The primary concern on Mc Samara's long list of top- ics for discussion is how much and how fast to booat L\ S. military ttreagth here match the *t£ady buildup in North Vietnamese di\h sions in three of t^e coun- tr> '$ four army c4rps areas. Second ia importance ap- parently is to be the pacifi- cation program, the drive to win the allegiance of the peasants. SAIGON* (AP) — More enemy troops than ever before—a total of 8S6.0W—were officially esti- mated to be operating ih South Vietnam as Secretary of De- fense Robert S McNamara sped toward a landing here Friday for his ninth ftrst-hand look at the war The apparently steady rise in Communist rolls, which intelli- gence officers six years ago figured at 30.000. is a major fac* tor to be weighed by McNamara in considering a possible in- crease in the commitment of American fighting men beyond the current projected level of 470.000 The l\S\ Command reckoned Jhat despite combat losses and the\ bombing tJHsuppTy Jiaes» recruiting and infiltration pro- vided a net increase of 1.000 m the ranks of the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese in t|ie *eek from June 25 to July 1 This'came in a ueek in which •1 .131 of the enemy were report- ed killed in actum These fights cost the lives of 161 Americans and 159 of the other allies. There have been reports that Gen. Uilliam C Westmoreland, the commander of t\S forces \i\ Vietnam, would like as many as ?oo,ow additional troops. The would put more Ameri- cans in the *ar than all South Vietnam's 600,000man armed forces, regulars and militia, and the 54,000 men fighting under the (lags of the other allies The command's weekly sum- mary put American military strength in the country last Sat- urday midnight at 4^4.080 com- pared wiih 4M.0OO a week ear- lier The«x* was no official ex- planation of the decrease, but it may have resulted from the withdrawal of a Marine landing *forve brought in for one opera- tion.
