Wounded Yanks Visited By Veep CLS RK AIR FORCE BASE, Philippines UPI — Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, saddened but proud, visited wounded American soldiers from Viet JCam Thursday at the military hospital here. “I wish all Americans could see what sacrifices these men are making,” said Humphrey after a round of visits to the rooms of the American casualties. ‘‘It was a wonderful experience but also saddening, one that tugs at your heart,” he added. ‘ But at the same time it also makes you feel proud.” Before touring the hospital, the vice president also greeted a large group of wounded Americans, some of them on stretchers, who were being airlifted aboard a military transport jet for the United States for further medical treatment.

leum products to Zambia in January and February. The airlift will start next week. State Department Press Officer Robert J. McCloskey announced that Pan American Airways had been awarded a contract to fly gasoline, oil and lubricants from Leopoldville to Elizabethville, where they will be taken by truck and train across the Congolese border into the Zambian copper belt. McCloskey said the airlift was being undertaken “to minimize the impact upon Zambia of the cessation of petroleum supplies normally received through and from Rhodesia.” The United States and other nations have imposed an oil embargo on Rhodesia. It was learned that the Agency for International Development (AID) has allocated $2 million for the operation. The agency is negotiating for other aircraft to supplement the Pan Am operation with a cargo version of the Boeing 707. The U.S. airlift is part of an over-all effort in cooperation with Britain and Canada to provide more than 14,000 tons of petroleum products for Zambia during January and a higher amount during February. McCloskey said it was expected that by March alternate land routes would be developed to permit a halt of the airlift.

Central Press Washington Writer
ASHINGTON—There is a growing belief that President Johnson is experiencing a slower than expected recuperation from the gall bladder surgery that incapaciated him in October. Even after a longer than expected period in the hospital and a lengthening stay at his Texas ranch, the President
appears drawn and weak; his activities severely restricted; his work load held to an ab-
solute minimum.
WThite House information officials have followed a policy of extreme candor throughout the period of the President's illness. To some, at least, too much detail was provided on some aspects of the operation. And from Texas there has been a continuing flow of news relating to the rate of the President's recovery—the essence of it being that his recovery
is “within the normal range.”
As each day and week passes, however, the recovery rate drops toward the lower limit of that range and soon it will drop below it. Discussions with physicians indicate there is an unusually wide range for the recovery period of gall bladder surgery depending on
many factors. The question is becoming whether, in view of the President’s age and normal physical condition, his recovery is still within the normal range for his particular classification. It is at this very point of consideration that doubts begin to arise about the complete candor of White House spokesmen. Assuming the recovery is in fact slower than was expected, there must come a time in determining what to say that these spokesmen must begin to consider the matter of foreign and of public
reaction.
In the past, presidents have gone to extreme lengths to conceal disability, not out of personal considerations, but from concern for the effect on policies and programs.! While there has been a great movement toward truth and candor, it would be naive to believe that 100 per cent of either has been achieved.

• NOBLESSE OBLIGE—It is refreshing to note the attitude of some American citizens, even those reasonably high in official life, toward European royalty. This attitude we’re talking about was shown in Washington during the visit of His Royal Highness, Prince Bertil of Sweden. As Mrs. Charles A. Vanik, wife of a Democrat representative from Cleveland, passed down the receiving line at a reception, she found she had no way to distinguish the prince from others in the line. She made the faux pas of curtsying to the Swedish ambassador and vigorously shaking the hand of the prince. Far from being embarrassed by the incident, Mrs. Vanik retold the story to anyone who’d listen. As she put it, the error was completely understandable because “a prince doesn't wear a tiara or anything identifiable like that.” Her mother, also at the reception, solved the problem in a different way. She curtsied to everybody.

O ONEUPMANSHIP—In Washington, where the streets abound with expensive sleek, black, official limousines, the Peace Corps has a car that is a standout It is a Volkswagen station wagon.
The director of the agency, Sargent Shriver, stated publicly that his budget was too limited to afford a status symbol to shuttle his per-
sonnel around the city.
No sooner had Shriver made the remark than an oil company offered to donate a car.
Shriver accepted it even though it is a foreign-made product. And emblazoned in prominent letters on each door are the cut-
ting words: “Not Purchased at Government Expense."
