World opinion mixed on sending U S troops to Thailand
A preliminary U S Information Agency survey of global reaction shows broad Allied support and neutralist skepticism in Near East and Asian nations.

In South Vietnam, enthusiasm waned as clashes with Pathet Lao seemed unlikely and U S reinforcement appeared limited to Thailand.
