In his speech, the Republic said, Welch charged that the U.S. was abetting the Communist cause. Later, a questioner asked him whether he was charging that President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon were Communists, the newspaper said.

It quoted Welch as saying, in reply, that Nixon was "a complete opportunist" and Eisenhower was "nothing more than a shell through which the left-wing pours things."

A large Vietnamese army task force has reopened key route 19 in the central mountains with the help of U.S. B52 bombers from Guam, a U.S. spokesman announced. A convoy carrying 311 tons of cargo reached Pleiku after traveling over route 19 from Qui Nhon, on the South China Sea coast 120 miles away. Most of the route has been cut off and controlled by the Viet Cong since early June and Pleiku had been dependent on airlifts for vital shipments of ammunition, equipment and food.

Twenty miles east of Saigon, the Viet Cong has blown up seven bridges and blocked route 15 connecting the capital with the coastal city of Vung Tao, a spokesman reported. Vung Tau is the site of a large American air installation and one of the headquarters of the U.S. 173rd Airborne Brigade. In the Route 19 operation, the Vietnamese army was reported to have rebuilt two of the bridges destroyed by the Viet Cong and had the third in condition where it apparently could handle some traffic. here.

"He then authorized the CIA to continue on the assumption that the invasion would occur," Schlesinger wrote, "but he added, carefully and categorically, that the expedition must be laid on in a way which would make it possible for him to call it off as late as 24 hours before D-day." Schlesinger said that on March 28, 1961, he asked Kennedy what he thought of the invasion.
