US Infantry Rushed To Rolling Foothills In Vietnam
US forces fought a major engagement near Da Nang as two battered companies from the 196th Light Infantry Brigade tried to break encirclement. About 1,200 North Vietnamese attacked, with heavy airstrikes and artillery responding. Casualties were high on both sides, with helicopter evacuations hampered by enemy fire and reinforcements sent in under fire. The clash coincided with Vietnamese revolutionary anniversaries and broader patrols yielded further Hanoi casualties.

Scientists Aim to Freeze Debbie Storm Theories
Scientists test Project Stormfury by spraying silver iodide over Debbie to disrupt its structure. A fleet of Air Force and Navy planes flew 200 scientists into the South Atlantic storm, dropping crystals for ten hours to encourage ice formation around the eye. If successful, the method could yield a weapon against hurricanes born in warm Atlantic and Caribbean waters. Debbie moved northwest at about 10 mph, about 680 miles ENE of San Juan and 1,500 miles ESE of Miami at 6 a.m. EDT.
