i l i 4 l i l i Schoenbrun Says VVar ls Mistake David Schoenbrun, veteran newsman who has reported on Viet Nam for twenty-two years, told his audience that the present war is a mistake. Review- ing the conflict in Viet Nam, he criticized United States involvement in Vietnamese affairs. I don't like Communism, but I don't think the United States can help military Fascists fight Com- munism, he said. He contradicted present reports of American suc- cess in Viet Nam. Three years ago we estimated the enemy had 400 men in the South. After our drop- ping one million tons of bombs, they now have 40,000 regular fighters in the South, he declared. Does this sound as if we are winning the war? A former chief correspondent for CBS, he is now a professor of international affairs at Columbia Uni- versity where he teaches a course on Vietnamese history. ln 1946 he interviewed Ho Chi Minh, North Vietnamese leader, and has been on the battlefield frequently since in addition to reading all reports re- lated to Viet Nam. 1-53g V ,ftl I ng, l Deploring US policy in Viet Nam, Schoenbruri urged complete and immediate withdrawal. Schoeribrun gestures forcefully while mak- ing a point at the question-and-answer ses- sion held in the SUB. 3 D
