Planes Hit Laos Trail In Broad Air Offensive
U S wave planes attacked border crossings along nearly 100 miles of the Ho Chi Minh trail in southern Laos. South Vietnamese forces reported 100 enemy killed in seven clashes as 45 attacks on units and civilians occurred in 24 hours. B52 bombers operated 65 miles northwest of the DMZ pounding Mu Gia Pass exits while Stratofortresses dropped bombs on Ban Karai Pass. Since October, U S air power totaled about 3 500 sorties and more than 100 000 tons of bombs on the trail. Ground clashes ranged nationwide with 3 South Vietnamese killed and 15 wounded. 18 rocket and mortar attacks caused casualties. In Cambodia, 21 enemy killed, one South Vietnamese. Kyodo reports 4 000-5 000 South Vietnamese paratroopers jumping into southern Laos, with U S support, aiming to cut North Vietnamese supply routes, though corroboration was lacking.

Connally Denies Violation and Wins Finance Committee OK
The Senate Finance Committee approves 11 to 0 the nomination of former Texas Gov John B Connally as secretary of the Treasury after he denies violating laws by accepting fees tied to the Sid Richardson estate and says he gave up 400000 to 500000 in legal fees to become Navy secretary in 1961. He cites that the $750000 fee as executor was spread over ten years to aid tax planning and insists payments were for services performed before his governorship.
