NIVILIANS "GOT THE WORST OF IT." THE ROCKETS RIPPED UP MANY HOMES
HEAR TSN, INCLUDING ONE (ON FILEr+) WHERE OCCUPANTS WERE EATING
EREAKFAST. ASIDE FROM THE " SHRAPNEL-TORN BODIES," SAID BURKE, THE

NUMBERS SINCE '68.... CBS' WAGNER, NOTING LENGTH OF TIME SINCE LAST

TOOK A HIGHER TOLL, HE SAID, OVER FILM SHOWING DAMAGE TO NEARBY
CIVILIAN BUILDINGS. HE NOTED WHEN ARVN FOUND OUT WHERE VC LAUNCHED
ATTACK, THEY MOVED QUICKLY AND WERE TOLD BY VILLAGERS THE VC HAD
HELD THEM CAPTIVE DURING THE NIGHT. REPORTER SAID ATTACK HAVE
MORE PROPAGANDA THAN MILITARY VALUE.
NBC NOTED DOD' S FRIEDHEIM SAID THE US IS CONTINUING TO RESEED
NVN MINEFIELD SOUTH OF THE 20TH PARALLEL, BUT HAD NO COMMENT WHEN

A GESTURE TOWARD THE GOAL OF UNITY WITH PROTESTANTS IN THE
