Thieu Warns of Political Warfare With Communists
Thieu says a new period of political warfare with the Communists is ahead and more dangerous than the military phase. U S B 52 bombers mounted heavy raids near the Cambodian frontier northwest of Saigon, dropping about 2000 tons of bombs near an enemy headquarters across the border. Allied reports note small battles punctuating a lull, nine enemy shellings overnight, and efforts to weaken Saigon’s rural authority. Thieu criticizes political disorganization as key to decades of defense and defeat. A potential Viet Cong political role is discussed if armed resistance ends, while Tran Van Huong’s premiership stabilizes the regime amid earlier Viet Cong attempts to assassinate an education minister.
