Sooner or later, it is obvious,
the war will have to be considered
one in which the whole area is
involved. If Laos is taken over,
if Cambodia keeps following the
Communist signals, and if the
Reds successfully infiltrate Thai-
land, then it will make no differ-
ence how much effort is put into
South Vietnam, the cause will be
very close to lost. That is why
the war cannot be won in South
Vietnam alone, but will have to
be prosecuted in the whole of
Southeast Asia. It is said that
many Vietnamese think the war
will eventually be won, simply
because the U. S. cannot afford
to lose it. This is a show of con-
fidence that would be more wor-
thy if it were from official Wash-
ington.

Although having very little luck
in the victory column, Joe Tiller-
son of Celeste gained a maximum
of experience this week as he made
the Highway 80 tennis circuit.
He played in tournaments at
San Angelo, and Sweetwater.
Tillerson won several matches
in both singles and doubles com-
petition and gained the simi-fi-
nals in most events. The young
Celeste swatter only this week
signed a letter of intent to at-
tend Texas A&M University on
a tennis and scholastic scholar-
ship.
Results of Tillerson’s matches
on the tom- are as follows:
Odessa—Lost to Moses Ruiz of
Pyote, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4
Andrews, Won over Daryl Combs
6-2, 6-1. Lost to David Nelson
of University of Texas 6-2, 6-2.

It is perhaps not suggesting
too much to say that we should
have been winning in Vietnam
by starting with Cuba. It is a
bit too much for some of our I
allies to explain why we must
go to the other side of the world
to face the Communists, instead
of making it more difficult for
Castro in a much more accessi-
ble field of conflict. Perhaps it
all boils down to our sincerity of
purpose in facing the threat of
world Communism. South Viet-
nam’s front lines are right here
in crossroads America, where the
destiny of the world is being de-
cided.

In a wider sense that is parti-
cularly signfiicant, the war ac-
tually is 'being fought in Wash-
ington. The departure of Roger
Hilsman, Secretary of State for
Far Eastern Affairs, and other
personnel shifts, emphasize the
confusion that has existed in the
development of policies in Wash-
ington. No wonder the Commun-
ist world is patient, apparently
counting on our weariness in sup-
porting a war that promises no
. clear-cut victory. Optimism has
reached the vanishing point. The
war costs us a million dollars a
day. In the past 38 months we
have lost 206 killed and missing
, and 815 wounded. The South
The bitter struggle in South
Vietnam seems to be a miniature
world where, as in the real one,
Communism is not easily routed.
The war goes on as it has for
15 years mainly because, as the
consensus has it, there has not
been enough will to win. This
may suggest to us that the real
battle must be fought elsewhere:
in the bureaus of the State De-
partment, as well as in the press,
which must lead public dialog
on the necessity of meeting Com-
munism with anti-Communist
measures.
This South Vietnam action
consists of precisely the kind of
fighting that Mr. Khrushchev |
likes to engage in. The geurrilla, I
hit-and-run jungle tactics keep |
the kind of warfare going that |
is most awkward for the free |
world. Such attrition of men and |
resources is calculated to wear |
down the anti-Communist effort, |
so that the discouraged eventual- |
ly be calling for coalition govern-
ments or neutralism or even rec-
ognition of a Communist regime.
The Soviet leadership has been
most explicit about its intentions
in South Vietnam.

The Communists will partici-
pate in ‘brush fire” wars any-
where in the world, they have
said, as long as Communist stra-
tegy can profit therefrom. Mean-
while, our leaders urge caution
about “escalation” into major
conflict, a development in which
neither Russia nor China is pre-
pared to participate. It does not
seem likely that nations which
can barely feed themselves would
go all out for escalation. But the
Communists (and there’s no dis-
agreement between Peking and
Moscow on this) are determined j
to pick up as much as they can c^y-
of the de-colonialized remanants
of French Indo - China.
General de Gaulle, well aware
that France lost its try at the
war there in 1954, suggests neu-
tralizing the area. This would
only facilitate the political and
guerilla pressures that have ad-
vanced already the Communist
power and influence in North
Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
The French have not been the
only ones who- have dealt futile-
ly in this part of the world, mis-
understanding the nature of the
conflict. Their officers refused
to accept the fact of a guerrilla,
jungle war. But we ourselves
spent three years preparing the
Vietnamese for an invasion from
the north that never came. We
overlooked the Communist know-
ledge of the efficacy of infiltra-
tion and political subversion.
