Taylor's Farewell:· Pleasure and Sadness
By Beverly Deepe
A Special Correspondent
SAIGON.
Ambassador Maxwell D.
Taylor bade farewell in Saigon
yesterday, but his message of
the day was one of welcometo 3,700 paratroopers of the
101st "Screaming Eagles" Airborne Division, including his
son, Capt. Thomas Happer
Taylor, 31, a member of the
division.
The ambassador's particular
"pleasure and soane sadness"
in his welcome was because of
his association with the division. The last time a Screaming Eagle faced an enemy bullet was just over 20 years ago
when with Gen. Taylor in
command, the 101st began the
conquest of Normandw. ~Later,
it took part in the bloody defense ,of Bastogne.
"The 101st will write new
pages in the history of this
war," said the Ambassador, "a
new war, a new kind of war.
"You will meet an enemy
who is shrewd and welltrained and has the guile of
the North merican Indian. In
the 'Clays ahead, if the Viet
Cong should prove a formidable enemy, you can always rember our days at
Bastogne."
AMeanwhile, it wa•s announced yesterday that the
arrival of the nearly 4,000
members of the 101st is not a
part of the build-up cited by
President Johnson in his
Wednesday address to the nation. In addition to the 75,000 troops currently in Viet
Nam, together with the President's planned addition of
50,000 and the newly arrived
101st, U. S. strength will total
129,000.
Ambassador Taylor will depart from Saigon today, "but
not all the Taylor will be leaving Viet Nam," he said. His
son, who arrived three weeks
ago with an advance element,
is a member of the division
intelligence staff.
Yesterday the Ambassador
said goodby to the Saigon diplomatic corps and members
of the American community
prior to the arrival of Henry
Cabot Lodge for his second
tour of duty. A few observers
recalled one of the speeches
Gen. Taylor made shortly
after arriving here one year
and three weeks ago.
He mentioned having read
newspaper reports that Sen.
Robert Kennedy, Defense Secretary Robert McNa.mara and
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
had volunteered for the tough
assignment as ambassador.
"But I was chosen," he told
his audience. "I had that one
quality none of the others
possessed. I was expendable."
During 40 years In the
Army, Gen. Taylor had devoted his career to one objective: American victory in war.
In World War II and In Korea, he was to see the bitterest fighting. When he urged
the bombing of North Viet
Nam, he saw as the objective
forcing the Communists to
the conference table.
After Korea, Gen. Taylor
opposed sending American
troops to fight a ground war
1 nAsia. But since his arrival
in Viet Nam he has seen a
buildup from 23,000 fighting
men to more than three times
that number. Now, with President Johnson's announcement,
U. S. forces will be more than
five times the total when the
Ambassador
assumed
his
duties.
Long considered one of the
most politically astute of
American generals, Gen. Taylor resign deln the late fifties
in protest against America's
super-reliance on nuclear
power. His book, "The Uncertain Trumpet" was an attempt
to convince others-he did. BY
1961, President Kennedy appointed him military representative of the President and
a year later appointed him
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
But the increasing numben
of American ground troops
have yet to prove they can
defeat the guerrilla-subversive
in war.
on the political front, Gen.
Taylor consistently beseeched
Vietnamese statesmen, generals, bureaucrats and religious
leaders to unify their efforts
for political stability. But
instead there was a succession
of coups, counter-coups, falsecoups and demi-coups and
constant intrigue.
Part of the problem was
considered to be the widespread Communist penetration
within the national g·overnment, police, armed forces
student and religious group:
