General Note
New York Herald Tribune staff member Tom Lambert reports on the long-range results of a plan implemented three years earlier by the U.S. Government: three pigs and a year's worth of corn were to be given to each of 5,000 Vietnamese families throughout South Vietnam, to provide a source of food and revenue. But, as Lambert reports, many of the families mishandled the gifts, making the plan seem unsuccessful. Lambert uses this as an example for reviewing other forms of aid to Vietnam.
