A second man described as light remains at large. Nearby, Marine and Vietnamese troops reported several combat casualties in separate clashes.

New Provisions Added To Tax Reform Bill
The Senate Finance Committee backs a tax reform revision setting an January 1 effective date that would deny tax deductions for public papers donated by officials like Lyndon B. Johnson and Hubert H. Humphrey. The House favors July 25 1969. Proposals limit deductions for antitrust penalties to one third of treble damages and bar write offs for bribes and other penalties. Public papers gift deductions would end under current rules.

Barry Urges Resumption of Bombing
Senator Barry Goldwater urged resuming American bombing of North Vietnam on November 1 if Paris peace talks fail. Speaking at a California fundraiser, he said Hanoi must choose now, calling antiwar protesters rag-tag and claiming they aim to undermine the American way of life. He criticized the war moratorium as encouragement to Hanoi since bombing paused a year earlier.
