Policy foes urge hostility toward Red China and UN seat
Three experts told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the United States has been misled by earlier China policy witnesses who urged recognition of Red China and admission to the United Nations. Yale professor Rowe called policy toward Beijing “intense and deep hostility” and warned it misleads Hanoi and Moscow. Former Rep. Studd urged intensified bombing of North Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh's war effort, while Prof. Taylor said the U S must aid South Vietnam with programs backed by force. The witnesses were invited by Republicans to counter prior testimony supporting containment without isolation. Fulbright hopes to wrap hearings by Wednesday.
