one-fourth Of the country's
area, 43 per cent of its popula-
ton and most of its food grow
ing land.
The towns are held by the
government, but insurgents can
drop mortar or small artillery
shells on most of them and can
mount 800-man attacks, enough
to take one town temporarily
this month.
There are an estimated 9,40C
hardcore Wet Cong here now
up about 600 since January
Despite several hundred killed
and numbers of defectors. they
are supported by most of the
local population-people who
have never been under contro
of the central government.
Guerrillas cannot be sep
arated from food, as in other
areas. because every one of the
thousands Of waterways is full
of fish and rice grows al
around.
InfiItrate From Sea
Men and equipment infil-
trate from North Wet Nam
and Red China, apparently
from the sea. The government
is defending the area with two
under strength divisions plus
river boats, American hell
copters and assorted home
guard units.
While guerrillas are squeezed
out of the northern areas they
grow in numbers, equipment
and organization in the south.
In the north, operations are
termed clear and hold"
Troops swarm into a group
of villages, clean out the Reds
and seize control of the area.
Search, Destroy
In the delta region, opera
tions are termed search and
destroy" Troops chase the
guerrillas when they can find
them. They shoot up what is
visible and then retire to their
own isolated strongholds.

yesterday, a three-hour con-
ference. There was no indica-
ton of what was said but pre-
sumably the Buddhist con-
troversy was a major item of
discussion.
Mr.. Mcnamara was ac-
companied to the meeting by
Gen. Taylor, United States Am
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge
and Gen. Paul D. Harkins,
American military commander
in South Wet Nam.
Would Cut Aid
The Presidents controversial
brother and chief adviser, Ngo
Dinh Nhu, was not present at
the meeting. The anti-Buddhist
campaign is generally at
tributed to him and the United
States has been putting pres
sure on Mr.. Diem to remove
him from his extremely in
fluential spot.
Some United States officials
in Saigon and Washington rec
ommend that the United States
cut its non-military aid to Mr..
Diem's government sharply un-
less he Gusts Mr.. Nhu. Mr.
McNamara's recommendations
are expected to be the major
factor in Mr.. Kennedy's de-
cision whether to take such &C.
ton.
Mr.. Diem in an interview
published yesterday in tn E
Manila Sunday Times warned
that if all American aid to
Wet Nam was stopped, "the
whole world. including Amer
lea, would suffer the con-
sequences"
But don't get alarmed" he
added. II don't think things
will turn out to be as bad as
that"

DELTA
New Military Plan
Seen BringingVictory

In the north. the government
is on the offensive. In the
south, government troops react
to Wet Cong attacks.
A new plan approved by the
government and indorsed by
American advisers will shift the
government troops in the South
to the offensive. Patrols will
harrasS and ambush guerrillas,
Details still are secret, but
Americans in the delta area
say experience shows the plan
will work.
1t is simple and will permit
the Government to take ad-
vantage of the edge in mo-
bility and firepower it already
has.
Can Be Stepped Up
The offensive can be stepped
up as priority shifts to the
delta. Actually there has been
some progress in parts Of the
region since January.
American advisers agree some
northern delta provinces are
being pacified. Road travel is
becoming safer. Fortified ham
lets are being built, and in
many cases kept secure. Schools
and medical dispenSaries are
being built, village governments
established, taxes collected and
rice shipments increased.
In riding south by helicopter
you find less progress at mid
point.
You find Americans who say
the government is just holding
its own-it builds no faster
than the Wet Cong.
Debate Goes On
Keep hopping toward the tip
of the country and you find
officers who debate whether
the Wet Cong isn't winning at
the very tip. There is no gov
ernment, no contest, just Red
infested swamp.
How long until victory?
Years probably, Americans say.
What is victory? Govern

Question: I am over 65 and still working full-time. My earn ings run over five thousand a year. Should I apply for my So- cial Security benefits even though I am still working
 Answer: Yes, although you may not be able to collect pay ments at this time, it would help to have your benefits approved before you retire. One advantage is that there would be no delay in starting your benefits when you do retire. Also, in emergency, such as sickness, you could inform us that you are not working, and your monthly benefit would be- come payable right away.
