Plans include expanded training and overseas programs including behind the Iron Curtain, plus a reverse Peace Corps. Volunteers warn against glamorizing success and urge patience with inconclusive efforts as nations emulate the model.

Peace Corps veteran Vaughn leads corps into bold expansion

Vaughn, a tough 45 year old former foreign aid official and ex U.S. ambassador to Panama, now heads the Peace Corps as it plans a rapid expansion from 12,000 volunteers in 46 nations to 16,000 by 1967 and 50,000 by 1970. The corps expects 200,000 volunteers by 1980, reshaping public service and careers.
