JOHNSON KEEPS UP THE PRESSURE

Thirty-one schoolchildren, aged 14 to 16, together with their teacher, were killed October 10 when their school ina tiny village, 55 miles southeast of Hanoi, was bombed by the U.S. air force.

The class was part of a school containing about 1,000 students which had been moved from Hanoi to the countryside to provide better protection to the children from the American raiders.

According to the correspondent of Agence France-Presse there was no military or strategic target whatever in the hamlet which is surrounded by rice paddies. The tragedy followed a similar incident in the province of Than-Hoa September 27 when 433 schoolchildren and two teachers were killed by bombs.
