A Hue shelling killed one and damaged five homes. Dalat endured shelling as forces moved in. In Ottawa the Canadian dollar freed to float, likely rising toward parity with the U.S. dollar. In Tokyo thousands protested U.S. bases as treaty renewal nears. In Cairo an Italian student hijacker sought asylum after a DC-9 landing.

Improper Fuel Cited In Fatal Atlanta Expressway Crash
NTSB chair John Reed said the private Martin 404 that crashed on an Atlanta area expressway carried Jet-A fuel in 200 gallons of supply rather than the plane’s standard fuel. The improper fuel appeared to have deprived the engines of power, while investigators caution against immediate conclusions. Pilot James Cannin is named in the evidence, and the crash killed six people and injured 34 others.
