‘War By Mistake’
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. In Toledo, Ohio, Senator Barry Goldwater charged today, that the Democratic Administration got into the fighting in Vietnam “by mistake” and President Johnson is using a “lie and lie” technique to cover up conditions there. He said that the people should know what the United States had committed in weapons and staff to hostilities which, he said, the country had become involved in “by mistake in that the Secretary of Defence went there and told these boys to start shooting when we were only supposed to be instructing.”
This action presumably occurred in the Administration of President Kennedy, but Senator Goldwater called it “Johnson’s war.”
