Col. Gains Hawkins, who was in
charge of estimating enemy strength
for Westmoreland's staff in Vietnam,
was interviewed on CBS' 1982
Ip documentary, "The Uncounted
Enemy: A Vietnam Deception," which
is the basis of the general's suit.
Many of the network's other
witnesses have testified they believed
Westmoreland imposed a ceiling on
estimates of enemy strength, though
they did not have first-hand
knowledge.
ON THE BROADCAST, Hawkins
said Westmoreland's staff, which

argued for months with the CIA over
what the enemy strength estimate
should be, had gotten the message that
"we can't live with a number higher
than a certain level."
CBS has already called more than a
dozen witnesses to back its contention
that Westmoreland distorted the truth
about Vietnamese Communist strength
in order to maintain political support
for the war.
But Hawkins is the only defense
witness who was highly placed in
Westmoreland's command in the fall
of 1967 when the final figures were being
thrashed out for a report to President
Lyndon Johnson and other policy
makers.
Westmoreland, 70, was America's
commander in Vietnam from 1964 until
1968.

Dr. KEG O'NAI
ify for CBS
THE BROADCAST charged that
Westmoreland, for political reasons,
refused to accept any enemy strength
estimate higher than 300,000 despite
persuasive evidence in late 1967 that
the true figure was higher than
500,000. As a result, said CBS,
Johnson and the American nublic were
taken by surprise when the communists
launched the powerful Tet offensive
in early 1968.
The general maintains that no information
was suppressed and that CBS
distorted an honest dispute among intelligence
analysts to make it appear he
had misled his superiors. The broadcast,
he says, falsely besmirched a
40-year military career.
Hawkins, scheduled to begin testifying
late today or tomorrow was
Westmoreland's "order of battle"
chief.

Holiday Inn to curb
parking for students
By Wendy Eden
Students who park their cars in the Holiday Inn-City
Center parking lot may not find them when they go back.

JU I\ tc JUI1I15U11, UIICCIUI Ul ui llIC IIUIC1, iu int
Holiday Inn is now towing cars from the lot that do not.
belong to registered guests.
Johnson said students have been intermittently parking
in the hotel's above- and below-ground parking area at
Assembly and Blossom streets for the past 18 years.
During the past five years, however, the problem has
persisted to the point that several general managers
sporadically towed cars away without warnings.
"Our parking spaces are limited and exclusively for our
guests," said Johnson, who hopes this warning will curb
students from parking in the hotel's reserved area and having
to pay towing expenses.
"We don't have to warn, but we are," Johnson said.
