A soldier detached a bomb from a window screen before detonation. another briefcase bomb was found and disarmed. In northern South Vietnam 7,000 U.S. and allied troops pressed into the A Shau Valley to disrupt a Communist buildup near Da Nang Hue and Quang Tri, with Marines repelling a counterattack and 12 enemies killed. Elsewhere U.S. helicopter gunships killed 59 guerrillas in the Mekong Delta as Viet Cong convoys were hit.
