Record heat bakes Long Beach beaches and SoCal
A 96 degree heat wave paralyzed the Southland as Long Beach hit 96 Sunday, shattering May records and driving crowds to beaches from Santa Monica to Huntington Beach. Los Alamitos logged the nation’s hottest spot with 96 degrees and water temps stayed cool enough to limit swims and rescues. Local beaches including Santa Monica, Huntington, Seal Beach, and Cabrillo Beach overflowed with visitors while Griffith Park saw a cooler crowd and far fewer arrests.

Harvest From Space Sats May Educate World's Poor
In 1972 a space booster from Kennedy Space Center will launch a satellite positioned over India to relay low cost telecasts on family planning hygiene agriculture and basic production skills to scattered rural villages. A small 1M watt generator will aid reception in remote areas while a community receiver will reach most places.

Massive Allied sweep in Cambodia yields sparse enemy found
Yield items include penicillin from Britain and surgical instruments from Germany with rice and ammunition in earth bunkers. U S and South Vietnamese forces failed to locate significant numbers of troops or the anticipated headquarters beneath the red earth near a deserted Cambodian village. Several medical supplies bore American Friends Service Committee markings and some cartons carried Air France labels. About 400 cases of medical gear were recovered, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, as officers speculate most troops fled before the operation continued.
