War planners weigh intensified bombing in Vietnam
Gen Curtis LeMay urges crippling Haiphong port and oil supply to halt North Vietnam transport while Gen Thomas Power favors staged attacks with pauses for peace talks. Civilian leaders resist escalation due to risk of direct Chinese involvement. Bombing has halted daylight travel, damaged about 60 bridges, and driven up American casualties toward 2000. Army engineers expand Cam Ranh Bay base to support up to 600,000 troops. Da Nang and Viet Nam construction surge.

State bids on elevator service for five buildings
The Department plans separate maintenance contracts for elevator service in five state buildings totaling 30 000 to 35 000 dollars annually. Trammell defended the bid plan saying it aligns with the administration’s policy of competitive bidding and savings to taxpayers, joking that he stands charged with doing state business on a competitive bid basis.
