The united States team proved
to be the most outstanding group
of the games. The American athletes 
captured a record total of
107 medals, including 45 gold
medals in setting several world records 
of individual and team performances. 


Some fans are commenting about 
the disappointing showing of
the teams of the Soviet Union,
which had dominated so many
Olympiads in recent years. Some
are also, singing the praises of the
Kenyans for their fine showing
in the track and field events,
which won them victories over the
Russians.
So many of the finest amateur

athletes in the world presented
great performances that will be
talked about for many years to
come. When the hus and cry and
all the other excitement have subsided, 
fans will be talking about
the outstanding performances of
various teams and individuals, the
disappointments, the controversies 
the imporatance or unimportance 
of the games.
Many football fans are winderin 
just what kind of mysterious
touch the Green Bay Packers have
over the Dallas Cowboys in that
the Cowboys seemingly just can't
down the Packers in the big one.
The trice beaten Packers this season 
turned back the Cowboys 2817 
Monday night at Dallas in a
National Football League game.
The Cowboys went into the game
with a 6-0 record for the season
and smartin Hinder the memory
of two previous defeats at the
hands of the Packers in the last
games. So what is one suppose to
do?

U.S. Military Commander In Viet
Meets Secretly With Pres. Johnson
Gen. Creighton 
Abrams U. S. military commander 
in Vietnam met secretely
with President Johnson and his
tap security advisers throughout
the day, the White House said
later Tuesday.
Abrams' presence in Washington
was not generaly known until
White House Press Secretary
George Christian disclosed his
trip in late afternoon. Christian
refused to say when the general
arrived but said he returned directly 
to Vietnam alter Tuesday
conference.
Christine would not comment on
the meaning of Abrams' visit which
occurred amid presistent speculation 
that a halt in U. S. bombing
of North Vietnam was in the works.
Christian would only call it a
"general military review." But
Christian denied that Abrams'
visit signified any change in efforts 
to bring about expanded
peace talks with North Vietnam in
Paris. He said nothing has changed 
since the President spoke on

the subject of the war last week.
At that tome Johnson said there
had been no change in the war anr
no breakthrough in diplomatic negotiations. 

Asked how the meeting Tuesday
should be interpreted, Christian
replied, "You interpret it any way
you want to."
The President's spokesman said
Johnson had decided this past
weekend to call Abrams to Washington 
for a meeting rather than
conferring with his war commander 
at some other site.
As for the secrecy of their meeting 
Christian said: 'Some times in
a wartime situation a field commander 
does not make prior announcements 
on his travels."
For several weeks there had been
speculation that Johnson planned

to fly to Honolulu Hawaii for yet
another high level conference with
U. S. officials in Vietnam on the
course of the war. The President
said Thursday at his news conference 
he bad no plant for such
a trip.
During their private talks Christian 
said, Johnson awarded Abrams
the distinguished service Medal as
successor to Gen. Wiliam C. Westmoreland, 
who returned last June
to become Army chief of staff.
At lunch, Abrams met with Johnson 
secretary of state Dean Rusk
Defense Secretary Clark Clifford,
Director Richard Helms of the
Central Intelligence Agency, Presidental 
adviser Walt W. Rostow,
and Gen Earle G. Wheeler, chairman 
of the Joint Cheifs of Staff
Abrams left for Vietnam some time
after lunch.

300 North Koreans
Killed In DMZ, '68
In Seoul, South Korea, it is announced 
that about 300 North
Koreans have been killed or captured 
trying to infiltrate the Demilitarized 
Zone separating the two
Koreas so far this year.
A young American soldier on
guard duty against just such infiltrators 
is killed in another of
the sporadic clashes which are a
feature of this other unsettled Asian
war alter 14 years of truce.
He is the 13th American to die
this year along the truce line.
The total for last year was 16
And in a Communist detention
camp, presumably located near the
North Korean capital of Pyongyang, 
82 American crew members
of the intelligence ship Puebio,
seized by the North Koreans last
Jan. 23, await the outcome of negotiations 
for their release in the
truce village of Panmunjom.
It is a dreary recital of events to
which there is yet no predictable
end.
North Korea's high-handed seizure 
of the Pueblo and the war in
Viet nam both arc affronts to
American pride, constituting as
they do a direct challenge to the
world's most powerful nation by
two of the Communist world's
smallest.
They are blemishes which President 
Lyndon B. Johnson would like
to erase from the record before
his term ends in January-return of
the Pueblo crew on the one hand
and the beginning of meaningful
peace talks over Vietnam on the
other.
It has been the fate of American
presidents that not since the 1920's
has one been able to leave office
fooling that his talks have been
completed.
President Harry S. Truman left
office with the Korean War still
raging.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
hoped to leave office with a record 
as a peace president only to
be confronted in the closing months
with failure of the Paris summit

meeting over the U2 incident and
anti-U. S. riots which prevented a
visit to Japan.
Precedent and international practice 
bind the United States in its
dealings on the Pueblo.
To the demands of the then Soviet 
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
that the United States apologize
for the spy flights of the U2, Eisenreplied: 

"These activities had no aggressive 
intent but rather were to assure 
the safety of the United States
and the Free World against surprise
attack by a power which boasts
of its ability to devastate."
There was no apology such as now
is demanded for the alleged incrusion 
of the Pueblo into North Korea's 
territorial waters.
The U. S. has denied any intrusion 
into the claimed 2-mile limits
of North Korean terditorial waters,
has further declared that Russia
has two or three times more intelligence 
vessels than the United
States one witnessed the pick-up of
U. S. astronauts in the Atlantic a
week ago, and that, further, "there
has been a general understanding
that there will be no interference
with these vesseles on the high
seas."
