Cambodian Drive in Eastern Cambodia Meets Strong Resistance
Cambodian Red forces engaged a North Vietnamese unit about nine miles northeast of Krek near Highway 7 as a major push by 400 Rangers and an armored column began the largest Cambodian operation in six months. U S helicopters and artillery supported, with supplies and munitions captured. The accompanying crash near Fire Base Mary Ann killed 21 South Vietnamese and injured 31, while five American crew injured. The overall effort aims to curb infiltration, secure the south, and protect upcoming elections.

Bomb halt seen as LBJ big mistake
Admiral A Grant Sharp said Johnson’s halt of bombing at Hanoi and Haiphong was a grave error and North Vietnam’s greatest victory. He argued the move cost the United States leverage for negotiated settlement and that the air war was misunderstood by Pentagon civilians. He praised Nixon’s strategy of shifting fighting to the Vietnamese when they could assume responsibility.

Public Works Bill Advances Amid Unemployment Push
A revised public works measure backs funds for high unemployment areas with 360 to 400 million, far below earlier 2 billion totals. The Senate 8 to 2 approved. House Public Works Committee also backed a similar bill ahead of a likely full House vote. The package funds EDA and Regional Development for two years and authorizes Appalachian Commission support through 1978, with Blatnik pledging to override a possible presidential veto.

Rail tieup looms as UTI talks stall and North Western gain seen
Negotiators for the United Transportation Union and railroads held another session without a breakthrough over work rules. The strike already idled two lines and could spread this weekend. Chicago & North Western settled separately, but that may not alter national talks. Southern Railway President Claytor doubts a pattern, noting the railroad’s weak finances. William Stark Hawkins, 60, former Elks grand exalted ruler, died of a stroke during the 107th Grand Lodge convention in New Orleans. He was an attorney from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
