John Roche, a special consultant to President Johnson, resigns from Americans for Democratic Action after the group backs Senator Eugene McCarthy for the presidency, opposing LBJ.
Sen. Eugene McCarthy charged President Johnson’s administration is afraid to negotiate a peace settlement in Vietnam.

He opposed tactical nuclear weapons and noted no Kennedy endorsement yet.
Senate leader Mansfield said in a prepared speech at the University of Maine that South Vietnam shows no stability and that hamlets and cities remain under strong National Liberation Front influence.
