McCarthy Calls Bomb Halt an Opener Not Trump Card
Senator Eugene J. McCarthy described the North Vietnam bombing halt as an opener, not a trump card, saying it should have come earlier and signals Hanoi's willingness to move toward concessions. He added a new government in Saigon is needed and dismissed the halt as a political maneuver. He also noted many who backed a bombing pause first would benefit, and predicted Humphrey's strong presidential chances.
