Visitors see gain in Soviet aid influence in Hanoi
Reports from recent Hanoi visitors say Soviet and Eastern European military aid is rising with more trucks and equipment arriving. They note Hanoi’s high morale yet fear potential U.S. air strikes while Moscow seeks influence in Hanoi and allies in Laos. Railroad and highway links remain open despite some bridge losses. Labor shortages persist as industry focuses on total war. Rice is available, textiles and fats are scarce outside the capital. The last North Vietnamese rice harvest was decent in the southern panhandle but not remarkable.
