Forty two Americans were killed or wounded and 81 enemies were reported dead amid ongoing rocket and mortar attacks nationwide. Easter services were scaled back in battle zones.

The network substituted an earlier show and cited content objections, while the brothers accuse CBS of harassment and note remaining season reruns and a summer series in question. The cancellation follows disputes over material and delays cited by Robert Wood, CBS president, and involves a draft-resister theme and remarks about General Eisenhower.
