Democrats and Republicans at the National Governors Conference clash over a proposal to pledge support for President Johnson’s Vietnam war. Michigan Governor Romney predicts failure to reach a three fourths majority, Utah Governor Rampton voices hope, while New Mexico Governor Cargo and Nevada Governor Laxalt urge restraint.
