Americans Evacuate Sam Thong As Communist Push Advances
UPI reports U S forces evacuated most Americans from the Sam Thong base in Laos as North Vietnamese troops captured two posts nearby within artillery range. Long Cheng near Sam Thong houses Gen Vang Pao’s Meo fighters. An estimated 2 000 Communists pressed the area while refugees fled south and west toward safety. Authorities later acknowledged at least 20 Americans remained at Sam Thong.
