GOP white paper blames LBJ for Vietnam escalation
A 37 page Republican white paper from House GOP research leaders accuses President Johnson of rhetoric that made Russia and China miscalculate and push Vietnam toward greater conflict. It traces U S policy back to 1950 under Truman and argues Democratic administrations created policy shifts that undermined resolve. The document aims to counter Johnson’s claim of continuing Eisenhower era commitments and cites earlier presidents, including Eisenhower and Kennedy, noting inconsistent statements and actions. The release planned for a news conference Wednesday with a continuation on page 2.

Steel firms boost wage offer before steel strike
Pittsburgh AP The steel industry raised its contract offer to United Steel workers on the eve of a pivotal directors meeting and eight days before a nationwide strike. The offer exceeded nine cents but fell far short of the union's 17.9 cent demand for 450000 workers earning about 4.40 per hour. An interim agreement expires Aug. 31 and union leadership faces a likely rejection at a Wednesday executive board meeting unless higher terms are put forward.
