Document Shows Pueblo Told To Snoop
AP reports a January 1968 naval order allowed the USS Pueblo to photograph Soviet ships near Japan as part of a North Korea surveillance mission. The plan, code named Idythmic One, would have kept the vessel within 13 to 60 nautical miles off the Koreas, near the 39th to 42nd parallels, had the Pueblo not been seized in North Korean waters on January 23.

The clash north of Loc Ninh left at least 217 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese dead, with 14 American troops killed and 60 wounded.

Fortas declines return to testify on university seminar pay
Justice Abe Fortas refused to appear again before the Senate Judiciary Committee as hearings continue on his nomination to be chief justice. Witness Dean B. J. Tennery said Paul A. Porter helped raise funds for Fortas's nine week seminar at American University, noting Fortas left compensation decisions to him. Fortas cited lack of precedent and devotion to the court in a letter, while Griffin called the refusal an incomplete record.
