Illinois Senate votes to allow taverns on election days
The Illinois Senate approved a bill 32 to 10 to remove an antiquated law restricting tavern operations on election days. Senator Mitchler argued the old rule was aimed at past abuses and that taxes are lost when voters avoid pubs. The chamber also sent several measures to the House on farming trucks, city alderman elections, probate age, and teacher workshops.

Rocket attack wipes out Lao village and Laos push
A rocket assault nearly wiped Ban Dong Hene in Laos, on the Ho Chi Minh trail’s edge, as North Vietnamese forces stepped up strikes in the panhandle. Observers warn the action may pressure Premier Souvanna Phouma to curb U S bombing of supply routes. Pak Song and Ban Houei Sai fell, gaining control of most of the Bolovens plateau. U S officials report trail supplies cut sharply, with about 7 500 tons reaching South Vietnam and Cambodia during the dry season, and over 22 000 NVA trucks destroyed or damaged by November to May 4.
