Sophisticated wall to hold Viet Cong back in Vietnam
The United States plans an anti infiltration barrier of barbed wire and advanced devices along the DMZ to impede Communist infiltration from North to South Vietnam. Defense Secretary McNamara says it will complicate supply lines and movement, not fully stop it, as new airborne brigades and a US destroyer plan accompany the effort. Senator Tower criticizes the scheme as insufficient against Haiphong port traffic and static policy.
