VIENTIANE, Laos—The Lao-
tian Government said today that
North Vietnamese attacks on the
strategic Plain of Jars have been
repulsed. The information min-
ister for Laos says officials don’t
believe an enemy offensive has
begun.

Saigon reported that American

mitted providing air support in
Laos.
SAIGON—Two US Navy mine-
sweepers have been attacked on
a river a mile east of the Cam-
bodian border and 145 miles
west of Saigon. The US Com-
mand says one American was
killed and six wounded.
