Lull in Vietnam Fighting As 9th Marines Embark for Okinawa

Saigon reports scattered clashes with enemy forces northwest of the city as 52 Viet Cong are killed in two days near Black Virgin mountain. The 2,800 Marines of the 9th Regiment depart Da Nang as part of a larger withdrawal of 25,000 U.S. troops by August. Additional units from the 9th Infantry Division and the 660th Medical Detachment also depart. No U.S. casualties are recorded in the latest engagements, while Marine sweeps south of Da Nang yield 21 enemy deaths and seven American wounded. The lull, not proven a de escalation, may reflect a pause before renewed action with enemy buildup spotted near Tay Ninh and Binh Long.
