Washington reports cautious optimism that the tide may turn against the Communists in South Vietnam. A Defense Department spokesman said the next 90 days could bring marked improvement after Honolulu talks with McNamara and leaders. U.S. aid has aided an offensive shift, while Saigon dispatches note increased VC attacks near Saigon and overall Southeast Asia battles averaging near 1,000 casualties weekly. Gen.
