KK’s Warn Students Again
Texas A&M students should not
I
is
do business with any “campus”
salesmen who do not have the nec
essary university permits. 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.”

“They talked this student into
writing checks totaling $221,”
Powell continued, “explaining
that they would turn in the sales
to win their scholarships, then
tear up the checks without cash
ing them.”
The checks were cashed before
the youth’s father could stop pay
ment.
“It’s a prime example of a
swindle,” Powell pointed out.
“And anytime you give a stran
ger a check, you run the risk of
having the check ‘raised’ or al
tered.”

N. 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.

the Sixth Congressional District.
Congressman Teague was elected
to represent the Sixth Congres

to those residents of Fort Bend,
Waller, Washington and Austin

totally disabled veterans.
He was the principal sponsor
of the Veterans Administration
direct home loan program, which
extended V. A. housing benefits
to veterans living in small towns
and rural areas.
Recently Congressman Teague
successfully sponsored legislation
creating the Veterans Adminis
tration nursing care pro ram. This
is a program designed to assist
elderly veterans, such as World
War I veterans, in need of nurs
ing care.
