Wheeler returns from Vietnam, Pentagon officials said yesterday. Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is due back some time in the coming week with his estimate as to whether U.S. forces should be increased over the pres- ently planned 525,000. Gen. William C. Westmoreland, U.S. commander in Vietnam, has not yet submitted any force in- crease request to Washington, sources said, but Wheeler is ex- pected to bring back Westmore- land's recommendations. Most authorities anticipate that Westmoreland will want more troops.
