WASHINGON (NEA>
The strong public reaction to Lt William Calley’s life
prison sentence and the difficulties in Laos have strongly
influenced President Nixon’s policy on Vietnam
These incidents have convinced Nixon, more than ever
that (a) Hanoi must not be allowed to take over the
south, and tb) the U S must not make headlong with-
drawals which might make a Hanoi take-over possible
This thinking is reflected in the President’s latest an-
nouncement on American troop withdrawals
a The withdrawal rate an average of 14,300 a month
—is less than had been expected
• The original planning had been for withdrawals to
be scheduled for a year in advance More cautiously, the
April 7 announcement covers only a seven-month period
up to Dec 1 This is to give Nixon a chance to reassess
the situation late this fall when Hanoi’s plans for the
next dry season will be clearer, and when it will be pos-
sible to determine how well the South Vietnamese army
has come through the Laos trial
• Contrary to predictions, Nixon gave no clear picture
as to when this country will be able to "see the light at the
end of the (Vietnam) tunnel
" Despite the hue and cry for a quick U.S withdrawal from
Southeast Asia, Nixon for some time has believed that a
North Vietnamese victory in South Vietnam would result
in the most serious political repercussions in the United
States There would be charges of sell-out There would
be deep feelings of bitterness and self reproach Many of
those who now urge retreat would join in this turbulence
Nixon worries over what would survive and what be lost
in the resulting witch hunts he is certain would follow
The uproar over the Calley sentence reinforced Nixon
in these convictions For in this strong reaction Nixon
reads more than an argument over Calley It is a reaction
by many to our not going all-out to fight the war, a de-
fense not of one soldier but Americans defending all
soldiers whom they feel have not been allowed to fight to
win it is Americans defending GIs against their detrac-
tors It is frustration over what many see as a possible
defeat resulting from a lack of American will
The key sentence in Nixon’s troop withdrawal announce-
ment read in part (if) . I should move to end this
war without regard to what happens to South Vietnam
we would plunge from the anguish of war into a nightmare
of recrimination We would lose respect for this nation,
respect for one another, respect for ourselves

be home by Christmas, says Sen Vance Hartke, if Presi-
dent Nixon were to announce total withdrawal by the end
of this year
“The killing can end in a matter of days,” says the
Indiana Democrat
Which killing ’
Certainly, the killing of Americans by North Vietnamese
and of North Vietnamese by Americans could be ended
at any time But the killing of Vietnamese by Vietnamese
was going on long before the first American soldier set
foot in that country and will, unfortunately, be going on
long after the last American soldier leaves
The President has announced a slight stepup in the pace
of withdrawal which if projected into 1972 will leave about
50,000 troops still in Vietnam at midyear To all intents
and purposes. American involvement in ground combat
operations will likely have ceased well before that time
This residual force, the President has indicated, will re-
main until Hanoi releases its American prisoners
But neither the President nor even the advocates of
absolute, complete U S disengagement from the war
have said anything about when our advisory and support
personnel and air power—especially air power—can be
withdrawn By mid-1972. Americans could still be in-
volved in logistical and aerial support of South Viet-
namese operations
That is not all Even when every single American,
whether combat soldier, pilot. adviser or prisoner, is back
home. this country’s involvement in the struggle will not
have ended It will only have entered a new stage—or
rather, have returned to much the same situation that
existed in 1961
South Vietnam will still require moral and material as-
sistance-money. equipment, munitions The war will still
be going on, and will go on as long as North Vietnam be-
lieves it can take over South Vietnam by force
There may be an end in sight to the killing as far as
American combat soldiers are concerned, but there is no
foreseeable end to the controversy over Vietnam
Science Not Keeping Pace?
We are all suffering from "future shock," or so a cur-
rently popular thesis holds Technology is advancing so
much more rapidly than our ability to adapt to the
changes it brings that society is in a state of neurosis
It may be just the opposite, says one man—at least in
one field the field of environmental pollution
Public opposition to pollution has progressed consider
ably faster in recent years than technology, says Lee
Loevinger, assistant attorney general in the Kennedy
administration
Take atomic energy Not only have technology and
industry failed to produce a controlled fusion reactor to
date, he notes, but of about 100 applications to the Atomic
Energy Commission for authority to construct com-
mercial nuclear power plants, only one has been for a
"clean" breeder reactor, the kind we are going to need
And the one breeder reactor built has been plagued by
accidents and has operated poorly
"Perhaps the malaise that we sense in much contempo-
rary life arises not from the difficulty public attitudes
have in keeping pace with the advances of science and
technology. Loevinger suggests, "but from the inability
of science and technology to fulfill the demands of
advancing public attitudes
"In some fields our problems may not be future shock
but technological lag ‘
