Financing of the structures will

SAIGON (II — Strongly rein

Saigon today, guarding Ameri

servicemen and five Asians and

into 4he early weeks of next year.
The administration has -been
sharply criticised by some mem-
bers of Congress who feel the fab-
ell ite and missiles programs have
not been pushed vigorously
enough.
Eisenhower’s plans to speak out
underscore his determination,
aides said, tp reiterate hit stated
belief that the free world-Cta otto
do the world of communism.
In doing so, the President wHT
be putting his personal prestigs
on the line in an effort to bolster
America’s confidence in the na-
tion’s military and domestic econ-
omy programs.
Without saying so in so malty
words, Eisenhower indicated he
intends to put great emphafei* on
the domestic economy — at this
time of slumping stock market
prices.
In his speech last night he said:
"We must cast aside any morbid
pessimism about the capacity of
our private enterprise system to
generate and maintain high levels
of employment, production and in-
comes.” ?
