SISTER OF LOCAL WOMAN PASSES AWAY This does not reflect any Washington disbelief in the reality of the bullets puncturing the peace of Southeast Asia. President Johnson has used the word "war" and has pledged an unlimited. American commitment to the Reds from taking over Viet Nam. presenth However a formal war declaration a power given Congress under the Constitution would pose major complications for U. S.

strategy, which is tailored to a limited objective and to keeping the contest confined. Aim To Halt Aggression. Avowedly, the U. S. aim is to help the Saigon government repel an aggression from the north.

It is not to overthrow the Hanoi regime ruling North Viet Nam, or to get into war with Red China or the Soviet Union. Furthermore, the Communist attacks in South Viet Nam vary from organized military assaults to isolated terrorist crimes. If Congress were to declare war, a first question naturally would be: Against whom would war be declared? The Viet Cong? The United States does not recognize the claims of these Communist guerrillas to being a govern- ment, and much of what they do like murder and arson can be classed as acts subject to criminal prosecution. The government of North Viet Nam? The United States says it does not want to destroy this government, which would be a natural objective if war were declared against it. Red China or the Soviet Un.

ion? Washington wants to press its effort in Nam without getting into a fight with the big Communist powers, which a declaration of war against them would involve. In the big strategic a formal U.S, declaration picture. would, in the opinion of administration authorities, tend to broaden the conflict when it is in the best U.S. interest to prosecute it in a narrower arena. If war were pa declared against North Viet Nam, for instance, neighboring Communist China might decide to get into the fight.

So far it has steered clear of direct involvement while U. S. bombers pinpoint targets south of its border. For the United States an official declaration of war would set off a round of diplomatic consultations with its allies around the world, even though mutual aid pacts might not be People In The News BOSTON (AP)- bassador Joseph P. Kennedy, 76, was.

reported resting comfortably today at New England Baptist Hospital. He entered. the hospital Tuesday for what his doctors called general checkup. Kennedy suffered a stroke in December 1961 and has been partially -paralyzed since. LOS ANGELES (AP) Actor George Raft has been indicted on of income tax evasion, U.S.

Phone 2-1961 -(Sponsored By The Streator Labor Day Assn.) invoked, A declaration of war would have a tremendous psychological impact gearing the nation for an all-out effort for a Southeast Asian program which today ac- counts for only a small fraction of the federal budget. Would Affect Many Laws Government lawyers figure that literally hundreds of laws are on the books which would be affected by a declaration of war, including laws involving such items as shipping and other economic activities, and that further legislation would be passed in a war situation. As matters now stand the President has the power as commander in chief to send troops to Viet Nam, and Congress has passed additional legislation as needed, they say.

And they note that the United States fought a much larger action in the Korean war without a formal war declaration, for many of same reasons now applied in the Viet Nam contest. The State Department says: "The fact that military hostilities have been taking place in Southeast Asia does not bring about the existence of a state of war, which is a legal characterization of a situation rather than a description. "What we have in Viet Nam is armed aggression from the north against the Republic of Viet Nam, "Pursuant to South Viet Nam's request and consultations between our two governments, South Viet Nam and the United States are engaged in collective defense against that armed aggresion. The inherent right of collective self defense is Mrs. John Graves, Odell.
