ruled out the further use of American troops to aid the government of Lon Nol.
In Washington, the Senate in a 58-37 vote after 34 days of debate adopted the so-called Cooper-Church amendment to the foreign military sales bill limiting further presidential action in Cambodia. It was the first legislative act during a shooting war restricting the President's powers as commander-in-chief.
On the diplomatic front, Nixon strummed up new overtures at peace and, apparently attempting to convince Hanoi of his sincerity, appointed a new chief negotiator at the Paris talks, David Bruce, a former ambassador to Britain, France and West Germany.
The Cambodian venture sparked the near dead antiwar movement at home to an explosive rebirth on the nation's campuses and streets, leaving six dead on two college greens where students, police and National Guardsmen clashed and producing scores of injuries as peace demonstrators and hard-hatted construction workers tangled on asphalt battlegrounds.
Unable to snare the elusive central headquarters of the Communist command. American troops nevertheless captured tons of food stores and military supplies and probably delayed Viet Cong and North Vietnamese offensive operations in South Vietnam for six months or more.
Hatfield and Charles Goodell, N.Y., are also publishing an accounting in the Congressional Record of how they are spending the money they have raised for the campaign.
