Mc Namara says political disorder hurts Viet Nam war effort
Secretary McNamara told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that political ferment in South Viet Nam has reduced U S military effectiveness and that Viet Cong and North Vietnamese fatalities fell about 50 percent in the first quarter as a measure of the impact. He warned the decline would be temporary and emphasized restraint and limited objectives while noting Viet Cong recruiting shifts to younger ages. He described White House discussions as progress reports and said Reservists would not be needed this year unless an emergency arises.
