President Nixon aims to pull 50 000 more American soldiers from Vietnam under Vietnamization plans with a steady pace unless communist activity surges. He warned of a disturbing new development as infiltration rises, though not yet enough for a major offensive. The move comes amid political and timing pressures tied to Tet holidays and adviser cautions.
