North Viet Invasion Hinted in Laos Clash
The drive into Laos to cut the Ho Chi Minh trail neared its 18th day with no new forward movement. U.S. forces repelled a ballistic tank assault near the base inside Laos as casualties mounted, including 89 Americans killed in action and 42 nonhostile deaths for the week. Soviet tanks, likely PT-7s, and heavy shelling marked the battle as Washington warned of potential first strike capability and urged continued antiballistic and missile hardening efforts. The Middle East section noted Israel and Arab nations in persistent conflict, with U.S. and Soviet involvement shaping the tensions. In Laos, multiple fire bases faced shelling while U.S. air strikes battered North Vietnamese troops along the trail, yielding bodies, ammo, and heavy weapons after air attacks.

Post Urges State to Break Off Tideland Revenue
Long Beach official urges state action to halt tidelands oil revenue sharing with the city. He cites $325 million in income and argues the Queen Mary museum project warrants tighter scrutiny and potential termination of revenue sharing after legal costs are covered. The State Lands Commission says figures were taken out of context and uses a conditional nonobjection approach pending project completion. The Queen Mary is to be moved this weekend and open for tours in April.
