(Continued from Page 2) Saturday, Oct. 23, 1971 Cam Ranh Bay and Bien Hoa. Me- Namara recommended that the number of battalions be increased to 34. The Koreans had promised to send nine battalions; if they failed to do so, we should make up the difference a total in that case of 43 battalions. That would raise the level of our forces to 175,000 men, or 2110,000 if the Koreans failed to come through as promised.

He suggested that we ask Congress for the authority to call up 235,000 men in the reserves and the National Guard. He also proposed increasing the size of the regular armed forces by 375,000 men through increased recruitment and draft calls and extensions of tours of duty. The total increase in the military forces would then be 600,000 men by the middle of 1966. We would also have to ask Congress for an additional supplemental appropriation. I wanted to go over this proposal with the greatest care.

I realized what a major undertaking it would be. The call-up of large numbers of reserves was part of the package. This would require a great deal of money and a huge sacrifice for the American people. I summoned my top advisers to the White House on July 21, the day after Me- Namara returned. We went into the proposal line by line, argument by argument.

We considered many alternatives. St. Joseph Hospital DISMISSALS Asley, Mrs. Mary Frankfort. Bersbach, William 201 E.

457-5531 GET WITH CBIGG GET WITH GREGG WITH GREGG Before making the decision final and moving ahead, I wanted the opinions and the advice of the leaders in Congress. The most important question I had to face was: How will the decisions we make in Vietnam or elsewhere affect the security and the future of our nation? A President searches his mind and his heart for the answers, so that when he decides on a course of action it is in the long-range best interests of the country, its people, and its security. I tried to think through what would happen to our nation and to the world if we did not act with courage and stamina -if we let South Vietnam fall to Hanoi. This is what I could foresee: First, from all the evidence available to me it seemed likely that all of Southeast Asia would pass under Communist control, slowly or quickly, but inevitably, at least down to Singapore but almost certainly to Djakarta. Second, I knew our people well enough to realize that if we walked away from Vietnam and let Southeast Asia fall, there would follow a divisive and destructive debate in our country.

We had a solemn treaty commitment to Southeast Asia. Third, our allies not just in Asia but throughout the world would conclude that our word was worth little or nothing. Those who had counted so long for their security on American commitments would be deeply shaken and vulnerable. Fourth, knowing what I did of the policies and actions of Moscow and Peking, I was as sure as a man could be that if we did not live up to our commitment in Southeast Asia and elsewhere, they would move to exploit the disarray in the United States and in the alliances of the Free World. Finally, as we faced the implications of what we had done as a nation, I was sure the United States would not then passively submit to the consequences.

Above all else, I did not want to lead this nation and the world into nuclear war or even the risk of such a war. This was the private estimate that brought me to the hard decision of July 1965. None of the very few who opposed the decision gave me facts or arguments that broke or even weakened this chain of conclusions. These were the thoughts, and the profound concerns, that were in my mind when I went meet the White House press corps on July 28, 1965, and opened the press conference by saying: I have asked the commanding general, General Westmoreland, what more he needs to meet this mounting aggression. He has told me.

We will meet his needs. I have today ordered to Vietnam the Air Mobile Division and certain other forces which will raise our fighting strength from 75,000 to 125,000 men almost immediately. Additional forces will be needed later, and they will be sent as requested. Now we were committed to major combat in Vietnam. We had determined not to let that country fall under Communist rule as long as we could prevent it and as long as the Vietnamese continued to fight for themselves.

At the same time, I was resolved to do everything possible to keep this a limited war, to prevent it from expanding into a nuclear conflict. NEXT: The Struggle for Justice.

Real Estate Duckworth Retires After 50 Years in Auto Sales $735,0330001 KOKOMO (Ind.) TRIBUNE 9 United Fund Campaign $167,000 Short Of John M. Duckworth, 1128 S. Webster one of Kokomo's longtime and widely known automobile salesmen, retired this week after almost 50 years in the auto sales business. His retirement came when he was within six months of completing a half century as a salesman of motor cars. For the past 20 years he has been on the sales staff of the Charles Conkle Motor Co.

Duckworth was born at Franklin and started in the business in that city in 1921 as a salesman for the Dick Flannigan Buick agency. In 1926 he joined the Clark Schwartz Buick Company at Columbus as sales manager. He came to Kokomo with the H. E. McGonigal Co.

in 1930. Five years later he joined the Buick Motor Co. staff in Chicago and traveled out of that city for five years. He then spent eight years with the Shell American Petroleum Co. in Kokomo as a special representative.

In 1952 he joined the sales staff of the Conkle firm and continued with that company until his retirement. He grew up in Franklin and graduated from high school there. He and Mrs. Duckworth observed their 60th wedding anniversary last July. The 1971 United Fund Campaign here reached the 77.3 per cent mark with a total of $568,038 in pledges reported by Friday afternoon.

The amount is $167,000 short of the goal of $735,033. As a result an unscheduled report meeting has been set for next Friday at 12 noon in the YMCA. One section had gone over the top Friday. Section Small Business 11, reported $9,344, 106.1 per cent of its goal. Howard Wright is chairman of the section.

Other noteworthy reports were given by Francis Sallee, chairman of Small Business 11, 86.9 per cent, and Sandy Markert, Section Small Business 1, 90 per cent. J. M.
