He identified "the other no "the North Vietnamese

Rusk said the United States is “going to use and insist upon using international waters."

The three unidentified PT boats attacked the US Navy destroyer Maddox off the coast of Communist North Viet Nam Sunday. The Maddox and four carrier planes returned the fire.

ADVISERS CALLED I-N

President Johnson called in rhiglvlevel diplomatic and mil- itary advisers presumably to discuss the incident.

A spokesman said the de- stroyer was not damaged and none of her 2'74 enlisted men and officers was hurt. The Mad- dox is flagship of the U5. 7th fleet's destroyer Division 192.

Time of the attack was given .00 am. .
