Jets Finish Razing Haiphong Power Site
SAIGON United States planes pounded the Haiphong area before a Christmas truce as the Yong Bi power plant was destroyed. A U.S. spokesman said six crewmen were feared killed or captured and three planes were shot down, while air strikes hit a missile base and Nzai Lo airfield. Ground fighting rose near the truce, with Viet Cong losses reported between 310 and 350 and U.S. and South Vietnamese casualties light. A lone U.S. Special Forces patrol in Quang Tri defeated a Viet Cong battalion, with 23 killed and equipment seized. The Uong Bi facility supplied about 15 percent of North Vietnam's power and the area has endured five prior attacks.

They cite Lt Gen Hershey’s remark on reclassifying demonstrators to 1A and question the legality of such actions. The missive, led by Herman Schwartz of SUNY Buffalo, was redirected after a previous version was lost in White House mail rooms.
