U.S. Senator admits Viets would vote for Uncle Ho U.S. Senator Richard Russell declared last week that if a free election were held in Vietnam, most of the South Vietnamese people would vote for Ho Chi Minh, president of the socialist republic to the north, Russell, a Democrat from Georgia, as chairman of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee exerts considerable influence in the U.S, Congress, He stressed that the U.S, should get out of South Vietnam unless Washington could put together a stable Saigon government that could mobilize the people of South Vietnam to fight against the Na- tional Liberation Front (which of course, is impossible), Senator Russell also warned the American people that the cost of the Vietnam war would jump 10 times in the short period be- tween now and January 1, This would mean increased taxes, cuts in social services, and reduction in commodities and services the American people now get, despite promises by President Johnson and his ad- visers that the dirty war can be earried on without interfering with the American economy, Russell predicted that the cost of the Vietnam conflict “could easily reach $10 to $12 billions” a year, compared to the rate of $1 billion annually that it has cost the U.S, people up until now. He added that the :ost of the Vietnam war “is going to run into fantastic figures, It will be a highly expensive war.” Shortly after the senator made his dire predictions, they began to be confirmed. President John- son asked Congress to hand over a blank cheque in the amount of $1.7 billion dollars to Defence Secretary Robert. McNamara, The money would be tagged «Emergency Fund, Southeast Asia” and would be used wher and how the Pentagon war hawks saw fit. This latest sum, when added to the $700 million appropriated in This is how Soviet cartoonist M. Abramov sees U.S. perspectives in Vietnam. May, means the American tax- payer has been shelling out over $6.5 million a day for every day of 1965 — and the end isnowhere in sight, Johnson’s request contained few details and many reporters and observers in Washington feel this is only an interim request and that McNamara and his ever hungry war machine will soon be clamouring for more, A big day coming A big day is coming for the residents of the Lower Mainland, The day is Sunday, August 29, when a Gala Picnic & Swim Party will be held at 3440 Fromme Road in North Vancou- ver, Sponsored by the Vancouver Labour Festival Committee, the day will feature refreshments, entertainment, swimming, volley ball, and dancing under the stars, A salmon dinner with all the trimmings will be sold for the nominal price of $1.25 per adult and 50¢ for children, For those who may not want a full course dinner, hot dogs will be avail- able, Admission is only 50¢ per per- son.
