ICCS suspended flights in area.

downing over weekend were returned to Saigon. A "sad cargo, 11
said Davis of CBS, who noted only Poles suffered no losses.
CBS also noted it took 2 days of discussions w/VC to get bodies

(NBC) of Phnom Penh, as gov't reopened vital Hiway 4 and 5 supply
ships "ran the gauntlet" of Communist fire up Mekong River. W/

items like enameled bathtubs, gourmet foods, and cider instead
of food to resupply markets, altho a few trucks and needed petroleum
were also delivered, easing the town's fuel shortage
1st ship to
reach Phnom Penh was "appropriately" named the Lucky Star, noted

"increasing optimism Admin. will take action to strengthen economy. 11
