In Saigon reports state the Viet Cong have virtually knocked out South Viet Nam's land transport. Heavy protruding rails and buried sections block the main north south artery, with mounds of dirt and trenches hindering routes. Bridges blown, trees felled, and rail lines damaged disrupt commerce and force inland cities to rely on air or guarded convoys. Observers note a strategic shift from prior Communist policy and question the timing of the disruption.
