Attacks Over Rice Crop Signal Vietnam War Struggle
U S intelligence says Communist efforts in South Vietnam focus on seizing the rice harvest and denying markets to Saigon controlled towns. North Vietnamese and Viet Cong units are told to clear defensive lines, while political officers push anti Thieu propaganda. U S considers counteraction if a major offensive emerges. Defense officials note air power kept in reserve and Congress would need approval to deploy it again. Reports also say North Vietnam is expanding the Khe Sanh airfield and solidifying control of the northern South. Two human-interest items note Rev Billy Graham turning 55 with daily jogs near St Louis Gateway Arch and London teacher Percy Dunlop starting his 68th year at Star Lane School.
