US Reports Significant Enemy Activity in DMZ
US command said 26 sightings in the demilitarized zone showed significant enemy action, with 128 deemed serious enough to prompt retaliatory fire from air, artillery, and ships. Ambassador Hariman warned negotiations could not continue if DMZ shelling continued. Radio Hanoi claimed US bombed North Vietnam sites on Dec 3, with reports of civilian casualties and multiple raids since November. South Vietnamese reports cited shellings of capitals and towns, killing 56 civilians and wounding 498. In the DMZ, US artillery silenced a machine gun position and pounded two North Vietnamese troop sites amid smoke and uncertain casualties.

Parental Stand Tests Strained New York Schools
Seven union teachers sat in an empty East Harlem elementary school announcing they would teach any child who appeared. The action highlights a widening gulf between the Negro community and the teachers' union and the Board of Education amid ongoing decentralization tensions. Charles Wilson of IS 201 urged continued parent resistance as Public School 39 would stay open but children stay home. The seven teachers are among nine in the IS 201 complex who boycotted during fall city strikes and faced suspension for insubordination. A parallel ouster of 79 white teachers in Brooklyn sparked AFL-CIO UFT strikes against the district over class days.
