Washington AP reports Arthur Z. Gardiner, former AID Saigon director and head of International Voluntary Services, says the United States is creating more Viet Cong than it destroys. He urges a peace settlement and U.S. troop withdrawal to save lives amid Tet and Vietnam unrest. Gardiner notes IVS volunteers operate with U.S. and Saigon support and that AID funds IVS, while his views are personal. He cites hatred of America from 500,000 U.S. forces and upheaval caused by advisers and military actions.
