Viet Cong rice supply lines crimped in Tuy Hoa drive
In Saigon area reports say major operations by U S and allied forces have begun to disrupt Viet Cong rice flows. The Tuy Hoa valley, a key 48 000 ton rice source, was swept by American Korean and government troops killing over 500 Communists. Smaller actions near Da Nang and in Binh Tuy increased seized rice to thousands of tons under government control. The effort marks a shift toward resource pressure on Viet Cong units, with police tightening checkpoints since 1964.
