McNamara outlines anti infiltration barrier in Vietnam
Secretary McNamara details plans for a wide barrier across South Vietnam to hinder Viet Cong infiltration. He says the system will use barbed wire and sensors, may stretch over 40 miles, and could include infrared devices. The effort aims to supplement the air campaign while preserving manpower for South Vietnam. The plan includes a new Army division at Fort Campbell and shifts some duties to civilians.

Biosatellite 2 aims for 46th orbit return after three hour delay
Space craft delays push Biosatellite 2 to return on its 46th orbit instead of the planned 47th. The launch setback trims about 7 percent from expected scientific data as growth studies of wheat, pepper plants, and other specimens were timed for a 2 p.m. liftoff. The 955-pound biology lab will be recovered after retro-rocket deployment over the Pacific near Hawaii by aircraft and recovery ships.
