North Vietnamese push in Dak To region and near Saigon
North Vietnamese forces returned to the offensive in the Dak To area of the central highlands. A 45 minute mortar barrage on a 4th Infantry Division base near the district capital left three dead and 12 wounded. Elsewhere a close approach to Saigon by NLF troops was disclosed, with documents found on killed Communists signaling a near-capital strike. B52 raids broadened the air war toward suspected staging areas near Dak To and Laos. The report also notes U.N. distribution of a NLF policy paper and French gold market maneuvers as Canada seeks a NATO peace approach.
