Bombs hit Hanoi suburbs
SAIGON—(UPI)—U.S. carrier based Navy jets and Air Force fighter-bombers believed based in Thailand struck oil and transportation centers four to five miles from the heart of Hanoi today.
The bombers struck in wave after wave at both the northern and southern suburbs of the capital in the mightiest raid on the Hanoi area since July 29 when U.S. planes attacked as close as seven miles away.
The weather—made more turbulent than usual this year by an unusual number of cold fronts—
cleared and the planes swept in in waves, somewhere between 66 and 110 planes. The exact number was kept secret.
THERE WAS NO report on damage to the principal targets, an oil storage area and the Van Dien vehicle depot near the southern outskirts.
Military spokesmen also made no mention of any aircraft losses or of anti-aircraft fire. Both Hanoi and Haiphong are ringed with circles of Soviet-built surface-to-air (SAM) missiles and great batteries of radar-directed conventional anti-aircraft guns.
Kosygin braes fangs
PARIS—(UPI)—Visiting Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosgin said today in a bitingly anti-German speech that the forces of Fascism and war were reappearing in West Germany as "unenbarrassed and arrogant as always."
It was considered unusual for another country while on a state a visiting foreign leader to attack visit to one of its allies. There
was no immediate French reaction to what normally would be considered a break of international etiquette.
Kosygin said West Germany's alleged territorial and nuclear ambitions menace the peace and political balance in Europe. He demanded that Bonn be prevented from acquiring nuclear arms and from changing its borders.
Booms rattle area citizens
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)—Several explosions, apparently sonic booms, were heard in parts of Kansas and Missouri about 4:15 or 4:30 a.m. today.
Windows rattled at Topeka and many persons called police thinking burglar were breaking into their dwellings.

week that some of its planes would be flying over several midwestern states, including Kansas and Missouri, and that residents could expect sonic booms today.

Air raids as close as today's to the Hanoi area have been a rarity.
When asked why the raids had become so few and far between a military spokesman said, "that's something you'll have to ask President Lyndon B. Johnson or the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The reasons for picking targets is not ours. . ."
