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 war supplies from the Conference Chinese vesseIs, blocked from entering the port by " U.S. mines. o exam ine American military sources claim North Vietnam has b-en TT trying with only limited suc- U ex bias cess to circumvent the U.S. munes by unloading supplies on "Women's Work Has Just islands off Vinh and Haiphong Begun: Legal Problems of Em- and bringing t h e m , inland ploying Women in the Univer- aboard barges. sities-including back pay in Americangpilots flew more cases of sex discrimination and than 220 strikes over the North institutional compliance with on Tuesday and damaged or de- federal guidelines-will be prob- stroyed 11 bridges, 13 ware- ed at a two-day seminar Friday houses, 30 trucks and eight and Saturday. supply boats, the U.S. Command The conference, at the Michi- announced.

(/) - 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- Two question and answer panels are part of the program and discussion groups Friday night will draw upon the mem- bers of the seminar faculty and University faculty and staff.

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- courage those in Congress who See MAYORS, Page 7 Gay Pride Week, June 19-25 These women stoll yesterday in a Seattle park, enjoying the sunshine and the company of a little girl.
