Experts Say North Vietnam Short of Supplies In Asia War
Analysts warn North Vietnam has moved only about one sixth of needed supplies into South Vietnam and Cambodia this year. They estimate over 4000 tons moved through Laos since October with much more sought via the Ho Chi Minh trail before rains cut movements in May. US officials doubt 20000 tons can pass Laos in coming weeks, noting campaigns disrupted Laos routes for six weeks and air strikes blocked much southbound materiel.
