Gen Neo Quant Troong, a top South Vietnamese commander, asserts no more major battles are expected as the allied drive wanes and the Cambodian incursion recedes.

Rail Union's Right To Call Selective Strike In Court
Washington AP reports a decision pending in the Court of Appeals on whether the United Transportation Union may pursue selective strikes against two railroads Burlington and Northern and Atlantic Coast Line.
