U.S. planes attack Communists in Cambodia ending pause
The Pentagon confirmed U S warplanes resumed air strikes in Cambodia at the Cambodian government’s request after a 10 day pause. Assistant Defense Secretary Friedheim said planes will be intermittent and only with explicit Lon Nol approval. Concurrent Laos raids average 280 daily as U S planes support Laotian forces against major NVA and Pathet Lao actions. One EC47 electronic surveillance plane was reported missing after a crash in southern Laos with undisclosed crew size. The Vietnam cease fire does not stop fighting in Laos and Cambodia.

Britain and France recognize East Germany ahead of US
Britain and France extended full diplomatic recognition to Communist East Germany, moving the country toward wider world acceptance. Japan said it would negotiate recognition next month in Moscow, with talks led by ambassadors to the Soviet Union.
