Progress Seen in Paris Peace Talks amid North Vietnam Infiltration
Defense Secretary Clark Clifford said there is some movement in stalled Paris talks with North Vietnam and that both sides aim to resolve the conflict. He noted North Vietnam is infiltrating about 29,000 men into South Vietnam in May, with 25,000 replacements. He warned casualties rise on both sides and predicted monthly infiltration of about 20,000 in the coming months. Clifford expressed cautious optimism for private negotiations while questioning the value of formal sessions. He also queried reports of North Vietnamese helicopters in the DMZ and said US troop levels near 550,000 remain unchanged. He projected a South Vietnamese army of about one million by year’s end and kept hope for Pueblo negotiations with North Korea.

The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered an investigation into proposed railroad freight rate increases of 3 to 10 percent and suspended them for seven months while reviewing the plan.
