Goldwater Urges Hanoi Bombing
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3. Mr Barry Goldwater yesterday urged heavy bombing of industrial targets in Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital.
Mr Goldwater said in a taped television interview that the war in Vietnam could be ended in a relatively few months if “we would say to Hanoi that you are no longer a sacred place.” He urged that industrial targets, not the city, should be heavily bombed. He criticised the visits to Vietnam of so many civilians.
“They won’t let me go. but they let Ted Kenned; (Democratic Senator for Massachusetts) go and he does not know which end of the rifle the bullet comes from,” he said.
Mr Goldwater, who was Republican candidate for Presi-
dent last year, also called for the resignation of the Secretary of Defence, Mr Robert McNamara.
He said Mr McNamara had “too big a say” in making foreign policy and had shunted aside older military heads.
