New Crisis Cuts Into War Effort in Saigon and Da Nang
In Saigon Buddhist leaders demand withdrawal of troops from Da Nang where fighting left eight killed and 52 wounded amid a tense standoff. Viet Cong attacks hit four police points near the capital as a general strike disrupts transport and threatens power and water supplies. U.S. urged restraint to prevent civil war while Ky fires a northern commander over troop movements. Separately, Mrs. Leola Howard Blanchard is alive and active in Denver, identified as Colorado regent of the Colorado Daughters of American Colonists.
