Johnson Viet Nam peace row challenges credibility
President Johnson's Viet Nam peace offensive faces a credibility clash that could aid North Vietnam propaganda. The bombing restraint leaves 25 percent of North Vietnam's area and about 10 percent of its people exposed to attack as American planes fly near the northern boundary. A Saigon youth group exposing corruption sees top leaders jailed. South Vietnam's press grows more critical of America under government guidance. In Wisconsin, Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy defeats Johnson 56 percent. Nixon wins 80 percent. The AP finds deep Democratic disunity.
