Thyng argues for rapid U S win in Vietnam in 10 days
In March former Air Force brigadier general Harry Thyng said the United States could win the Vietnam War in 10 days using conventional weapons. After securing the Republican nomination for the U S Senate seat, he revised the estimate, claiming North Vietnam’s military had strengthened but that victory could still come within a brief period with minimal personnel loss. He blames Hanoi’s leadership and calls for destroying North Vietnam’s nerve center and supply lines, arguing civilians now run the war and the military should have full authority.

Election Reforms May Claim Priority
Washington AP reports delayed election reforms may gain priority in the 90th Congress if Johnson signs a bill to finance presidential campaigns through income tax check-offs. The measure would provide about 30 million dollars to each party to back the 1968 presidential race, with little spending safeguards and unclear rules for other campaigns. Johnson is expected to seek tighter controls on contributions and spending, but the legislation lacks definitions of legitimate expenditures and separate funding rules for national committees.
