Hanoi Seen Deficent In Arms Supply
Washington reports American military analysts estimate North Vietnam has delivered about one sixth of the tonnage needed to sustain forces in South Vietnam and Cambodia through late spring. Through the Laotian panhandle since mid October, some 4,000 tons have moved, with a 20,000 ton gap remaining to be shipped before rains halt movements in May. Analysts doubt 20,000 tons can pass in five weeks, as campaigns disrupt Laos routes and air power aims to choke supplies. Route 92 trucks reappear after sparse repairs following prior damage.
