Peace talks urged as Laos talks reject bombing demand
Prime Souvanna Phouma offered to open talks with Pathet Lao in territory held by Communists but refused to halt U S bombing first. Phnom Penh orders general mobilization for all citizens 18 to 60 and reports a large American arms shipment. South Vietnamese forces push into Cambodia while U S commanders say time is up for further search inside Cambodia. Allied losses and captures tallied as Saigon reports casualties and matériel seized in the two month incursion.
