22 DEC. 22, 1964, Anttrfean TO SERVICEMEN Pentagon Explains Viet Nam Mission WASHINGTON (AP) The Army Is telling its 970,000 men around the world that "in terms of the issues at stake, the war in Viet Nam is as critically important as any in history." This statement is contained in a publication entitled "Our Mission in Viet Nam." Army officials said the 12-page publication Is being distributed to Army men everywhere. The Army is carrying a large part of the load in South Viet Nam. About 65 per cent of the' 21,600 American military men there are wearing Army uniforms. Most of the U.S.

casualties have been sustained by Army of the 237 combat dead and more than 1,270 of the wounded. "Experience has shown that there is simply no other way to teach the techniques of effective combat to any army at war," the publication said in seeking to explain why American soldiers accompany Vietnamese formations in fighting opera- tions. The pamphlet, illustrated with a map and action photographs, traces the origin of the present crisis in South Viet Nam: Communists setting out to gobble up the country and the United States coming into the picture when South Viet Nam asked for help. In answering the question: "Why are we in Viet Nam?" the troop information publication attempts to project the significance of the Vietnamese struggle beyond its present dimensions. "South Viet Nam has clearly becoiY.c a major testing ground for a comparatively new Communist strategy," 'the publication says.

This strategy was described as cloaking subversion in the guise of "wars of liberation," which is the way that th eCom- munists portray the war in South Viet Nam. "If the Communist strategy of subversion and guerrilla insurgency were allowed to succeed i in Viet Nam," the Army said, i "communism would be encouraged to exert similar efforts in other countries of Southeast Asia and eventually in other parts of the world. 1 By its "unflinching support" of South Viet Nam, the Army tells its troops, the United States is demonstrating "that we do not intend to stand aside and let freedom die in Southeast Asia or anywhere else." In Wreckage 01 JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) The wreckage of a freighter has been discovered in the storm- swept Aleutian Islands, but searchers have been unable to find any of its 32 crewmen and four lifeboats. The 521-foot Liberian vessel San Patrick, bound for Japan with a load of gram, went aground Thursday on a reef off Ulak Island 120 miles west of Adak. The converted tanker, manned mostly by a crew from Spain, left Vancouver, B.C., Dec.

9 for Yokohama. Three SOS distress calls were sent from her Thursday night, saying he was aground in a storm with waves 20 to 30 feet high, blown by wind of more than 40 knots. The Tetshuho Maru, a Japanese ore carrier, raced to the scene, and the Navy tug Tawakoni from Adak joined the search, but they found nothing. An oil slick and pieces of lumber which might have come from a ship were found two days later. Sunday the pilot of a Navy search plane reported seeing the "badly battered" wreckage.

A search for survivors centered in islands northwest of Ulak. Lifeboats would have drifted in that direction if they were launched. Nothing about the plight of the ship was made public by the Navy and Coast Guard until the Alaska agent for Lloyd's of London tipped the Anchorage Times Monday. In Washington, D.C.. a spokesman for the Coast Guard said the position of the vessel given in its original distress message varied from a position given by the ship's agent in New York.

He said that raised a question of whether there really was a ship in distress in the Aleutians. He said bad weather delayed an air search. Baton Rouge Mother to See Lost Father BATON ROUGE (AP) A Baton Rouge mother of three will travel to New York next week to meet the father she has never seen.

"I've always wanted my Daddy." "He told me, 'Don't worry, we've found each other We'll never lose each other Mrs. McAtee said. "He said he had thought about me on every holiday, and had wondered how I was and hoped I was well taken care," she said.
