WASHINGTON (A)-An Amer-
ican Navy plane has been shot
down off Red China's Hainan Is-
land, government sources said
yesterday.
Red Chinese MIG aircraft at-
tacked two unarmed American
planes which strayed near Com-
munist Hainan Island Tuesday
night. One was shot down, the
other fled to Da Nang, South
Vietnam:. '
The Pentagon said the two U.S.
Navy propeller driven Al sky-
raiders inadvertently strayed into
Hainan's airspace because of nav-
igational difficulties.
Shot Down
"One of the planes was ihot
down by Communist MIG air-
craft," the Pentagon announce-
ment said.
It placed the spot about five
miles off the east coast of Hainan
Island.
Peking Radio, in a broadcast
monitored in Tokyo, charged the
United States with -carrying out
"war provocations."
'Heavy Blow'
"Navy pilots of the People's
Liberation Army immediately
dealt a heavy blow and shot down
one of them and damaged the
other," Peking said.
At the Pentagon, Asst. Secre
tary of Defense Phil G. Goulding
said he did not know whether the
second plane which escaped had
been damaged or whether its pi-
lot was inured.
Goulding said this 1i;ot reports
he last saw the other plane in a
vertical dive and :moking."
No Comment
Goulding refused repeatedly to
say anything about the downed
pilot.
"I am not going to answer any
questions about the status of the
pilot," Goulding said.
He would not give a reason.
He also asserted: "I am not go-
ing to discuss any questions about
air-sea rescue operations."
Possible Search
This, suggested that U.S. forces
might be searching the. waters in
hopes of recovering the pilot.
t A preliminary report in Wash-
ington said that the pilot who
made it to Da Nang had seen a
parachute descending from the
plane that was shot down.
Red China claims territorial
waters out to 12 miles from its
coastline. The same limit applies
to its airspace.
No Match
The slow, flying Skyraiders -
no match for the supersonic MIGs
- were on a ferry flight from
Cubi Point in the Philippines to
the aircraft carrier Coral Sea, in
the Tonkin Gulf.
The carrier launches fighter
bombers on raids against North
Vietnam.
What happened to cause their
navigational difficulties was not
explained.
Goulding said he did not know
what the weather conditions were.
Only a few days ago another
Al Skyraider came within a few
miles of overflying Hainan but
turned back apparently without
incident.

U.S. Adarine jets poured rockets,
napalm and tear gas yesterday
against North Vietnamese troops
holed up in Hue's walled Citadel in
one phase of an American air
campaign intensified on both sides
of the border.
GI Path
Explosives 'chipped at massive
stonework of the Citadel, once
the imperial grounds of Vietnam's
emperors, in an attempt to cut
a path for American Leathernecks
trying to root out the remnants
of a Hanoi regiment. But it was
slow work.
Field reports said almost no
progress was made through the
15th day of Vietnamese and
American operations against the
enemy force.
The rest of the city is largely
cleared of the Communists who
claimed it at the outset of their
lunar new year offensive.
Meanwhile, history's most con-
centrated aerial bombing cam-
paign is- under way around the
U.S. Marine base at Khe Sanh, a
qualified U.S. Air Force source
said yesterday.
Although large numbers of North
Vietnamese troops, supply, and
ammunition dumps have been pre-
sumably destroyed, Communist
pressure on the base 14 miles south
of the demilitarized zone builds
steadily.
Some Marine officers believe
that without the mighty bombing
campaign, Khe Sanh would bej
untenable.
Only 5,000 Marines face a forcej
I
of perhaps 20,000 North Vietna-
mese regulars.'
In extreme peril, such as a ma-
jor enemy break through of Khe
Sanh's defenses, the Marines prob-
ably would retreat into their
bunkers while U.S. planes dropped
thousands of antipersonnel bombs
to blow the North Vietnamese off
the Leatherneck positions.
Long range artillery with shells
that air burst could help but there
are only a few guns capable of:
this in position.
U.S. Close In
Marine officers in Da Nang say
that the North Vietnamese have
steadily closed in and that some
enemy bunkers and trenches are
only about 300 yards from the
Marine barbed wire.
At such a distance, radar bomb-
ing strikes are extremely hazard-
ous. Even visual bombing has to
be carried out with the utmost
care.
Two outposts guarding Sara-,
vane, -strategic town in southeast
Laos, were also attacked by North
Vietnamese, L a o t i a n military
sources reported.
They said government forces re-
treated but the outposts were not
entrenched positions. The out-
posts are about seven miles west
of Saravane. The action was not
considered significant since both
sides long have been maneuver-
ing around Saravane.
It is from Saravane that Laos
sends out patrols and planes to
watch or attack North Vietnam-
ese moving down the Ho Chi Minh
trail to South Vietnam.
Lindsay Speaks
Lindsay told the New York
State Publishers Association in
Buffalo:
"In its studies, the commission
found that the National Guard
won no medals in those cities
where it was called into burning
ghettoes.
Criticisms
"The guardsmen were under-
trained and perhaps overequipped.
By and large they were unsym-
pathetic to the Negroes. This
manifested itself in that the
guardsmen were unreliable, trig-
ger. happy and ineffective in deal-
ing with mobs in the streets."
Recommend Action
President Johnson appointed
the 11 member panel last July 29
to investigate the causes of riots
that erupted in Detroit, Newark
and other cities and- to recom-
mend preventative action.
There was no immediate official
National Guard reaction to the
development, but one officer said
he doubts the guard "would ob-
ject very strenuously" to forma-
tion of a special riot control force
because it "is a very unpleasant
job and nobody likes it."

This was an open meeting of the
commission. The subject of the
intelligence ship Pueblo, seized by
the North Koreans Jan. 23, came
up only incidentally.
Pak brought up the Pueblo, say-
ing the United States was taking
advantage of the incident to make
"full preparations for war."
Cyrus R. Vance, the envoy sent
by President Johnson to try to
smooth over relations with South
Korea, put to a strain by the secret
negotiations at Panmunjom, again
postponed his departure for Wash-

The South Koreans have com-
plained that the United States
was paying too much attention to
the Pueblo incident and not
enough to North Korean threats
to South Korea's security.
They also do not like the secret
talks,. from which South Korea has
been excluded.
