contracting agency was approved by a vote of 5081 to 2748.
The funding proposal failed by a vote of 4436 to 3028.
Students further expressed sentiment against the war in

burn city
in south
SAIGON P) - North Vietnamese
troops attacked Duc Duc, a north-
ern district capital, and burned
most of the town before withdraw-
ing yesterday. It was the second
Communist blow this week in the
area south of Da Nang.
To the northwest, there was no
word from the Black Panther
strike force, an elite group of 200-
300 South Vietnamese flown into
southern Laos to assault a Com-
munist base.
In the central highlands, two U.S.
Army helicopters were reported
shot down 27 miles northwest of
Kontum, killing one crewman and
wounding one.
The attack on Duc Duc, a town of
about 10,000 located 25 miles
southwest of the Da Nang base, be-
gan with a mortar barrage Sunday
followed by a ground probe. That
was the day Communist snipers
struck Firebase Mary Ann, 40
miles south of Da Nang, inflicting
severe U.S. casualties. It was not
known whether the two assaults
were related.
Duc Duc, formerly known as An
Hoa, is in a major refugee reset-
tlement area.
Field reports said 200 Vietnamese
civilians were killed or wounded
at Duc Duc, 18 regional militiamen
were killed and 36 wounded and
1,000 houses were burned. One U.S.
soldier was wounded slightly.
An American who flew over Duc
Duc said it looked "like a big ash
tray."
Despite their losses, the South
Vietnamese never lost control of
the district headquarters, although
reinforcements were unable to
break into the town until early yes-
terday. U.S. helicopters immediate-
ly began evacuating the wounded.
It was not known why the North
Vietnamese attacked Duc Due,
about 40 miles east of the Laotian
border in a river valley at the base
of jungled mountains.
It appeared possible that in at-
tacking Duc Duc and Mary Ann,
the North Vietnamese were at-
tempting to counter the South Viet-
namese drive into Laos that ended
last week.
CITY ELECTIONS
Tensions dominate

Monday's city elections.

Fears on the part of the rad-

Garris has declared, "I will
support our city police whole-

final barrier of our very sur-

view the police much the same
as I view the military: you must
have community control."
