...both the United States and the South Vietnamese to cope with the attacks. We watched the government of South Vietnam and the American military call in air strikes against their own cities and their own civilians. We watched the whole Eastern industrial suburbs of Saigon, Gia Dinh, burned out, sector after sector, for five days running. And the thousands--hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring out of the area. We watched the whole of the area just south of the Ton Son Nhut Airport being burned out segment after segment for four and five days running. When we left they...
...same time, Eckstein shows, economic growth is being maintained--stimulated in 1968 almost entirely by the private sector. In the last few years the stimulus came from Vietnam spending. This means that the increase in private demand this year will probably make up for the levelling of the total defense budget. In this sense "the economy is being weaned from its dependence on military spending," he says...
This plan and other plans were carried out with a unique blend of private enterprise and the public sector. You will remember that nonprofit corporations took part in both the Waterfront and the Central Business District. Merchants in the business community raised the "seed" money: in one case $200,000, and in the other case $250,000.

When two American G.I.'s were stopped, the Viet Cong hauled them from their car, delivered a "verdict" on them and summarily shot them for the benefit of the gathered townspeople. Some of Saigon's worst fighting took place in Cholon, the Chinese sector and a traditional stronghold of anti-government feeling.

Campaign Themes. Under JOBS (for Job Opportunities in Business Sector), the Government will refer the unskilled to one or another of 103 companies that have shown interest in the program. The firms would provide on-the-job training, with Washington picking up the tab for all extra costs (transportation, education, medical services) up to an annual $3,500 per worker. The aim: to put 100,000 hard-core unemployed on the job by June 1969, and 500,000 to work by 1971. To coordinate the plan, the President created a 65-man "Alliance committee," chaired by Henry Ford II, whose...
