Viet Nam War Lull Stretches Across Most Fronts
In South Viet Nam small skirmishes flare yet the war mostly sits in a lull. Monsoon storms cut U S air strikes on North Viet Nam while the Manila summit unfolds. A Viet Cong mine kills 15 and wounds 20 civilians near Hue as mortar exchanges hit central highlands and Da Nang area. U S troops report light casualties though hundreds of enemy troops are claimed dead in scattered clashes as air operations shrink under rain. Leaflet drops urge defectors as B 52 strikes target south west of Hue.

Government Financing Of Campaigns Approved
Congressional approval of a plan for government financing of presidential campaigns may be the first step toward overhauling the nation’s campaign spending laws. The plan would divert $1 of each tax payment to a fund from which parties could draw up to $30 million in 1968 for campaign expenses. Senator Russell Long pushes the idea, with potential expansion to state and local races. Critics warn it could reduce debate and raise party salaries while easing fundraising pressure on incumbents. The same bill could prompt a broader study of federal spending limits and a proposed federal elections commission to regulate spending.
