Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr asks the 10th U.S. Circuit Court to stop the FPC from enforcing its Permian Basin price cut on natural gas. He argues the Aug. 5 decision lowers Texas revenue by 7 percent production tax and blocks tax increases, seeking to keep current prices in effect during appeals.

McNamara outlines base closures and savings plan
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara announced a plan to close or reduce 149 bases at home and abroad, saving about 410 million annually. He noted 126 domestic bases in 39 states and DC and 23 overseas bases, with most savings identified after consultations. Over 53,000 jobs would be cut and 29,000 relocated, with civilian redeployment and retraining funded. Congress will review bases over 250 personnel, and lists will be released Wednesday. Total base-closure savings since 1961 would reach 1.5 billion annually.

U S infantrymen beat back wave after wave of attacks 40 miles northwest of Saigon aided by Air Force and Navy jets. The 1st Infantry Division sees its fiercest fighting since arriving in Viet Nam as reports say heavy U S casualties but official spokesmen call them moderate. Viet Cong losses cited as up to 200 dead with 40 to 50 bodies left behind. Elsewhere, a Marine amphibious force near the coast clears a Viet Cong stronghold, with 14 killed and 11 more by 7th Fleet fire. Nearby clashes and a three hamlet effort near Quang Ngai City add to the heavy toll.
