Flow of war materiel from North Vietnam continues
U S intelligence reports indicate ongoing shipments of war materiel from North Vietnam into South Vietnam despite Nixon warnings. Estimates place 400 to 450 armored vehicles and over 1 100 trucks moving into South Vietnam within two months of the cease-fire, with some tanks traced to southern China. Officials question the effectiveness of international supervision and note evidence of ammunition and fuel being moved through the demilitarized zone.
