The JCS organize Sigma II, a ‘war game’ that is to estimate the possible results of a U.S. air offensive against North Vietnam. One team represents the United States, the other North Vietnam, and the conclusion is that the Communists are not going to stop fighting, no matter how much North Vietnam is bombed.
UN Secretary General U Thant secretly tries to set up direct talks in Rangoon, Burma, between the United States and the North Vietnamese; President Johnson agrees in principle, but when U Thant reports to his top aides that Hanoi is willing to meet, they do not inform Johnson. (Secretary of State Rusk will claim that to meet with North Vietnam would mean ‘the acceptance or the confirmation of aggression.’)
Soviet Premier Khrushchev is also secretly trying to get the North Vietnamese to negotiate with the United States, and although the Vietnamese distrust the Russians, he offers the prospect of increased aid.
Reliable reports are coming from Saigon that top U.S. officials are informing South Vietnamese leaders that if Major General Nguyễn Khánh is not allowed back into the government, the United States may have to reconsider its role. The State Department will deny such claims. American officials are reported to have told various South Vietnamese leaders that the United States would have to reconsider its role in the fight against Communists here if Khánh does not resume his participation in the Government.
General Khánh, who is convalescing in this mountain resort in the wake of two weeks of recurrent political and social crisis, was resisting American pressure today to return to Saigon soon. In an interview this morning, General Khánh said he might remain at the resort, 140 miles northeast of Saigon, for two weeks more. “My return depends on many factors,” he said, “many factors — international, Vietnamese and personal.” The Premier displayed bitterness toward Major General Dương Văn Minh and Lieutenant General Trần Thiện Khiêm, who joined him last Thursday to form a governing triumvirate. “It is now a duomvirate,” General Khánh said. “The ones who were thirsty for power are in Saigon now and have the power.” He indicated that he planned to wait until the other generals found they could not cope with the country’s problems. Then, he said, his presence would once again be required in Saigon.
The United States Ambassador, Maxwell D. Taylor, said yesterday after visiting General Khánh that the general was “rested and recovered” and that he expected to return to Saigon within a few days. The general is reported to have said in conversations here that he wants to return to the Government with full powers. These powers, he was quoted as having said, must include a guarantee that he can purge the Administration of members of the Đại Việt, a right-wing nationalist party whose leaders General Khánh has accused of having betrayed him. Rioting against General Khánh’s regime broke out August 16 when the leader’s title was changed from Premier to President and his power greatly increased. Last Saturday a civilian, Nguyễn Xuân Oánh, was named Acting Premier in a move to stem protests. He announced that General Khánh had suffered a physical and mental breakdown.
Late today Nguyễn Tôn Hoàn, leader of the Đại Việt, announced his resignation as First Deputy Premier. He had served in the Khánh Government since last February. Before he left last week for Đà Lạt, General Khánh had accused Mr. Hoàn of putting the party’s interests before those of the nation. He said Mr. Hoàn had revealed Cabinet secrets to advance the Đại Việt cause.
General Khánh received a succession of visitors today at his weathered yellow villa. Lieutenant General William C. Westmoreland called on the Premier to get his assurance that the pacification program against the Communist guerrillas would continue despite the uncertain political situation in Saigon. General Khánh met reporters today at the gate house on the drive leading to the villa. The 37-year-old Premier was casually dressed. He wore a black and. white checked sweater, a white silk scarf around his neck and dark glasses. “You can see I am not insane,” he said in greeting the correspondents. Throughout the conversation it was apparent that General Khánh was still nettled by Dr. Oánh’s statement that he had suffered a collapse. General Khánh said he was suffering only from hemorrhoids. “Of course,” he joked, “a mad man will never admit that he is crazy.”
North Vietnam declared today that its territorial air space and waters extended 12 miles off the coast and warned the United States to respect this limit. If the United States violates Vietnamese air space or territorial waters the country will defend itself, a spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a broadcast monitored here. The Hanoi radio said the declaration was made in protest against a statement made recently by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Cyrus R. Vance, that the United States recognized only a three-mile limit.
Premier Souvanna Phouma said today that France could give guidance to the three rival Laotian factions to help them settle the future of Laos. The Prince made the statement after he had conferred for half an hour with Premier Georges Pompidou. The leaders of the three Laotian factions, Prince Souvanna Phouma of the neutralists, Prince Souphanouvong of the pro-Communists and Prince Boun Oum of the rightist have been in Paris for a week trying to work out preliminary terms for a settlement of the discord in the nation.
Lieutenant Charles F. Klusmann, captured when his Navy reconnaissance plane was shot down June 6 over the Plaine des Jarres in Central Laos, has escaped from the pro-Communist Pathet Lao, the White House announced today. The officer, “in reasonably good health,” is at Udon Airfield, in Thailand, George E. Reedy, the press secretary, said. No details of his escape were made public. Lieutenant Klusmann parachuted from his unarmed jet when it was hit by antiaircraft fire. He waved off a rescue helicopter sent to the scene to pick him up and then was surrounded by Pathet Lao troops, Mr. Reedy said. The information that he had reached safety was relayed by the United States Embassy in Thailand.
Mr. Reedy said, in response to questions, that the matter was of sufficient importance to be announced by the White House rather than the Defense Department, where such operational incidents are normally made public. He did not elaborate. Lieutenant Klusmann, who is 30 years old and the father of two children, was flying a low-level reconnaissance flight from the carrier USS Kitty Hawk when he was shot down. The Laotian Government of Premier Souvanna Phouma had requested the United States flights to check on movements of the pro-Communist troops. After his capture, the Pathet Lao radio broadcast a purported “confession” in which the lieutenant allegedly condemned “foreigners who come to Laos to wage war.”
Pravda, the organ of the Soviet Communist party, accused Communist China today of having made claims to a vast area in the Soviet Union. “We are faced with an openly expansionist program with far-reaching pretensions,” Pravda said. The accusation came in a major Pravda editorial commenting on Mao Tse-tung’s recent talks with Japanese Socialists. The editorial was given out throughout the world by Tass, the Soviet press agency.
Pravda accused the Chinese Communists of have persistently published maps showing vast areas of the Soviet Union, plus Burma, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, Malaya, Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim, as Chinese territory. Chinese claims on Soviet territory, it said, total more than 500,000 square miles. Sinkiang Province has been a recent source of trouble between the Chinese Communists and the Russians. Pravda said: “What would happen if all states should follow the Peking recipe and start presenting mutual claims to each other for a revision of historically formed borders? There is no difficulty in answering this question. This road would mean an inevitable aggravation of international tensions and would be fraught with military conflicts.”
Pravda added the accusation that Mr. Mao was trying to stir unrest in the Soviet bloc by fabricating “so‐called territorial issues” between a number of Socialist countries–presumably a reference to the Soviet takeover of Polish, Rumanian and Czechoslovak territories. “These attempts are doomed to failure in advance,” it said. Pravda derided the Chinese leader’s contention that the Chinese Communists’ differences with other Communists amounted merely to a paper war that did no harm since no one was killed. Pravda said that in “its fierceness, its scale and methods,” the Chinese assault did not differ from the “cold war of the countries of imperialism against the countries of Socialism.”
The Greek Government unexpectedly sent Defense Minister Petros Garoufalias tonight to Cyprus to ascertain that Archbishop Makarios had not assumed any unwanted commitments to Cairo during his weekend talks with President Nasser. Greece is pledge to defend Cyprus if Turkey attempts a military intervention on the island. The Greek Government, therefore, is anxious to know the price Archbishop Makarios has agreed to pay for a formal promise by the United Arab Republic to help Cypriotes “protect their independence and territorial integrity” in case of attack.
Johnson Administration officials indicated today that they would persist in efforts to solve the Cyprus crisis despite the apparent breakdown of United Nations mediation. Collapse of the United Nations talks was seen by the Administration as posing a new danger for all concerned in the dispute over Cyprus. This assessment was made by State Department officials, who warned that “nothing further” should be expected in the foreseeable future from the United Nations-directed mediation efforts in Geneva. The fear was that a diplomatic vacuum of indefinite duration might add to the crisis. Officials in Washington were especially perturbed that the apparent breakdown in Geneva had come at a time when a new dangerous flare-up might develop over Turkey’s plan to rotate one-third of her 650-man garrison on Cyprus.
Archbishop Makarios, the Cypriot President, has announced that he will not permit the rotation. Responding to international pressure, the Turkish Government agreed last week to a postponement. The concern here now, however, is that, in part because of the failure of the Geneva talks, Turkey may insist soon on exercising her right to replace a part of the garrison. Pending the return here from Geneva Friday of Dean Acheson, who was President Johnson’s personal representative at the talks, United States officials were not prepared to discuss what further steps might be taken to keep searching for a settlement. The Administration made it clear, however, that it would continue in its efforts to prevent the Cyprus crisis from erupting into an open war between Greece and Turkey, both of them allied with the United States in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The U.N. Secretary General, U Thant, has made a “most urgent” appeal to rebel leaders in the Congo to allow Americans and other foreigners to leave the Stanleyville area. He asked consent to send in a “humanitarian” mission. The Congo situation is so confused that Mr. Thant’s appeal could be addressed only to “the authorities in control of Stanleyville” and could be transmitted only in broadcasts by radio stations of neighboring countries. A spokesman said the appeal was sent last night to the Governments of Burundi, the Congo’ (Brazzaville) — the former French Congo — and Ghana, with a request that they broadcast it. The spokesman said Washington had asked Mr. Thant to make the appeal.
Communist China isued an official denial today that it had intervened in the Congo, but at the same time it expressed strong support of the rebel movements against the Congolese Government.
Israel’s Foreign Minister, Mrs. Golda Meir, speaking to African diplomats in Jerusaleum today, denounced mercenaries and adventurers who fought for pay in the Congo. An Israeli airman, Joseph Eshet, was killed Friday in the crash of a Belgian plane carrying munitions near Leopoldville. Mr. Eshet, who was 29 years old, was said to have been an employe of Sabena, the Belgian airline that assigned him to its subsidiary, Air Congo. He arrived in Leopoldville from the United States. Arab propagandists in Africa have been exploiting his death to charge Israel with having sent mercenaries to fight for Premier Moise Tshombe against the rebels.
Pakistan’s President Mohammed Ayub Khan made a new appeal tonight for improved relations between India and Pakistan and suggested that a good place to start might be in jointly harnessing the annual floods of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers.
The Government of Denmark decided today to set up the planned stand-by peace force to be available to the United Nations.
A Spanish military court sentenced an 18-year-old Scottish student to 20 years in prison today for “terrorist activities” against the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
Spokoynoy nochi, malyshi! (literally, “Good night, kids!”), a ten-minute bedtime story for young children to watch before they went to bed at 9:00 p.m., premiered on Soviet Central Television. Featuring clay animation and puppetry, the series is still broadcast on Russian TV today.
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations endorsed today President Johnson and Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, his Vice-Presidential running mate, for election November 3. A statement adopted by the federation’s general board urged every union member to give the Democratic ticket his “most wholehearted support.” The statement, in addition to attacking the Republican platform, sharply criticized Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican Presidential nominee, and Representative William E. Miller of upstate New York, the Vice-Presidential candidate.
“Senator Goldwater is basically an impulsive man, not, given to deep thought or careful consideration, unversed in the historical background against which every national leader must function, seemingly unaware of basic human needs and wholly unresponsive to the subtleties of international relations upon which the survival of mankind depend,” the statement said. “To put it in the kindliest way, Congressman Miller has been the wheelhorse of the least enlightened wing of the Republican party,” the statement declared. “There is nothing in his record, to suggest that he is equipped to be the nation’s No. 2 officer — much less to assume the Presidency itself.” The 166-man A.F.L.-C.I.O. general board, after endorsing Mr. Johnson and Mr. Humphrey unanimously, went to the White House to hear George Meany, the federation’s president, tell the President of their action.
The Administration’s effort for a medical care plan for the aged heads for a decisive vote in the Senate tomorrow. The decision to cut off debate and vote on the plan was made late today, after hours of maneuvering by both supporters and opponents. The Administration plan, disclosed yesterday during the opening debate, embraces both health insurance and increased cash benefits under Social Security. Attempts will be made to include these provisions, as an amendment, in the House-passed bill to increase Social Security benefits and taxes. Tomorrow’s vote will not mark the end of the Senate debate on the bill, for dozens of other amendments to the House bill are pending.
“We are all saddled up, our boots are on, our spurs are polished, our blue Levis are on and we are ready to go,” Senator Barry Goldwater said tonight. The Republican Presidential nominee was speaking before a crowd of several thousand during a brief stop at his home town for the formal presentation of his new chartered campaign jet. Later Mr. Goldwater took off for Washington to cast his Senate vote against an Administration proposal for medical care for the aged. The Senator arrived here from Los Angeles, where he had spent the day before television cameras taping political announcements for use in the campaign.
The reason for Mr. Goldwater’s unexpected cross‐country trip was to vote against a Democratic amendment to a Social Security bill pending in the Senate. The amendment is a somewhat softened version of the Administration’s plan to provide medical care for the aged under Social Security. Mr. Goldwater spoke twice today by telephone with the Republican Senate leader, Everett McKinley Dirksen, who advised him that his vote against the amendment might be needed. Mr. Goldwater remarked that he had seen a recent nose count of the Senate done by the American Medical Association that showed 49 Senators for the plan, 50 against it and one undecided. “It’s tight enough that the leadership wants me back,” he said.
Only two months before the scheduled election, the delegates to the New York State Democratic Convention nominated U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy as their candidate for U.S. Senator, favoring him 968 to 153 over Congressman Samuel S. Stratton. On the same day, the Liberal Party of New York nominated Kennedy as its candidate as well, while the Republican Party of New York renominated the incumbent U.S. Senator, Kenneth Keating. Kennedy was a resident of Massachusetts rather than New York, but New York law did not have a residency requirement for its candidates for the U.S. Senate. Later in the day, U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina introduced a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that would require that a U.S. Senator to meet the same residence requirements as a voter “in the state he represents”, commenting that “Recent occurrences have negated the clear intention of the Constitution. This circumstance should be remedied.”
The House Judiciary Committee moved today toward an investigation of the Justice Department’s treatment of James R. Hoffa, but apparently did not take the final step. The chief sponsor of the inquiry, Representative Roland V. Libonati, asserted that the committee, which met in closed session, had ordered the investigation by a vote of 18 to 14. But Representative Emanuel Celler, Brooklyn Democrat who is committee chairman, said that the vote was merely on whether or not to vote to order the investigation. In any event, the vote appeared to indicate that a majority of the 35-man committee favored public hearings on charges by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters that the Justice Department had abused its powers in the investigation and trials of Hoffa, the union’s president.
A New York County grand jury reported yesterday that NYPD Lieutenant Thomas R. Gilligan, who shot a 15‐year‐old Black boy last July, was not criminally liable for the killing. The slaying of the youth, James Powell, in front of a building at 215 East 76th Street, touched off rioting and looting two days later in Harlem and then in Brooklyn’s Bedford – Stuyvesant section. The grand jury cleared Lieutenant Gilligan of any wrongdoing and refused to indict him after holding 15 meetings at which 1,600 pages of testimony were given by 45 witnesses. Much of the testimony was contradictory: whether the boy had a knife; what was said before the shooting; where the persons involved were standing, and how the boy’s body fell.
The Police Department said yesterday that Lieutenant Gilligan was still on sick leave, as a result of the cutting he assertedly received from the Powell boy, and that he would be out for several more weeks. The department declined to disclose his whereabouts. The Police Department’s Complaint Review Board met yesterday and decided to continue its investigation into the Gilligan case. The board had suspended its inquiry when the grand jury began its investigation. The review board will seek the grand jury minutes and study them before making any recommendations to the Police Commissioner.
Black leaders were highly critical yesterday of the grand jury’s report that there was no basis for action against Police Lieutenant Thomas R. Gilligan in the fatal shooting of a Black boy. Their remarks were tempered in many cases by a fear that strong statements might tend to provoke new outbreaks in Harlem, like the ones that fol lowed the shooting. James Farmer, national di rector of the Congress of Racial Equality, said that. CORE would issue its own report within 48 hours. “CORE is astonished-that the grand jury, with the compliance of the District Attorney’s office, has seen fit to exonerate a 200-pound police lieutenant in the slaying of a 122-pound Black youngster,” Mr. Farmer said.
Rural Leake County, the birthplace of former Governor Ross R. Barnett, enrolled a Black child in a white public school today under rigid security provided by the local police and Federal officers. A Black lawyer said eight other Black pupils scheduled to enter the Carthage Elementary School under a federal court order had dropped out after pressure had been brought against their parents by white leaders in the community. Derrick Bell of New York, the lawyer who represents the Black plaintiffs, said he would ask federal authorities to intervene against the alleged intimidation and would seek an injunction in Federal court against the whites involved.
It was a tense day for the town of 2,500, one of four areas in Mississippi ordered to lower racial barriers in public schools this fall. Only the presence of a large police force kept gangs from forming in the streets. The lone Black, 6‐year‐old Debora Lewis, was brought to the school by Mr. Bell and another lawyer after 93 white first‐graders had registered and gone home. All are scheduled to begin classes tomorrow. Superintendent of Education J. T. Logan Jr. said the girl had registered previously in a Black school but would be accepted on the same basis as other transfer students. The Carthage school, which includes all 12 grades, is one block from the town square. All streets around the school were blocked off and only students, teachers and parents allowed to enter. Leake Country, in the geographical center of the state, is an area of sandy hills and small farms. Blacks in the Harmony community, 14 miles southeast of Carthage, brought the integration suit in the spring of 1963 after the Harmony Black school had been closed under a consolidation program. The Federal District Court ordered grade‐a‐year integration beginning with the first grade this fall.
Mr. Bell, a member of the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc., told reporters that the parents of nine Black children in the county had decided to enroll them in the Carthage school under the court order. “But there are elements in the county that have been actively opposed” to integration, he said. “In the last few days they have gone to the homes of the Black parents and strongly advised the parents not to send them,” he continued. He said the persons who made the visits were reported to hold “places of importance” in the community. “As a result of these visits and advice,” Mr. Bell said, “the parents have become afraid.” He said several Blacks in Harmony had been subjected to “threats and harassment” as well as economic pressures. Mr. Bell said that if the whites involved were enjoined by the court, some of the Black parents would enroll their children in the Carthage school.
President Johnson signed a bill today setting up a $15 million damage and rehabilitation fund to help New York’s Seneca Indians adjust to construction of the Allegheny River dam and reservoir. The $107 million reservoir project in New York and Pennsylvania will flood much of. the Indians’ Allegany Reservation. This land, whose name is spelled in one of several variation of the word Allegheny, was guaranteed to the Senecas forever by a 1794 treaty.
A leader of the Communist Party of the United States accused the pro-Chinese Communists today of acting as troublemakers in the recent race riots in Harlem. Mrs. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, writing in Pravda, condemned the Chinese Communists and Senator Barry Goldwater in equal terms and pledged the loyalty of the Communist party of the United States to the Kremlin. Her article was commemorating the 45th anniversary of the party. She is the party’s national chairman. The “irresponsible policies of the Chinese leaders resemble the positions [on nuclear war] taken by Goldwater and may lead to a world holocaust,” she wrote in the Soviet party newspaper.
Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson attended to “housekeeping chores” at the LBJ ranch today and checked airline schedules for a possible return trip to Washington tomorrow, The Austin Statesman said. The newspaper quoted an aide as having said Mrs. Johnson would reserve a seat on a commercial airplane, with the flight possibly out of Dallas or San Antonio. She remained at the ranch after President Johnson flew back to Washington yesterday.
A House committee investigating the tax-exempt foundations operated by H.L. Hunt has lost the trail of $273,691 that was donated for subscriptions to Facts Forum News.
The Titan IIIA expendable launch system, on its first test launch, failed to achieve orbit.
Knowing as early as the third inning that Baltimore and Chicago had already lost their games, the New York Yankees tonight further tightened the American League pennant race by defeating the Los Angeles Angels, 4–1. Al Downing’s six‐hit pitching and a four‐run rally in the sixth inning did the job before a crowd of 19,983 at Chavez Ravine. By registering their seventh victory in their last nine games, the Yankees moved to within two games of the first‐place Orioles, and within a game and a half of the White Sox. More to the point, their record shows only one more defeat than Baltimore, and one fewer than Chicago.
Mickey Lolich, a 23‐year‐old southpaw, held the Chicago White Sox hitless for six innings and hurled the Detroit Tigers to an 8–0 victory tonight. Lolich finished with a threehitter. Lolich didn’t yield a hit until Al Weis led off the seventh with a ground smash into left field. The Tigers had given Lolich all the support he needed. Don Wert cracked a three‐run homer off the starter, Ray Herbert, in the second inning after Dick Freehan and Dick McAuliffe had singled, and Jerry Lumpe was credited with a fluke two‐run inside‐the‐park homer in the fifth inning.
The Cleveland Indians gained their 10th victory in 11 games tonight when Sam McDowell and Don McMahon teamed to defeat the Washington Senators, 3–0. The Tribe hurlers scattered six hits and didn’t allow a Washington runner to reach third. After four scoreless innings, Vic Davalillo hit a home run in the fifth off Frank Kreutzer. Another Cleveland run followed when Woody Held walked, took second on a sacrifice and scored on Chico Salmon’s double. McMahon came to the aid of McDowell when the Senators put men on first and second with one out in the seventh. He halted that threat.
The Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics tonight, 3–2, on a seventh‐inning homer by Lee Thomas and three innings of scoreless relief pitching by Dick Radatz.
Two home runs by Harmon Killebrew and clutch relief pitching by Al Worthington gave the Minnesota Twins a 2–1 victory, over the Baltimore Orioles tonight. Killebrew’s drives, his 43d and 44th of the season, rubbed out a 1–0 Oriole lead built in the first inning on an error, a wild pitch and Brooks Robinson’s double.
Al Jackson of the New York Mets upended the San Francisco Giants, 4–1, in a rip‐roaring battle before 39,379 persons the game included everything from a throwing error by the redoubtable Willie Mays to the appearance of the first Japanese player in the major leagues. Southpaw relief pitcher Masanori Murakami becomes the first Major League player from Japan. His first 11 innings will be scoreless ones. Murakami became the first Japanese player to appear in an American major league baseball game, coming to the mound during the 8th inning as a relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants in their game at Shea Stadium against the New York Mets. During his brief first appearance, “Mashi” Murkami, formerly of the Nankai Hawks of Japan’s Pacific League, struck out two players and allowed one single in his team’s 4-1 loss to the Mets. After he proved to be a successful player during the remainder of the season, the Nankai Hawks would demand to have him back; ultimately, the Giants and the Hawks would agree that Murakami could play the full 1965 National League season and then would have to return to Japan.
Willie Stargell’s home run snapped a 2‐2 tie in the seventh inning and Bob Bailey followed moments later with a bases‐filled single for two runs that gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 5‐2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Stargell’s homer, his 18th of the year, was hit into the right field seats with one out off Phil Ortega. Ortega had yielded just two hits before that — two doubles that scored two Pirate runs in the third. Bill Mazeroski’s single and Jim Pagliaroni’s double knocked out Ortega and brought in Bob Miller, who walked Dick Schofield and struck out Bob Friend before Bailey singled.
The Philadelphia Phillies top the Houston Colts 4–3 on 3 solo home runs in the 7th inning. John Callison, Wes Covington, and Frank Thomas supply the power. Richie Allen adds an inside-the-park homer in the 8th. Jim Bunning, Philadelphia right‐hander who brought his won‐lost record to 15–4 with his sixth straight victory, was locked in a scoreless duel with Hal (Skinny) Brown for six innings.
The St. Louis Cardinals move past the faltering Giants into 3rd place with a 5–4 win over the Milwaukee Braves. Former Brave, now Cardinals utility catcher, Bob Uecker hits his first home run of the year, then singles in the winning run in the 9th to win it for the Birds. Ken Boyer hit his 18th in the third with Dick Groat on base. St. Louis is 7½ in back of the first-place Phils.
At Crosley Field, Jim Maloney strikes out 13 Cubs in the Cincinnati Reds 2–1 win over Chicago. Maloney held the Cubs to three hits. Ernie Broglio struck out the first two Reds he faced, but Vada Pinson singled to right and scored when Billy Williams fumbled Frank Robinson’s line drive. The Cubs tied the score in the fourth when Jim Stewart led off with a double and scored on Williams’s single to right. But the Reds went ahead again in their half of the inning when Broglio walked two batters and Leo Cardenas singled in a run.
