Experts See Possible Break in Vietnam War This Year
AP reports a rising belief among Southeast Asia specialists that a preliminary settlement in Vietnam could occur in 1967 or early 1968.

Higher Draft Calls Likely To Meet President's Needs
Washington sources say higher draft calls and a possible two billion dollar supplemental defense request will accompany President Johnsons Viet Nam troop increase. He announced 45 000 to 50 000 more troops and warned fiscal 1968 defense outlays could top 73 billion by up to four billion. Pentagon study aims to gauge effects of a 525 000 Viet Nam force next summer on overall U S military strength. Draft calls through September average about 23 000 a month with last quarter likely above 35 000. McNamara believes 2 billion can be trimmed from the defense budget to partly offset a potential four billion overrun, with a supplemental request early next year.

Tax Rite Will Start This Year

The average taxpayer could see a 10 percent withholding increase and a worker with 40 deductible every two weeks would see 44. Most people face a small surcharge but about 16 million in the lowest brackets would be exempt.
