WHITE SAIGON (&) — A Viet Cong battalion ravaged a South Viet namese village in the central highlands near the Cambodian frontier Tuesday with grenades and flame throwers. About 50 casualties were listed in varied reports from the scene, none con firmed. Whether for sheer terrorism or an effort to lure allied troops to some nearby battelground of the Communists’ choosing, about 400 guerrillas knifed in early morn ing darkness into Dak Song, a “New Life” hamlet on Highway 14 about 130 miles northeast of Saigon. The U. S. mission said its latest reports were that the Viet Cong killed about 20 persons, wounded 30 and burned 30 or 40 homes. Another account said four mili tiamen and a civilian had been killed, 15 persons were wounded and 29 were missing. COMMUNICATIONS with the area were difficult. The U. S. mission’s first word was that the Viet Cong had killed 300 villagers. This would have been the worst terrorist at tack of the war. Later, however, Wilbur Wilson, an American official, relayed the 20-30 figures to Saigon, remark ing that the casualty toll “is much reduced.” Wilson is assist ant director of the U. S. Civil Operations and Revolutionary De velopment Support office for the area in which Dak Song is lo cated. THE “NEW LIFE” hamlets are government-sponsored settle ments ordinarily considered for midable targets for any Com munist forays. The people of Dak Song, like most of those in South OSC Recruiters To Be On Campus The U. S.

A&M Debate Coach Michael Hairgrove said debaters and con testants in individual events were rated according to their perform ances rather than being ranked by teams. A&M’s Ron Hinds of Midland and James Byrd of Houston post ed two wins and two losses in debate. They downed Baylor and Texas A&I teams, but bowed to McMurry and Lamar State Col lege. Bob Peek of Jacksboro received perfect scores in extemporaneous speaking to attain a “superior” rating. Hinds garnered an “ex cellent” rating. Peek and Hinds achieved “good” ratings in prose interpre tation. The A&M debaters, 12-12 for the season, next will compete in the Mardi-Gras Speech Tour nament at New Orleans at the end of the fall semester. Computer Helps Award Grants Texas A&M students seeking financial aid may find help in a new educational computer serv ice in Princeton, N. J. Robert M. Logan, Student Aid director at A&M, said each stu dent is required to pay a one-time computer-processing fee of $15 for the service. Logan said the student employ ing the service fills out a detailed confidential questionnaire about himself, his background and his objectives. The questionnaire is returned to ECS, where the com puter, in seconds, matches the student’s qualifications against the requirements of over 700,000 items of scholarships and grants worth $500 million. After the student’s qualifica tions are matched, the computer types a personalized letter to the student, telling him what schol arships he is eligible for, and when and where to apply. Vietnam’s mountain villages, ap parently are Montagnards, tribal groups which sometimes fight the Viet Cong as irregulars under the direction of U. S. Green Beret advisors. Wilson said information he had received so far gave no indica tion why the hamlet had been attacked, with the resulting casu alties to civilians and destruction of homes. There has been some feeling in official quarters that an intensi fied series of Communist attacks —chiefly mortar barrages—in re cent weeks have been designed to demonstrate that the Saigon government cannot provide secur ity for people in outlying areas. DAK SONG LIES between Loc Ninh and Dak To, where Ameri can and government troops crushed two heavy Communist offensive thrusts last month. It is 55 miles northeast of Bu Dop, where American and Vietnamese troops turned back a Red assault last week. U. S. officers viewed the string of fights as an indication that the enemy was seeking to build up his forces along the moun tainous frontier and perhaps draw in American battalions to fight on fields selected by the Red high command. THIS SCHOOL of thought holds that the Communist strat egy is to bring about engage ments, even at the cost of heavy casualties, in some isolated areas and force allied troops to move from regions in which they have been conducting intensive pacifi cation efforts. The border areas along Cam bodia and Laos provide the most likely ground for such endeavors because of the sanctuary they of fer for enemy forces. ELSEWHERE in the war, the U. S. Command disclosed that a new Navy jet, the A7 Corsair II. has made its debut in combat. A flight of these light attack bomb ers, taking off from the carrier Ranger, made their first strikes Monday over North Vietnam. Spokesmen said the Corsairs, which can carry 15,000 pounds of explosives at nearly 600 miles an hour, heavily damaged a bridee near Vinh, 150 miles south of Hanoi, with five-inch rockets. A squadron of the planes, which cost $1.4 million each, is aboard the Ranger. OFFICERS CHECKING over the scene of a battle Monday in the Mekong Delta 66 miles south west of Saigon said it was the burial ground of the Viet Cong’s 502nd Local Force Battalion. They counted 235 dead from the battalion, estimated to have had only 300 efectives at the outset of an 11-hour fight against 1,500 of the allies of the Mobile Riverine Force—Vietnamese ma rines, American infantrymen and U. S. Navy men. At least four of the dead guerrillas were women. “I LAUGHED WHEN MY ROOMMATE TOOK NoDoz!’ -writes Private J. B., now of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. “No Bill can stop you from flunking out,” I scoffed. “Well, he’s there. And I’m here. Take warning from my sad case. And take NoDoz to help you stay with it.” Actually, our young warrior is right: NoDoz can’t work miracles. But it can help, any time you’re drowsy or tired. For example: A cou ple of NoDoz can sharpen your mind and help you remember facts at exam time, or NoDoz can wake you up when you have to cram late at night. When driving makes you drowsy, NoDoz can bring you back to life. If a long lecture makes your attention wander,NoDoztothe rescue. Get the point? NoDoz can help you anywhere, any time, and it’s non habit forming. NoDoz. The scholar’s friend. 1 ALERT TABLETS , THE ONE TO TAKE WHEN YOU HAVE TO STAY ALERT.
