London Flying Troops
To Keep Guiana Order

LONDON, Feb. 16 (AF} The
Defense Ministry said two COM
panies of troops have been
detailed to fly today to British
Guiana to help maintain order
in a general strike threatening
the regime of Premier Cheddi
Jagan.
The ministry said the COL
ony's government had asked for
reinforcements Ito stand by for
duties in aid of the civil power. "
The ministry's announce
ment said the troops were
travelling in three planes from
the Stanstead Airport in Eng
land. A ministry spokesman
said they should be arriving
some time tomorrow afternoon.
In addition to the troops
from England, the Defense Min
istry said, two companies of the
Royal Hampshire Regiment
have been sent from Kingston,
Jamaica. A spokesman as
sumed these soldiers already
were in Georgetown, the Guiana
capital.
Policies Held Not at Issue
The Colonial Office said the
troop movements were being
made "for the sole purpose of
maintaining law and order, and
are without prejudice to the
views of Her Majesty's Gov
eminent on the policies giving
rise to the present situation"
British Gov. Sir Ralph Grey
modified volunteer soldiers
Tuesday and banned the as
sembly of more than five per-
sons within a half mile radius
of Parliament buildings in
Georgetown after strikes.
The strikers are opposing
tough tax measures proposed
in the budget, and charge that
independence for the colony,
which DR.. Jagan is demanding
by the end of next May, would
end liberty in British Guiana.
DR.. Jagan charged a week

Secretary OF DEFENSE NC
Namara will fly to Hawaii this
week end to confer and check
up on the situation in Wet Nam
with military commanders and
diplomats in the Western Pa
cific area. 1t is Mr.. McNamara's
third such trip in the last two
months.
At the Pearl Harbor meeting
also will be United States Am
bassador Frederick E. Noting,
ir.. and Gen. Paul D. Harkins,
the new top United States mill
tary commander in Wet Nam.
Optimism Over Situation.
AS the meeting was an
nounced, other United States
officials expressed optimism
that the Wet Cong Communist
forces gradually could be
brought under control over a
period of 5 to 10 years.
Officials said there would be
no spectacular victories or CHI
mactic battles if their predic-
tons of gradual victory come
true.
They said the United States
is providing only marginal aid
to South Wet Nam and that it
is fighting its own war against
the Wet Cong.
Reforming Tactics
Officials said President Ngo
Dinh Diem was reforming his
tactics along the pattern of
successful counter-g uerrilla
wars in Malaga and the Philli-
pines.
Sources also reported that
the United States does not ex-
pect open Intervention by Com
munist China in the South Wet
Nam fighting unless a world
war breaks out over Berlin or
some other major issue, or I'M
less the West openly attacks
North Wet Nam.
Neither of these prospects is
considered likely.
Hartman Going Along
Going with Mr.. Mcnamara
to Pearl Harbor will be w.
Averell Hartman, Assistant
Secretary of State for Far
Eastern Affairs.
Also in the group from
Washington will be Gen. Lyman
Lemnitzer, chairman Of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff; Assist
ant Secretary of Defense Paul
H. Mite, in charge of military
aid programs, and Brig. Gen.
William B. Rosson, recently
appointed as the head of the
Army's new special warfare
section.
Mr.. Mcnamara announced
after his first trip to Hawaii
for conferences with Admiral
Harry D. Felt, the Pacific
commander, that he would
make similar periodic checks
on developments in Wet Nam
and on the progress in the
program to help Wet Nam
counter the Wet Cong Commu-
mist threat.
Mr.. Mcnamara and the
others will leave Washington
Sunday, and except to return
here Tuesday morning.

Extra Year
Reported
Ordered

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
Feb. 16 (AP).-Tours Of duty
in South Wet Nam for certain
United States Army personnel
serving in helicopter units have
been extended from 6 to 18
months, an informed source
said today.
Technically, the men involved
had been here on temporary
duty for a period of six months.
The extension reported prob
ably applies only to key per-
sonnet in helicopter companies,
such as the pilots themselves.
The informant emphasized
that a heightened term would
not apply to most of the esti-
mated 1000 United States
servicemen now in South Wet
Nam.
About three-quarters of the
servicemen here are assigned
on temporary duty, presumably
to avoid advertising the United
States military buildup to the
International Control Commits
sion, charged with reporting
violations of the 1854 Geneva
truce agreement.
That agreement ended the
Indo-C China war. Technically,
only 685 foreign military per-
sonnet were to be stationed
permanently in South Wet Nam
under the agreement. and
similar restrictions were placed
on foreign forces in North Wet
Nam.
Followed Red Buildup
The United States decision
last December to increase it's
forces here substantially above
the Geneva limit came only
after accusations that Com
munist North Wet Nam had
flagrantly violated truce terms
for years, allowing a buildup of
Soviet and Communist Chinese
forces there.
Since the United States de-
cision to increase forces here,
the number of servicemen and
quantities and types of military
equipment have been classified,
that is made secret or conf
Dental or restricted informa-
ton.
Information on the extern
sion of the tour here for hell
copter personnel also was clas-
sified.
One source said some of the
American military personnel
now here on temporary assign
ment will be replaced by per-
manent personnel. Tour of duty
for permanent assignees in
South Wet Nam is 10 months.
There are now three combat
helicopter companies in South
Wet Nam. stationed along the
length of the country. Each
company has about 200 men
and about Is H-2l helicopters,
each capable of carrying IA
men.
Copters Transport Troops
The helicopters are in use
daily, transporting Wet Nam
ese troops into battle. The
pilots and gunners on helicop-
tiers, United States Army men,
are under the same orders ap-
plying to all United States serv-
ice personnel here, not to fire
on Communist Wet Cong ex-
cept in self-defense.
Nevertheless, they are trad
ing shots with Communists
more often as they are used
increasingly on missions.
Helicopters remain under
control of the United States,
but work in close liaison with
Wet Namese forces.
Eventually, it is hoped Wet
Namese helicopter pilots will
take over the troop-carrying
job, and more than 100 Wet
NameSe pilot candidates are re-
ported scheduled to begin train
ing in the United States in
March. In the meantime, the
shortage of trained helicopter
pilots here is acute.
At least two United States
helicopters here have been lost
since December 1, but no Amer

warranted and undemocratic

DR.. Everstine, who ordinarily
sticks quietly to the task Of
translating into bills proposals
handed to him by legislators
let his hair down yesterday
after tracing the history OF
legislative processes from the
time Of the Magma Carta.
He said he wasn't taking 9
position on whether reappor-
tionment should have beer
brought about mo matter which
way you slice it, one fact stands
out: The court was exer-
cising legislative powers-an
unwarranted and undemocraCiC
exercise of power"
Between speeches, the legis-
lators were doing a heavy
amount of politiking over lead
ership posts for the 1868 ses-
sion which begins January 8.
Gilbert GUIDE. new State
Senator from Montgomery, was
trying to line up support to put
him in as Republican minority
leader in the Senate. Delegate
J. Glenn Beall, jr., Of Allegany,
son of United States Senator
Beall, seemed to be making real
Roadway in his drive for the
Republican leadership in the
House Of Delegates.
But the biggest scrambling
was among the Democrats who
will control both houses. as
they usually do. For them,
there are the plums Of presid-
ing officers of each house. ma
jority leaderShips and chair
manshipS of the committees.
Gov. Tawes did his part in
getting the lawmakers oriented
for the 90-day session. He told
them that he and they have
a mandate ito carry on the
government Of this State as
skillfully as possible, as effec-
lively as possible, and econom-
ically as possible for the next
four years"
For Nancy Brown. a Univer-
Sity of Maryland student who
won a seat in the House of
Delegates in her first try for
office, a veteran lawmaker had
this advice: Don't open your
mouth until next year."
Miss Brown. an attractive
Democrat from Cecil County,
was gaily ignoring the advice.
And the veterans didn't seem
to mind it a bit.
