Reds Pour South at Record Rate
Administration sources say North Vietnam is exploiting US bombing limits by tripling southward movement of supplies and massing troops. Reports estimate 75,000 to 80,000 NVA moved in March and April, nearing the total infiltrated last year. Since 1968 began, up to 100,000 NVA sent south. Laotian supply routes see April tonnage two to three times prior averages. President Johnson ordered a bombing limit around 200 miles from the 20th parallel, later narrowed to the 19th.
