McNamara predicts long fight in South Viet Nam
Defense Secretary Robert McNamara said the United States faces a long, hard struggle against the Communists in South Viet Nam but reiterated there will be no plan to send combat troops. He toured a fortified village north of Saigon with Gen. Lemnitzer and Gen. Harkins, and outlined U S aid goals alongside broader regional talks in Athens and Bangkok. He stressed patience and perseverance for the Vietnamese army with U S backing to achieve an independent, neutral Viet Nam.
