Editorial Calls Halt to Bombing in North Vietnam
The Washington Star, once a strong Johnson backer, editors urge stopping bombing in North Vietnam unconditionally. It argues bombing failed to deter infiltration or force Hanoi to the conference table, warns of a wider war, and favors an unconditional halt to North strikes while continuing support for South Vietnam. The piece highlights risks, including Soviet and Chinese reactions, and cites Senate discussion by Sen. John Sherman Cooper.
