Crisis and political shifts in South Vietnam and Africa
A broad report details military clashes with the Viet Cong in South Vietnam, Buddhist dissidents in Hue and Da Nang, and U.S. evacuation of civilians. It notes Premier Ky’s push against Lt. Gen. Thi, a volatile political feud, and hints of North Vietnamese buildup in Cambodia. The piece covers U.S. casualties, a Gen. Larsen warning, and Johnson’s Africa policy stance. It also notes Florida politics with Mayor High’s runoff, and a Birthday toast to James Farley with 78 candles.
