Vietnamese troops tried to
regroup at Vo Dinh, the last
defensive outpost separating
the Communists from the
provincial capital of Kontum.
UPI reporter Edward Bassett
said the fall of artillery base
Salem 30 miles north of the
port of Qui Nhon had cut off
Highway 1.
“They stood and fought and
were overrun,” Bassett said,
quoting military sources. He
said the defenders of Salem
were 150 South Vietnamese
infantrymen. He said the troops
blew up one of their own
105 mm howitzers after the
Communists hit the other one.
It was the 13th base to fall to
the North Vietnamese in the
Central Highlands most of them
since Sunday when the drive in
the area began.
Eighty miles to the north
west, South Vietnamese troops
worked to establish a new
defense line at Vo Dinh 11
miles north of Kontum, which
is 260 miles northeast of Saigon.

Astronauts wind up
scientific studies
By AL ROSSITER Jr.
UPI Space Writer
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI)— Halfway home from
man’s first trip to the moon’s
highlands, Apollo 16’s astro
nauts wind up their scientific
studies today with a dosed-eye
look at mysterious light flashes
and an X-ray search for
puzzling black holes in space.
John W. Young, Thomas K.
Mattingly and Charles M. Duke
were on target for a parachute
landing at 2:45 p.m. EST
Thursday in the Pacific Ocean,
1,500 miles south of Hawaii.
Excellent splashdown weather
was forecast.
“That’s the best news we’ve
heard in a long time,” said
Young, the mission comman
der, who has returned from
space three times before.
As Apollo 16 approached
Earth with 245 pounds of lunar
rock and soil samples, mem
bers of the preliminary analysis
team at the Lunar Receiving
Laboratory here stepped up
preparations to get an early
idea what Young and Duke
found in three days of surface
exploration.
The Best Bet
Dr. W.R. Muehlberger, the
mission geologist, said he

thinks the astronauts could be
bringing back “the real genesis
rock” representing the primi
tive early crust of the moon.
The best bet, he said, for such
a sample are pieces the pilots
chipped from a house-sized
boulder on the rim of North
Ray Crater, the largest and
deepest crater man has exa
mined on the moon.
One result that already has
far-reaching implications is the
astronauts’ discovery of an
unusually strong magnetic field
at their landing site. Dr.
Palmer Dyal said this rein
forced the controversial theory
that the moon once had a
molten core, because such an
interior is needed to generate
strong magnetic forces in a
planet.
The astronauts alloted one
hour today to more reports on
the light flashes that the last
six moon crews have reported
seeing with their eyes shut. The
phenomena are believed caused
by cosmic rays penetrating the
spaceship and triggering optic
nerves as they travel through
astronauts.
But the precise nature of the
radiation and light-producing
mechanism is unknown.
North Viets accept
offer to resume talks
ByALEXFRERE
PARIS (UPI)-North Viet
nam and the Viet Cong said
today they had accepted the
United States’ offer to resume
the Vietnam peace talks and
would show up for Thursday’s
148th session of the conference.
The talks have been suspend
ed since March 23 when
President Nixon said the
Communists were using the
meetings as a forum for
propaganda.
“After having interrupted the
Paris conference unilaterally
and unreasonably for more than
a month, the American admi
nistration has had to say that it
accepts the resumption of the
148th session of the conference
April 27, 1972,” the Viet Cong
said.
“If this is so, it is because
U.S. efforts aimed at sabotag
ing the conference and intensi
fying the war have been
vigorously condemned by public
opinion throughout the world,
. including the United States, and
have received a resolute riposte
from the Vietnamese people,”
the statement said.
“As far as it is concerned,
our delegation will take part in

Reg. to each
the 148th session of the
conference which will reunite
Thursday April 27, 1972, as
usual and reaffirms its willing
ness to settle the South
Vietnamese problem peacefully
The United States and South
Vietnam informed the Commu
nist delegations officially Tues
day they were lifting the
suspension of the conference.
The Hanoi delegation, howev
er, rejected a U. S. request that
the current Communist offen
sive in South Vietnam be the
first order of business in the
renewed talks.
“We reject all fallacious
allegations on the part of the
United States on the so-called
‘invasion of South Vietnam by
North Vietnam,’ ‘violation of an
understanding,’ etc.,” the Hanoi
statement said.
A North Vietnamese spokes
man said today parallel secret
negotiations, conducted on
North Vietnam’s behalf by Le
Due Tho, could only begin when
the regular sessions resumed
and U.S. bombing raids into
North Vietnam end.
He pointed out that only one
of these two conditions had
been met.
