NATO Alliance Endangered By De Gaulle Message
President Johnson warned President de Gaulle that France's plan to reorganize NATO challenges the alliance and could alter French American relations. The U S signaled it would remove NATO linked bases in France rather than cede control, while leaving doors open to negotiate on allied terms. France reportedly aims to pull French forces from NATO command, possibly transferring troops to West Germany and seeking new arrangements with Bonn.

Red China Intervention Warning Shapes Viet Nam Policy Debate
Asian expert A Doak Barnett testified before the Senate urging drastic U S policy changes to deter Red China from possible direct intervention in Viet Nam. He warned escalation by the United States could provoke Beijing and risk major war if China feels its vital interests threatened. Barnett spoke as Fulbright hearings warned Americans of potential Red Chinese involvement. In Saigon, American air raids against North Viet Nam intensified with 53 missions, targeting oil storage near Hanoi, a Thanh Hoa missile site, roads, railways, ferries, and bridges along the 17th Parallel area.
