Ford defends war stance amid bomb buyback claim
House Republican Leader Gerald Ford says reports of mismanagement in the Viet Nam war are alarming after noting a Pentagon plan to buy back up to 30,000 500-pound bombs from allies for B52 raids. Pentagon officials deny the plan and say no such purchases are current. The controversy arose from a March 31 McNaughton letter listing surplus items West Germany may sell. Ford repeated his criticism at a news conference with Everett Dirksen.
