Military leaders push Viet strip of death plan in Saigon
In Saigon and Washington sources say U S leaders urge Pentagon approval of a 43 mile barrier across Vietnam from Laos to the South China Sea to choke off crossing troops. A Berlin Wall style system is proposed with mines sensors and air strikes to deter infiltration along the DMZ despite diplomatic hurdles. Marine battalions currently guard the DMZ with Laos border extension aimed to reduce forces. Warplanes would patrol and strike moving targets.

Vietnamese official fired over political bias in Mekong Delta
Major Nguyen Van Xanh, deputy province chief for security in Long an, was removed after 18 months for reportedly not backing the civilian presidential ticket. He handled intelligence, ordered arrests of hundreds of Viet Cong suspects, and led provincial security and presidential election protection in Long An. An American official quoted says he belonged to the Dal Viet party and faced political pressure over his loyalties. From the Vietnam era context, the piece also touches on U.S. political chatter about Johnson and Romney, including Romney's criticism of the Johnson administration’s civil rights and Vietnam policies and his remarks at a Midwest Governors Conference.

Sociological president advocates Negroes form a second Israel
Charles P. Loomis of Michigan State University argues at the American Sociological Association meeting that Black power advocates should be allowed to create an all Negro community in the Andes region of South America. He proposes Ecuador, Peru or Bolivia as sites where refugees could build a model society similar to Israel with U.S. government help and capital flow. The remark contrasts US civil rights frustration with the idea of a distant, self governed enclave.

If a street inquiry comes via patrol car or officer, relayed to a dispatcher and then to the computer, the street would get a response in about 90 seconds.
