Medal of Honor awarded to Belcher in Vietnam action
The 62nd Medal of Honor honoring Vietnam hero Sgt Ted Belcher was presented to his widow in Washington. Belcher, 43, of Zanesville Ohio, leapt on a grenade to save his squad during a November 19 1966 action south of the DMZ in the 25th Infantry. Simultaneous Communist strikes hit Route 9 and Route One causing armor casualties and a village massacre near Phu Loc 60 miles north of Saigon.

China Grove Lines Up Vote On Water Bond Measure
Voters in China Grove will decide Tuesday on a $135,000 tax bond to fund a new water system. City Attorney Dan Rutherford reported subsurface water shortage ongoing since January 1965, prompting the council to call the election after a study of feasibility. A nearby water main line was added six months ago as part of a $1.2 million HUD grant.

Army Plans Early Releases for Pueblo Called Troops
Washington announced an early release plan promising that about 37 thousand of the 38 thousand Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel called up after the USS Pueblo seizure will be home before Christmas 1969. The Army will adjust draft calls upward to 28 thousand next spring to cover releases, with 20 thousand Guardsmen and reservists set to depart between 5 and 12 months early, and most naval and air force reservists also slated for substantial early relief. Some Seabees and Vietnam veterans will finish tours by late 1969, while ongoing releases depend on conditions in Vietnam. The plan cancels disbanding 30 basic training companies and instead reallocates positions, with Ft Bliss and Ft Dix civilian-fate changes.
