Political situation: Khanh seeking increased US commitment in South Vietnam; increased stress placed on military manpower shortages; government moves effectively to stimulate public support; Khanh's disposition of the imprisoned generals marred by press leak; new press regulations may improve Vietnamese journalism while veiling government censorship; Minh rejects Can's clemency plea; Hoan dissatisfied with pacification program; Hoan continues efforts to form united political front; I Corps Commander warns of Buddhist demonstrations; Khanh reportedly seeking balance between VNQDD and Dai Viet; no coup plots reported; Saigon port security deteriorates; USNS Card sabotaged; Polish ICC team member wounded in Viet Cong attack. Military situation: No general increase in Viet Cong activity noted; tempo of ARVN ground operations increases; pacification program moves slowly out of planning stage; corps-by-corps activity. Economic situation: budget reform problems again delay Oanh's US visit; interministerial meeting discusses land reform.
