Attleboro Ends Big Viet Nam War Zone C Drive
Major General Fred C. Weyand led Operation Attleboro in Tay Ninh Province northwest of Saigon. He said the action opened War Zone C to end its status as a Viet Cong sanctuary and forced dispersion of the 9th Division and the 101st North Vietnamese Regiment. The operation killed 1,100 Communist regulars and seized 2,400 tons of rice and other materiel, but Weyand noted the Viet Cong hold remains uncertain and warned against overclaiming victory.

Government Extends Tax Date Two Days
Washington AP reports the IRS extended the individual income tax filing deadline by two days to April 17 next spring. The change affects about 65 million taxpayers and aims to simplify filing with minor form changes. For 1967 taxes filed in early 1968, a new box allows contributions to a presidential campaign fund, but the provision won't take effect until next year. The main shift is the IRS using full computer processing on all returns for enhanced checks of arithmetic and data like dividends and interest.
