Times: Mining Seems Effective
NEW YORK (AP) --New York Times correspondent Anthony Lewis reports from Hanoi that the consensus of foreign observers now is that the American mining has effectively closed North Vietnam"s ports.In a dispatch to The Times last week, Lewis quoted a Haiphong official as saying the mines were being cleared and ship traffic was unimpeded.He said some observers believe the North Vietnamese are sweeping the mines in Haiphong's inner harbor at night. But he said North Vietnamese officials say more mines are being sowed."Times: Mining Seems Effective", by (AP), published in the Pacific Stars and Stripes Thursday, May 25, 1972 and reprinted from European and Pacific Stars and Stripes, a Department of Defense publication copyright, 2002 European and Pacific Stars and Stripes.
