Morale Factor B52 Bombers Role In War Stepped Up
In Saigon AP reports the Strategic Air Command will increase the B52 bomber role in Vietnam. Two more strikes over the weekend bring total to 14. Officials expect about one strike daily soon, though schedules may vary to confuse the Viet Cong. U.S. officers cite B52s as filling a unique air war role, with some observers skeptical. Strikes have often targeted the D Zone north of Saigon, where helicopter movement is limited and ground troops face constraints. Photographs show Viet Cong installations damaged and some cadres killed by B52 bombs.

Spending and saving patterns shift with higher living costs
Ameri cans change spending and saving due to rising living costs and incomes. Many plan more buying in coming months while expecting higher incomes to stay solvent. Some of the boost in spending seen in retail sales stems from less savings than thought, about 8 billion dollars previously listed as saved being spent instead. The July consumer price index rose lightly, aided by tax cuts. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes the index at 110.2 percent of the 1957-59 base.
