But he promised no action will be taken that would affect the balance of power between the Western Alliance and the East.

marines in South Vietnam is not just a military tactic to protect the vital American air base at Da Nang. It represents a serious diplomatic warning to Hanoi and Peking about the future course of the war in that part of the world.

Warning to Reds Washington's latest move represents further U.S. involvement in the spreading anti-Communist wf.r.

The Defense Department described the landing of American marines as a "limited action." Nevertheless, the use of a large force of marines in South Vietnam is seen as a strong expression of this country's continuing determination to hold the western position against a rising tide of Communist military and political pressure. Relief Duty The Pentagon's announcement said the marines will "relieve government of South Vietnam forces now engaged in security duties" at Da Nang, an area where the Communist Viet Cong have become increasingly active in recent weeks.
