SAIGON AP Fifty monster rockets near the capital alarmed officials as a South Vietnamese spokesman announced the first capture of 240mm rockets. An American adviser said they could raise hell in Saigon, describing the stockpile as among the war’s largest. The rockets, much larger and more powerful than standard Viet Cong missiles, were not mass produced like Moscow parade items. Military spokesmen said the discovery marked a major intelligence find and raised concerns over enemy capabilities.
