A top South Wet Nam Of
ficial said today he is seeking
direct United Stats training
Of his country's troops to in
crease their combat effective
ness against Communist guer-
rillaS.
The official, Nguyen Dinh
Thuan, told reporters at the
White House that he had not
discussed this specifically in a
meeting with President Ken
nedy. but was taking the mat
ter up with other American
officials.
He is Minister of Security Co
ordination in the cabinet of
President Ngo Dinh Diem.
The security chief delivered
to Mr.. Kennedy a letter from
the South Wet Nam President.
While the letter was not made
public. he said it related to both
military and economic prob
lens and dealt with Communist
activity in Southeast Asia.
Response Sympathetic
He told newsmen that he had
met with a very sympathetic
response in his discussions with
United States officials, includ-
ing Mr.. Kennedy, and hoped
for a complete agreement very
soon"
Asked the nature of the
agreement he expected, he said
it concerned both military and
economic aid.
The United States now has
military advisory groups in
South Wet Nam. They train
Vietnamese, who in turn train
VietnameSe troops.
He said this method is good,
but that direct training of Wet
namese troops would be more
efficient.
He said that plan would re-
quire the presence of more
Americans in South Wet Nam.

AS the adjournment drive
continued, one major bill for
aid to municipal airports was
completed last night and sent
to the President.
Money Bills Await Action
House passage of the Peace
Corps moved that bill into the
final stage of conference with
the Senate.
The biggest task remaining is
for both Houses to put the fin
ishing touches on five appro-
priation bills, including Senate
action on foreign aid today. The
others are the $3.6 billion pub
lie works bill, military con-
struction, District of Columbia
and the last supplemental
money bill, being debated in
the House today.
The airport fight ended when
the Senate gave in to the House
by accepting, annual appropria-
tons instead Of advance con-
tract authority to finance the
program. Senator Monfoney
Democrat of Oklahoma, advised
this step reluctantly to avoid
a deadlock if the bill went back
to a conference committee.

annual appropriations will be
required, the House confereeS
promised to support a definite
