Thieu predicts Viet Cong offensive
SAIGON—(UPI)—President Nguyen Van Thieu today predicted a last-gasp Communist offensive within "two or three months" designed to give the Reds a substantial victory and a bargaining position in this U.S. presidential election year.
He said 1968 was the make or break year for the Viet Cong and Hanoi and their aim is to have sufficient success by the November election to be able to enter negotiations from a position of strength.
Travel tax defeat expected today
WASHINGTON—(UPI) —The House Ways and Means Committee today votes to block the overseas travel tax.

Ballet-
Continued from page 1 women tempted the reluctant men, and then became frightened little girls when the men answered to their alluring gestures.
The final dance, "Monument for a Dead Boy," was the most radical departure from traditional ballet of the evening. Set to the unearthly electronic music of Jan
Boerman, the dance depicted a youth caught between death and survival in a world of misunderstanding. The movements of the dancers were in perfect time with the unexpected bursts of ear-splitting sound, as the young man looked back on his parent-dominated youth, his attempts at love and even his own conception.
