SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) — Ground fighting flared anew
on widely separated fronts today as American infantrymen battled
the Viet Cong in Communist War Zone C near the Cambodian
border and U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese troops were lock-
ed in heavy fighting with Hanoi regulars near the buffer zone be-
tween the two Viet Nams.
U.S. planes, backing up the Americans in both areas, rained
blows at the enemy. One Marine helicopter was shot down but
there were no casualties. It was the 224th helicopter reported lost
in South Viet Nam in the war.
As the Marines fought the North Vietnamese soldiers about 10
miles south of the demilitarized zone, giant B52 bombers struck
in embattled Tay Ninh Province 60 miles northwest of Saigon for
the seventh straight day, following up 104 strikes on Viet Cong

Johnson Talks To Newsmen
In Whisper, Writes Notes
Minutes Following Surgery
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Johnson underwent
successful surgery today and, just four hours later, was
able to talk to a group of newsmen in a hoarse whisper.
Johnson, who doubtless was delighted by word from
his doctors that his twin operations turned up no sign
of malignancy, told half a dozen reporters who gathered
in his hospital suite:
“Just a sore throat, that's all — sore and very pain-
ful.”
Johnson, who was in the operating room at the Bethes-
da Naval Medical Center in suburban Maryland for
about an hour, displayed good color and high spirits
when the reporters visited with him for 17 minutes at
his invitation.
Johnson didn't do much talking, though, limiting him-
self to a couple of brief comments. For the most part,
when he wanted to say something. he scribbled mes-
sages on paper.
During the visit, Johnson was going through a folder
of papers labeled “Action Items.”
A number were messages of good wishes. Some were
reports from federal officials — one informing him that
he should be in a position within the first 10 days of De-
