A resolution backing a vocational technical and health service training school at Walker Air Force Base was approved at the Democratic Party State Platform Convention in Albuquerque. The plan promises savings of over 20 million and supports educating about 2,000 new students yearly at 6 million dollars in costs. The need stems from travel distances limiting access to education. North Vietnamese forces eight miles south of the DMZ conducted probing attacks today. US HQ reports two small-scale actions with 13 Marines killed in the operation and B52 bombers striking the area. Maj. Gen. Wood B. Kyle says the Marines may stay for days or weeks. No other large-scale fighting reported. Fatherland Front urges more support after Ho Chi Minh's mobilization decree.
