AF Borrows Bombs to Fight War in Vietnam
Air Force borrowed more than 400000 bombs from Navy for its Vietnam air strikes, with most diverted before this year. Navy inventories supplied 500 and 250 pound bombs, yielding an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 tons of ammunition. Officials note heavy strikes target Viet Cong weakness in food supplies as 7500 tons of rice and 400 tons of salt were captured since January. Bids on four vocational technical schools in Arkansas were approved for over 1 million dollars, bringing the state's centers to ten.
