Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1968
spite a marathon briefing by
Defense Secrttary Robert S.
McNamara, some Senate admi
nistration critics still voiced
suspicions today that the United
States provoked the 1964 Gulf of
Tonkin incident as an excuse to
bomb North Vietnam.
Chairman J. William Ful
bright of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee said the
portions of the testimony
McNamara released publicly do
not ‘‘tell the whole story.”
But he said no decision has
been made whether to continue
the committee’s probe into the
incident.
Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore.,
said nothing McNamara told the
committee had changed the
view he has held for three years
that the Tonkin Incident result
ed from an act of ‘‘constructive
aggression” by the United
States.
Whose Fault?
McNamara, In his last and
perhaps toughest appearance on
Capitol Hill, spent seven hours
behind closed doors with the
committee Tuesday trying to
convince dissident members
that North Vietnam, without
provocation, attacked the U.S.
destroyers Maddox and Turner
Joy on Aug. 2 and Aug. 4, 1964.
The circumstances surround
ing the attack are crucial since
it led to the retaliatory bombing
of North Vietnam and Impelled
Congress to pass a resolution
giving the committee virtually
unlimited authority to conduct
the war.
McNamara, due to leave the
Pentagon at the end of the
month to become president of
the World Bank, admitted for
the first time publicly that the
Maddox and Turner Joy were
intelligtnce - gathering vessels
equipped with electronic surveil
lance gear. The administration
had claimed in 1964 that the two
ships were on a “routine
mission.”
8 Mile Limit
The secretary also startled
some mebers of the commit
tee by declaring that the two
ships were authorized to come
as close as eight miles to North
Vietnam’s coastline.
But the secretary insisted
that the two vesstls were in
international waters at all times
during and prior to the attack.
He said North Vietnam’s
present 12-mile territorial limit
was not in effect in 1964.
Fulbright told newsmen that
was only a “contention” of the
administration and said he was
not certain whether it was true.
Morse said he told McNamara
“he completely disagreed with
everything he said.
“Having the Maddox and
Turner Joy there was an act of
constructive aggression on our
part,” he said. “North Vietnam
had every reason to fear what
we were doing.”
HEALTH BENEFITS
NEW YORK (UPl)—Health
insurance benefits paid by in
surance companies amounted
to $3 billion during the first
half of 1967, reports the Health
Insurance Institute.
This was five per cent — or
$157 million — more than was
received by policy holders dur
ing the same period last year.

Decorators
Mrs. C. M. Beckham (1) and Mrs. R. A. Simpson of
the Hospital Auxiliary decorations committee work
on the organization’s coat of arms for the “Regency
Ball” to be held Friday night at the Elks Club.
Dinner will be served from 7 to 9 followed by the
coronation of the king, Carl Richardson, and the
queen, who will be named at the ball.
Griffin called Kirk an “all
wool Jackass” and dared him to
debate him on national televi
sion. Kirk has tried in vain to
entice Wallace into a face-to
face debate.
Kirk, who was in California
on a speaking tour, was not im
mediately available for com
ment.
Griffin, who is teamed with
Wallace on a third party ticket,
said in an interview with the
Tallahassee Democrat newspa
per that tht Republican govern
or of Florida was a "pompous,
übiquitous egomaniac.”
He said Kirk has been “run
ning all over the country telling
the folks how to solve the prob
lems of the nation when he has
got more than he can say grace
over in Tallahassee.”
Griffin, a Democrat, was
Georgia’s governor in 1955-59.

Lt. Gov. Smith
Reelected After
Another Struggle
ATLANTA (UPI) — The Sen
ate’s organization committee,
formed last year during the
power struggle with Lt. Gov.
George T. Smith, re-elected of
ficers Tuesday during a closed
door meeting apparently high
lighted by another struggle with
Smith.
Sources said a move to oust
Smith as chairman was narrow
ly averted when the 15 mem
bers agreed it would cause un
due embarrassment.
The group re-elected Smith,
President Pro Tem Julian Webb
as vice chairman and adminis
trative floor leader Frank Cog
gin as secretary.
The committee also agreed to
the formation of three subcom
mittees to study changes in
Senate procedure. The subcom
mittees will study sessions,
standing committee and meth
ods of selecting committees and
their officers.
Also approved was a new
method or calling committee
meetings. Until now only the
chairman could set a committee
meeting but under the change
three subcommittee chairmen
or five members also could set
committee meetings.
Coggin won a resolution last
week extending the committee
until Aug. 31 to complete Its
business of studying the Sen
ate’s outdated rules and the
committee recommended Tues
day that it be continued until
1971.
Members said such a huge
appropriations committee crip
ples regular business when lt
meets.
