Nixon Eyes Broad Troop Withdrawal From Vietnam
President Nixon may order 50 000 more troops home this month and another 50 000 in October raising the total to 125 000 withdrawn this year. An administration source says Wheeler backs a 50 000 man cut now with August and October withdrawals possible. The moves would reduce U S forces in Vietnam from 536 000 and follow Nixon's June 8 plan.
