Navy mutiny in Saigon sparks coup alert and embassy bomb plot
In Saigon, junior naval officers held a brief internal clash against Rear Adm. Chung Tan Cang and faced charges of malfeasance as a coup alert was declared. Military officials downplayed the affair as internal and non urgent while Marines and US air power pressed operations against Viet Cong forces northwest of the capital. Separately, a Viet Cong threat to execute an embassy bomber and a US hostage case added to the tense security scene.

Hoff Tax Measures Get Little Support
In Montpelier Gov. Philip Hoff proposes raising liquor and beer taxes with little public backing. A 50 cent per gallon liquor hike would lift revenue by about $500,000 annually, while a 25 cent beer and light wine increase targets roughly $375,000 more yearly. Opponents from brewing and retail groups argue higher taxes push sales to nearby states.

He sketches a potential billion-dollar Southeast Asia aid program and supports Thant leading economic cooperation talks as a peace screen. The U S will keep military pressure in Vietnam and invite Communist responsiveness, with UN, Hanoi, Peking, and possibly the Soviet Union shaping the next move.
