Limited Military Action by U.S. In Asia Rules Out 'Formal' War
AP reports that a formal declaration of war by the United States over the Vietnam conflict is unlikely due to strategic risks. Washington favors limited involvement aimed at defending South Vietnam, avoiding a clash with North Vietnam, Red China, or the Soviet Union. The State Department notes armed aggression exists without a state of war, citing collective self defense under Article 51. In Chicago, literacy tests for voters are struck down by the federal voting rights act, with 15 states still maintaining writing or reading requirements though rarely enforced. Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire keep literacy rules, while time limits for voting vary.
