LAOS
The Communists have gained control of several
outposts near the government's defensive line west
and south of the Plaine des Jarres. Four small gov-
ernment units in the San Luang area withdrew on 12
March after receiving enemy mortar and recoilless
rifle fire. Farther south, in the Ban Na sector,
government troops have abandoned another small out-
post, the second to fall to the Communists in this
area in recent days.
Enemy pressure in the Bouam Long area northeast
of the Plaine has eased. Sustained air, strikes and
artillery fire on an enemy battalion south of Bouam
Long forced it to withdraw.
The Communists are continuing their efforts to
push more supplies into the Plaine. Several recent
intercepted messages from logistical units in the
Ban Ban area have reported preparations for a "new.
mission." The messages also disclosed that the Com-
munists have been forced to make some administrative
adjustments in the Route 7 supply system to lessen
the strain on overburdened units.
