Floods in Vietnam
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) SAIGON, November 13. At least 28 persons have been drowned, and 25,000 have fled to higher ground from floods which have washed away almost 600 houses in the South Vietnamese coastal province of Binh Dinh. Almost as many people have had to abandon their homes in the neighbouring province of Quang Ngai, where the floods are six feet deep. Along the Cambodian border, North Vietnamese troops have used captured American howitzers against South Vietnamese forces trying to recapture a stretch of Highway No. 14. Near the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, about 20 mortar bombs were fired into the town of Prey Vang, and fighting continues along Highway 38, still held in places by the Khmer Rouge.
