Vietnam withdrawal marks first cut in 15 years
UPI reports the United States trims 25 000 troops from South Vietnam the first reduction since 1954 leaving more than 510 000. The move aims to show sincerity in Paris talks and press North Vietnam to withdraw from the South, with Northern forces estimated at about 100 000. The Midway talks seek to ease Communist distrust between allies and boost momentum toward a peace settlement.
