Sniper Wounds Sacramento Policeman In Loud Neighborhood Shootout
Sacramento policeman Bernard Bennett, 24, remained in extremely critical condition after a sniper shot hit his patrol car Saturday night. Five hours of brain surgery followed as shots from a high powered rifle were fired from a rooftop, with two holes in the car roof and others through the rear window. A second officer was unharmed. Police sealed the area, making arrests unlikely as the night unfolded near a park where youths blocked prior arrests.

Pentagon Sees Volunteer Army in Vietnam by 1971
Pentagon sources say U S forces in South Vietnam could run on volunteers by mid 1971 as strength reaches about 240,000 to 250,000. President Nixon cited 240,000 in a May news conference, while Defense Secretary Laird suggested Cambodia operations might speed troop withdrawals.

U S Ammo Seizures in Cambodia Hit Viet Cong Finances
U S Undersecretary Elliot L Richardson said raids on Viet Cong sanctuaries in Cambodia netted more communist ammunition than they would use in ten months. Ambassador Blisworth Bunker said it would take about eight to ten months for the Viet Cong to regain prior capacity, stabilizing Vietnamization and withdrawal plans. Richardson noted Cambodia seizures exceed last year totals and could complicate Lao operations, while noting possible remote retaliation by the Soviet Union or Red China was considered but deemed unlikely. He emphasized the risk was acceptable given the strategic aims.
