Crashes Claim
8 Americans
SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(UPI) Two U.S. Army aircraft
a helicopter and a light plane
crashed in unrelated incidents
Thursday, apparently killing
eight American servicemen, it
was announced today. The heli
copter was reported shot down
by Communist ground fire.
A U.S. military spokesman
said a U.S. Army H-37 helicop
ter with five American soldiers
aboard crashed in the Mekong
River Delta about 60 miles
southeast of Saigon. Four men
were killed and one seriously
injured.
In the other incident, the
spokesman said the wreckage
of a U.S. "Otter" light trans
port plane with four Americans
and three Vietnamese, aboard
was found during the night 500
feet from the peak of a 7,000-
foot mountain in the jungles 160
miles north of Saigon. There
was no sign of survivors.
If all eight deaths are finally
confirmed, they will bring the
toll of Americans killed in ac
tion here to 128, with 80 of them
this year.

Until now. that has not al
ways been the case. In tho past
because of a steady buildup in
Polaris submarines and other
defense programs, the Defense
Department had to explain with
each cost reduction why spend
ing was increasing.
Nothing placated Congress,
however. Sen. Kennedy B. Keat
ing, R-N. Y., introduced a bill
to block the base closings in
economically depressed areas.
Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, D-N.Y.
promised to turn the Pentagon
upside down before accepting
the cutbacks. New York stands
to lose seven installations.
Rep. Bob Wilson, R - Calif.,
said the decision to close the
San Diego naval repair facility
lacked logic in view of other
"pump-priming" programs. Wil
son said he has asked Assistant
Navy Secretary Kenneth BeLieu
to reconsider the closure on the
basis of "economic horse
sense." (
Under McNamara's order, a
total of 33 bases would be shut
down over a three and one-half
year period. Twenty six of the
bases were in the United States.
The seven others were , in three
foreign countries, but were not
identified until the governments
concerned can be informed.
In his news conference, Mc
Namara said the closings will
result in a "net loss" of 8,500
civilian jobs. It was evident,
however, that many other civil
ian workers at the bases will
have to make long distance
moves in order to keep their
government Jobs. In these cases
the government will pay for the
moving expenses.
McNamara talked of actual
reductions which will bring de
fense denartment civilian . cni-
plbyin'cnt to the lowest -total-in

The increase in mill
tary spending since McNamara
took office has been from J43

Eisenhower in the last budget
he submitted to Congress, to an
estimated $51 billion for the
year ending next July 1.

Curtail Red
Space Funds
MOSCOW (UPI)-Premier Ni.
kits Khrushchev threw the full
weight of his oratory today into
a final plea for a seven-year
economic plan that is likely to
curtail Soviet defense and space
budgets.
The 69-year-old government
and party leader started his
windup speech before the plen
ary session of the Communist
party's ruling Central Commit-
tee today.
Khrushchev was expected to
speak for two hours, with offi
cial reports on the speech ex
pected later tonight.
About 5,000 party experts and
technicians attending the plen
um heard Khrushchev expound
on the urgent need of a 42 bil
lion rubles ($46.2 billion) invest
ment in the chemical industry
during tho next seven years.
The plan to revitalize the
chemiccl industry, with partic-
jular emphasis on chemical fer
tilizers to boost the nation's
chronically failing agricultural
program, was the sole item on
tho agenda.
Khrushchev himself presided
over the special . committee
which drafted a decree approv
ing the seven-year project.
The plenum was held in the
Kremlin's Palace of Congres
ses. The plenum was running an
extra day, through Saturday
morning, to allow the 175 vot
ing members to give formal
approval to the project for a
chemical revolution that is
bound to affect other parts of
the Soviet budget.
Saturday's meeting, attended
only by the 175 full members.
and 155 alternates, will allow
",cm a Private discussion on or
ganizational and other matters.
N. K. Buivakov, chairman oi
the State Committee on Chemi
cal a.nd Oil Industries, claimed
that with the advances projected-
Itf ihe- new plaw, the "-Soviet'
Union would surpass the United
States in oil output by 1970. '
He said the 1970 Soviet . oil
production would be between
350 and 390 million tons of oil
as compared to an annual pro
duction now of 205 million tons.
Vcnyamln Dymshlts, chair
man of the National Economic
Council, told tile 6,000 delegates
to the party meeting that pro
duction of machinery for new
fertilizer plants will be
"reached in full" by next year.
Khrushchev seeks to triple the
production of chemical fertiliz
ers in the next seven years as
a means of solving the crop
shortages that this year forced
the Soviets to purchase up to
$1 billion in grain from the
West.
In addition, the chemical in
dustry will be able to turn out
more consumer goods to satisfy
increasing demands.
The next stop for the program
is to go before the Supreme So
viet, the Soviet Parliament,
which meets Monday. Khru
shchev is expected to address
that body, too, but Foreign Min
ister Andrei Gromyko is sched
uled to make the main speech.
II will be the first foreign pol
icy statement since the death
of President Kennedy.
The entire week of parly
meetings has been devoted. to
agriculture, the Bore spot in a
ycor of general Industrial
growth and production suc
cesses.
