Forest Fires Burn 195 000 Acres in Northern California
Forest fires scorched about 195000 acres across northern California as crews fought back the flames. 101st Airborne troops joined in the effort against the Cong, while worsening winter-like conditions spread. Two-foot snowfall stranded thousands in Rawlins Wyoming and disrupted travel on U.S. Route 30. In Vietnam, U S airborne units battled Viet Cong near An Khe with the 1st Cavalry engaging for the first time, helicopters delivering support and artillery positions established.
