The government advanced this theory amid a general lull in ground fighting but an increase in B52 bomber raids against the much-battered northeast corner of South Vietnam and in sensitive sectors of Laos. The government lodged a pro test with the International Con trol Commission against “intensi fied and indiscriminate” shell ings by North Vietnamese forces of civilian centers. A Foreign Ministry note to the commission said there were 151 shelling attacks last week in which 20 civilians were killed and 75 were wounded. “Extensive casualties suffered recently by North Vietnamese troops have compelled them to revise their strategy,” the note asserted. “They have cowardly resorted to shelling attacks aimed at various populated areas of the South where there were no mili tary installations in order to re duce their heavy losses of human life. “Thus, their indiscriminate mor tar and rocket shellings have re sulted every day in a large num ber of civilian victims, including women and children.” The B52 Stratofortress mis sions — equal to the two previ ous days together — were flown against North Vietnamese posi tions in the extreme northern part of South Vietnam along the Laotian frontier. Two of these raids hit just be low the demilitarized zone that divides the Vietnams where some outlets of the Ho Chi Minh supply trail feed into South Vietnam. The other three bombing forays struck a little north of the A Shau Valley, a major North Viet namese base of operations and transshipment area 28 miles southwest of Hue. Other B52 bombers continued the sustained pounding of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The U. S. Command disclosed that the bombers have been sup porting royal Laotian forces in northern Laos. The command did not say if the latest B52 raids were in northern Laos although a com munique said “U.S. aircraft flew combat missions in support of Royal Laotian forces in Laos.” Caperton gets UT fellowship Student Body President Kent Caperton is one of the first stu dents in the nation selected for Spy satellite launched CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. ) _ Under a mantle of secrecy, the Air Force rocketed a spy satel lite into space Wednesday to monitor Russian and Red Chinese missile tests and to provide al most instant alert of a long- range rocket attack. The 1,800-pound superspy would sound a 30-minute warn ing of such an attack. This is double the 15 minutes that pres ent radar systems give U.S. forces to prepare antimissile defenses and to launch bombers and mis siles in retaliation. The Defense Department clamped a secrecy lid on the launching. No advance announce ment was made, although infor mation about the launch gener ally w’as known in the Cape Ken nedy area. The Air Force issued a brief statement after liftoff stating merely that a satellite had been launched by a Titan 3 rocket. The rocket left its pad at 3:43 a.m. The Titan 3, is the largest rocket in the Air Force stable. The spy satellite is intended to replace a similar payload which failed to achieve a proper orbit last November when an upper stage did not fire properly. That satellite still is providing- some data but is useless as an around-the-clock missile monitor because it is not in a stationary orbit. The new payload was aimed to hover 24,000 miles above Southeast Asia. From this out post its infrared and other sen sors would keep constant watch on the launching pads and routes over which Russian and Red Chi nese missiles fly. a $3,300 fellowship at the Uni- verstiy of Texas’ new LBJ School of Public Affairs. Caperton, senior finance major from Caldwell, plans to earn a master’s degree in public admin istration. Approximately 40 students havb been selected for fellowships at the facility named in honor of former President Lyndon B. Johnson. Notice! The Battalion goes on a weekly schedule after this issue. During the remainder of the spring semester and throughout the summer, The Battalion will be published and distributed each Wednesday. Regular Tuesday-through-Fri- day publication resumes Aug. 31.

(AP Wirephoto) By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Thousands of Americans car ried antiwar sentiments back to the streets of their local com munities Wednesday in marches, rallies and stall-ins across the country. Crowds at the gatherings against the Indochina war and in memory of students killed last year at Kent State University in Ohio and Jackson State College in Mississippi were smaller than at previous antiwar gatherings. Scattered disturbances and ar rests were reported in various parts of the country, while in Washington, D.C., where the so- called “spring offensive” against the war began April 24, mass ar rests continued for a third con secutive day. A rally attended by an esti mated 20,000 to 40,000 persons at Boston Common was orderly and festive, although 7,000 police and National Guardsmen were massed in case of violence. Up wards of 150,000 persons attend ed the rally in the Common in October 1909. In New York City, about 10,- 000 people attended a rally in Bryant Park at the end of a day marked by widespread high school and college protest actions. About 50,000 persons attended a* similar protest in October 1969. Earlier, at Central Park, a gathering of 2,000 high school students came to an abrupt end when fist fights broke out as a group of black youths apparently tried to wrest control of a micro phone from white youths. Ven dors’ carts were overturned and looted during the fighting. In College Park, Md., state po lice — under orders from Gov. Marvin Mandel — used tear gas to disperse about 5,000 students from U.S. Route 1 adjacent to the University of Maryland campus. The blocking of Route 1 has be come almost institutionalized as a mode of protest. At least 14 persons were ar rested and three state troopers injured. Mandel had dispatched 500 po lice to the campus. Police said 29 persons were arrested on vari ous charges and four persons were injured, three of them po licemen. As police used tear gas to put down sporadic rock-throwing in cidents late into the evening, the govemor declared a state of emergency and called up National Guard units. He also clamped a 9 p.m. curfew on the campus and neighborhoods within a half-mile radius. In San Francisco, with the en tire 1,800-man municipal police force prepared for trouble, groups of no more than 1,000 demon strators were frustrated in at tempts to block traffic. An esti mated 175,000 persons partici pated in the Golden Gate Park antiwar rally last April 24. Police Wednesday reported 76 arrests and three injuries in clashes after a crowd looped back from the Bank of America build ing to the Standard Oil building, where they advocated disrupting businesses “profiting from the Indochina war.” At the latest Washington dem onstration, meanwhile, 1,200 of 3,000 persons who marched to the Capitol were arrested, bring ing to more than 11,000 the total number of arrests in three days. Another 1,500 to 2,000 persons — many of them government em ployes — held a peaceful noon time rally at Lafayette Park across the street from the White House. Earlier in the day, morn ing rush-hour traffic moved un impeded under the watchful eyes of 1,000 marines and Army troops deployed at bridges and traffic circles.
