Ferry Saigon up combat missions flown by american pilots against the communist rebels Are Only one example of How deeply the United states is committed to winning the hit and run guerrilla War in South Viet Nam. The decisive influence of american manpower or material can be seen in every phase of Mili tary operations against the Viet Cong guerrillas in thin Southeast asian nation. Disclosures last week that Ameri cans Are piloting b26 bombers and t28 fighters were particularly sensational news Here. Observers pointed out however that the main Job of american airmen Here is to train vietnamese Pilous. But until this training is Complete Airpower is needed in the War against the communists and americans Are the Only ones skilled enough to do the Job. Vietnamese pilots Are flying All ad6 fighter bombers used in tactical support of ground operations but there Are not enough qualified pilots to handle the other types of trainees accompany the americans on every flight re porters have been told. But when the chips Are Down when Airpower is needed badly it is the americans who Are called on to deliver the goods. It is the opinion of All but the highest officials in Saigon that with out american help. President Neo Dinh diem s regime would have fallen in a matter of month. This is not necessarily an indictment of diem or his armed forces. It must be remembered that South Viet Nam is Only eight years old and that most of these years have been spent in Battle against forces which Are trying to overthrow the constitutionally elected government. The policy is to Back diem to the Hilt this has been demonstrated time and time again by representatives of president Kenned who have come Here. Among these Aie Gen Maxwell d. Taylor special military adviser to the president vice president Lyndon Johnson. Adm Harry d. Felt commander in chief of forces in the Pacific and even the presi Dent s brother atty. In. Robert Kennedy there Are now an estimated 30.000 communist guerrillas in South Viet Nam the american pilots who bomb and strafe communist strongholds Are but one facet of the intense military activity going on Here. The vietnamese armed forces use american military equipment exclusively. American advisers Are now going Down to company level to give vietnamese troops the training they need. Us.
