War duty limited; GI morale lifted
DONG HA, South Viet Nam—(UPI)—Defense Secretary Robert McNamara gave thousands of American servicemen a morale boost today by announcing "under no circumstances" would they be required to extend their one-year tour of duty in Viet Nam.
McNamara made the announcement before flying off on a helicopter tour of Marine positions along the demilitarized zone.
In Saigon, police uncovered Viet Cong documents saying McNamara should be assassinated, but said there were no attempts to carry out the assassination.
There had been reports the tour of servicemen here would be extended for 14 or more months with the tours of key pilots and staff officers extended to 18 months or longer.
About 230 miles northeast of Saigon, Viet Cong guerrillas used civilians as human shields to escape a fight with U.S. paratroopers today.

'Singing Nun' changes tune from church bell to doorbell
BRUSSELS—(UPI)—Belgium's "Singing Nun," whose recording of "Dominique" catapulted her to fame three years ago, today took up a new life outside her Dominican convent as a lay member of the order.
An announcement yesterday by the Dominican convent of Fichermont said Sister Luc-Gabrielle, known on her recordings only as Soeur Souirie, Sister Smile, was giving up convent life to become "an apostolate amidst the masses."
Using her real name of Jeanine Deckers, the Singing Nun has taken up residence in Heverlee, a suburb of Louvain, sharing a sixth floor flat with another girl. A note over the doorbell bears the sign of the cross and reads, "Jeanine Deckers, Dominican. By appointment only." No one answered the doorbell today.
