A pregnant Vietnamese woman, Mrs Nguyen Thi Thom, 23, recounts the terror in Saigon after a Viet Cong mine exploded near a construction firm truck. She and about two dozen coworkers were en route to work when bullets ripped into the vehicle, leaving several injured in the street as U.S. services rallied.
In Saigon a coin toss decided a local contest as bullets struck near a crowd. Mrs. Thom, wounded by a tracer round, was helped to a doorway and later hospitalized. Thirteen Vietnamese wounded included three deaths. among the wounded were five men and five women expected to recover. In Albuquerque, a state senate primary produced a tie between Robert Haner and Trene Mathias, resolved by a coin toss.
An early morning mine at a Saigon bus stop killed a bystander and wounded others as Viet Cong and U S forces clashed in the city. Initial reports blamed mixed fire and a taxi blast, with authorities investigating casualties from both mine and gunfire. Soldiers cordoned off the area while witnesses recalled the chaotic street scenes and scattered injuries amid passing traffic.
