U S Abandons Hiring Chinese Mercenaries
Saigon reports that the U S military command is quietly ending the use of Viet Nam born Chinese mercenaries known as Nungs due to pay-based resentments among other mercenaries. About 4000 Nungs served with U S Special Forces camps, with 20000 civilian guards from non Viet Namese groups. Some Nungs are being rehired at parity pay or reassigned as security guards amid a broader pullback in mercenary funding and recruiting in Saigon and Da Nang.

Parole Legislature Debates Life Sentence Bill Amendments
The legislature advanced a language tweak by Sen. Chester Hubbard and struck down two amendments by Sen. William Brotherton that would have made first degree murder punishable by life imprisonment without parole. Carrigan argued life without parole is harsher than death and warned about the burden on the jail system. Gainer, initially opposed, softened after discussing with a veteran guard.
