The Viet Cong appears to be feeling the pinch badly. About 400 families, nearly 20 per cent of the Communist 1 group, already have given up the struggle and left the swamp, officials say. Most of the people who have left the swamp are old. The Viet Cong fighters apparently are still holding out. Government forces, spread thin over a long line, cannot penetrate than a few miles into the swamp without leaving their own posts dangerously uncovered at night.

The Viet Cong is fighting back ambushing patrols, shelling landing craft and maintaining, sniper fire. But if the government's ambitious plan a stubborn Communist pocket' will be returned to the control of President Ngo Dinh Diem's Saigon administration. To that end, the strategic hamlet program which has proved lettective farther north is being to the Nam Can region, 185 miles southwest of Saigon. Two of these hamlets, stockaded communities offering loyal people protection against the Viet Cong, have been set up on the banks of a stream that flows through Nam Can. Labor is provided by a gang of about 250 political prisoners, many of them captured Viet Cong Guerrillas.

Keating replied that "the situation in Cuba is extremely and i is becoming more so every day." Although Humphrey implied he believes President Kennedy favors public hearings on the controversy, the White House kept hands off. Senate Republican Leader Everett M.

Dirksen of Illinois supported Humphrey's call for public testimony. Dirksen told a press conference that in an lion he personally is conducting, of the ill-starred 1961 Cuban inwasion, he has come across information similar to that given by Rep. Donald C. Bruce, R-Ind. Bruce said friendly diplomats Dave indicated the Russians removed only about half of the 82 to 88 intermediate range missiles they had in Cuba.

Dirk-sen said his figures varied somewhat but were substantially the same. "One Too Many" Rep. Paul Rogers, noting contradictory statements on the amount and types of Soviet military equipment in Cuba, said that "one Soviet soldier in Cuba is one too many." He asked, in a House speech, when the mission of Soviet troops in Cuba becomes offensive or detense, and answered: "When the Kremlin orders it so." "The problem." he said, "centers on existence of communism in Cuba, backed up by Soviet military equipment, whatever it may The first step in solving this is for other Western Hemisphere nations to isolate Cuba, he said.

In his message, Kennedy predicted that within 10 to 20 years the new program centering on the community centers could reduce by at least half the number of mentally ill in custodial care. "Many more mentally ill can be helped to remain in their own homes without hardship to themselves or their families," he a added. who are hospitalized can be helped to return to their own communities.
