Time Running Out For Pakistan War Outlook Explains U S View
U S government specialists say Pakistan faces a hopeless East Pakistan collapse within days with no West run improvement. Indian forces control Chittagong harbor and a blockade while East Pakistan air cover is non existent. In the West Pakistan could sustain a longer war though Indian numeric superiority grows.

Cambodianization Seen Far Off by Saigon Officials
Saigon officials say Cambodian army is far from effective and North Vietnamese and Viet Cong could seize Cambodia if desired. Estimates place up to 80 percent of Cambodia under Communist control with about 80,000 enemy troops, two-thirds North Vietnamese, aiming toward South Vietnam with 60,000 main force units and 20,000 support troops. Officials view attacks on Cambodian forces as partly political and aimed at securing lines and bases.

Halt Inductions Of Draftees With Deferments Pending
Washington AP draft chief Curtis W. Tarr halted inductions for registrants awaiting hearings amid criticism that new rules would restrict deferments. He said the November December quota of 10,000 is filled, pausing drafting through the holiday season and suspending personal appearances and appeals to preserve new procedures.
