Peace commission to hear Viet Cong ceasefire violations
The four nation International Commission of Control and Supervision met in Saigon to review Viet Cong charges of U S air attacks in South Vietnam as a ceasefire violation. U S officials denied the claims and Vietnamese reports of 50 000 North Vietnamese troops, 400 tanks, and 300 artillery pieces entering the South were noted. An attack on the commission's Ben Cat field HQ damaged the building but caused no casualties. The commission plans an investigation into who fired on the HQ as Viet Cong notes accused U S planes of bombing along the Cambodian border. The U S Embassy in Saigon and Pacific Command denied the charges, with a spokesman saying no bombing in South Vietnam is policy.
