Red 12-hr Viet plan ignored U.S. calls 30-hr truce
U S and South Vietnamese forces ignored a Communist 12 hour Christmas truce offer and announced a 30 hour Yuletide ceasefire with guns silent from 6 p.m. December 24 to midnight December 25. The MACV order, signed by Westmoreland and Cao Van Vien, allowed self defense only. The move extended beyond the Red offer and framed as a test of Viet Cong resolve amid Cold War tensions.

Flare up deepens Dominican crisis with air war toll
In Santo Domingo the crisis widens as a government report on rebel leaders stirs fears of uprisings. A three-man panel may spark leftist strikes if it backs military leaders, while U.S.-led peace forces remain a stabilizing factor amid street violence and rioting.

Ohio voters may face reapportionment plan in May
Ohio Attorney General William Saxbe predicted on Wednesday that voters will be asked to approve the state's new reapportionment plan in a constitutional amendment on the May primary ballot. He said the plan was his work and that he did not push for a referendum though some citizens may file one. Separately a suit by Senate Democratic Leader Frank W. King of Toledo challenges the plan’s constitutionality, with a court panel later ruling the plan could face state court review in future elections. In Yonkers, fire officials reported 12 people may have died in a Jewish Community Center fire, though the panel said the outcome could shift if a window was kicked out or a door left open.
