The worst Fourth of July traffic fatality toll on
record was reached over this holiday weekend.
With last-minute figures coming in sloufly to-
day, the toll stood at 559 traffic deaths bn the na-
tion’s highways to surpass in a three-day period
the four-day recordset in 1963.
. Drownings with 208 were sharply higher than
last year’s figure of 114. _ J
Boating accidents accounted for 47 deaths.
The National Safety Council had estimated that
between 510 and 610 persons would die in traffic
accidents this holiday period.
The worst single accident of the period took 10
lives Sunday 30 miles west of Tucson, Ariz. Two
cars collided head on and all of the occupants,
Arizona Indians, were killed.

action in South Viet Nam, but it
appeared that the Communists
may have targeted isolated Spe-
cial Forces camps for the victo-
ry that has/so far been denied
them In the 1966 monsoon sea-
son. Viet Cong raiders made
four attacks on the lonely out-
posts in the past three days.
The heaviest action reported
Monday involved U.S. Marines
near the northern city of Da
Nang. With the help of air
strikes and artillery barrages
they reported killing 154 Viet
Cong in various fights.
The attack on the torpedo
boats came in the same general
area where Navy planes sank
three similar North Vietnamese
vessels Friday as they were
headed for the 7th Fleet frigate
Coontz. Nineteen North Viet-
namese sailors were captured.
The two Skyhawks took off
from the carrier Constellation
at 2:30 a.hi. today after the tor- ‘
pedo boats had been picked up
by radar in a cluster of islands.
The planes dropped flares, a
U.S. spokesman said, and were
fired on. The Skyhawks at-
tacked the boats with rockets
but soon afterward one1 of the
Skyhawks went down. Navy and
Air Force search planes also
reported antiaircraft fire from
the shore.
The downed pilot was rescued
about 7:30 a.m. by a Navy Heli-
copter from the carrier Kear-
sarge. His narqe was withheld.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The

with the explosive issues of the
Viet Nam war and civil rights.
In the first formal session of
their 58th annual conference,

discussions, '
There ia no doubt that if the
Democrats push for it, they can
get an endorsement from tile
conference for President John-
son’s Viet Nam policies. They
got one in last year’s meeting
with only two dissents — those
of Republican Govs, George
Romney of Michigan and Mark
O. Hatfield of Oregon.
But a check by Die Associat-
ed Press of a score of governors
uncovered doubts and reserva-
tions, even among the Presi-
dent’s supporters, about the lat-
est bombings in North Viet
Nam. Gov. Phillip H. Hoff, Ver-
