U S Aides Back New Vietnamese Plea For Troops
In Saigon the U S Military Assistance Command urged Defense Secretary McNamara to increase American forces in South Vietnam. Assistant Defense Secretary Sylvester said a staff study suggested a specific reinforcement number, while Saigon’s Ky requested a higher troop level. US Embassy spokesman Zorthian and others indicated figures were similar. McNamara gave no commitment. The plan may tie to a broader buildup including 100,000 Vietnamese recruits, raising total Vietnamese armed forces above 600,000. US forces in Vietnam numbered under 75,000, with about 83,000 already in or en route. The final recommendation was expected near 179,000 per a past AP report, though denied by McNamara.
