Christmas cease fire effort tests Vietnam war truce
U S. and allied forces held a 24 hour truce in Vietnam as fighting continued in pockets. South Vietnamese troops reported heavy enemy fire with mortars and ground attacks while the Viet Cong proclaimed a 72 hour truce. Johnson ordered bombing North Vietnam, but peace talks in Paris remained uncertain amid procedural debates. A planned Christmas Day meeting with Viet Cong reps to discuss a prisoner release was set for noon Wednesday about 50 miles northwest of Saigon near the Cambodian border. Three U S prisoners of war were named as James Brigham Thomas Jones and Donald Smith. In the Da Nang area South Vietnamese rangers attacked large enemy forces 20 miles south of the city with allied air support.
