Six thousand South Vietnamese push into southeastern Cambodia
A major new three-pronged operation across 100 miles of the Cambodia Vietnam border saw about six thousand South Vietnamese troops move into southeastern Cambodia today. The goals included cutting North Vietnamese infiltration, destroying rebuilt bases, and easing pressure on Phnom Penh. Reports say some units may reach Takeo, while U Minh forest and Seven Mountains area battles continue. The U.S. destroyer Rowan shelled targets on the border and in the Ca Mau region, with 16 secondary explosions observed on the Hon Chong peninsula.

Hijacker Testifies About 1960s TWA Plane Takeover
Raphael Minichiello, a 21 year old U S Marine, testified in an Italian court that during the New York to Rome hijacking he relaxed on the final leg after allegedly receiving what he claimed were orders from the pilot. He said his unloaded rifle was loaded in New York and fired accidentally near police. He described forcing an Italian officer to drive him from the airport for protection against the FBI and said he wanted to be captured in a church sanctuary.

Air Over Laos Gets Crowded
Aboard USS Shangri La air traffic over the Ho Chi Minh trail in southern Laos has grown so dense that fixed flight corridors and altitudes are now in use by Air Force fighter bombers from Thailand and South Vietnam and Navy planes from carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin. With the dry season and northbound moves, the Laotian panhandle has become the war’s focal point, though enemy air defenses remain light. Up to 400 missions daily, though weather has slowed operations recently, and the Shangri La plans to deploy three squadrons of Skyhawk bombers to ease congestion.
