This is die picture after three months, of battle: MILITARY The offensive from the North has been stalled far 'short of Its ultimate goal of collapsing the Saigon government North Vietnam's harbors are mined and its troops are taking crushing poundings from U.S. air strikes. North Vietnam itself is under heavy air attack daily, -particularly around the Haiphong and Hanoi areas.

U.S. Air commanders say that "smart bombs bombs guided to targets by laser beams or television are systematically destroying North Vietnams war capabilities while minimising civilian casualties. While the United States denies it, Hanoi has charged that many of the air attacks are aimed at breaching the system of dikes in the North to flood farmlands and other productive areas. Other than at die still-critical front at Hue, it is unlikely that die North Vietnam can get the major offensive gdngagaln. On the other side, the South has lost Important areas won by tha allies in five costly years of battle.

Hamlets under enemy control are up from seven in March to nearly 1200 at the end of May. Desertions are at die high level of Tet, 196tf. The Saigon fences have lost 12,000 dead, including much! smaller unit leadership. But fears earlier in the offensive of a general collapse have not been realized. ECONOMIC Saigon suffers die woryt inflation in its history, commerce is stagnant, and unemployment is die highest in years, mainly because of the American cutback and die resultant lapse of hundreds of small businesses dependent for their survival on American customers.

The Social Security measure, die biggest money increase in die programs history, was tied to a bill extending die nations $450-billion debt ceiling through Oct 31 of this year. This linkage, sponsored by Democrats in Congress but voted for by most Republicans, made it impossible for Nixon to veto the Social Security boost without killing the increase in the debt ceiling. Had the ceiling not been increased it would have automatically dropped to $400 billion, thus crippling die government fiscally.
