Attack on Thai base risks U.S. air surveillance links
Communist guerrillas reportedly attacked Nakhon Phanom in Thailand where U S Air Force technicians operate an electronic surveillance center monitoring Ho Chi Minh Trail traffic via southern Laos. The incident follows rising Thai Communist pressure after the Indochina war and prompts concern among U S intelligence about threats to about 48 000 American airmen and other personnel stationed at seven Thai bases. Unemployment fell to 5.2 percent in November, with 4.2 million unemployed and weekly earnings slipping to 138 01, while average hourly pay held at 3 78.
