WASHINGTON (4) - Clashing
with French President Charles de
Gaulle, President Johnson declar-
ed yesterday that America will
push for a strong, unified Atlantic
defense system with or without
France.
"The United States is determin-
ed," Johnson said, "to join with 13
of her other allies to preserve and'
to strengthen the deterrent
strength of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization."
Calling on de Gaulle for "consul-
tation, not isolation," as the best
way to bring about any NATO re-
form, Johnson held the way open
for the 15th ally, France, "to re-
turn to the common task."
Johnson outlined the U.S. po-
sition in a major speech on the

less put under French control.
In his speech, which followed on
a personal message he sent to de
Gaulle Tuesday, Johnson said:
Stability in Danger
"If our collective effort should
falter-and our common determ-
ination be eroded-the foundation
of the Atlantic's present stability
would be shaken.
"The mightiest arsenal in the
world will deter no aggressor who
knows his victims are too divided
to decide and too unready to re-
spond. That was the lesson of two
world wars."
"Yet a nation-not by the action
of her friends, but by her own
decision to prepare and plan alone
-could still imperil her own se-
curity by creating a situation in
which response would be too late
and too diluted," Johnson said.
War Deterrent
"It is our firm conviction that
collective action through NATO is
the best assurance that war will
be deterred in the Atlantic world.
"We are hopeful that no mem-
ber of the treaty will long remain
withdrawn from the mutual affairs
and obligations of the Atlantic. A
place of respect and responsibility
will await any ally who decides
to return to the common task."

U.S. officials said de Gaulle has

in Hue, the old imperial capital 40
miles farther north. Hue was .the
springboard of the Buddhist-led;
uprising that toppled President
Ngo Dinh Diem's regime in 1963.
But not all the banners were
critical. Others read: "We thank
our American friends for helping
us fight the Viet Cong."
The demonstrations at Hue and
Da Nang were part of a series
set off March 10 by the govern- ,
ment's ouster of Lt. Gen. Nguyen,
Chanh Tri from his command of
that area and his government seat
in Saigon.
Demand Reforms
Students and Buddhists de-
manded Tri's reinstatement and
a speedup in governmental, social
and economic reforms.
Action along these lines was
pledged in the Feb. 8 declaration
of Honolulu. Ky has promised a
new constitution in November and
a national election in 1967.
At the Viet battlefront, U.S.
Marines battled Monday with two
battalions near the village of
Phon Dinh, 70 miles south of Da
Nang.
Other soldiers closed out Opera-
tion Oregon, a sweep on the north-
ern flank of the main force. They
said they killed 99 and captured
eight. American losses in both
cases are described as light.
Bill Passed
Meanwhile, in Washington the
House accepted a technical Sen-
ate amendment to assure congres-
sional scrutiny of Pentagon spend-
ing and sent to President Johnson
an emergency $13.1-billion appro-
priation to help finance the Viet
Nam war.
The House had originally passed
the bill last week and the second
approval was by voice vote with-
out discussion except for a brief
explanation of the amendment.
The Senate had passed the bill 87
to 2 Tuesday.
The money total, exactly what
Johnson requested, is to provide
extra funds to pay for the stepped-
up pace of the fighting during the
remaining 3%12 months of the fis-
cal year which ends June 30.
The amendment would limit
Secretary of Defense Robert S
McNamara's authority to transfer
funds in support of South Viet-
namese and other allied troops, as
was done during World War II
and the Korean conflict.
The bill includes $415 .million
of economic aid for South Viet
Nam and other Asian and Latin-
American trouble centers.

In the absence of information
from the spokesmen of Soviet
communism, most outsiders here
think this Kremlin attitude is
likely to be maintained at the
congress.
It is possible that the Soviet
collective leadership will choose
to denounce the Chinese. But with
the Chinese absent, the chance of
an explosive confrontateion is elim-
inated.
Thus any formal split seems4
just now to depend more on Pe-
king than Moscow.
Asked later what sanctions the
administration might I m p o s e

Fowler said no punitive action
will be taken.
