Phu Quoc is the site of South
Vietnam’s largest prisoner of
war camp and although Com
munist guerrillas operate
among hills on the island, it is
seldom considered a part of the
war zone.
At least six South Vietnamese
troops were killed and 52
wounded in heavy fighting
Saturday and Sunday, military
sources said.
At the opposite end of the
Indochinese peninsula, South
Vietnamese rangers on a new
Cambodian thrust southeast of
Phnom Penh clashed with a
Communist force. Nine Viet
Cong were killed and the Saigon
troops captured a single Com
munist rifle.
The South Vietnamese report
ed no casualties of their own in
the action 14 miles southwest of
Highway 1 outside Kampong
Trabek.
Informed sources in Phnom
Penh said, meanwhile, that
North Vietnamese troops have
forced Cambodian villagers at
gunpoint to stay in their
villages during Cambodian
government attacks in the
fighting east of the capital.

Wasps battle
cereal beetle
EAST LANSING, Mich.
(UPI) —Tiny, stingerless Eu
ropean Wasps are being sent
forth from a Michigan State
University research station
near here to do battle with the
cereal leaf beetle.
The beetle is one of the most
serious cereal pests in the
Midwest.
Dr. Frederick W. Stehr, the
MSU entomologist heading the
study, says the wasp, native to
France and Yugoslavia, is
“already doing a good job of
keeping the beetle in check in
western Europe. There’s no
reason it can’t do the same
here.”
The wasp, which when fully
grown is only one-sixteenth to
one-eighth inch long, attacks
the larvae of the cereal beetle,
laying four to six eggs inside
each larva. As the eggs grow
and develop, they kill their
host, diminishing the number of
new cereal beetles.
