Question Effectiveness

Of 'McNamara's

DA NANG, Vietnam (P) - A
barrier of barbed wire and elec-
tronic eyes and ears along the
northern rim of South Vietnam-
how effective would it be against
North Vietnamese infiltrating
forces?
The planned construction of
such a barrier was annotmced
Thursday by Secretary of Defense
Robert S. McNamara.
The evidence here is that Uni-
ted States Marines dug in and pa-
troling south of the demilitarized
zone which divides the two Viet-
nams already, are already keeping
out any major Communist force.
The chief infiltration route is
not through the demilitarized
zone, but over the old, Ho Chi
Minh Trail. This runs around
South Vietnam's northwestern
corner and southward through
neighboring Laos and Cambodia.
Ii has branches that cut into
South Vietnam at points along
the way.
To be effective, such a wall
would have to run not only along
the rugged mountain terrain of
the northern rim, but also more
than 100 miles south along the
border of Laos.
Military men here are main-
taining public silence on 'McNa-
mara's announcement. But one
Marine commander commented:
"I wish him a lot of luck."
The first, relatively easy, step
in "McNamara's Wall"-as it is
being called here-has been tak-
en.
Between April 12 and June 24,
United States Marine and South
Vietnamese engineers scraped out
a 6b0-yard wide clearing from the
Leatherneck artillery base at Gio
Linh west to the Marine strong-

point at Con Thien, a distance of
seven miles roughly paralleling
the DMZ.
The Vietnamese army cleared
some areas in the five miles be-
tween Gio Linh and the sea but
the terrain there is mostly sand
and salt flats anyway.
There has been no evidence that
this defensive strip has been
greatly effective'to date.
Less than a mile west of Con
Thien, however, the foothills of
the mountain range edge up to
the coastal plains and grow quick-
ly to towering peaks-formidable
obstacles to both infiltrating
North Vietnamese and the con-
struction of any electronic wall.
The Marines used between one
and two battalions to provide se-
curity during the clearing of the
first seven miles of the wall.
An even larger security force
probably would be needed if the
wall is extended into the moun-
tains, where the North Vietnamese
could choose about any hilltop
they wanted as a blocking or am-
bush point.
If a barrier could be completed
and properly manned along the
40 miles between North and South
Vietnam, it' undoubtedly would
stifle any major infiltration.
Radar and electronic devices
plus barbed wire and mines could
detect and stall enemy units un-
til defense force could be deployed
to, meet them.
It is questionable, however, if
North Vietnam has been able to
develop any high rate of infiltra-
tion through the DMZ.
North Vietnam attempted to
slip its 324B Division across the
DMZ into South Vietnam in July,

Wall'
1966, but it was caught and driven
back by United States Marines
during Operation Hastings.
Hundreds of Leatherneck pa-
trols filter through the mountains
and valleys day and night to re-
port on any infiltration.
Although no breakdown was
available here on the estimated
number of North Vietnamese in-
filtrators using the various routes
the Ho Chi Minh Trail is still
considered to be the number one
highway for North Vietnamese
soldiers going south.
McNamara told his Washington
news conference the electronic de-
tection system would be installed
late this year or early next year
Experts in Washington indicat-
ed the barrier would be an early
warning system rather than a so-
lid obstacle, McNamara was pur-
posely vague in discussing the
plans.
South Vietnam's President-elect
Nguyen Van Thieu stressed in an
interview just after McNamara',
announcement that the barrier
would be only in South Vietna-
mese territory, "not across the
border of Laos."
