...last week announced plans to build a 50-kw. Voice of America radio transmitter in South Viet Nam near the 17th Parallel to beam some propaganda of its own into the miserable North. Harassing raids into North Viet Nam by South Vietnamese Rangers, which have been quietly going on for more than a year, are being slightly stepped up; Hanoi itself has announced 14 trials of "spy commandos" since last June, denouncing the "plot of the U.S. imperialists to intensify sabotage against our North."
