Heavy Street Fighting Snipers Press Allied Lines in Laos and Vietnam

Heavy street fighting continues as U S and allied forces strike Viet Cong and North Vietnamese positions. At Khe Sanh 180 shells hit the base amid renewed Communist pressure while Chin Viet scouts report slow, hazardous clearance of Viet Cong from Cholon hideouts. A U S trooper recounts intense house to house fighting as snipers persist and artillery and bazookas are deployed. Local South Vietnamese losses are described as heavier, with morale strained and troops braced for further clashes.

Connally’s Proposal Aims to Raise $123 Million

State leaders expect Governor Connally to unveil a plan next Tuesday during the special session to raise $123 million annually to cover the coming year’s shortfall. The scheme centers on boosting the sales tax to 3 percent, extending it to services, and taxing vehicles and liquor. It would also shift funds to the general fund and adjust city allocations, with major opposition anticipated from large cities and the Texas Municipal League.
