A U S Phantom reportedly scored a probable kill on a North Vietnamese MIG21 in a rare nighttime dogfight over the Laotian Plain near Base Area 609.

Tax Bills Await Senate Action in Virginia Budget Fight
In Richmond, the Virginia Senate shelves its budget clash with two major tax bills aimed at funding a 5.1 billion spending plan and a 650 million road program. The House pushed through 1972 tax changes including gas tax rise to 9 cents, corporate rate to 6 percent, and a new top bracket at 5.75 percent on adjusted income over 12 000. The measures seek to cover an 80 million revenue gap, with a slim 5 million expected surplus. The House defeated higher brackets and broad tax swap proposals and considered local sales tax options, while extending 18 year olds beer and wine access and approving a film board review bill 72 to 20.
