Postwar planning in Saigon eyes rapid stabilization
Economists in Saigon coordinate a joint plan by Ministries of Economics, France and Planning and the National Bank with about 15 businessmen. Six committees tackle stabilization, human resources, credit, foreign trade and investment, reconstruction, and taxation as they pursue quick measures to avert bank runs, strikes, tax leakage, refugee and veteran employment issues, and rice shortages. A supercommittee will streamline procedures to speed aid and rice delivery, while authorities guard against North Vietnamese attempts to lure foreign aid and investment.

New Orleans Fire Cited As Example Of Need For Rules On Skyscrapers
The New Orleans blaze that killed four and trapped women on the 15th floor spurred calls for federal fire safety rules for skyscrapers. Commission head Bland said automatic suppression and mandatory fire safety systems are lacking nationwide and may require federal action if local standards fail. The Rank Center blaze and other incidents underscored the push, with a 20-member panel to report to President Nixon and Congress in July on reducing fire losses.

Violence Deepens as Belfast Killing Raises Toll to Six Forty Six
In Belfast a young Roman Catholic barman was killed by unknown gunmen amid three years of sectarian violence that has produced 646 deaths. In Dublin political leaders seek a compromise to avert a national election fought on IRA issue while the government pushes an anti-IRA bill amending the 1939 Offenses Against the State Act to boost convictions.
