OCR Page 1 of 57NEWS SUMMARY
April 1, 1972
(Friday nets, wires, columns)
The major stories of the day:
-
B-52 without bombs aboard crashes near McCoy AFB in
residential area near Orlando with 7 crewman killed, 8 civilians
injured but almost unbelievably, none of them were killed.
Avoidance of larger residential area possibly result of pilot's
skill. (Lead film reports on all nets.)
-
Heaviest fighting south of DMZ in 4 years continues with enemy
racking up a "series of dramatic successes" (CBS) and ARVN,
routed from 5 of 8 outposts under attack, getting much the
worse of what may well be the long-awaited offensive. The
US has ordered B-52s into direct support of the ARVN. (No. 2
story on all nets with film reports on 2 where it also noted was
RN's close watch on situation and his confidence that ARVN
would hold. If so, Vietnamization will have been a success,
ABC noted the WH said.)
-
Reasoner in Taiwan concludes that even there RN's trip had a
positive impact. From Hong Kong, Harry doubts any PRC
attempt to takeover. And from Canada ABC reported on the
lusty singing PRC pingpong team which is looking forward to its
US visit and making more Western friends. Focus on one
smiling, personable and highly skilled female player.
-
Several more food chains announce rollback or freeze on beef prices.
-
UMW Pres. Tony Boyle found guilty on all 13 counts stemming
from illegal campaign contributions to HHH. First national
union officer so judged. (Brief note by nets.)
-
It becomes more complicated and contradictory every day, said
NBC with film (CBS also) of Dita Beard's secretary saying that
she did type section of memo saying AG Mitchell did know of
pledge but she doesn't recall the segment linking pledge to
settlement.
