Saigon dispatch notes a first major countryside breakthrough since 1962 with farmers returning to abandoned hamlets as Vietnamization climbs. North Vietnam may strike across borders or wait for a conventional push while U.S. withdrawal continues, and Saigon bets on security first to unlock rural areas. Brig. Gen.

The piece warns that political division and ineptness could end any pro West Vietnam government if momentum falters, with 1970 uncertain.
