SAIGON (1 - The battle for An Loc raged into its third
day this morning as a tank-led North Vietnamese infantry
column launched a new attempt to seize the bitterly defend-
ed provincial capital 60 miles north of Saigon.
After a barrage of 300 rockets and recoilless rifle shells,
the North Vietnamese attacked from the north with nine
tanks. Eight were reportedly destroyed by ground troops with
anti-tank weapons and U.S. fighter-bombers and gunships.
Meanwhile, U. S. B52 bomnbers kept up heavy attacks on
North Vietnamese troops around the city with 12 more strikes

day and were driven back in dis-

in the battle said.
Nevertheless, An Loc's defend-
ers claimed at dusk they had dis-
lodged North Vietnamese troops
from all but two blocks in the
northern part of the town, 60
miles north of Saigon. An enemy
attack led by tanks had captured
the northern section of the pro-
vincial capital Thursday.
There were no official reports
on the retreat described by the
shaken Vietnamese infantry offi-
cer.
The man, who asked not to be
named for fear of official retalia-
tion, said armored personnel car-
riers moving toward An Loc broke
under furious rocket fire. The col-

attacks in the same general area
for three days.
The panic of some drivers was

Fleming said, "I am pleased to
have a man of Henry Johnson's
ability and experience in his pro-
fessional field - on this campus
and in the community - assume
the important post of vice presi-

While members of the search

were pleased that Fleming had
chosen Johnson from their list,
there was some doubt as to whe-
ther Fleming had considered the
entire list in making his decision.
The other three candidates for
the post were Education Prof.
Murray Jackson, Robert Ross, a
researcher at the Institute for So-
cial Research. and Elaine Reu-
ben, an English professor at the
University of Wisconsin.
Reuben has said that as of
Tuesday, ahe had not been offi-

name was being considered for the
vice presidency, nor had she spok-

mittee submitted its list.

A demonstrator detained by po-
lice while picketing the Commis-
sion on Professional and Hos~tal

been arraigned on charges o'f as-
sault and battery and blocking
employes from using the plant's
driveway.

Gockel, a non-CPHA worker, is
the first of five demonstrators de-
tained by police in the last three
weeks to be arrested. Students and
members of local unions have dur-
ing that time joined striking
CPHA employes in picketing the
hospital records corporation.
Gockel's case is scheduled to be-
gin June 29.
He said yesterday that he was
confident that he will be acquit-
ted. "It's something I didn't do,"
he said. "I can't really see that
they've got much of a case at all."
Gockel said police detained him
when he rolled off the fender of
a CPHA employe's car, as demon-
strators joined picket lines. The
car accelerated too fast to allow
him to get out o'f the way, he sai&
A policeman approached him
and began to grab him "as if he
wanted to shake me up,'" Gockel
added.
The demonstrator then brushed
the policeman's hands away, he
said. "I wouldn't let him man-
handle me." However, he claimed
charges of assault were untrue.
Gockel was taken to the police
station where he was released
pending issue of a civil arrest
warrant.
The CPHA strike began seven
weeks ago over the issues of work-
ing conditions and the establish-
ment of a union shop. Negotiations
are now in process between com-
pany management and the union-
ized workers - members of UAW
Local 157. Management officials,
however, have thus far refused to
give ground on the union shop is-
sue, which members feel is cru-
cial to their union's survival..
The exhibition games at Crisler
will include singles play by the
Chinese and doubles play between
mixed Chinese-American teams.
The team will leave for Metro
