Dirksen Sees LBJ Popularity Slipping Over Viet Nam War
Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen says the Viet Nam war is eroding President Johnsons political popularity with little he can do. He cites Johnsons northeastern swing and notes polls show lower popularity, while Nixon and Fulbright press for policy changes. Kennedy's rising polling is seen as reaction to Johnsons Southeast Asia stance. Dirksen warns 1968 dynamics differ.

Defense Department Misleads On Savings Claims, House Panel Says
A House Armed Services subcommittee sharply questioned the Defense Department’s cost reduction claims.

The review, prompted by a July 1965 announcement of 5.3 billion in savings, highlighted dubious items including zipper trousers and reallocated surplus missiles.
