North Vietnamese threat grows around Duc Lap and Bu Prang
In the Vietnam theater 62 miles north northwest of Saigon the fight around Ben Het ended in June as North Vietnamese withdrew. Intelligence notes two regiments and an artillery battalion moved through Cambodia toward the central highlands and pressed Duc Lap and Bu Prang, 25 miles south, with artillery from across the frontier. American artillerymen and montagnard mercenaries beat back assaults as bases south of Bu Prang were abandoned, leaving the area more exposed to a broader North Vietnamese move. News photos note fears Ban Me Thuot could face a larger attack.

FCC approves an eight per cent interstate return target for AT&T amid a broad rate reduction.

The rate change, the eighth in ten years, is expected to save customers about one billion dollars annually, with long distance revenues reduced by about 150 million dollars.

Kidnaping and murder linked to Brazil violence noted
Police said the ransom payment was found but did not reveal where or when to leave more money. The victim’s father reported a ransom drop near the city airport and earlier in a Sao Paulo cemetery, but the kidnappers did not claim it. The case remains untethered to recent U.S. threats, though Americans have been targeted. Captain Chandler of Arcadia was killed in Sao Paulo on Oct. 12, 1968, by revolutionaries. The capture of Carlos Marighela was cited as linked to Elbrick’s kidnapping. U.S. consular officials report death threats to staff and families in Sao Paulo and Brasilia.
