Holiday Truces Fail to Aid Viet Nam War Efforts
U S officials told editors and broadcasters that Christmas and New Year truces in Vietnam do not give the Communists time to regroup or resupply. They denied pressuring South Vietnamese Premier Ky to accept the ceasefires, noting ongoing power struggles in Communist China and a dim military prospect for victory in Viet Nam. October casualties show 5,700 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese killed versus 900 South Vietnamese and 340 Americans, with 2,416 Communist fighters captured in October.

Berry Advises Police On New Search Statutes
Vigo County Prosecutor Ralph Berry urged Chief Detectives John O Lary to adopt guidelines after a Federal Court decision. The letter says a search with consent must include notice of the right to refuse a warrantless search and warns officers may conduct only a pat search for weapons. It requires informing detainees of rights before any papers are searched and consent must be given without a warrant. Police reaction was negative as the rules could hinder investigations. The guidance parallels the Miranda ruling on advising suspects of the right to counsel, and O Lary plans to propose the new approach with some reservations about practicality.
