Need More Troops For Viet War
Manila AP Gen Westmoreland told the Manila summit the war is far from over and he will need more troops in the days ahead. He cited improving Allied fighting morale and the need to clear and hold areas for pacification and reconstruction as part of the Saigon government’s broader effort. Allied forces in South Vietnam total just over one million. Communist strength is about 284,000. The allied force includes 705,000 South Vietnamese, 331,000 Americans, 45,000 South Koreans, 4,500 Australians, 2,000 Filipinos, 150 New Zealanders and 150 from Thailand. Westmoreland said the killed-in-action ratio is improving for the Allies. Continued on Page Four.
