Shan tribesmen block Red China pull in Burma
In northeast Burma a lightly armed Shan guerrilla force, possibly five battalions, challenges Ne Wins government from tribal lands. The Shan, split from Burmese troops, rely on village leaders for tax and intelligence, while former Chinese Nationalist remnants vie for routes north. U.S. intelligence has limited access, complicating policy choices as Rangoon fears closer ties to Maoist China and Washington weighs arms and advisers.

Eisenhower warns war mothers Army would vanish
Twenty years ago in a Capitol Hill scene General Dwight D. Eisenhower told a group of irate war mothers that if all fathers were discharged from the Army there would be no Army. The Mothers pressed to speak with him as he entered the Capitol. The era also noted Reverend Ralph E. Shober reporting 3,500 bales of clothing and bedding sent by the New Windsor relief center to foreign relief efforts in the past year and a half. Some icy spots lingered on main highways but temperatures above freezing helped clear roads before a new cold spell.
