Pueblo Crisis Bloodless Settlement Sought
Nearly 14 800 air reservists prepared to muster for indefinite active duty as the United States pursued a bloodless settlement of the Pueblo crisis. President Johnson sought diplomacy to gain release of the Pueblo crew and 83 Americans, while Moscow appeared wary of mediation. The United Nations Security Council planned an urgent session to address what Goldberg called a grave threat to peace. North Korea vowed retaliation and warned the Pueblo crew must be punished, signaling a tense stand as Washington weighs military options amid Vietnam strains.

Marines Escape North Vietnam Captivity Barefoot To Safety
Two U.S. Marines Cpl Steven Nelson 18 of Elkhart Indiana and Lance Cpl Michael RoRn 20 of National City California escaped North Vietnamese captivity after two weeks. They crawled through a jungle to reach Marine positions near Da Nang on Tuesday two days after their escape. They were captured during a Jan 7 attack on a Marine outpost in Chua Luu about 17 miles northwest of Da Nang. Both endured a barefoot trek through rough terrain and were aided by sandals and basic care before returning to U.S. duty. Nelson's family had been informed he was killed before the mistaken identification was corrected.
