ARTILLERY LANDINGS
Build-up Of U.S. Forces (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SAIGON, Oct. 24. Four United States heavy artillery battalions began landing in South Vietnam yesterday to protect areas around United States bases, roads and other lines of communications, an American military spokesman said. Two of the battalions are 175 mm. howitzer units, while the other two battalions are armed with Bin howitzers. Each battalion is armed with 12 of the huge cannon. The spokesman said the guns will be stationed at United States military bases in the central highlands and along the coast north of Saigon.
American military manpower in Vietnam is now near the 150,000 mark, United States authorities reported.
Of these, 89,000 are United States Army personnel. The Marine Corps has 37.000 men in Vietnam, the Air Force 14,000, the Navy 8000 and the Coast Guard 300.
IT Is not a question of your ability to stand the cost of advertisements—but being able to survive without it. The thing one has to consider Is not only an extension of your business but of holding what you already have. Advertising not only does not increase the cost of the advertised article, but, on the contrary, makes economies possible that benefit consumers.
