he flew back to Manila.
The fire broke out shortly aft-
er dawn in a locker containing
flares used for night illumina-
tion and rescue work.
The flames erupted on the
hangar deck, just below the
flight deck, and then spread
rapidly to envelope five decks,
the Navy said.
Two helicopters were de-
stroyed by the blaze and an un-
disclosed number of A4E Sky-
hawk jet fighter-bombers were
damaged.
The Navy also reported exten-
sive damages to ceilings and
bulkheads of the 42,000-ton car-
rier, in the Gulf of Tonkin with
two other U.S. carriers to
launch strikes against North
Viet Nam.

An official investigation of the
cause of the blaze was opened
immediately, the Navy an-
nounced.
The fire broke out about 7:45
a.m. and was brought under
control three hours later, but
small flash fires continued to
erupt in various places for sev-
eral hours more. A

spokesman said these were
quickly extinguished.
The fire spread to the forward
officers quarters and the cata-
pult areas from where planes
are launched. It also destroyed
some of the ship’s electrical cir-
cuits and the forward plane ele-
vator.
A spokesman said that quick
action by fire-fighting crews
prevented rockets, bombs and
fuses from detonating.
Within minutes after the fire
started, the Navy said, the for-
ward interior portion of the car-
rier was enveloped with intense
smoke, making evacuation of
the injured difficult.
Some officers were trapped in
their quarters by flash fires.
Several were brought to safety
by search personnel.
The Navy said quick action by
plane crews in moving aircraft
from the catapult and forward
areas of the flight deck and
from the burning hangar deck
prevented even greater loss.
The carrier Constellation
came up to help and sent
doctors, hospital corpsmen and
chaplains aboard the Oriskany.
The seriously injured were
transferred to the Constellation.

Viet Nam Visit
By GEORGE MCARTHUR
MANILA (AP) — President
Johnson flew to South Viet Nam
today for a surprise 90-minute
visit to U.S. forces at the big
new Cam Ranh Bay base 180
miles northeast of Saigon.
South Viet Nam’s chief of
state, Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu,
announced Johnson’s visit to
newsmen in Saigon. Thieu and
Premier Nguyen Cao Ky had
stopped at Cam Ranh on their
way home from the Manila
summit conference to be there
during Johnson’s visit.
After his brief look at the big
port and logistic base which
American forces are building
on South Viet Nam’s coast, the
President took off to return to
Manila.
The President went to Cam
Ranh Bay, a well-guarded U.S.-
Controlled base on the Viet Nam
coast where he was cheered by
U.S. soldiers and pilots. Secre-
tary of State Dean Rusk accom-
panied him.
Awaiting them at the base,
180 miles northeast of Saigon,
were South Viet Nam’s chief of
state, Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu,
and Premier Nguyen Cao Ky,
who had arrived a short time
before from the Manila summit
conference.
The trip was shrouded in ut-

Afterward, Johnson toured the

Chief of State Thieu welcomed
Johnson to the base. He told
reporters later in Saigon that he
had invited the President to vis-
