In South Vietnam, the U.S.
Command reports it is pressing
the campaign to blunt an enemy
buildup in the Northern regions.
The Command says seven B-52
bombing missions were flown
around Khe Sanh and the A
Shau Valley. The U.S bombers
hit at suspected base camps and
staging areas.
South Vietnamese forces,
meanwhile, reported killing 23
enemy troops in three clashes.
The scattered actions took
place south of Da Nang, in the
Central Highlands and in the U
Minh Forest of the Mekong
Delta.
The Cambodian Command
said today its forces have re-
taken a Mekong River island
from the Communists after ten
days of fighting and heavy air
bombardment. The large island
is 45 miles north of Phnom
Penh. Meanwhile, field sources
report more fighting in Nor-
thwest Cambodia. Sources say
an estimated 1,000 enemy
soldiers are harassing security
troops along one highway.
The renewed fighting is said to
be located near a town located
on the key roadway, and at the
Angkor Temple ruins.
Cambodians are said to have
made two attacks to clear
enemy troops from villages five
miles southeast of the town.

BANK WINDOW BROKEN-NO ENTRY: The Police Dept, is investigating
the breaking of a window (north side, shown above) of the Citizens National
Bank Tuesday night, a case where it was presumed the offender gave up when
he found a big cabinet against the black-paneled window. No breaking-instru-
ment was left behind. Two years or longer ago, a window there was broken
and entry was gained and a local man, given a prison penalty, subsequently
was paroled. No apprehension had been made in Tuesday night's offense by
this afternoon.
Gene C. Smith, director of
Baylor bands, directs the
symphonic band that is com-
posed entirely of students, most
of whom are instrumental
music majors in the Baylor
School of Music.
The band is rapidly gaining in
recognition in the Southwest. It
was one of only four bands in
Texas invited to perform at the
Texas Music Educators
Association convention in
Houston last year. Last month
the band premiered a new work
for percussion and wind en-
semble that was written for the
Baylor group by Karel Husa,
Pulitzer Prize-winning com-
poser from Cornell University.
