...shares; almost immediately, a second fund came in with another 100,000. Now everyone seemed to be selling Fairchild-and Texas Instruments and Motorola into the bargain. The M. J. Meehan Co., the Street's respected Fairchild specialist, valiantly tried to buy, but could not absorb all the available shares, lost a rumored $500,000. Fairchild itself dropped 191 points by the closing; Texas Instruments was down 151, Motorola 101. Next day, although Texas Instruments rallied, Fairchild fell to 1021, a two-day loss of 231, and Motorola was down to 981, a loss...

The report's main points: > Galloping inflation, which could yet undo all the benefits of the U.S. buildup by swamping Viet Nam's economy with more money than it can absorb, has been curbed by a drastic 50% devaluation of the piaster, as well as by new economic restraints worked out jointly by U.S. and Vietnamese officials. - Saigon's creaking dockyards, once a crucial brake on the war effort, have been more than doubled to handle 380,000 tons of cargo...
