...time with British Prime Minister Harold Wilson discussing the chances for peace in Vietnam. He must realize, along with most of the Red leaders in Eastern Europe, that as long as Communist China is preoccupied with its cultural revolution, the burden of supporting North Vietnam with arms and materiel will fall increasingly on the European bloc of Communism...
...fuel, feed and arm the Allied fighting machine, some 6,000 tons of war materiel must be funneled daily through the port of Saigon. The labor is usually done by Vietnamese stevedores; the men of the U.S. Army's 4th Transportation Command seldom lift anything heavier than a clipboard as they direct the flow of goods. But last week the Saigon Dock Workers Union went out on strike. To keep things moving off the ships, 800 U.S. soldiers stepped in to do the heaving and toting ordinarily done by three times that many Vietnamese. From cannon barrels...
Never in history has a nation applied military power with more painstaking precision and reasoned restraint than the U.S. has in its bombing of North Viet Nam.

Some protest groups have collected funds to buy medical supplies for Vietnamese Communists, and on a few occasions have attempted to block troop trains-acts that would be treasonable in war time but are difficult to punish legally in peacetime. Chairman Joe Pool of Texas, sponsor of the bill...
