U S Plans Resume Limited North Vietnam Attacks
U S Command disclosed that American planes attacked antiaircraft weapons in North Vietnam after repeated fire since the halt in bombing 15 months ago. A SAM launcher 12 miles inside North Vietnam fired on a recon aircraft and escort, prompting routine fighter-bomber returns. One escorting F105 was shot down by ground fire, and a U S rescue helicopter was downed by a MiG during搜 search for two F105 crewmen. The command noted no bombing over North Vietnam since Nov 1 1968 except an inadvertent bomb release months earlier.

Negotiations in Cincinnati between city employees and the city stalled again as talks ended with both sides in deadlock. City Manager Richard Krabach faulted the union for an unrealistically hard position and no further meetings were set.
