VC invasion seen
SAIGON <-dP) — A senior allied
commander said Wednesday a
North Vietnamese force equal to
five divisions is poised for a
thrust against the populated
coastal lowlands in South Viet
nam’s northern provinces.
The announcement was made
as North Vietnamese and Viet
Cong forces attacks in the north
ern sector of South Vietnam.
South Vietnamese Lt. Gen.
Hoang Xuan Lam did not fore
cast the time of a new Commu
nist command offensive, but
other allied commanders have
been predicting an enemy drive
in late October or early November
when the monsoons hit the north.
He said 15 North Vietnamese
regiments of regulars—equal to
five divisions—have been detect
ed in the 1st Region.
Lam’s assessment of the North,
reported by the government news
agency, Vietnam Press, came as
the North Vietnamese stepped up
their shellings and ground as
saults against allied bases in the
sensitive sector.
Two new attacks were reported
in Quang Ngai Province in the
wake of the severe setback in
the sector suffered by South Viet
namese forces Tuesday. In that
attack, North Vietnamese troops
shelled and assaulted a district
headquarters and a ranger camp,
killing at least 34 South Vietna
mese troops and one American
adviser, and wounding 42 South
Vietnamese and three U.S. ad
visers.
One of the new attacks hit at
an American artillery fire base
named Stinson, headquarters of
a unit of the 198th Infantry Bri
gade 8Y2 miles northwest of
Quang Ngai City.
In the other assault, enemy
troops struck at a government
outpost 18 miles southeast of
Quang Ngai City, the capital of
the province.
Marine selection team
to explain commissions
The Marine Corps’ officer se
lection team will make its first
1970-71 visit next week to ex
plain Corps programs leading to
commissions.
Capt. R. E. Crane of the Marine
Corps’ Officer Selection Office in
Austin, will head the team. He
will be assisted by Capt. Gene
Hughes from New Orleans and
Sgt. Robert Stephens of Austin.
The Marine Corps representa
tives will operate an information
booth in the Memorial Student
Center Monday through Thursday
to answer questions concerning
officer programs.
They will emphasize the Pla
toon Leaders Class (PLC) Pro
gram which offers students a
choice as either ground officers
or Naval aviators.
Students enrolled in the PLC
Program, Capt. Crane explained,
are only required to complete two
six-week summer sessions at
Quantico, Va., prior to gradua
tion and commissioning.
The Marine Corps also offers
an OCS commissioning program
for persons who have already re
ceived their college degrees.
While on campus, Capt. Crane
will meet with members of A&M’s
Semper Fidelis Society at 7:30
p.m. Tuesday in Room 146 of the
Physics Building. The Semper Fi
delis Society, the Marine Corps’
national collegiate organization,
is primarily composed of students
participating in the PLC Pro
gram.
