Northern Ireland turmoil looms as protest rally nears
Five dead and at least 25 wounded in gunfighting and rioting over the last 24 hours as Northern Ireland braces for a large Protestant rally. About 60,000 Protestants expected amid fears of IRA retaliation after recent bombings in Catholic areas. North Yemen says its forces shot down two South Yemeni MiG 17s in an early border air raid at Kutoba. Civilian and soldier casualties reported. The Senate Armed Services Committee probes unauthorized bombing raids against North Vietnam with no sign of civilian control breakdown. In Saigon, U.S. warplanes raid North Vietnam airfields and claim nine MIGs destroyed or damaged. The Jackson amendment backs an arms treaty with no inferiority to Soviet limits.
