WASHINGTON (UPI)-Pres
idential adviser Henry A.
Kissinger has postponed a
scheduled visit to Japan so he
can help President Nixon
during the Vietnam War crisis.
But the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff describes the
situation in the war zone as
“stabilized.”
Ronald L. Ziegler, White
House press secretary, said
Tuesday that Kissinger had
given up plans to fly to Japan
from Canada Saturday, and
would make the trip in early
May.
Ziegler said Kissinger, nation
al security affairs adviser to
Nixon, would remain at his post
because of his responsibilities
in keeping the President
informed on military and
diplomatic developments in the
war.
But Ziegler stressed that the
postponement did not relate “to
any specific change in attitude*
regarding the situation in
Vietnam.” Kissinger had
planned an “unofficial” three
day trip to Japan under the
sponsorship of the U.S.-Japa
nese Economic Council. He was
scheduled to confer with
Japanese leaders.
Adm. Thomas H. Moorer, the
joint chiefs chairman, briefed
congressional leaders on the
war situation Tuesday and
talked to reporters, telling them
“the South Vietnamese are
fighting extremely well.”
“For the last 48 hours the
situation has been stabilized,”
Moorer said.
Moorer declined to give a
short-term or long range
outlook on battle prospects. He
also refused to speculate on
what other military steps the
United States might take.
“We keep our options open,”
Moorer said.
The United States has in
creased its air and naval forces
in Southeast Asia since the
North Vietnamese started their
offensive almost two weeks ago
and has launched a bombing
campaign of North Vietnam.
But U.S. officials repeatedly
have denied any intentions of
commiting American ground
troops to the fighting.
j Senate refuses
I to declare war
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The
Sena te Tuesday overwhelmingly
rejected a proposal that it
decide whether to declare war
on North Vietnam.
The proposal was offered
Tuesday by Sen. Mike Gravel,
D-Alaska, an outspoken and
often unpredictable dove. He
opposed a declaration of war
but wanted to bring it to a vote,
hoping its rejection would tell
President Nixon something new
about Senate feeling on the
war.
On a 78 to 7 vote, the Senate
tabled—and thus ended con
sideration of—Gravel’s propo
sal, which read:
“A state of war is hereby
formally declared to exist
between the United States and
the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam (North Vietnam); and
the President is hereby author-

Harley Langdale
buried today
VALDOSTA, Ga. (UPI) — Funeral services for Harley
Langdale, a leading industrialist and judge of the
Recorder’s Court, were scheduled for 11 a.m. today in the
First Baptist Church here.
An active outdoorsmen and leader in the fight to protect
wildlife from poaching, Langdale died at his home
Monday while resting between a fishing trip and a turkey
shoot.
Langdale, 84, had been appointed to the Game and Fish
Commission in 1961 by then Gov. Ernest Vandiver. He was
named conservationist of the year in 1966 by the Georgia
Sportsmen’s Federation.
Described as one of Georgia’s wealthiest men, he was
also president of the Langdale Co., which deals in
turpentine and wood products. He also had large
landholdings in Georgia and Florida.

Said Gravel, in pleading for a
vote on his proposal: “Maybe
we could make it clear to the
President if there are sufficient
‘no’ votes that there isn’t
sufficient support for this war.”
The issue was debated for
half an hour by a handful of
senators. Sen. Jacob K. Javits,
R-N.Y., argued that the Senate
would be misunderstood no
matter how it voted on the
issue. The best course, he said,
was to sidestep the issue by
tabling it.
It was offered as an
amendment to Javits’ bill,

ground rules under which a
President would decide in the
future to commit American
troops to combat without a
declaration of war.
Javits’ Wil—considered cer
tain to pass the Senate but
facing an uncertain future in
the House—generally would
require a President to obtain
congressional approval before
commiting U.S. forces to a
military conflict.
The bill has no application to
the Vietnam War.
