Reinforcements Reported For Gen Kong Le
Reports say Kong Le's neutralist army received 900 troops to rejoin southwest of the Plaine des Jarres after breaking through Communist lines. He was reportedly in good spirits near Muong Phanh, 110 miles northeast of Vientiane, with remnants from four battalions totaling about 1,698 men.

Laos Flights May Be Only First U.S. Move
U S jet reconnaissance flights over Laos may mark the first in a series of moves enlarging American military actions in Southeast Asia. Officials warn that broader actions including strikes on North Vietnam and more air and sea power could follow if the Laos crisis worsens. A Navy carrier squadron has left the Indian Ocean to join the 7th Fleet, signaling intensified Far East military posture. The State Department says the Lao government requested the reconnaissance and the mission is in response to Communist advances and to pressure from international mediators.
