N. Viet navy
bases hit by
U.S. bombs
SAIGON ()-U.S. jets attacked two more North Viet-
namese navy bases near Vinh in an effort to prevent the
unloading of war supplies from Chinese ships anchored off
the port, U.S. military spokespersons announced yesterday.
Spokespersons for the 7th Fleet* said Navy pilots in
Tuesday's raids destroyed a pier at the Vinh boatyard four
miles northeast of the port and damaged a pier at the Hai
Yen naval base two miles away.
Navy fighter-bombers also attacked two storage areas
about 30 miles northwest of the main port of Haiphong and
pilots reported two secondary explosions.
The raids at Vinh, 145 miles north of the demilitarized
zone and 170 miles south of Haiphong, were aimed at
stopping transshipment of

O Ks Nixon war
NEW ORLEANS, La. (/) - A
conference of the nation's may-
ors overwhelmingly reversed its
stand yesterday and endorsed
President Nixon's policy on Vi-
etnam after a passionate appeal
by Democratic Mayor Richard
Daley of Chicago.
Some 350 mayors and city
rEpresentatives at the U.S. Con-
farence of Mayors annual meet-
ing also voted without debate
72-55 to duck the issue of school
busing to achieve racial segre-
gation.
The mayors also voted to ap-
prove for the first time a reso-
lution urging new national laws
against sale and private posses-
sion of handguns. It also called
for national legislation against
the manufacture and importa-
tion of hand guns, except for
use by law enforcement person-
nel, the military and sports-
men's clubs.
The mayors cheered, stomped
their feet and shouted as Daley
climaxed the Vietnam debate
by saying, "In the name of God,
let us stand behind the Presi-
dent and hope and pray he can
end it tomorrow."
Daley said, "No one will do
more to work against a Repub-
lican candidate for president
,than I will, but I don't think
when a man is president - we
have him, as we've seen in this
country, in the despicable con-

door of hotels, afraid to come
out in the public because of
what was going on because of
this situation in Vietnam."
It was a rare and dramatic
appearance by Daley on the
floor of the conference. He was
not present last year when the
mayors voted for the first time
in their history to call for U.S.
withdrawal from Vietnam by a
specific date - Dec. 31, 1971.
A group of liberal big city
mayors tried to update that
resolution by changing the date
to Oct. 1, 1972, and adding a
provision that withdrawals be
condit'- 'd on release of U. S.
prison. .s of war by that date.
The pro-Nixon resolution
stated that, "All United States
air, land and sea forces shall be
withdrawn from South Vietnam
by a date certain and not later
than four months after the
conclusion of an internationally
supervised ceas" -fire throughout
Indochina, the release of all
prisoners and an accounting for
all those missing in action."
J. Marsh Thomson, an aide to
Vice President Spiro Agnew who
was among the federal offic-
ials here lobbying for the Presi-
dent's position on the war and
other issues said, "This is what
we hoped for. The mayors have
reacted overwhelmingly. T h e
vote was by cities of all sizes
and was bipartisan. The initia-
tives taken by the President last
year were recognized by the
mayors."
Mayor Robert Harris said in
attacking the pro-Nixon reso-
lution, "We haven't accounted
for everyone missing from the
first World War. That provision
is not realistic."
Harris added tl, " did not
think anyone in the room would
live long enough to see a cease-
ire by all the parties fighting
in Indochina,
"Please, please," he said, "en-
