LONDON (UPD—John Wil

fighter’s supersonic boom drove
his usually placid parrot ber
serk and into an attack on the
python he keeps in his living
room.
“Normally they are the best
of friends,” said Williams.
Williams is one of an army of
irate Londoners complaining
about the government crash
boom program to get citizens
used to supersonic airliners
overhead.
He said Buzzard, his parrot,
rocketed from her perch when
the boom sounded Friday.
Buzzard made several frantic
orbits around the living room
and then plunged, eagle like, on

I TODAY’S MEDITATION

■ When considering an act of revenge it would be
wise to remember this epigram “In Taking Rev

more obvious it becomes that, in the long run, WE
GET WHAT WE GIVE.

I advised Republicans “a war of
■ I gradualism” cannot be won In
i' Vietnam, and that it is time for
dozed through the big bang.
“Sylvia was very upset and
started slithering ’round the
room,” said Williams.
"We had to drag Buzzard off
and put her in another room
until she quieted down.”
Williams was not the only
complainer Friday. West End
matrons complained of extra
sugar lumps being dropped in
cups of tea in shock at the
boom.
An orchestra conductor raged
at the government because a
symphony had to be re-recorded
after the test jet added an extra
fortissimo to the score.
Only David Jones, 73, report
ed he liked the boom. Growing
deaf for years, the pensioner
said the sonic boom restored his
hearing.
Congress to decide whether to
declare war on North Vietnam.
All of a nation’s power is
needed to support the use of
force to achieve a national aim,
Eisenhower said, and it must be
used quickly.
Eisenhower’s views on these
and other issues came to light
Friday in the weekly newsletter
published by the Republican
Congressional campaign com
mittee.
Advises Junior Congressmen
They were based on answers
he gave to 34 first-term GOP
House members who visited
him at Gettysburg, Pa., last
Saturday. The newsletter said
he had approved publication of
his answers in paraphrased
form.
Os a possible declaration of
war, Eisenhower said:
“With 450,000 U.S. troops now
in Vietnam, it is time that
Congress decided whether or
not to declare a state of war
exists with North Vietnam.
Previous congressional resolu
tions of support provide only
limited authority.
“Although Congress may de
cide that the previously ap
proved resolution on Vietnam
given President Johnson is
sufficient, the Issue of a
declaration of war should at
least be put before the Congress
for decision."
Fight To Win
Eisenhower’s views on Viet
nam strategy were paraphrased
in these words:
“When you must use force to
support a national aim, for
example In the defense of
another count r y’s freedom,
there is no higher authority to
which you can appeal. There
fore, you must win. To do that,
you need all the power you have
and you must use it quickly and
secretly so as to achieve
surprise.
“You cannot win a war on
gradualism. At the same time,
we must help the South
Vietnamese government to
teach its people the value of
freedom and self-government.”
The former President said
that the Vietnam war demands
“first priority” because U.S.
servicemen are being sent to
fight and die in a hard, cruel
war.
“Other goals, however attrac
tive, should take second place.
Tax increases would not be
needed if we had set priorities
earlier.”

South Vietnam
Increases Size
Os Fighting Force
By MIKE FEINSILBER
CAT LAI, Vietnam (UPD—
Premier Nguyen Cao Ky today
announced South Vietnam’s
armed forces are being boosted
by 50,000 men to a 660,000 total
and being reorganized into a
massive anti-guerrilla army
with better leadership.
He told newsmen the man
power boost may take a “few
months ... if we move fast.”
Ky said the military overhaul
was now underway.
Puffing on an American
menthol cigarette and wearing
the usual lilac scarf on his air
marshal’s uniform, Ky also
said:
His military regime Is
ready for peace talks with
North Vietnam but has no sign
Hanoi is willing to talk.
American policy in Vienam
will not change after the U.S.
presidential elections in 1968.
“The President in the future
must protect the interests of the
American people first and the
world interest too,” he said.
President Johnson is expect
ed to attend a summit
conference in Bangkok some
time after South Vietnam’s
Sept. 3 presidential elections to
meet with other allied chiefs of
state who men are fighting
here.
Ky said the manpower boost
in his armed forces is not the
result of the visit last week by
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara. However, the
U.S. defense chief had urged an
Increased allied war effort.
The premier said the military
overhaul will affect not only the
South Vietnamese army but all
its militia-like forces, the
regional and popular forces.
They will be reformed into a
mass counter-insurgency force.

It will make them better at
fighting Communist guerrillas,
he said. Ky stressed the need
for bettering “both the quantity
and quality” of his armed
forces’ leadership.
Many U.S. commanders long
have argued that the South
Vietnamese soldier, if properly
led, Is at least as good as the
Communist guerrilla who is
rated very good indeed.
