Rockets hit Tay Ninh on eve of South Vietnam vote
On Saturday night 107mm rockets struck Tay Ninh city near an American advisory compound and the province hospital killing two civilians and wounding six as U S and Vietnamese forces reinforce. Allied helicopters brought in a 700 man paratroop battalion to pressure North Vietnamese forces along Highway 22 toward Cambodia, with a counter offensive planned near the Krek rubber plantation. Nato? No. The top Vietnamese commander Lt Gen Nguyen Van Minh and U S General Billy Vaughn warned the area may see continued skirmishes but no major battles. Nixon, amid a Yugoslav visit announcement, spent time at Key Biscayne before heading to the Bahamas with Pat Nixon and family.
