State Dept Defends Invasion of DMZ
The State Department defended the Marines intrusion into the Vietnam DMZ as defensive and legal within South Vietnam. Spokesman Robert J. McCloskey said the operation targeted North Vietnamese buildup and would not cross the Ben Hai River dividing line, stressing it did not constitute an invasion of North Vietnam and would last only as long as necessary. The move preceded a fresh ceasefire pause tied to Buddha’s birthday observances and amid differing Viet Cong proposals.

France Grants Asylum To U.S. Army Deserter
Paris authorities will grant Louis Armfield, a 20 year old U.S. Army deserter from New Haven Connecticut, a renewable temporary residence permit after he finishes a 10 day jail term for vagrancy. Armfield deserted in Germany last December and sought refuge with left bank beatniks in Paris after traveling through the Netherlands. He said he does not approve of the Vietnam War. Legal defense argued against labeling him vagrant, noting support from French figures and an embassy remark that the U.S. did not request extradition.
