C20, Y961 TR'EE MICN11G.AN DAILY 20, 1981 THE MICHIGAN DAILY South Viet Nam Rebels Hit Provincial Capital; Fear Assault on Saigon Katanga Bars Appointee Of Leopoldville Regime LOPSIDED VOTE: Filibuster Bi11 Dies Communist T ps Ra 'World News Round,1 II F By The Associated Press Phuoc Thaub SAIGON P)-The rebel attack on the provincial capital ofPhuoc Thanh raised the possibility yes- terday that Communist forces are opening a major assault against the government in South Viet Nam's civil war.. A .series of attacks around the country in the past few days was climaxed when hundreds of Com- munist Viet Cong rebels seized and burned Phuoc Thanh early Mon. day. It was the first assault on a pro- vincial capital and the most dar- ing rebel raid of the war. The city is only 60 miles north of this cap- ital. Some observers here fear the action may herald the opening of a long-expected assault of major proportions. The rebels have -been steadily building up their strength with reinforcements from Com- munist North Viet Nam in recent months. The province chief, an army ma- jor, and a number of his military and civil aides were beheaded at Phouc Thanh. Several dozen de- fending civil guardsmen were kill- ed. About 50 wounded were rushed back to Saigon. well informed government cir-1 cles speculated that the Viet Cong rebels are massing for larger hit and run attacks on government bases with the purpose of keep- ing major government forces tied down in defensive positions while the rebels build new bases.

LEOPOLDVILLE () - The pro- Communist Lumumbist named by The Congo's central government last week to take over the ad- ministration of Katanga returned empty-hande4 yesterday. Egide Bochely-Davidson found himself impeded by a bullet- punctuated state of siege at Elis- abethville, the provincial capital. He spent his whole stay there at the UN-guarded airport, never setting foot within the town: A UN plane brought him back to Leopoldville. Anti-Aircraft Guns Pilots told newsmen the Ka- tangans now have rigged up anti- aircraft guns around the Elisa- bethville airport in a bid to pre- vent both the landing and takeoff of UN planes. There were unconfirmed rumors that Katanga troops, still roving through much of Elisabethville, captured the UN hospital there. A spokesman reported that the morale of UN troops in Elisabeth- ville is high, nevertheless. There was sporadic firing throughout the night and skirmishing at a UN roadblock and around the postoffice. Indians Return Six Indian Gurkhas who had been reported missing returned to their unit. But there still was no firm news of the situation of 158 Irish sol- diers captured at the mining town of Jadotville some 60 miles away. The UN has said it believes they are being treated reasonably well,. but nevertheless is gravely con- cerned for their safety. The UN also reported that the airport of its big Kamina base in north Katanga still is firmly held by 500 Swedish, Irish and Malay- an troops. Esther Slams Toward Coast Of Carolinas CAPE HATTERAS UP)-Twen- ty-five foot swells battered the North Carolina outer banks last night as Hurricane Esther in- creased a lumbering landward gait that would carry her along the populous eastern seaboard, with winds clocked at 130 mph., At 6 p.m. (EST) the Weather Bureau placed the hurricane 240 miles southeast of Hatteras. The Weather Bureau called the storm "large and dangerous" and said its center should pass "not far from but to the east of Cape Hatteras" tomorrow morning. Hurricane warnings were display- ed from Cherry Point, N.C., to the Virginia capes. In Leopoldville flags flew at half staff for the death of Dag Hammarskjold. Prime Minister Cyrille Adoula declared a day of national mourning in honor of a man who was "the protector of small states faced by imperial menaces and western neo-colon- ialism.' The Congo, declared Adoula in a communique, has become the victim of "western financial pok- er" and "scandalous interference in its internal affairs by certain foreign countries." Many free world diplomats in the Congolese capital were con- cerned at the apparent anti- Western gist of Adoula's remarks. 'Pamphletts Battle' Rages DETROIT (P) - A battle-of- pamphlets blazed yesterday at the Episcopal General Convention af- terp the growing movement for Christian unity. Material both denouncing the trend and applauding it was pass- ed out ' at booths in an exhibit room, and among the swarms of church representatives in cor- ridors outside the convention ses- sions. "Individualism versus collectiv- ism," proclaims one of various cir- culars assailing organized efforts "for interdenominational coopera- tion. Declares another: 'No Church' "We might well wake up some morning and find there was no Episcopal Church left." In rebuttal,an array of docu- ments, drawn up by official Epis- copal agencies, were being cir- culated calling the charges "mis- representative of the facts." The subject of church unity was a prime item on the agenda at the convention, which is to act on a'broad-scale plan for merger negotiations with Presbyterians, Methodists and the United Church of Christ.- Challenge Council Also under challenge was the Episcopal Church's continued membership in the National Council of Churches. Much of the pamphleteering. campaign was directed at the Na- tional Council, terming it a "pro- paganda machine," and "aid to the communist conspiracy," and a "Protestant Vatican." Other leaflets carried titles such as "Dangerous Trends Within Protestantism," and "The Threat of Communism and the Task of Christians." Some also assailed the United Nations and federal welfare programs. WASHINGTON (P)--The Sen- ate dealt sudden death yesterday to a move to change its rule for shutting off filibusters. By an unexpectedly lopsided vote of 43 to 37 it refused to lim- it debate on the move and then went on to smother the proposal itself by a 47-35 vote. Sen. Mike Mansfield (Mont), the Democratic leader, said as far as' he was concerned that settled the matter for this year and next year too. Mansfield said the voting "work- ed out in a way I did not antici- pate." In view of the failure to muster even a majority in favor of his petition to limit debate, he said he saw no point in en- gaging in "sham battles or fake engagements." The outcome was a major vic- tory for Southern members who contended the proposed rules change was a politically inspired move to ease the way for civil rights legislation. "This movemtochange the rules is nothing more than politics," said Sen. Russell B. Long (D- La). "It does great violence to the Senate." ' Long contended that what he called the right of free debate has not blocked civil rights bills in the past, but has made it possi- ble "to eliminate the most obnox- ious and ridiculous provisions" in1 them. Sen. Sam J. Ervin, Jr. (D-NC) and Sen. Herman Talmadge (D- Ga) also denounced what they called an attack on free debate in the Senate. Ervin said in some parts of the country it has be- come "politically popular to chas- tise the South," and Talmadge said some politicians want to gag the Senate "because it doesn't pass laws fast enough to suit them." On the other hand Sen. Jacob KONRAD ADENAUER ... another term? I m K. Javits (R-NY) urged the S ate before the voting started seize the opportunity to strike what he called "the shackles" the present filibuster rule. After the vote Javits told I Senate he did not consider I outcome a "reversal,' but rat] the result of an "ill-timed mov by the Democratic and Repul can leadership. "We will have another oppo tunity next year," he said. However, Mansfield said in re) to questions by Sen. Kenneth Keating (R-NY) that he cons ered the issue dead in the 87 Congress. The 87th runs throu next year. N the most versatile clutch bag we know of is our grained leather hold-all .. a soft, supple, 5%" x 10" pouchy casual that goes just about every- where.

Prospects were good for settle- ment of a strike that eight days ago shut down most of GM's 129 plants and idled more than 250,- 000 of the company's 350,000 hourly workers in the United States. The UAW set today as the tar- get date for ending the strike. 'The union's GM council will meet /here at 2 p.m. to decide whether to recommend acceptance or re- jection of the proposed contract by rank and file members.
