Kennedy orders Taylor to Far East as Berlin talks stall
President Kennedy sent Gen Maxwell Taylor to the Far East to help draft defense plans against increased North Vietnamese communist activity in South Vietnam. He said talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko yielded no immediate hope for a Berlin settlement. The White House announced 10,000 more troops to Europe in case of a Berlin showdown and recalled Gen James Van Fleet to train U.S. troops in guerilla warfare. Taylor will meet Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem in Saigon to craft on the spot countermeasures against intensified Viet Cong attacks.
