Gls In Vietnam At New All Time Low
American troop strength in Vietnam fell below 480000 for the first time in two years, with 479500 troops reported as of last Thursday. The drop follows a five month downward trend since early withdrawals, amid hopes of further reductions this year. Nearby combats included Viet Cong attacks in Long An and near Cam Ranh Bay, with American and Vietnamese forces reporting casualties and light material damage. Lt. Gen. Julian Ewell said pacification pressure is strongest in Long An, where Viet Cong battalions face steady attrition. The command also noted 73 North Vietnamese killed in an operation opposing a major infiltration route from Cambodia, while four U.S. helicopters were shot down and five crewmen killed.
