Saigon reports say thirty American B52 bombers struck a Viet Cong base just south of the 17th parallel near the Ho Chi Minh Trail along with 75 more sorties against targets in North Vietnam. Navy forces hit the Vinh army barracks 140 miles south of Hanoi using 38 tons of bombs from Midway. A major search of Viet Cong areas south of Saigon yielded few casualties but uncovered trenches and a rice cache. Analysts foresee a new monsoon offensive as 125000 U S troops deploy and Viet Cong attacks near Saigon continue.

Ball says possible halt to bombing if Hanoi pledges to stop infiltration
Undersecretary of State George Ball said a halt to bombing could occur if North Vietnam publicly pledges to stop infiltrating men and supplies into South Vietnam. He noted two elements to North Vietnamese actions and suggested any pause would require conditions ensuring a stronger response. Ball said current targets do not require striking Soviet missile sites around Hanoi Haiphong, though the area is not a sanctuary and civilian casualties must be avoided.
