McNamara Urges No Letup In Viet Air War
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, concluding a five day Vietnam visit, says there will be no easing of the air war over North Vietnam. He notes American commanders will receive all necessary troops but may justify limits on further increases beyond 470,000 war duty. He cites heavy costs to Hanoi for aiding the insurgency and says the air campaign aims to curb infiltration and supply lines. In separate clashes, nearly 1,000 North Vietnamese attackers overrun a South Vietnamese base camp before being driven off with at least 116 killed and many wounded. American paratroopers suffer 26 dead and 49 wounded in a fortified ambush. McNamara also reportedly pressed limited integration of Vietnamese troops into U.S. units.

Israel Accepts UN Suez Canal Observers after War Plea
Israel joined Egypt in accepting United Nations observers to police the Suez Canal cease fire line while warning the move must not jeopardize its six day victory. The Security Council called for observers after heavy fighting near Port Said and Port Fuad as Soviet naval units reached Alexandria and Port Said to aid Egypt. Israel reported anti aircraft batteries shot down an Egyptian jet east of the canal and that another fled near Port Said as Soviet ships visited. The State Department expressed concern over continuing Russian arms shipments and urged Moscow to curb the munitions race in the Middle East.
