11 1 W- I r-- Behaving well in orbit 1 Communications satellite votin ilia WASHINGTON (UPI) -A Pacific partner to the Early Bird communications satellite behaved so well in orbit today that officials already were considering using it to broadcast live election results from Hawaii Nov 8 Scientists still had to rocket the 192-pound space-age switchboard from its looping orbit around the earth into a circular path 22300 miles over the Pacific where its speed would match the rotation of earth to keep it fixed over one position That maneuver if all went well would come Sunday and place the nicknamed for heavenly on station as the first space-age commercial telephone and television link between the US mainland Hawaii and Southeast Asia A Delta rocket propelled the satellite aloft from Cape Kennedy

Manila enn ference aa Viat Nam) By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst A turn is coming in the long and frustrating war in Viet Nam which could nearly double US forces there and at least for a time lead to a substantial increase in American casualties With no sign that the Communists are ready to negotiate the change will be a jart of a new US effort to end the war as ijuickly as possible It will reflect a gradual shift in tactics under way for several months and a new role for the armed forces of South Viet Nam It will not be announced This does not mean that the military phase of the three-way war in South Viet Nam is not doing well It is doing better than expected But the pacification phase is lagging and in coming months will get special attention US Forces Double After a fourth visit to South Viet Nam since the United States began stepping up its efforts there these are among the conclusions reached by this correspondent: forces now at around 325000 in South Viet Nam probably wiH go up to around 600000 barring the unexpected namely negotiations forces will take over the striking role as South Vietnamese troops begin play-ng a bigger role in pacification In the last year and a half US forces have taken over more and more as primary strike forces Vietnamese success in providing at least partial security to Vietnamese voters in the Sept 11 elections will give the idea added emphasis It is the old idea of the one-two punch and South Vietnamese forces have been killing their Viet Cong enemy at a rate of about 6-to-l over their own losses They believe that in coming months they can kill the VC and the North Vietnamese at a rate faster than the Communist can infiltrate Nonetheless pacification that is the returnees from Viet Cong control in the last year is figured only at the rate of about two per cent and is not a howling success gains the third base of the war are described American experts on the ground as It is a negative phrase which means that gains have been' made but the program continues to be plagued by Vietnamese corruption and by inefficiencies Greater attention also is to be paid to this phase in which the United States in the coming year will invest around $700 million Political Weaknesses Political weaknesses in South Viet Nam have been obvious since before the fall of the late President Ngo Dinh Diem under Buddhist- pressure in 1963 Except for family regional ties and religion the South Vietnamese have failed to develop any real loyalties Interstate highways to be opened NASHVILLE (UPI) Weather driving by on more than half
