Heaviest Red Attacks Do Not Alter Nixon Timetable
Saigon AP. North Vietnamese troops unleashed their heaviest ground attacks in two months, about 12 hours before President Nixon warned a significant rise in enemy activity might push him to stretch the withdrawal timetable. U S and South Vietnamese reports cite at least 45 rocket and mortar strikes, infantry assaults on four bases north of Saigon, a night bivouac in the central highlands, and two positions in the southern central highlands. Allied commands say the enemy suffered heavy losses, with 180 killed.
