ALVIN B. WEBB reports in Saigon that Communist troops broke into an American artillery position near Bone Sanres and caused heavy casualties for the 1st Air Cavalry. About 440 Communist bodies were found. U S air strikes and naval bombardment are believed to have killed more. The Red force was estimated at 1,200. The battle marked the war’s bloodiest five day stretch as reinforcements and support drove the attackers back. Meanwhile dockworker strikes in Saigon threaten to halt vital military cargo, South Vietnamese leaders warned of broader labor action. Viet Cong assassins wounded Dr Phan Quang Dan, a Constituent Assembly leader, and killings with prior assembly member Tran Van Van raised concerns over political stability in South Vietnam.
