g Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, September 6, 1968 ,.,. i New Viet' on Sio Cong attack anticipated; U.S. casualties soar I at Actihon1 ne.ar capital grows 11 intens11i SAIGON (I)-North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops tried to lure allkid forced out from their de- fense of Saigon yesterday, perhaps in prelude to a large-scale Com-. m nlst" drive against the capital. U.S. intelligence sources said the earliest the Communist could mlount an attack against the capi- tal was mid-Seplember, provided it scored successes over allied wfces In the outlying areas. The U.S. Command announced thiat American combat casualties soared last week to the highest level in the past three months. It said 408 American troops were killed and 2,513 were wounded in the secon4 week of fighting that followed a two-month lull in the ground war. Communist forces tried unsuc- cessfully to throw the allied de- fense of Saigon off balance when they shattered the ground war lull Aug. 18 with heavy offensive along the Cambodian border northwest of the capital. Intelligence officers say the Commhunists hoped t force the allies into pulling troops out of the Saigon defense ring. More than 2,000 American and South Vietnamese infantrymen' launched a drive into the Bbi Loi Woods, 30 miles northwest of Sai- gon, yesterday, in search of an enemy force believed bent on up- setting the allies' defenses., First reports said there vwas no contact with the force, made up of elements of two regiments from the Viet Cong's 5th Division. The Viet Cong could use the woods as a springboard for attacks on allied installations and towns along the defensive line leading to Saigon. These include the 25th Sen. Dir Sen reveals plot: a:a assassination WASHINGTON (P)-Sen. Ever- ett M. Dirksen of Illinois disclosed yesterday that, he was notified by Uficial sources three times in recent months that attempts on his life were planned. ' He was given special protection on each occasion, Drksen said. He declined to tell newsmen how the plans were discovered or who was said to have been in- volved. Dirksen, the Senate minority leader, said that, "I was supposed to have been assassinated in my office" late last inonth.: iHe' said $he information came from the Federal Bureau of In- vestlgation, which assigned agents in.. him, during' a trip he made to Argument blocks aid, to Itiafra., LAGOS, Nigeria (P)-Plans for a daylight mercy airlift to starv- ing civilians in secessionist Biafra verged near collapse yesterday amid controversy over where Red Cross planes could land supplies. Federal troops reported they! had raised the Nigerian flag over Aba, the largest of three towns held by the Ibo rebels. Biafra acknowledged federal forces had broken through Aba's defenses. Diplomatic sources here said no Red Cross planes took off as had been scheduled yesterday from Fernando Po, the Spanish island off the eastern Nigeria coast where relief supplies are stockpiled. Nigeria's military government had agreed to allow Red Cross transports to shuttle food and medicine from the island to a Biafran airstrip, called Annabelle, for 10 days starting yesterday. The federal authorities had pre- viously threatened to shoot down planes flying into Biafraa. Biafra welcomed the agreement, but broadcast a proposal yester- day that the Red Cross planes land instead at Uturu, a village near Obilago airstrip in central Biafra. The Nigerians have re- jected Obilago as a landing spot because it would block the advance of federal troops on the head- quarters of Biafra's leader, Lt. Col. C. Odumegwu Ojukwu, 25 miles from the airstrip. "We will not change our stand," a Nigerian military spokesman said of the latest Biafran pro- posal. August Lindt, International Red Cross coordinator for West Africa, was reported in Biafra trying to talk Biafran leaders into accept- ing the Nigerian proposal. He was to fly to Fernando Po Thursday night, but diplomatic sources said he might return to Lagos if the warring sides canot agree on a landing site. Lindt got the Nigerians to agree to daylight relief flights after the Red Cross had threatened to defy federal government warnings against flying into Biafra. The Nigerians had contended that the opening of an air corridor to Bia- fra would make it easier for the rebels to smuggle in arms.. The Red Cross and other wel- fare organizations have been making unauthorized night flights across Nigerian territory into the secessionist state, but these fall far short of meeting the needs of thousands of starving Biafrans. *.~,.. ~The application for the teacher's cer- tificate is due at the beginning of the DAILY OFFICIAL Junior year.
