Navy Ships Close to Ground Troops in Viet Nam War
The 7th Fleet shore bombardment ships engage near Saigon as ground forces request fire support. A destroyer fired on an enemy position up the Saigon River while merchant traffic passed nearby. Since May, thousands of tons of ammunition and over 25,000 rounds have been used for on call support to Army and Marine units. The system relies on spotters and observers to adjust fire within nine miles of friendly troops. Night missions use illumination shells to reveal Viet Cong positions.

Three fears loom large in the mind of buyers says UPI
A UPI summary notes shoppers fear not getting value, fearing a flawed product, and worry about family or neighbors ridiculing the purchase. It cites a closing moment where a salesman uses a clever detail to reassure, discusses credit and installment buying, and warns of the wide impact of limiting consumer credit on jobs and output.
