The North Vietnamese have sizable forces near the camp, however, and could go on the attack with little warning. The press reports extremely heavy shelling yesterday--about 1,000 rounds of artillery, rocket and mortar fire-against the government's defense line north.-of Kontum City in the highlands. Press reports also state thatsharp fighting in the central delta province of Dinh Tuong has cost the Communists heavil in casualties.
