Some say American leaders have been giving a false picture. But a number say that news re- ports on the latest developments in Vietnam are starting to awak- en the public to what the com- mentators view as a lack of suc- cess for U.S policy.

State St. Order Subscription Your Today 764-0558 Gerald Priestland of the British Broadcasting Corp. commented from Washington: "The great inland of America is not, I sus- pect, as well educated on foreign affairs as Britain is. . . For most people the present crisis in Viet- nam is just too complicated to make sense. "Apparently America has not been winning even after three years of effort and 16,000 dead, and apparently all those promises about the beginning of the end were not true," Priestland said. The New York correspondent of the Tokyo newspaper Asahi wrote that the majority of Americans think of the Vietnam war in terms of "very simplified formulas." He added: "In the United States any theory becomes conducive to escalation of the war if it can convince people of the wrongs of "communists" and then "terrorist acts" by the enemy. "It is true that the scenes ofI fierce fighting in Vietnam which appear daily in the newspapers and on television are smashing the optimistic image that America is winning. But it seems likely that the public would demand more military supply to Vietnam than a switch from the policy of power." The Times of London comment- ed: "The appearance of Russian tanks in battle may well crystal- lize public opinion in the United States on the competence as well as the veracity of their military1 leadership ... How did the tanks get there, if what the Air Force claimed for the bombing of Northa Vietnam and Laos was true? ... . The tanks have visibly destroyed the reputation of the administra- tion for knowing what was on thel other side of the hill... . "The photographs in the press and on television of South Viet- nam's protectors bombing its own cities and killing its own 'people have prepared the American pub- lic to face at last the arguments of the correspondents in Saigon that the war can not be won by military means, and that the po- litical war has never been fought at all. WASHINGTON UP) - The Army appealed to Congress yesterday for an increase of nearly 1,400 per cent in funds for deployment of an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system. Department officials urged ap- proval of a requested appropria- tion of $312.9 million for the sys- tem, which has been named Sen- tinel. This year there is $22.6 million available. They said it "will be very ef- fective against the light, unso- phisticated attacks that the Chi- nese Communists are capable of launching against the United States during the mid 1970s." The comments were in state- ments to a closed session of the Senate Armed Services Commit- tee, which favors an ABM system. The Army testimony that was made public referred only to a possible R e d Chinese missile' threat and did not mention the Soviet Union. The Sentinel -system employs long range detecting radar, track- ing and guidance radar and Spar- tan and Sprint interceptor mis- siles. Col. Thomas N. Chavis, deputy director of missiles and space in the Army research and develop- ment program, told the committee modifications in the Sentinel sys- tem may be needed "if the Chinese threat increases in size and sophis- tication." He said a more attractive alter- native to increasing the number of Sentinel stations would be im- proving the system "to counter the improvements in the Chinese IC- BM intercontinental ballistic mis- sile." Chavis noted an additional $165 million was being sought to look into possible improvements. The ABM funds sought are part of a $1.6 billion request for Army research, development, test and evaluation. Tuesday's hearing dealt with the proposed authorization for that amount. It, in turn is part of the overall $76 billion budget the De- fense Department has asked for the fiscal year beginning July 1. "Indeed, as it becomes painfully clear that Vietnam is not Korea in the '50s. the idea is germinat- ing that the war is one which the United States, invincible or not, can lose." Another London paper, the Sun, complained: "What meaning is left in language when the Ameri- cans claim to save a town by de- stroying it?"

Life, Man and Time is the book to read! Written by Frank L. Marsh, Ph.D., professor of biology and chief consultant, Geophysics Research Institute, Andrews University, this book is considered the most concise and authoritative statement of the position of the creationist scientist today, treating with thoroughness and scientific fidelity such subjects as the relation of age dating tests to the creationist thesis. DID YOU KNOW--en years ago Dr. Marsh and a handful of associates were virtually alone in the upper echelons of the science profession in their espousal of the creationist thesis, and today literally thousands of scientists, researchers, and educators have openly taken their stand in favor of the Biblical creationist interpretation of observed natural phenomena? This striking change in only one decade has. come abouft largely as a result of the writings of Dr. Marsh, particularly this book, LIFE, MAN, AND TIME. For years the evolution theory has been treated as established fact, and disbelief in evolution has been taken to be synonymous with ignorance and religious superstition. But is it possible that today something significant is brewing in the field of natural origins? Read for yourself and judge- Life, Man, and Time by FRANK L. MARSH, Ph.D. -available in hardbound edition with full- color illustrations throughout. I think you can measure. a company 's nterest in its people bits willinness to invest in them'. "I joined IBM in June, '65, in operations research. "I liked the work well enough, but after a year and a half, I began to think that the ideal field for me was computer programming. (This is Alvin Palmer, an Associate Programmer at IBM.) "But by this time, I was making a pretty good salary. So I was faced with a big question. Would IBM be willing to let me move into a new field which would mean going to school and not being productive for a while? "The answer was 'yes.' I went to programming school full time for three months. And IBM continued to pay my full salary. "I get a tremendous-kick out of programming. You're telling a computer how to do its job, and it really gets you involved. Maybe because you're continually solving problems." You don't need a technical degree "Your major doesn't matter. There are plenty of programmers at IBM with degrees in liberal arts or business.r What counts is having a logical mind. "I'm making good progress in this field, so I'm glad I was able to make the change. I think it indicates how far IBM will go to help you make the most of your abilities."
