U S sources report over 560 tons of bombs dropped on the corridor where the road runs 15 to 16 miles NW of Khe Sanh. Bombing halted apparent North Vietnamese engineer activity as the road reached about six miles into South Vietnam. The line, about 14 miles long, may have aimed to link with a tank trail, potentially allowing movement of troops and artillery toward Camp Carroll and eastern installations.

Judge Arnason Takes Davis Case Amid High Tensions
California judge Richard Arnason, known for calm handling, is assigned to Angela Davis murder kidnapping trial after multiple recusals by Marin County judges. The case stems from a courtroom escape attempt that left a judge and three others dead at Marin County jail. Davis, 21, UCLA philosophy instructor and self described Communist, is charged with murder and conspiracy alongside Ruchell Magee, 32, a San Quentin inmate, in the 1970 courtroom siege. Arnason was appointed by Donald R. Wright of the California Supreme Court and comes from a long record in criminal and civil cases in the San Francisco suburb.
