US Recon Planes Over Vietnam Prompt Denials
US sources acknowledged reconnaissance flights over North and South Vietnam while denying Hanoi’s charges that American pilots guided South Vietnamese bombing missions. In Cambodia, insurgents fired 14 rockets into Phnom Penh, killing a child and three others in a candy shop and wounding 24 civilians. US cargo flights to Phnom Penh doubled as Mekong River access remained cut off by Khmer Rouge action. North Vietnam claimed U S planes aided Saigon bombers on Loc Ninh and to conduct many termination raids, while a US embassy spokesman called the accusation nonsense. Saigon reported continued heavy attacks on Viet Cong positions in Phuoc Long province.
