Crities view the heavier bombing as a policy shift, end- ing hopes for a negotiated set- tlement. while backers called it more likely to make North Viet- nam agree to peace. Senator Wayne Morse (Dem, Ore ). one of Johnson's severest Vietnam critics, saw grave mis- givings in the role the military is taking in determining U.S. foreign policy. He warned in an interview Tuesday. 'The Pentagon is tak- ing over foreign policy, We are near a military takeover. Despite the charades of democ- racy with which they clothe it, a military takeover is not impossible in this country." MUM ON REMARKS Johnson remained publicly uncommitted on Sharp's conten- tion the ground war in the South is defensive in nature and on the argument that heavier bombing offers the best chance of getting North Vietnam to talk peace But the release of testimeny by Sharp that the war must oe won by air attacks on supply and infiltration targets cou- vinced many senators that his views had full White House approval Chairman John Stennis, (Dem. Miss.) made public Tuesday testimony taken in a closed session of his Senate pre- paredness subcommittee Aug. 9 in which the admiral said: "We must continue these operations in the North. They are the offensive element of our strategy. No war is ever brought to a successful conelu- sion by defensive action alone." Chairman J. W. Fulbright of the Senate foreign relations committee said release of Sharp's full testimony by the Pentagon after the subcommit- tee haa rejected a_ previous heavily-censored version indi- cated the administration is tak- ing the position the war can be ended only by bombing the North. "This evidently means more and bigger bombings, preclud- ing any possibility of a lull which might invite any offer for negotiations," the Arkansas Democrat said. Senator Gaylor Nelson (Dem.-Wis.), long-time critic of Johnson's handling of the war, said he thinks the bombings have not been as He can win this war." But Senate Republic Leader Everett M. Dirkson, a Vietnam policy backer, told a press con- ference that if the United States destroys vital. enemy targets in the North the guerrillas may have to fold up in the South. 'If you want to lick 'em, probably that's the best way," he said. Michigan Governor George Romney a potential republican presidential nominee in 1968, told a Lansing, Mich., press conference he doubts the bomb- ings will force North Vietnam to the conference table. Romney said he thought it was a mistake for the United States ever to have become entangled in Vietnam, "'and [ think it would have been better if we had never become involved." itor in 1956 on the family farm near Erskine, 50 miles east of Red Deer, and then committed suicide, politan area in a series dating back to March 1964. The man was tentatively identified as Fred Young, 38, of Med- ford, who had served a sentence for cheque passing Most of the underworld slaying victims have been ex-convicts or their close friends. Police have arrested several men in connection with the slayings but George McLaughlin is the only one to go to trial. ..In THE TIMES Today .. 19 City Students Win Ontario Scholarships P. 13 County Council Deloys Proposed Ambilonce Service Oshowe Steelers One Win From Final P, 10 Obituaries -- 24 Sports -- 10, 11, 12 Television --- 25 Corner Druggists 'Said Hard Hit TORONTO (CP)--Supermar- kets and chain stores have |= increased their sales of tradi- jtional' drug store items and are 'drawing business away from the corner drug store, the Canadian Pharmaceutical Asso- 'ciation convention was told Tuesday.
