REPORT TO U.S. ON VIETNAM
Envoy’s Return From Saigon WASHINGTON, April 18. The State Department announced today that General J. Lawton Collins was returning from Saigon to report on conditions in Southern Vietnam. He is President Eisenhower’s special representative to the Indo-China State. The department said General Collins would help to prepare for Congressional hearings on the foreign aid proposals. He was expected to return by the end of the week. In explaming the decision to recall him, the State Department said: “The appropriation for Vietnam is one of the most significant items under this (foreign aid) act and will require the presence of General Collins for a brief period.” Officials said, however, that General Collins also would confer with high officials on all aspects of the Vietnamese picture. A United Press report said that presumably would include the question of continuing or withdrawing support from the Vietnamese Prime Minister (Mr Ngo Dinh Diem).
