SIMONS SAIGON. (API—North Vietnam’s regulars have taken a beating—a Dien Bien Phu in reverse—in the jsttle of Con Thien, U.S. military mthorities announced Wednesday. MASSIVE AMERICAN fire power was officially credited nith breaking the back of the nonth-long artillery siege of Con Thien and other Marine outposts overlooking Red infiltration routes just below the demilitar ized zone. Mud-stained Leathernecks help ed in static defense, a posture alien to their combat training, to turn the tables against poten tial invasion of the strategic upper tier of South Vietnam’s provinces. There was the caution, however, that Ho Chi Minh’s forces may try again to wipe out Marine lines with the help of Viet Cong and infiltrated North Vietnamese in the hinterland be low the DMZ. GEN. WILLIAM C. Westmore- Breaks Thien land, the U.S. commander, told newsmen in Da Nang the enemy has suffered a crushing defeat, but there may be such a “resur gence of effort.” In air operations U.S. squad rons, which struck as close as 10 miles to Red China’s frontier Tuesday and bombed two bridges that the Pentagon had previous ly ruled off limits, lashed again at North Vietnam. A broadcast dispatch from Ha noi, unconfirmed bjf American authorities in Saigon, declared eight planes were shot down. The North Vietnamese said four of the eight fell during attacks on the repeatedly raided port of Haiphong. Westmoreland and Cushman, who met in Da Nang, and Ameri can spokesmen in Saigon assessed gains in the DMZ phase of a war that is again under critical exam ination in the U.S. Senate. INTELLINGENCE sources es timated the Communists had lost 3,000 men killed or wounded, nearly three times the casualties among the Marines, since launch ing daily barrages against Con Thien Sept. 1. Spokesmen said that, though there was no sign of a general withdrawal of the 35,000 North Vietnamese estimated to be based in and near the DMZ, aerial re connaissance showed groups in retreat from abandoned gun pits. Westmoreland told a Washing ton Star reporter: “They tried to make another Dien Bien Phu of Con Thien. Instead, we made it a Dien Bien Phu in reverse.” THE ARTILLIERY concentrat- ted by the North Vietnamese against Con Thien was their heaviest since defeat of a French force in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu, in the hills west of Hanoi, led France to pull out of Indochina. But the Red barrages, at times topping 1,000 rounds a day, were far outweighed by the American counterfire. Land-based U.S. artillery lob bed 6,000 shells daily at known and suspected Communist posi tions, and hundreds of others in direct duelling with Communist guns. U.S. 7th Fleet warships hurled in shells from the sea. B52 Stratofortresses cast down more than 7,500 tons of explosives and their little brothers, the jet fighter-bombers, swarmed in squadron by squadron. Westmore land has called this the heaviest concentration of conventional fire power in history. Elsewhere action was generally light and scattered. U.S. PILOTS flew 106 missions over North Vietnam Tuesday de spite spotty weather.
