WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
90th Congress wound up the
first week of its election-year
session on a familiar note—
debate on the Vietnam war.
Sen. George Aiken, R-Vt.,
touched off the first major
Vietnam debate of the new
session Friday, charging the
Johnson administration with
resorting to “fantasy” Inorder
to cover past mistakes.
He said it now is demanding
“unconditional surrender” by
North Vietnam.
Two other critics of President
Johnson’s policy, Sens. J.
William Fulbright, D-Ark., and
John Sherman Cooper, R-Ky.,
joined Aiken in deploring the
war.

day night, escaping with $100
to $150 in cash, according to
city poUce.
The burglars took the cash,
kept in a locked desk drawer,
for business transactions inthe
bus depot.
Gene Yeager, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce, dis-
covered the break-in alter re-
porting to work Saturday morn-
ing and called police about 8
o’clock.
PoUce said entry was gain-
ed by prying open the east door
of the building. The burglars
had evidently scouted the office
in advance since they knew
where the money was kept.
They broke the lock off the desk
drawer containing the money
and took a large quantity of
change in coins and Mils—a-
mounting to about $100 to $150
Nothing else in the office waa
disturbed according to police.
Yeager gave police a descrip-

though they were looking things
over.
With this lead, police are con-
tinuing their investigation.

SAN ANTONIO (UPD—Rich-
ard M. Nixon said Friday night
the survival of peace and free-
dom in the world depended on
the leadership selected for the
United States this year.
Nixon, in Texas for a brief
tour of three cities, flew to
DaUas after the speech. He was
also scheduled to appear in
Houston today before flying
back to New \ork.
Nixon spoke before more than
3,000 persons at a GOP fund
raising affair at Trinity I niver-
sMy*
He spoke Utile of fimd rais-
ing, but he accused the John-
son administration^ of weaken
ir« the balance of power in the
world, of stagnation in Viet-
nam aid of apathy in keeping
Europe united.
Nixon narrowly lost Texas to
John F. Kennedy in the I960
presidential election.
He called tor a V ietnam set-
dement “which will not reward
aggression now just to have It
crop ig> later somewhere
else.”
Much of Nixon’s speech waa
in answer to foe President's
State of foe Union address and
foe former vice president com-
mented on Europe, Latin Amer-
ica. Africa, foa Middle-East,
He said during foe
eleettag he would erttieite“K*
Nft» personality of Mr. Johnson,
but his policies,
“ When the greatest miHtary
power In the world is tied down
for four years, fighting a fourth
rate force, when the greatest
economy in the world cannot
manage its own economy, when
the world’s greatest law en-
forcement agencies cannot en-
force their laws and When the
President of the United States
cannot travel either abnfod or
in Ms own country without fear
of harm, then we need some
new leadersMp in WasMngton,”
Nixon said.
Nixon was last in San AntoMo
in November 1960, five days be*
fore the election.
He arrived Friday by private
jet in a heavy drizzle 30 min-
utes ahead of schedule and waa
met without fanfare by two
Texas Republican officials.
The press was not aware of
the early arrival and did not
meet the airplane. The pr*
was also barred dram a recap*
tton room at foe St. Aidhoigr
Hotel where Nixon met with the
county finance committee.
However, one reporter who
talked briefly with Nixon quote
ad Mm as saying:
