Jets Fly Near Hanoi; Scatter U.S. Leaflets
SAIGON — (UPI)— American jets flew to within 55 miles of Hanoi today—the closest ever to the North Vietnamese capital — but dropped psychological warfare leaflets instead of bombs.
Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said U.S. reconnaissance planes led by 12 jet fighter-bombers came within 12 miles of Hanoi. The Tass dispatch, datelined Hanoi, said North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gunners opened fire. It made no mention of hits.
AN AMERICAN spokesman reporting the leaflet raid said other U.S. planes bombed military targets farther south of Hanoi, including an ammunition depot, railroad bridges and rolling stock and an offshore radar station.
The daylight missions followed a pre-dawn strike in which four U.S. Navy jets raided a North Vietnamese truck convoy with a barrage of rockets fired under the light of parachute flares.
The leaflet raid near Hanoi was part of the continuing American effort to bring the Hanoi regime to the conference table for a negotiated settlement of the Viet Nam war.
