VIETNAM
Communist forces in southern Quang Ngai Prov-
inceare firmly resisting South Vietnamese efforts
to dislodge them from the Sa Huynh area. The gov-
ernment is sending reinforcements to assist in the
campaign.. Elsewhere in the country, both sides con-
tinue harassing actions in widely scattered areas.
The-Communists are still staging numerous-small-
scaleattacks, mostly in Quang Tri Province. Gov-
ernment "security operations" are continuing to
clear Route14, which remains blocked between Pleiku
and KontuM cities. Aside from 8a Huynh, South Viet-
namese forces are not involved in any large-scale
offensive operations. '
