fighting during the last two days.
There was no word on govern-
ment casualties, but one uncon-
firmed report said the airborne
troops, one of the South's elite
forces, had some losses.
The government troops are aim-
ing to cross the Thach H a n
River, which flows northeast in-
to the Cua Viet river, passing
between Quang Tri and the De-
militarized Zone.
Latest reports said they were
two miles short of the river,
while government marines, push-
ing north to the east of Quang
Tri, are some five miles from
the waterway.
In other action near Saigon,
South Vietnamese forces lay in
wait and then attacked a North
Vietnamese battalion infiltrating
from Cambodia northwest of Sai-
gon. Military sources reported
heavy communist losses in the
fierce battle.

South Vietnamese planes spot-
ted the battalion, launched a ser-

artillery. Ground forces then at-
tacked nine miles south of the
provincial capital of Tay Ninh,
which is about 50 miles northwest
of Saigon.
During five hours of fighting,
87 communist troops were killed.
Government soldiers reported
capturing rockets, mortars, ma-
chine guns, military uniforms
and equipment and 20 bags of
rice. The South Vitnamese re-
ported three wounded.
