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.

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.
