FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY IM A **-'0 vpw FRIDYv UNE 1, 985HE MCHIAN LA1L1 , PAGE TREE;L Relief Force Stems Viet Cong Drive; Saigon Poitical Situation Unstable SAIGON, Viet Nam MP)-A bold gamble by a Vietnamese army commander who poured reinforce- ments into Dong Xoai under with- ering Viet Cong groundfire ap- parently turned the tide of a pow- erful Communist offensive yester- day. But fighting at the district cap- ital, 60 miles north of Saigon, had cost Americans their worst battle loss of the Viet Nam war. Of the 21 Americans at a spe- cial forces camp near Dong Xoai, every one had become a casualty by Thursday morning - dead, wounded or missing. But there were conflicting reports on the breakdown. ' Original Defenders The original defenders at Dong Xoai were making a last ditch stand when Brig. Gen. Cao Van Vien, commander of the 3rd Ar- my Corps, called on helicopters to airlift his 52nd Ranger Battalion into the battle zone. Vien's men reportedly retook the district headquarters com- pound which the Viet Cong had held for nearly 24 hours. The rangers also were said to have recaptured two 150 m.m. howitzers the Viet Cong had seized earlier In the day. A U.S. spokesman said the Viet- namese captured a large stock of Viet Cong weapons, including a 57 m.m. recoilless cannon, three ma- chine guns, a flame-thrower and about 80 small arms. Paid for Gains But the rangers paid for their gains with losses of at least 30 dead and 15 wounded. It was ex- pected that final casualty counts would take days to prepare. A Vietnamese army battalion of 300-400 sent to Dong Xoai as the first reinforcement yesterday was cut to pieces. All three American advisers with the battalion are listed as missing. An initial government force of around 400 men at Dong Xoai when the attack began was bad- ly mauled and of about 21 Ameri- cans ther'e all were believed to be casualties. Final Assault Then came the final ranger as- sault with 30 more killed and 15 wounded. Losses on the Viet Cong side could not be estimated but were presumed to be very high, espe- cially in view of the large num- ber of enemy weapons captured. All day long, Dong Xoa and the jungle around it were saturated with blockbusters, napalm, rockets and cannon fire from American warplanes. The air attack also had its cost. Two helicopters were shot down, one of them exploding in a fire- ball, and dozens of other helicop- ters and planes were hit. Battle Turned Corner But it appeared the corner had been turned against an enemy force estimated to be about 1500 hard core troops. ;Meanwhile, North Viet Nam called on its people "to be ready to join the army" when they are called, charging that the "U.S. imperialists had intensified their -Associated Press PHAN HUY QUAT, left, premier of South Viet Nam, receives a delegation of Hoa Hao religious sect members yesterday. The group pledged support to Quat who has accused his chief of state of balking attempts to settle the political cris aggressive war in South Viet Nam and started a war against North Viet Nam." Hanoi radio quoted a defense ministry communique especially aimed at the youths to expand the movement of army volunteers so that they can take "direct part in destroying the enemy" to save the country. Peking Broadcast A Peking broadcast quoted the+ North Vietnamese Communist par-+ ty journal Nhan Dan as saying; the United States has made an "open declaration of war" against+ the Viet Cong. President Lyndon B. "Johnson's open order for U.S. troops to par- ticipate directly in the fighting in+ South Viet Nam is rousing the deep hatred of our people as a whole for the U.S. aggressors," the broadcast said.+ The White House stated Wed- nesday that American forces could be employed in support of Viet- namese when other effective re- serves are not available and when the American 'commander in Viet Nam decides the military situa- tion urgently requires it. Political Crisis In Saigon, the commanders of South Viet Nam's four military corps areas-some of the young officers who wield strong military and political power in the country --met yesterday morning to dis- cuss the political crisis. Premier Phan Huy Quat has admitted an inability to solve the situation. He said he was calling on Vietnamese military leaders to settle the crisis, which was trig- gered by his dispute with Chief of State Phan Khac Suu over cabinet replacements. Roman Catholics are seeking Quat's ouster. They accuse him of discrimination against Catholics and of leaning toward neutralism in the war. Maj. Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu, defense minister and the only military man remaining in Quat's cabinet, conferred with Suu. American Raids American planes continued to bomb Viet Nam yesterday. For the sixth consecutive day, the planes bombed Vinh, a large city with a variety of important military installations, 160 miles south of Hanoi. Eight air force F105 fighter-bombers hit the Vinh supply depot with support from 16 fighters. Hours later, eight U.S. Navy A4 skyhawks from the carrier Bon Homme Richard hit the Vinh army bar- racks with 10 tons of bombs. .^M::.'rrr ."r .": .":: V': Vt.:K:V.KV."4,"".".:Vt :::M 2't.1"V ."

The unmanned spaceship was expected to attempt a soft land- ing on the moon today. Tass said Luna 6 would miss the moon be- cause an engine failed to turn off after correcting Luna's course. Scientific experiments are con- tinuing with the moon rocket, the announcement added. Second Try The Russians tried last month to land Luna 5 on the moon softlyenough for its instruments to send back the first data col- lected directly on the lunar sur- face. Its braking engines appar- ently failed to slow the unmanned spaceship enough and it crashed May 12. An announcement then said in- formation had been gained for another try. Luna 6, launched Tuesday, ap- parently was the second try, al- though in there was no advance word on exactly what was being attempted. Admit Failure An announcement distributed by Tass contained an unusual Soviet admission that something had failed in their space program. It said: "The automatic 'Luna 6, sta- tion will pass at a distance of 160,000 kilometers from the moon. "During a correction maneuver on June 9, an engine was suc- cessfully turned on and function- ed. But it was not possible to switch it off. "As a result the flight's trajec- tory deviated from the planned course." The Tass announcement was the first report of a change in the flight course. Tass said the correction maneuver was attempt- ed "toward the end of the day." Broke Silence The announcement broke a silence of more than 24 hours on the progress of the flight. The last official announcement, is- sued Wednesday said Luna 6 was 143,000 miles from Earth and all systems were functioning nor- mally. The official announcement said that during the correction ma- neuver, the engine was turned on and oriented properly "but the command for switching off the engine was not complied with and the station's trajectory deviated from the planned course" The Russians never admitted officially that the last moon shot, Luna 5, had failed. They only implied it. Luna 5 They had announced in ad- vance that Luna 5 would test soft landing equipment for the first time. After the landing they said only that it had "hit the moon" and that valuable data was gained for further testing of the soft landing system.

This is the fourth in a series of five articles covering the last three sessions of the conference. By JOHN MEREDITH "Soviet educational policy is confronted by two conflicting forces," Prof. Nicholas DeWitt of Indiana University said at last weekend's "Conference on the Khrushchev Era and After." "On one hand is the role of education in the transformation of Russian society; on the other is the educational ideal of developing the Soviet citizen as an individual." At the moment, according to DeWitt, Soviet education is aimed Heading for Silver Lake at developing the basic functional skills needed for productive em- ployment as soon as possible. Conflict "This conflicts with the indi- vidual's interest in upward social mobility," he said. Speaking on "Recent Shifts in Manpower Training Policy," De- Witt outlined several key issues facing Soviet education today. Near the top of the list, he said, I is the controversy over the best method of preparing students forc technical employment.1 Under Stalin technical training was given in an academic context. The Russians have since broken away from this, DeWitt said, with policy in the Khrushchev era ranging from very specialized technical training to a broad background in industrial skills. Problems of Specialization "Very specialized training has created problems because students often do not end up in the par- ticular line of work for which they were prepared," he explain- ed. "Some contend, however, that a broader background is so1 general that it is useless."; The current trend, he said, is toward a shorter, accelerated pro- gram with practical industrial ex-f perience included in the final he sees "no reason for gloom or phases of a student's education. doom" at this time.
