Rusk Hints U S Could Enter DMZ if Needed
Secretary of State Dean Rusk left open the possibility that U S troops might enter the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam to ensure force safety. He said the U S would not move into the DMZ as policy but would act to protect troops and support ICC observers. American B 52 bombers from Guam struck suspected North Vietnamese targets in the DMZ four times since Saturday. The latest raid occurred today as Rusk urged ICC Commission members from Canada India and Poland to enter the DMZ and halt the zone’s use by the Communists. He suggested no more bombing if the ICC could verify North Vietnamese troop movements into the South. He rejected Soviet claims of attacks on Haiphong shipping, saying bombs landed in the target area and that North Vietnamese aircraft guns might have caused stray bullets.
