Billings Gazette Sunday, Morning February Edition 11, 1968 12 Who's Winning What? By Tom Wicker (C) 1968 New York Times WASHINGTON Last November, Ambassador Bunker and General We stmoreland came home from Saigon to convincer the people the war in Vietnam was being won. It now can be seen what they had to say represented poor judgment, gross WICKER overstatement or worse. Bunker, for instance, placed his considerable reputation for integrity and professionalism behind the assertion that the of South Vietnam governments per cent of the population of that unhappy country. When challenged on the figure, he repeated it, said it represented a 13 per cent gain in the last year, and termed this "steady but not spectacular" progress. Hedrick Smith of the New York Times showed the 68 per cent figure depended entirely upon the third of six categories into which South Vietnamese hamlets are classified, according to the degree of government control of each.

30th. Reward offered. -Adv. Mrs. Edward Hegel category of hamlets was not really secure, and many officials and reporters in South Vietnam believe it was not, then Bunker's over-all figure for government control of the population dropped from 68 to 44 per cent.

EVEN STRONGER repudiation of Bunker's claim now has come, ironically, from Secretary of Defense McNamara. In his so-called "Posture Report" on the Defense Department McNamara said the "Hamlet Evaluation System," which sets up the six categories, "indicates about 67 per cent of the people of South Vietnam live under allied military protection and some of continuing (government of Vietnam) administration." "Allied military protection" obviously is quite a different thing from real control of the population by Saigon. The latter term, used by Bunker, has no significant meaning unless it implies that 68 per. cent of the people are loyal to the Saigon government, look to it for protection and justice, devote to it their energies and allegiance; none of these things need be true under "allied military protection." But these exposures of the "'68 per cent" of the population supposedly "controlled" by the "government" in Saigon are not really necessary. Striking with startling force and persistence in every major city of South Vietnam last week, the Viet Cong delivered a blow which showed that in no part of the country are the people secure from their attacks, or will with certainty alert the South Vietnamese Army to the Viet Cong's presence and preparations.

That being so, it cannot be said any part of South Vietnam is truly under Saigon's "control." And this will be all the more so if the effect of last week's attacks is to make the people even less confident of "allied military protection." WHY, THEN, were the American people given Bunker's rosy estimate and Westmoreland's November prediction "the end begins to come into view?" In the lurid light of last week's Viet Cong attacks, in the ominous echoes of the great Communist buildup at Khe Sanh, are Americans to believe they were deliberately misled or were rather the victims of faulty official judgment? Sen. Robert Kennedy, offered one answer in his attack on the war policy in Chicago this week. It was, he said, "a policy founded on what had been shattered by the Viet Cong offensive was "the mask of official illusion" exemplified by the Bunker-Westmoreland statements. "We have misconceived the nature of the war," Kennedy said. "We have sought to resolve by military might a conflict whose issue depends upon the will and conviction of the South Vietnamese That will and conviction were missing, he said, because the South Vietnamese people found nothing to fight for in a corrupt military government, many of whose officials are interested only in lining their own pockets, and which could provide neither security nor justice for its own population.

THE ADMINISTRATION has pointed to the same necessity of providing the Vietnamese what Kennedy called "a stake in their own society." Yet, it has persisted in Americanizing the war, trying to win a conflict which, manifestly, Saigon has neither the will nor the ability to win for itself, even with American support. "This week, American troops had to help quell insurrection in the capital city itself. One reason may be that while the administration has publicly insisted it is fighting only for the freedom and self-determination of the South Vietnamese people, at their request, it has privately had in mind an 1 American political goal of maintaining a line in Asia against both Communism and Chinese nationalism. Thus, no matter what the failures of will and effort of South Vietnamese people, the administration persists in war because at bottom the President and his advisers believe it is an American war for American interests, and, as McNamara once put it, "We will be far better off facing the issue in Vietnam" than nearer our own territory. Even if those judgments are correct--and they are, instead, judgments about which there is considerable question--the a d- ministration has not been will(ing to fight the war on such a basis of self-interest.

It has pretended to be doing one thing while doing another, from that kind of deception the din" national interest" it is an easy leap to the shabby employment of generals and ambassadors in the propagandizing of the American people.
