Emerges AsStrong ManIn Viet NamWest Pointer DiesDuring Reel Attack On Small OutpostSAIGON, South Viel Nam (AP) — Lt. Gen. NguyenKhanh, commander of theVietnamese armed forces,scored a diplomatic victory over the United States Saturday and emerged once again as the itrong man of South Viet Nam.A communique signed jointly by Khanh, Chief of Slate Phan Khac Suu and Premier Tran Van Iluong purported to turn all power over to the civilian government — a point for which the United Stales had pressed.It also provided for the release of all political prisoners — about 14, counting four members of the defunct High National Council — locked up in the military purge of Dec. 20. This had been another American demand.Asked Other PointsBut the United States initially had called for two other important points.The embassy here wanted the generals to backtrack on the dissolution of the High National Council, South Viet Nani’s provisional legislature.More important, the United States wanted guarantees that the military would not step in again, overturning more successive civilian governmens.Neither of those conditions was met in the communique.West Pointer KilledMY YEN, South Viet Nam (AP) — A young West Pointgraduate died Saturday callingfor reinforcements during a Communist attack on this outpost only 10 miles from Saigon. The gunfire was heard clearly in the capltol.Help came, but it was only from the air — and it was too late. The Viet Cong had cut off ground approaches and stymied nearby artillery support.U.S, advisers expressed the belief that scores of other American* with small Vietnamese units scattered in the provinces around Saigon and involved in a major pacification program are faced with the fame fate.The Viet Cong swarmed out of the paddy fields and swept through My Yen at 3 a.m. The lieutenant, a U.S. Army sergeant later wounded, . and the regular Vietnamese troops with them fought for their lives.Barrages of Viet Cong fire preceded the attack, demolishing the old two-story French concrete villa serving as a command post.TrSeDt4*WRlt;WIDOWED BY WAR — Mrs. Rosemary Reach, whose husband, Amy First Lieutenant William T.

Hyman G. Rick-over, father of the nuclear submarine, the committee called for sharp improvement in Navy management and in assignment of personnel to complex technical programs.It especially criticized a system which permits technical personnel to be shifted about before projects are finished, Rickover testified that the present system made the pinpointing of responsibility almost impossible and, in the Thresher case, the nearest you can come is to say that the Navy fs responsible. . .all you can do is to point to a collectivity, The nuclear-powered Thresher vanished with 12# men aboardWASHINGTON (UPI) - Vice President-elect Hubert H. Humphrey said Saturday night that the administration’s war on poverty can be won in a decade if steps are taken to encourage economic growth and higher employment.Increased federal expenditures alone will not bring us this victory,” he told more than 400 persons at the national inaugural conference of the United Jewish Appeal.We must recognize that only a vibrant and expanding econtinuing war upon the ignorance, omy will produce the new jobs so essential in producing new opportunity for the forgotten,he said.Boarder EffortsThe attack calls for broadened efforts in education, health care, urban development, natural resources, transportation and communications, Humphrey said.“And we must wage a continuing war upon the ignorance, discrimination and prejudice which President Johnson so properly called ‘poverty of the spirit/ ” he said. If we resolve to make no small plans, to accept no small results, and to regard each partial victory as a stepping stone, we can reach out stated goal within a decade — a summit where all Americans can breathe fully the air of freedom and opportunity because poverty no longer stiflesthem.”5.4 Million BenefitThe beneficiaries, he said, will be the 5.4 million American families, including 8 million children, who live on $2,000 or less a year. To ignore them, he said, would be morally wrong and, I might add, economically foolish.The United Jewish Appeal began a two-day conference Saturday formally kicking off iti 1965 campaign for $109,400,006 to help 750,000 Jews in 31 foreign countries.dent, off wThefor tlwasandbrougger.3The moto: miles of la! cent perio The to 5. miles ing tl Sta(CWoman Cleared imu****InTiOiKU(AP)shotof thi to lamile*Sixte tured to 50 Thi came after ward Dick, tow.Th. detei lande Ting; of K capti cials comi If woul land: 36 h Fr armlt; gren tip cpore
