Hanoi expands pipeline to carry gasoline south
North Vietnam reportedly extends a new four inch gasoline line from Quang Khe toward Bankarai Pass, paralleling Route 137 to feed trucks through Laos.

FTC rules require stock of sale items at time of ads
The Federal Trade Commission ruled that grocery stores must stock items they advertise at the advertised price to meet reasonable demand. Rain checks do not satisfy the rule, and the prohibition against disclaimers will extend to department drug and hardware stores. Violations may incur civil penalties. The ruling stems from a 1967 study of 137 stores across 10 chains in San Francisco and Washington showing 11 percent of advertised items were unavailable in most stores.
