Balloon may break endurance record in Australia
Two RAAF balloonists Flight Lieutenant Lee Jones and Flying Officer Peter Dickens launched from Pearce air base aiming to set an endurance record near 944 hours aloft and possibly cross Australia in the Spirit of the West. Despite strong conditions, officials doubt they will beat the world distance mark of 4,697 miles as wind and weight issues limit flight time to about six days.

Saigon to assume full city defence from US troops
US sources say South Vietnam plans a major move toward Vietcon installation of ARVN forces to defend Saigon by year end. The handover would replace most American combat troops in Saigon's CMD with ARVN units while the US provides artillery and radar support.
