230,000 Yanks Now In Viet Nam WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. officials -report that American ground "forces in South Viet Nam increased by 15,000 men during. March to a new total of 230,000 about 75,000 below the Korean War peak. The new total is only 5,000 short of the figure currently authorized for deployment in Viet Nam by Secretary of Defense Kobert S. McNamara.

Including offshore units, the over-all U.S. forces in and about South Viet Nam totals more than 300,000.

It would be impossible, how ever, to- predict exact manpow er requirements for the future, the officials added. The Pentagon announced this week a 600 draft call for May, all for the Army. This was about 13,000 more than April's call. Other calls this year? January 38,280, 8,900 Marines; February 29,400, including 3,000 Marines, and March 22,400, including 5,000 Marines.
