Planes Attack North Vietnamese Antiaircraft Batteries

Navy escort planes hit surface to air missile sites near Quan Lang 48 miles northwest of Viet, with two sites knocked out. Command says the strikes respond to attacks on reconnaissance planes and radar indications of SAMs, while Hanoi denies any understanding about continued flights. Vo Nguyen Giap warned in December that North Vietnam will not tolerate reconnaissance over its territory.

Senators Turn Down 1 Year Draft
Washington AP The Senate Armed Services Committee backed a two year draft extension and disputed a one year limit or a four year term. Pay raises moved to $1.7 billion in immediate boosts and future hikes, while enlistment bonuses of 1000 dollars for combat enlistments and 1000 per year for two years were restored after House cuts. The move seeks to push toward an all volunteer force and phased draft elimination.
