Lettuce Prices Jump as Salinas Strike Spreads East
A Salinas Valley walkout by Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers pushes lettuce costs up in California and hints at higher prices nationwide. Wholesaler Joe Carclone predicts rapid spread eastward. San Francisco sees iceberg heads at 6 dollars per carton with 39 to 29 cent single heads as retail prices vary. The strike suspends much of the valley’s 70 percent share of U.S. lettuce production with 5000 of 7000 workers on strike.

Experts say Cambodia appears stronger in face of Vietnam threat
White House experts say U S attacks in Cambodia double odds Lon Nol regime survival. North Vietnamese forces in Cambodia around 35000 could seize power after the rainy season, but that would drain effort in South Vietnam and give Lon Nol time to consolidate. U S aid totals about 40000 in weapons plus bombing raids and urging Asian allies to assist.
