Armada Breached North Vietnam With Largest Air Assault in Years
The United States announced more than 1,000 combat strikes in five days against North Vietnam, targeting MIG air bases, SAM sites, and depots. Four MIG bases were repeatedly bombed as air power deepened beyond the DMZ, with US losses of three planes and several missing crewmen. The operation, biggest since 1968, occurred amid heavy air and ground campaigns across Laos, Cambodia, and South Vietnam battles, including a 30 day drive near Eastern Cambodia and engagements around Phnom Penh.

Low Number Men May Try Way Out
About 70 000 men with low lottery numbers face possible draft during early 1971 if no new calls are issued in January February or March. Those with 125 or lower who lost deferments may drop them before New Year’s Eve and escape callup, while others would become less vulnerable after March 31. Selective Service estimates 400 000 to 500 000 with numbers 125 or lower exist among two million student deferments.
