U.S.. Seeks Path to Reforms
In Wet Nam Policy Review

Kennedy meant when he said
last Monday that without poll
cy changes the war in Wet
Nam could not be won but also
said 1t would be a tragic mis-
take to cut off military as
SiStance.
Some officials see a wide
range Of tactics available to the
administration in developing
forcible means Of achieving its
policy detectives. Presumably
these include funds paid to the
Diem government in support OF
operations on which Mr.. Diem
and Mr.. Nhu are to some de-
gree dependent for their own
exercise of power.

ton between United States Of
ficialS and Mr.. Nhu even before

Financial Thumbscrews
With such machinery availa-
BILE it should not be too difficult
to turn the financial screws or
the Diem government If that
can be accomplished without
bringing on a new polite a

Mr.. Nhu survived the politi-
cal crisis which arose over hi
governments breakdown or
Buddhist opponents. He sur
vived in spite Of widespread re-
ports that the United States
want him out Of the govern

back a military revolt If nee

oped.
The United States has $4,000
officers and men and is spend
ing at the rate of half q billion
dollars a year in South Wet

This is an enormous invest

South Wet Nam is considered
strategically important because
in a sense it is the stopper In

Vance Cancels
Wet Nam Visit
By the Associated Press

Secretary Of the Army Vance
yesterday cancelled plans to vi
sit South Wet Nam on a Far
E stern tour beginning
Wednesday, and it was learned
that several other Defense De-
partment officials are putting
aside plans for trips there.
The moves follow a State De-
partment announcement last
Wednesday restricting official
travel to Wet Nam because of
the current unsettled condi-
tons" there.
The Army announced Secre-
tary Vance will leave Wednes-
day for his first official visit
to the Far East" but h a S
stricken Wet Nam from the list
of places he will visit.
AS it now stands, Secretary
Vance will see troop units and
confer with officials in Hawaii,
FormoSa, Okinawa and South
Korea-and then head back to
Washington on September 81.
He will be accompanied by Mrs.
Vance.
In answer to a question, an
Army spokesman confirmed
that Mr.. Vance had dropped
Wet Nam from his initial sche-
dule in compliance with the
State Departments request
that United States civilian Off
cials and their dependents stay
out of the country unless there
is an urgent need for their vi
sit.
Each case is to be judged on
an individual basis.
In Wet Nam, the government
of President Ngo Dinh Diem
and his brother and sister-in-
law has cracked down massive
ly on Buddhists, chilling rela-
tons between Washington and
Saigon.
The State Department policy
does not apply to visits by uni
formed military officials Of the
United States armed forces.

The spread Of difficulties ir

the break between Lisbon and
Washington over Portuguese
colonial policies in Africa.
So far as officials can deter
mine Mr.. Ball is coming home
e ty-handed from Portugal
too, although there is hope that
the Portuguese will not force

White House and State De.

their troubles say privately
that there is a significant diff

allies in Asia and those in Eu-
rope. In Asia the government
Of a country like South Wet

Governor Paiewonsky Signs Election Law But

Bill which I am today making into Law, by signing it
with my approval. should be amended by a provision
which would remove the party column portion of the
ballot to a lower place in the organization of the ballot.
This will also permit a reasonble opportunity for party
voters to vote a straight ticket and also avoid any chance
that the holder of the lucky lot has somehow been
deprived of a vested and paramount right to have his
name at the very top of the ballot.
