Continued Role. From Saigon the travelers went to Bangkok, where they were greeted by Thailand's Prime Minister Thanom Kittikachorn in a gilded, red-curtained hall of Government House. Later in their stay they had an audience with King Bhumibol Adulyadej in his lavishly landscaped palace. The Thais discussed recent strains in their country's relations with the U.S. and said that efforts to combat Communist insurgency in northeast Thailand were, in Thanom's words, having "rather satisfactory" results...
Everywhere the group went, the main questions on the agenda were the Viet Nam war and what is to follow when it ends. As they charted their continent's future course, Asia's leaders argued with out exception that the U.S. must continue to play a prominent role. Talking with tour members in Bangkok, Thailand's Foreign Minister Thanat Khoman urged the U.S. to abandon its tendency to talk about "so-called priorities" between trouble spots in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere.

Randy Parry (Belle Bottom) develops the indifferent drunken daughter's part well, but is overshadowed by the sensational obscene clowning of Ed Strong and Randy Guffey...
...most pressing of these issues concerns the relationship of federal highways to mass transportation systems and what should be the federal role in financing the two. Last month Rep. John Bingham (D-N.Y.) introduced in the House a bill to help finance mass transportation with money which now goes to highways. Highway construction money comes out of a special trust fund which was set up only after the most intricate and laborious legislative maneuverings. Bingham's bill proposes to use money from this highway trust fund for mass transportation needs, such as building and improving subway systems. Bingham...
