South Vietnamese headquarters in Plei- ku claimed that 157 Communist troops were killed and nine tanks were knocked out in the second day of the current fighting. It was reported that shortly before dusk South Vietnamese troops were a d v a n e i n g on pockets of communist troops still entrenched on the outskirts of Kontum. It was believed that if the communists could hold out until dark they could bring in rein- forcements for a renewed assault on the provincial capital in the central highlands. American military advisers in Kontum described the situation as under control. The North Vietnamese first penetrated the city early Thursday, pounded it with some 800 rounds of rockets and artillery later in the day and strengthened their attack force yesterday.

CEW has helped develop a special night school program for women who are unable to attend day classes. Offerings include a number of courses needed for University distribu- tion requirements. Although women who cannot attend day classes are given preference in electing these night courses, other students can enroll if there is room. In addition to counseling and the night school program, CEW has initiated two scholarship programs. An emergency fund for part-time students aided fifty women in 1971. Twenty merit scholarships were award- ed in April. CEW is currently consider- ing an experiment in counseling undergraduate women. said 12 enemy tanks were de- stroyed by U.S. wire-guided mis- siles, government artillery and hand-carried, single-shot 1 i g h t antitank weapons. Three of the tanks, the sources said, were U.S.-built M41s cap- tured from government troops by the North Vietnamese early in the day. South Vietnamese spokespersons, however, report- ed only nine tanks hit and made no mention of any captured ma- chines.

"Everything leads t h r o u g h Hainhng and Hanoi," an Ameri- can military spokesman said. "So if you cut the rail lines and the highway bridges, you cut every- thing else off." The pilots are reported con- tinuing attacks on industrial plants and ether bridges, in near- ly 300 strikes carried out Thurs- day but not reported until yes- terday.
