Military says foe supplies are short in Vietnam war
American analysts estimate North Vietnam has moved just over 4000 tons of ammunition through Laos since mid October and must send about 20000 more before rains in May. They warn supplies could dip below last year’s levels even after Cambodian caches are stripped. U S authorities doubt 20000 tons can move through the Laotian panhandle in five weeks before monsoon. South Vietnamese drive disrupted Laotian routes for six weeks, while U S air power claims to have choked much of southbound materiel.
