Cam pus Security Chief Ed Powell warns. Powell used a graphic example to illustrate his warning. “Two magazine salesmen re cently went into a freshman’s room here,” he related. “They had no permits to be selling any thing on campus. Unable to sell the boy any magazines, they tried a story about winning points for scholarships to college.” /\lorelco • Continental‘175’ Compact Cassette Portable Tape Recorder Cordless!

Viets Step Up Invasion With New Artillery Barrage By EDWIN Q. WHITE SAIGON (A>> — North Vietna mese heavy artillery hit the U. S. Marines’ Khe Sanh base for the first time late Wednesday. Ex plosion of the big shells all but muffled an accompanying rain of lighter projectiles—motar rounds and rockets. A 30-minute barrage from Com munist batteries signaled a stepup in the military confrontation in the Khe Sanh hill country, a de fensive American array against invasion from the North that has brought the threat of the war’s biggest battles to the critical sec tor below the demilitarized zone. THERE WAS n o immediate word of casualties or results of counterfire from American bat teries at the base, headquarters of the reinforced 26th Marine Regiment on a red clay bluff three miles north of the town of Khe Sanh. Marine spokesmen said 150 shells spewed from the long-range Red guns, perhaps moved by hand into the Annamite Mountains just as the Communists positioned mountain howitzers for the siege that forced surrender of the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. SOME WERE of 152 mm— about six inches in diameter. Rus sian-built guns of this size had been used previously by North Vietnamese artillerymen against Con Thien and Gio Linh, Marine outposts farther east in flatlands between the mountains and the South China Sea. They can lob a shell more than 16 miles. A Marine spokesman said the shooting came from the northeast, either within South Vietnam or in the southern edge of the DMZ, 13 miles away. From closer at hand, enemy mortar and rocket squads that have been in action since last Saturday poured in about 250 rounds. ASSOCIATED PRESS corres pondent Peter Arnett reported from the Marine headquarters at Da Nang that Marine observation posts on the Hill 881 and Hill 861, two of three strategic peaks the Leathernecks wrested from Hanoi regulars in a bloody campaign last soring, again came under sporadic mortar attacks. Four thousand North Vietnamese were estimated to be operating in that northwest comer of South Viet nam, with more on the way. Allied policy forbids ground troops from crossing the DMZ to seek out on their home grounds the North Vietnamese army ele ments concentrated within the southern panhandle. The Marines and their South Vietnamese allies have to dig in to hold against Communist thrusts such as the month-long artillery siege of Con Thien last September. HARASSMENT of the poten tial reinforcements for an all-out enemy push within South Viet nam’s two upper provinces, which captured documents have shown Hanoi covets, is limited largely to air strikes. Landbased artillery and naval guns work over some of the closer staging areas. Gen. William C. Westmoreland said a week ago he anticipated “a resurgence of enemy, initia tives just before or just after Tet ” the Vietnamese lunar new year Jan. 30, and that the next major campaign would develop in the 1st Corps area just below the “MOST OF the Communist in itiatives have political motives,” the commander of U. S. forces in Vietnam said in an interview. “Tet is an emotional time when families and friends gather. Any display of strength would benefit the enemy both phychologically and politically.” Enemy mortar, rocket and in fantry attacks that flared in the Khe Sanh sector last Saturday bore out his forecast. A Marine officer said the ene my’s concentration in that sector may be only one of several threats, adding: “We expect all- out attacks.” A SENIOR U. S. officer in Saigon said North Vietnam has put a new division of about 10,000 troops into South Vietnam along DMZ. He identified it as the 304th and said intelligence indicated it was one of the major units as signed to an offensive aimed at knocking out U. S. forces in the north. A captured North Vietnamese lieutenant was quoted as having told his interrogators that a North Vietnamese build-up in the area of the DMZ was aimed at “destroying American forces.” “A victory would be followed by negotiations,” he said. THE PRESENCE of the new division means the North Viet namese have three full divisions and perhaps a fourth in or within striking distance of South Viet nam’s northern frontier. Officers said this force would number from 32,600 t o 40,000 regular troops, with additional support elements and guerrilla forces. Confronting them now in the two northern provinces—Quang Tri and Thua Thien—are about 50,000 U. S. troops and 12,000 South Vietnamese soldiers. Of these, somewhat more than 5,000 Marines are in the Khe Sanh area. THE DEFECTING lieutenant was quoted as saying the Com munist battle plan is considered so crucial it is under the direction of the Hanoi Defense Ministry, head ed by Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap. Giap was the mastermind of the Com munist victory at Dien Bien Phu. With Marine forces stretched thin all along the DMZ, the U. S. command recently moved a Ma rine regiment and an Air Caval ry brigade up from areas south to Da Nang. These moves involved about 10,000 men and took regu lar Army troops that far north for the first time in the war. “WITH FORCES this size in such a small area,” said one high U. S. officer, “you’re getting something a lot closer to conven tional warfare than guerrilla war fare.” Because the northern area af fords the enemy the shortest lines of supply and so far the sanctuary of the 17th parallel border, it has long been developing as one of the bloodiest areas of the continued fighting.
