Trawler Seen Red B52 Warning
A Russian trawler three miles off Guam’s Apra Harbor has allegedly aided Viet Cong in South Vietnam by providing early warnings of B52 raids. Pacific forces declined to comment. With radar gear and position near Anderson Air Force Base, the trawler could alert about three and a half hours before raids. B52 missions have rarely killed Viet Cong troops, as raids target staging sites later found abandoned by ground checks.

The four antispoll tax suits by the federal government may be resolved by a Virginia private suit. If the Supreme Court rules the tax violates equal protection, the tax could be struck down in Virginia and potentially in Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas. If rejected, the DOJ suits could still succeed under the 15th Amendment. The DOJ cites racial disparities in registration rates as supporting discrimination.

Soviets say Viet Nam no bar to disarmament deals
Soviet disarmament envoy Tsarapkin said Moscow would sign a comprehensive nuclear test ban immediately if the United States drops on-site inspection demands and would also sign a nuclear nonproliferation treaty if the West halts NATO nuclear plans. He stressed Viet Nam settlement is not a precondition, warning against tying talks to the war. He noted U S troops in Viet Nam block progress, and China seeks to sway neutral nations with a whispering campaign at Geneva.
