Blackout Lifted on Push in Northwest Vietnam War
The Saigon commanding center lifts a six day blackout and reports 20,000 Saigon troops engaged in a major operation in the northwest region. About 9,000 American forces sweep Jungles in the north while 20,000 South Vietnamese troops cross into Cambodia. Overall ground forces total near 50,000 with U S air support and bombers hitting North Vietnamese supply lines through Laos. Premier Souvanna Phouma in Vientiane says he has no information about further Vietnamese movements into Laos.
