troop buildup which could reach 75,000 to 80,000 men in South Viet Nam in the next several months. McNamara called a midafternoon news conference without announcing a subject. The Viet Nam war, top U.S. concern at this time, was certain to form the center of the questioning. About 53,500 U.S.

The widely held view is that the Communists probably will go all out to punish the South Vietnamese army and inflict serious casualties on the Americans, in hopes this will sap South Vietnamese morale and the U.S. will to stick.

Those who hold this view also believe that if the summer offensive is blunted, and the Viet Cong are bloodied badly, North Viet Nam may at last be willing to negotiate. Thus, the ebb and flow of the fighting this summer may determine how fast the U.S. troop commitment grows, how big it I becomes, and to what extent U.S. soldiers and Marines take the field to battle the growing Communist forces.

GREEN SPRINGS Proposals to refund the present water revenue bonds over a period of.

the next 18 years was accepted at a special Tuesday meeting. of village council. Council estimated a savings of $7,000 to the village over this period by refunding the approximately 000 in water revenue bonds. The savings would come through change in interest' rate from per cent to per cent and a change in the annual trustee fees from $330 to $100. The proposal accepted by council was submitted by Gordon Reis of the Cincinnati investment firm of Seasongood and Mayer.

Ordinances for the process of refunding the bonds are to be presented to council at one of its meetings in the near future. The finance committee and board of public affairs met Saturday afternoon and discussed the Seasongood and Mayer proposal and one by Magnuson company, also of Cincinnati. Previously the council and board had studied four other proposals. After receiving the present two the village officials were faced with the choice of saving $7,000 and having more money for sewer improvement project, or saving $10,000 with less available for sewers. The amount that had to be paid annually in greater savings proposals depleted that available for sewer projects.

Council finance committee and the board, feeling the sewer improvements had to be done, decided to recommend more money toward the project. Another choice faced in selecting a refunding proposal was the rate of interest for refunding bonds. In contrast to the per cent in the Seasongood and Mayer proposal, the Magnuson offer was four per cent until 1976 and per cent thereafter. It was felt the lower rate of interest will have some bearing on the rate of interested on any needed sewer bonds. The refunding of the bonds and acoumulation of a sewer project fund will necessitate change in the rate structure for' the village.

The total amount of billing will be the same but more of the money will go to sewers. Ordinances for this change are also to be submitted at a future council meeting. The change will reduce the water rates 20 per cent, but increase sewer charges from 20 per cent to 50 per cent of the water bill. The two rate changes will balance each other. semester at Ohio university.
