In Saigon a Peking broadcast hinted that Chinese volunteers might intervene in North Viet Nam as U S and South Vietnamese air forces delivered a heavy strike against Viet Cong supply lines. It cited Korean volunteers condemning U S aggression and warned Beijing would not stand idly by if air raids continue. American pilots reported light opposition in Thursday’s raid, with Maj. Robert F. Ronca and Capt. John B. Cutler saying they expected more resistance from MiG 17 jets but faced only rifle fire. North Viet Nam called the raids a serious threat, while signals pointed to a broader shift in U S policy against escalating North Vietnamese activity in the south.
