Won't Pull Punches in South Viet
AP reports President Johnson halted all American air, naval, and artillery bombing of North Vietnam by Thursday night with no immediate expansion into South Vietnam. In the 12 hours before the pause, an enemy mine damaged a U.S. LST, killing 16 sailors and a South Vietnamese, while rocket strikes killed 33 civilians in Saigon and Hue. North Vietnamese and U.S. casualties rose north of Saigon near the Cambodian border as raids on the southern panhandle continued before the sky quieted north of the DMZ by Johnsons deadline.

Stock Market Reaction To Vietnam Bombing Halt
Wall Street gave a mild initial lift to President Johnson's bombing halt on Vietnam, but late trading erased gains as the Dow fell over six points. Early volume was heavy on the NYSE, with 4.56 million shares traded, below the prior day. Analysts said the pause was anticipated and not a real breakthrough, though peace would likely be bullish for markets. World markets mirrored the cautious tone, with gold and silver down and Tokyo and Sydney indices rallying later.
