Allies Kill 2,868 Reds New High
American and Allied troops killed a record 2,868 Communists in combat in South Vietnam last week.

The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese offensive sputtered on amid a 36hour truce. In the capital area American forces repelled a major Viet Cong strike. U.S. casualties were to be released later.
