Problems Inseparable from

U.S. POLICY toward the conflict
in Vietnam has now been some¬
what clarified at the highest offi¬
cial level. At the same time, the
matter is still surrounded with
clouds of uncertainty. This si be¬
cause no one can yet know wheth¬
er the course decided upon by the
President can be effective and
bring about the desired ends, which
is to punish the Viet Coug suf¬
ficiently so that their will to con¬
tinue the war will be diminished
and that they will finally agree
to a negotiated truce. Nor can
anyone be completely sure as to
what, in the long pull, the decis¬
ion of Red China and) the Soviet
Union will be.
The White House decision, in
the language now fashionable in
Washington, follows a policy of
gradualism. In other words, an all
out drive in Viet Nam, which some
top military men are said to have
urged, was vetoed. This would
have required hundreds of thous¬
ands of US troops, plus still great¬
er numbers of South Vietnamese
forces, plus enormous masses of
material. The nod was given to
a middle course. American forces
will be immediately increased to
125,000 men, with more later.
Bombings will be stepped up.
Command arrangements will be
overhauled. Draft calls will grad¬
ually be doubled, to 35,000 a
month, and some reserve and
National Guard organizattions will
be brought to a higher state of
readiness.
Now it remains to be seen what
all this will accomplish. Classic
doctrine holds that a troop ratio
of 10-to-l is needed to defeat a
well-trained guerrilla force. Some
military leaders, of which General
Wheeler, head of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, is one, disagree they
think that with modern fire power
a 5-to-l ratio is closer to the
fact. In any event, U.S. training
is now to lay heavy strees on
antiguerrilla tactics.
The problems confronting us in
Vietnam are truly formidable. The
terrain is eminently suited to hit
andi-run guerrilla forces. The Viet
Cong are highly trained and ex¬
pert at disguise and infiltration.
They are ruthless in using terror
to control the civilian population.
The Viet Nam forces which op¬
pose them are largely, according
to observers, of indifferent quali¬
ty. Desertions are commonplace.
Great numbers of the Vietnamese
people are indifferent to the war.
and the successive governments
have been chaotically unstable.
Then there are the political
possibilities that accompany even
a limited! extension of the Ameri¬
can war effort in that unhappy
country. The public opinion polls
indicate that the President has a
substantial majority of citizens be¬
hind him. But there are numbers
of dissenters. So influential a com¬
mentator as Walter Lippman, for
instance, has taken the view that
we should not and cannot assume
the role of world policeman. There
is widespread 1 fear of what a full
scale war in Asia, brought on by
the inexorable force of events,
would involve. ,
Whether increased American ac¬
tion, with the higher casualties
and the heavy costs that are in¬
escapable part of it, will result in
a deepening of opposition in and
out of Congress is another of the
unanswerable questions.
Finally there are those who be¬
lieve that our commitments in
Viet Nam must be accompanied by
sharp reductions in high-priced
domestic programs. The White
House may be confronted with a
stiffening of the congressional at¬
titude toward spending.

fits under the 1965 Social Se¬
curity Law?
Some people need to act now
— Some should wait until later —
Cecil W. Collins, district manager

ville area has the following ad
viec about your social security

— or not take.

curity benefits you do not need

time. The 7% increase in bene¬
fits will be paid to you automatic¬
ally and the action you will need'
to take about hospital and medi¬
cal benefits will be explained to
you later - by mail.
If you are 65 years old or over,
and you have never filed a claim
for social security benefits, you
should contact the social security
people and) file a claim immedi¬
ately. You should do this even
though you are still working full
time. You might be eligible for
some payments and you should
file a claim in order to be eli¬
gible for hospital benefits next
year.
Children aged 18 to 22 wtho are

vorce may now qualify to receive

(paperboung). (The No. 1 na

There is a certain sensation in
reading an espionage story that is
inexpressible. Perhaps it is the
high suspense or the dangers en¬
countered by the characters.
Whatever the ingredients are,

them all. It is no surprise that

David Cornwell. For a time, he
taught school, but dissatisfied with
this, he turned to painting. Still
unsatisfied, he then took a job
in the Foreign Service. He denies
I ever being a spy, but tells us
I that he began writing spy stories
in his spare time. This is his
I third novel, the first two were
I “Call for the Dead” and “A Murder
of Quality.” Because of the sue
cess of this novel, he is now writ
I ing full-time. Needless to say, he
is continuing to write spy stories.
Realistically told, the setting is
London and Berlin. The author’s
main character, Alec Lemans, is
superbly portrayed as an agent in
the British Intelligence. He is 50
years of age, “a short man with
close-cropped, iron-gray hair, and
the physique of a swimmer. His
