GI Stake-Out Bags 16 Reds By GEORGE ESPER
An American patrol clashed with 50 to 70 North Vietnamese infiltrators near the Cambodian border just before the allied New Year cease-fire ended. The U.S. Command said 16 enemy soldiers were killed as helicopter gunships and artillery supported the action. The fight occurred less than two hours after the truce ended and lasted four hours in marshes and rice paddies about 42 miles northwest of Saigon with no American casualties. B52 bombers resumed raids in South Vietnam, hitting a Cambodian border staging area. Agnew, touring Formosa after the 24 hour visit, voiced optimism that peace is near.
