SAIGON (Reuter) - N o r t h
Vietnamese troops dealt a severe
blow to South Vietnamese hopes
of recapturing a central high-
lands border base by demolish-
ing the southern flank of a re-
lief column, military sources said
yesterday.
The South Vietnamese a r m y
spokesman said 30 government
troops were killed, two wve r e
wounded and 65 were still miss-
ing after a fierce 65-minute com-
munist assault 12 miles south-
west of Pleiku City on Tuesday.
THE OTHER 250 men from the
battalion of troops forming the
southern flank of a 7,000-man re-
lief column heading for Le Minh
Ranger Base retreated to the
operation headquarters outside
Pleiku leaving two forward bat-
talions exposed to attack from
three sides.
The spokesman said the gov-
ernment battalion reported kill-
ing 127 communist troops be-
fore pulling out of their position
south of the dirt road which
runs from Pleiku to the moun-
taintop base facing the Cambod-
ian border.
North Vietnamese and Viet
Cong troops have also crossed
from Cambodia into South Viet-
nam, massing for possible at-
tacks in the Mekong Delta and
Saigon regions, Western diplo-
matic sources said Thursday.
THE MOVEMENT, involving
four divisions, has been taking
place for the last few weeks and
may have a relation to the step-
ped-up level of fighting in Viet-
nam, the sources in the Cam-
bodian capital said.
In Phnom Penh the diplomatic
informants said North Vietnam's
5th Division moved across the
border into the region north of
Tay Ninh, while its 6th Division

crossed the frontier from south-
eastern Cambodia into the wes-
tern approaches to Saigon and
the delta.
Two other divisions; the 7th
and 9th, "just disappeared off
the Cambodian map" after mov-
ing across southeastern Cam-
bodia, the sources said.
STRENGTH of a North V i e t-
namese division is estimated at
about 6,000 to 7.000 men.
The most prominent specula-
tion was that North Vietnam in-
tended to reinforce its troops in
South Vietnam.
The communist ass_.ult on Le
Minh was not the first on that
base.
LE MINH was overrun in a
similar tank-backed assault by
the crack North Vietnamese
320th division in September.
President Nguyen Van Thieu
flew to Pleiku at the beginning of
October to urge the army to re-
spond "to an act of war with an
act of war."
Military sources said that now
that the southern flank of the
relief operation has disintegrated
the chances of the column reach-
ing the base were very slight.
ABOUT TWO WEEKS after the
fall of Le Minh Ranger Base
government troops, spearhead-
ed by a tank squadron, set out
from Pleiku City in searcn of the
North Vietnamese division.
But until last Tuesday, little
contact had been made with
communist troops which left the
base after overrunning govern-
ment air strikes."
Earlier yesterday, a Viet Cong
spokesman in Saigon said, "Our
forces in western Pleiku are har-
rassing the Saigon fortes to pun-
ish them for launching an im-
portant military operation in the
area in violation of the cease-

fire."
ELSEWHERE in the country,
the military command reported
a relatively high number of
Communist ceasefire violations.
Most of the violations were
ground and shelling attacks on
militia and infantry positions
throughout South Vietnams four
military regions.

WASHINGTON (A)-John Dun-
lop, director of the Cost of Living
Council, said yesterday he favors
continuing wage and price con-
trols into 1974.
He said it would be neither
desirable nor feasible to end
them in 1973.
LIFTING THEM before 1974,
he said, would bring about "a
magnitude of price increases
that would be unsatisfactory .."
Dunlop wad the first adminis-
tration official of his rank to

say he favored continuing the
controls into 1974. Under present
statutory limitations, the con-
trols expire April 30, 1974.
In another economic develop-
ment yesterday, new Agriculture
Department figures showed that
the annual retail cost of a mar-
ket basket of farm-produced food
declined $24 in September, the
sharpest drop in 17 years.
THE PRICE decline, the first
of the year, would have been

much larger had middlemen
passed along all the squeeze ab-
sorbed by farmers, the figures
indicated.
According to the department,
the cost of a year's food supply
for a theoretical household of
3.2 persons was $1,629 in Septem-
ber, down 1.5 per cent from a
record of $1,653 in August.
At a news briefing, Dunlop
said Congress tried to undermine
petroleum industry price con-
trols and said consumers will
face much higher price for heat-
ing oil and gasoline if Congress
is successful.
HE ALSO announced that he
has asked "Chrysler Corp. and
the United Auto Workers to send
representatives to a meeting to
discuss a recent wage agree-
ment for the auto workers.
President Nixon said last sum-
mer in announcing the Phase 4
anti-inflation program that he
hoped controls could be termi-
nated by the end of this year.

UAW, Ford intensify
talks to avert strike

DETROIT (UPI) - United
Auto Workers and Ford M o t o r
Co. headed into an intensified
negotiating session Thursday,
hoping to avert a national strike
by 185,000 workers against t h e
nation's second largest auta com-
pany at 10 a.m. EDT today.
ELSEWHERE, the UAW and
Chrysler Corp. were involved in
two more local disputes, in o r e
than a month after a national
contract was signed following a

nine-day strike. A walkout at an
assembly plant in Detroit was
settled quickly, but a strike con-
tinued at the Missouri truck as-
sembly plant at Fenton, Mo.
THE TALKS at. Ford's world
headquarters in Dearborn have
been under a news blackout
since Monday with the company
expected to agree to a new, three-
year pact which closely follows
the Chrysler .settlement.
