Allied troops freed 34 chained prisoners after a brief clash with Viet Cong in the Mekong Delta area. U.S. spokesmen earlier said a 10-man Army landing boat was overdue, possibly sunk or in Cambodian waters. Freed prisoners included government regional force soldiers, a militiaman, a reconstruction worker, a hamlet chief, and an assistant hamlet chief. They were moved from a prison camp after B52 raids by about 40 Viet Cong troops who chained them to stakes and left them.
