Heavier Bombing
<N.Z.PA.-Reuter—Copyright) SAIGON, Feb. 26 The United States will intensify the bombing of North Vietnam in the next two months, according to American military sources in Saigon. They say the increased attacks will be the allies’ reply to the guerillas’s invasion of South Vietnamese cities and to North Vietnam’s refusal to recognise as "a peace-feeler” the halt in bombing around Hanoi
and Haiphong in December and early January. “We tried to be nice and it didn’t work,” a United States command officer said today. The intensified bombing will include raids on targets as yet untouched, and heavier attacks on targets already hit. According to the sources, only the monsoon season has held up the massive strikes. “On the first nice day you’re going to see results,” one military source said.
