Three Viet Cong were killed, two South Vietnamese dead and four wounded in the ensuing clash.

This signals possible Kowtow shifts and a setback for Ky loyalists among refugees from the North. Five of 17 members were holdovers from the Loc cabinet. Ton That Thien, publisher of a newspaper suppressed during Ky’s premiership, is the new information minister. Loc was ousted by Thieu who backed Huong, a wartime ally of the United States.
