A Brutal Childhood
Ever since discovery of her
body Wednesday, most of the
Arlington detective force has
been interviewing psychiatrists,
security officers, friends, coll
leagues and neighbors in an
attempt to reconstruct her life.
The image they have formed
is that of an alluring woman
struggling to heal scars in
flicted by a brutal childhood,
an anguished woman always
fighting contradictions of her
own personality.
The evidence suggests that
she was incapable of enjoying
the occasional romances in
which she engaged and that
she arranged them primarily
in the hope that they might
help her toward the mental
health she sought.

Chiefs of Staff, leave Monday
to spend a week on a first-hand
study of the military effort
against the Communist Wet
Cong.
The announcement Of the
mission came as American mill
tary men in Wet Nam reported
the Communists were stepping
up their offensive, with more
than 700 Wet Namese casualties
in the last week alone-possibly
higher than the Communist
losses for the first time in their
long struggle.
Their report to the President
will have a major bearing on
the future Of the $1-million-a-

with Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge and with others in the
top level Of the United States
Government.
The President, in recent
weeks, has said several times
that the Ngo Dinh Diem gov
eminent has lost touch with
the people. But at the same
time. he also has said it would
not be wise to cut off United
States aid to South Wet Nam.
THE President and Ambas-
sador Lodge believe that, In the
present situation, 1t will be
helpful to have a review by
Secretary Mcnamara and Gen.
Taylor Of the military effort
against the Wet Cong" the
White House statement said.
Seeks Thorough Inquiry
Mr.. Mcnamara intends to
probe every level of United
States and Wet Namese activity
bearing on operations against
the Communist guerrillas, ac-
cording to a senior Pentagon
official.
The official said President
Kennedy has been receiving
conflicting reports, not only
about the effectiveness Of cur
rent military operations, but
also about the political and
social actions and policies of
President Ngo Dinh Diem's
regime.
Mr.. Mcnamara was selected
by the President for the Job,
the official said, because he is
accustomed to probing compli-
Gated situations and coming up
with recommendations that
can be transformed promptly

he betrayed his own revolution.
Nor is Cuba now viewed as an
overt military threat to the Sc

the continued presence of Soviet

"But when VOA gets to civil
rights, it sets out boldly to shape
our image. It's news sounds like
the hopeful forecast of Pierre
Salinger. The VOA said in July
that the civil rights bill was NOV

matter of fact, it was languishing
deep in committee. 1t gives lots of
time to administration stalwarts

a word to high-ranking oppon-

blame him entirely for taking adj
vantage of an agency set up with
