Paradoxically, the military men this reporter has talked to
privately seem, more dovish on what to do about the USS
Pueblo than many civilian officials and legislators.
In regard to this incident, in fact, there seem to be few
military hawks in the Pentagon. . j
Senior officers seem almost unanimously agreed the United
States must be extremely cautious in using military force in
connection with this hijacking.
The military force, if used, should not be applied until all
peaceful avenues are exhausted.
Some generals and admirals, in fact, see no military solu
tion. They see the incident as a fait accompli like the Berlin
Wall. Says one general: “We were caught flat-footed, but
there’s little we can do about it now. We may just have to
take it and live with it.”
Among the military men feelings are strong against a mili
tary or economic blockade of North Korea, against shelling
or hijacking North Korean navy or commercial ships, against
bombing North Korean cities and against any sort of ground
offensive against North Korean troops on the 38th.parallel.in
retaliation for the Pueblo hijacking.
Strong feeling among the military men Is that if military
action is taken, it should be a “quick, precise piece of sur
gery” limited to retrieving the Pueblo and its crew.
The operation should be accomplished in away that would
make clear to all concerned that retaliation was not intended.
Typical of this attitude, but more hawkish than most, is one
unofficial idea being argued among some military men who
are not themselves assigned to the problem.
The plan, curiously enough, is somewhat similar to the ex
ploit of Lt. Stephen Decatur more than a century and a half
ago when he and a small crew of daring men entered the
enemy harbor of Tripoli and destroyed the U.S. frigate
Philadelphia which had been captured after running aground.
The idea goes something like this:
The United States would send the Soviet Union a note tell
ing in precise detail what this country planned to do. This
note to be clearly spelled out to the North Koreans.
That note would say that over the horizon from Wonsan
harbor in North Korea the United States would station a
strong array of naval ships able to eliminate the ships, forti
fications and all other military installations at Wonsan.
Once these U.S. ships were in place, the United States would
prepare an unarmed tug bearing a white flag. At an an
nounced time, the tug would then steam without escort slowly
toward the North Korean coast and enter Wonsan harbor.
If not interfered with, the tug would then peacefully proceed
to take the Pueblo in tow, bring it out of the harbor and back
to U.S. possession.
The note to the Soviet Union would carefully point out that
the U.S. fleet would have instructions not to fire if everything
went according to schedule. “
RAY CROMLEY
WASHINGTON (NEA)
Though the capture of the USS Pueblo creates some severe
headaches for President Johnson, curiously enough this
sticky incident may ease some of his other burdens.
It should take some of the steam out of the marches and
other demonstrations protesting tlie Vietnam war.
It makes draft evasion recognizable for what it has been
all the time, a very serious matter indeed.
It will make it more difficult for those who disagree with
Johnson over Vietnam to claim that this is purely a local
war and that there is no international Communist planning
or co-ordination involved.
Though the congressional committee investigations of the
Tonkin Gulf incident may still be carried out as planned, any
assertions presented in that investigation, tending to indicate
the affair was rigged, will receive far less attention and be
given far less credence than before the Pueblo incident.
Johnson should have far less trouble getting his budget
through Congress in the shape he wants. He may now find it
possible to secure all or part of the tax increase he has been
asking for.
Johnson has been criticized in some quarters for not call
ing up units of the reserves. Now he has done so, and done so
at a time and in away that is not likely to raise widespread
heavy criticism even from those who had not wanted the re
serves called at all.
Despite official statements to the contrary, the United
States has been strained for enough experienced pilots for
the Vietnam war. The reserve call-up for the Korean crisis
will give the President the pilots he needs to ease the strain
caused by the Vietnam war, without having to drain dry the
minimum pool which must be held in the United States at all
times.
The Korean crisis will make it more difficult for some ofl
the President’s strongest critics in the Senate to gain the l
large audiences some had been commanding. It puts Sen.
Robert Kennedy, for example, somewhat on the spot.
Finally, the Pueblo incident should destroy in part the
creeping apathy and unconcern in some quarters that has
hampered a number of the President’s defense programs.

The Korean crisis marks the third reserve call up since

men as in the 1962 Cuban crisis, but both fall far short of
the sharp increase in active-duty manpower ordered by
President Kennedy in the 1960 confrontation with the
