Vietnam Action Is On Upswing
In the past 24 hours fighting in South Vietnam rose to its highest pitch since a two month lull. U S officers reported 147 enemy troops and 31 allied deaths plus 164 American and 51 South Vietnamese wounded, with action spanning from the DMZ to Saigon. The surge may reflect sweeps rather than a major enemy drive, and Saigon announced a military command shakeup with 12 transfers or promotions to bolster leadership. Eight women and 16 men were convicted in Saigon for roles in assassination plots against Premier Tran Van Huong and Maj. Gen. Nguyen Van Kiem, receiving varied sentences.
