Close-In Fighting Turns Back
Communist Attack Near Saigon
By ALVIN B. WEBB JR.
SAIGON (UPD—Firing ma
chineguns and hurling grenades
at Communists only eight feet
away, U.S. troops smashed a
600-man North Vietnamese at
tack near Saigon, military
spokesmen said today.
Spec. 4 David L. Thomas of
Quincy, Calif., in one burst cut
down eight Communists eight
feet in front of his M6O
| machinegun in Sunday’s battle
ot Ben Cat.
Sgt. David C. Evasco of
I Lincoln, Neb., battling beside a
| flaming ammunition bunker in
the Ist Infantry Division camp,
looked through the explosions
and saw "three enemy stick
| their heads up and stare. I
I wiped all three out with a hand
grenade.”
The 800 U.S. defenders killed
at least 44 of the Nofth
Vietnamese. The Communists
raced back into the jungle. The
U.S. camp suffered one Ameri
can killed and 36 others
wounded.
At the same time Sunday, a
U.S. Marine force walked into
a Communist trap 13 miles
south of Da Nang. UPI
photographer Kent Potter, with
| the Leathernecks, said the
I Americans figured hours of U.S.
i air and artillery bombardment
had wiped out the 150 Commu-
I n’sts cornered in a series of
jungle bunkers. The Marines
advanced.
Waited Patiently
Nothing happened until the
Marines were in the middle of
the bunker area. The Commu
nists rose and fired. Machine
gun fire raked into the Marine
positions.
For three hours the Leather
necks battled to save them
selves. Pierre Issot, a UPI
movie cameraman who suffered
I a leg wound in the fighting, said
the Communist fire was so
heavy that Marine ambulance
helicopters were unable to
reach the U.S. wounded. But the
Marines finally battled out,
killing at least seven Commu
nists. The Marines suffered 28
men wounded.
As the battles flared and as
guerrilla artillery hit four South
I Vietnamese cities today, Saigon
government sources said Pres-
I ident Bguyen Van Thieu had
almost completed preparations
for sending his delegation to
delayed war settlement talks in
Paris.
The Marines had been driving
against the 150 North Vietna
mese and Viet Cong in one area
of operation Dodge City, a 4,000-
man Leatherneck drive against
the guerrillas harassing the
outskirts of Da Nang, 360 miles
north of Saigon.
Military spokesmen said 370
Communists have been killed in
Dodge City.
Kill 92
In the Saigon area, U.S. and
South Vietnamese forces killed
92 Communists in three engage
ments in which one American
was killed. In one of the battles
U.S. 852 bombers by coin
cidence broke up an attack by
400 Communists on the U.S. Ist
Infantry Division night camp 26
miles north of Saigon.
U.S. military officials report
ed Sunday that a test apparent
ly had proved a South
Vietnamese Army division can
fight just as effectively without
its American military advisers.
Over a six-month period the
number of Americans working
with the South Vietnamese 22nd
division was cut from 169 to 62
and their status changed from
advisers to liaison officers.
U.S. military sources said a
favorable response to the test
from top allied commanders
could bring further “de-Ameri
canization” of other South
Vietnamese units in a move to
turn more of the fighting over
to South Vietnamese.
In Da Nang U.S. intelligence
sources said questioning of a
Vietnamese farmer had raised
the possibility of Russian
advisers working with North
Vietnamese troops in the area.
NO JOKE
LEIGH-ON-SEA, England
(UPD—Three people didn’t
think the clowning of Phillip
Circus, 17, was very funny.
They were a former school
teacher, the manager of the

a former girl friend. Circus got

sentence after the court was
told he made 1,965 anonymous
phone calls to the three and
sent them 211 offensive letters.
