Pentagon Eyes Small Reserve Mobilization For Viet Nam
Pentagon officers discuss a modest initial mobilization of about 30 000 reservists to enable deployment of at least one additional division to Vietnam over the next months. Call up would likely split among Army and National Guard, with Marine reserves and smaller Air Force and Navy components. Deployment could occur between May and November to help Gen Westmoreland regain the initiative, as strategic reserves have been drained.

New Hampshire vote seen as warning to White House
UPI reports congressional critics view Senator McCarthy's New Hampshire victory as a warning signal to the White House on Vietnam policy. Senate leaders Mansfield and Dirksen, along with Rep. Ryan, say the show of support signals public doubts about Johnson's war conduct and a possible generation driven challenge. Rockefeller allies call the surge a caution to the White House.

Sit-in protests erupt at district offices amid school unrest
In a morning, a group including Mexican Americans gathered in the auditorium and disrupted daily activities. After lunch, about 80 more joined a boycott as protests spread across six high schools. A sit-in at the District Attorney's Office demanded removal of police and deputies from schools, with 25 protesters later occupying Asst. Dist. Attorney William Rizzi's office. Bert Corona led the group, stating ongoing law enforcement presence risks further unrest. After talks with city officials, the crowd left and planned daily follow-ups. Jefferson High School named Lewis J. Johnson Jr. principal, a move officials said was not in response to student demands.
