U S Expects Viet Attacks To Reach New High Point
U S military spokesmen forecast Viet Cong and North Vietnamese assaults would stay at 20 to 40 nightly, then rise to a new peak before September. Reports cite 411 enemy rocket and mortar arms and eight ground fights since Thursday, with over 150 allied bases hit. Casualties include 11 killed and Buy wounded, while South Vietnamese losses are light. The Viet Cong claimed a fresh offensive and vowed relentless lightning strikes. US intelligence notes 4,000 to 5,000 North Vietnamese troops near Saigon, and U S aircraft pounded positions along the Cambodian border. Three American helicopters were downed in northwest Saigon, with eight troops killed.
