WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-
dent Johnson announced today
he is adding 50,000 troops to
U.S. forces in. Viet Nam, dou-
bling the draft call and asking
the United "Nations to start a
new search for peace in the
Southeast Asian war.
Johnson told a news confer-
ence:
1. The monthly draft call will
jump from 17,000 to 35,000.
2. U.S, military forces in
South Viet Nlm will increase
from 75,000 to 125,000 men.
3. He has directed Ambassa-
dor Arthur J. Goldberg to go to
New York immediately and to
present to the United Nations
secretary general "a letter from
me requesting that all the re-
sources, energy and immense
prestige of the United Nations
be employed to find ways to halt
aggression and bring peace in
Viet Nam."
Goldberg, successor to the late
Adlai SteVenson, was scheduled
to fly to New York and meet
with Secretary General U Thant
within three or four hours.
4. Secretary of Defense Rob-
ert S. McNamara will ask Con-
gress for additional money to
meet the increased costs of the
U.S. effort in Viet Nam.
5. There is no need at this
time to mobilize military re-
serve units or call national
guard units to active duty.
The decision to put the Viet-
namese peace quest up to the
United Nations was a surprise
move by the President — evi-
dently made to emphasize the
often-declared U.S. goal of sim-
ply protecting South Viet Nam
from communist conquest.
The 50,000 man reinforce-
ments will be sent immediately,
Johnson said, adding that more
men will be dispatched to the
fighting if and as necessary*
After making his statements
on Viet Nam, Johnson an-
nounced:
— He has chosen Abe Fortas,
a Washington lawyer, old New
Dealer and longtime friend of
Johnson, for the Supreme Court

of the governors attending the
conference planned to make the

Another governor said he was
informed that the White House
meeting had been set for 5 p.m.
EOT Thursday.
The conference ends its busi-
ness sessions Thursday.
Prior to the President's report
on Viet Nam, the governors
were expecting him to announce
an enlarged draft on American
resources and manpower.
Vice President Hubert H
Humphrey tokl the governors as
much Tuesday night in carefully
screened words at the blade-tie
dinner that marks the social
peak of their annual conference!
Humphrey cautioned the
ernors that the decisions John-
son will announce at a Waal
toa news conference todav
touch the lives of thousands of
American families.
Humphrey pledged the gover-
nors that "we are not going to

aggressors in South Viet Nam to

— is the path of

Johnson said Fortas had told
him numerous times he would
not accept any government ap-
pointment. "In this instance the
job has sought the man," John-
son said, and added that Fortas
has agreed that a call to the
Supreme Court is not a call that
any American can reject.
Johnson said Fortas was his
first choice for the assignment.
— He is naming John W.
Chancellor, White House corre-
spondent for NBC, to be the new
direotor of the Voice of Ameri-
ca.
"This is the first time in the
history of the Voice of Ameri-
ca that a working newsman"
has been given the job, Johnson
said. *
After his lengthy statements—
they took about 2S minutes —
Johnson opened the news con-
ference to questions.
He was asked whether the
United States is prepared with
additional plans should North
Viet Nam escalate its activity?
And what about possible Chi-
nese reaction to the steps he an-
nounced today he is taking?
Johnson said he did not wish
to speculate on that. But," he
added, "this country always will
be prepared to protect the na-
tional interests."
Asked if he believes the war
can be contained "ta this

AUSTIN (Spl) - The Texas
Water Pollution Control Board
today granted the City of Or-
ange an extension to clear up
, municipal pollution of the Sa-
bine River, but requested city
officials to make a progress re-
_nort on Sent. 15.
The request was made at a
meeting of the board in Austin.
Orange Mayor Neal Miller Jr.
and City Mgr. Archie N. Walker
presented, a request for a time
extension so city taxpayers
could consider a second water
and sewer bond issue. The
bond issue election is scheduled
for Aug. 31.
Orange is presently dumping
raw sewage into the river con-
trary to state law.
After considering the request,
the pollution board issued the
following statement:
i "For nearly two years the
members of the water pollution
control board have,, been biding
their time, waiting lor the peo-
ple of the City of Orange to take
the necessary measures to
clean up their sewage treatment
"Theboard doesmrt want nor
does it intend to inject itself
into the activities of use people
of the City of Orange in develop^
S a well-conceived plan to
re the problem.
"Furthermore, the board does
not intend to interfere with the
timely and orderly implementa-
tion of such a plan. However,
the board is concerned that the
people of the City of Orange
recently defeated a bond issue
which included funds for the ex-
tension and improvement to the
citv's sewage treatment system.
''The work proposed would
have greatly alleviated the over-,
loaded and inadequate facilities
at the Byron Simmons Drive ; .
and Jackson Street plants, as.
well as providing service to
areas within the city's jurisdic-
tion which are not now being
served.
"Thé board Is disappointed
that this program was not ap-
proved by the voters, which
means that the correction of the
undesirable conditions now ex-
isting in Orange will be delayed
just that much longer.
"The officials of Orange are
urged to go baek and make ev-
ery effort to bring about ap-
proval by the voters of a pro-
gram which will correct the
pollution conditions in your city.
You are also requested to report
back to the board at our meet-
ing on Sept. 15 to tell the board
'the progress you are making."
Miller told the board he was
happy that an extension had
been granted for the city to re-
view Its program and present
•it back to the citizens.
Walker and Millar met infor-
mally with staff members yes-
terday afternoon and went be-
fore the board today at 9 a.m.
Walker said, "I fad that the
board was very considerate to
its action. They realize that we
are just as anxious to eliminate
the extreme pollution as they
are. We certainly appreciate
their cooperative action."
The pollution board has the
prerogative to fine Orange from
$100 to $1,000 per day if the
pollution of the river is not
stopped.
In the $3 million water and
sewer bond issue defeated by
Orange voters on June 22, a
program was included to elimi-
nate dumping of sewsge into
the Sabine River at Riverside,
local naval base and South
Orange.

Orange County school super-
intendents met today to discuss
the possibility of using some
federal and state funds for
some countywide educational
proposals.
The educators met this morn-
ing at the Orange County
Courthouse to formulate ideas
to present to their respective
school board. . ■*
Hie meeting is the third
in a series since the June 19
gubernatorial veto of HB 991,
which would have created tech-
nical-vocational educational dis-
tricts throughout the state.
The plan being considered es-
sentially would consist of three
parts:
1. Maintaining the same sep-
arate academic program now
in progress at each school dis-
trict in the county.
2. Working together to create
a technical vocational center
through HB 490 to provide for
countywide needs. The- bill,
which received Gov. John Con-
lly's approval at the same
time HB 991 was vetoed, pro-
v-si^.w«i*i-aw
."•* w w
vides that certain school dis-
tricts be designated by the
Texas Education Agency to ad-
minister vocational training.
3. Setting up countywide ed-
ucational curriculum research
and resource center, which
eould have an educational data
processing center, to be used
by all schools in the county.
Neither county school hoards
nor superintendents have taken
any action on the proposal.
However, superintendents in the
county have expressed the de-
sire to continue to study plans
for joint education ventures.
Funds for the projects are pos-
sible under Titles 1, 2 and 3 of
the Federal Elementary and
Secondary School Act of 1965.
Title 1 could make available
$330,000 to Orange County on
the basis of the number of dis-
advantaged youths in the county.
The Texas Education Agency
has issued an opinion that fundi
under Title I could be used for
almost anything having to do
with the education of disad-
vantaged children.
Title 2 sets up $5 million
