IaIGON •■‘ zp) —North Vietnam-
■ forces have withdrawn from

'' ith broajK r suffering heavy losses in
°f bac|M r 10-day offensive, the South
ict amese commander of the
takeiti |rapaig n said Tuesda y-

‘ l Pc WorliB re( j n Gen. Nguyen Van
SUs PecM^ are K oing after them
11 heavy air attacks and other
n es ; Chot Ef|nsive operations.”
henf . iiiih said the North Vietnam-
^■lost 450 men killed in their
campaign on the Cambodian-
Vietnam frontier.
He told Associated Press cor
respondent George Esper at his
headquarters in Tay Ninh that
South Vietnamese casualties in
the border fighting were 41
killed and 289 wounded.
Minh said allied radar and
other electronic detecting devices
confirmed reports that the North
Vietnamese had withdrawn east
ward and northeastward from
the main battle arena around the
highway junction town of Krek,
seven miles inside Cambodia.
Minh reported the North Viet
namese pullout less than 24
hou^s after the heaviest fighting
of the border campaign, a series
of savage clashes near Fire Base
Alpha, Si/o miles east of Krek,
over a seven-hour period Monday.
As the fighting raged, a tank-
led- South Vietnamese relief force
pierced the North Vietnamese
blockade of Alpha and relieved
the garrison that had been cut
off 10 days. Two earlier attempts
to crash through had failed.
Saigon headquarters claimed
134 North Vietnamese were killed
in the ground fighting near
Alpha and that 230 men were
killed by the relentless allied air
strikes and artillery bombard
ment. South Vietnamese losses
were 10 killed and 39 wounded,
the command said.
During the siege, the Alpha
garrison of South Vietnamese
and Cambodian troops had been
resupplied by Vietnamese C123
transport planes which made low-
altitude parachute deliveries.
The cargo planes had been
fitted wtih machine guns and
they raked enemy positions on
both sides to suppress ground
fire as they came in.
Minh estimated that the North
Vietnamese force totaled about
3,000 men in the border cam
paign.
He said they consisted of three
regiments, all far under strength
at about 750 men each. A regi
ment at full strength would have
2,900 men.
The general said the objective
of the North Vietnamese border
offensive, which started Sept. 25,
had been to disturb Sunday’s
presidential election in South
Vietnam, to embarrass President
Nguyen Van Thieu and to cause
his prestige to drop.
Minh said that captured docu
ments of the Communist com
mand showed that the North
Vietnamese had hoped to draw
South Vietnamese troops out of
the Tay Ninh area and destroy
them in eight days.
The plan, he said, was to lure
South Vietnamese reinforcements
up a main highway to go to the
aid of a surrounded fire base and
to ambush the column on the
road. Once the task force was
destroyed, Minh said, the North
Vietnamese hoped to send two
sapper battalions into Tay Ninh
to wreck headquarters.

Labor leaders
renew attack
on policies
WASHINGTON (A 5 ) — Pres
ident Nixon worked on the next
stage of his campaign against
inflation Tuesday while the
House took up his tax-cutting
program and labor leaders re
newed their attack on the Pres
ident’s economic policies.
“Robinhood in reverse” and
“association for the rich” was the
description applied to Nixon's
program by Patrick E. Gorman,
chief executive officer of the
AFL-CIO Amalgamated Meat
Cutters union.
Testifying before the House
Banking Committee, Gorman
urged Congress to reject the tax
bill as a “bonanza for industry.”
The House began debate on
the measure and scheduled a vote
on it Wednesday. Chairman
Wilbur D. Mills, D.-Ark., of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, predicted it will pass. He
called the bill an improvement
over the President’s proposals.
Nixon, back from a weekend
at Key Biscayne, Fla., conferred
at the White House with Secre
tary of the Treasury John B.
Connally and Director George
Shultz of the Office of Manage
ment and Budget.
These men, along wtih mem
bers of the President’s Council
of Economic Advisers and other
top aides, are helping the chief
executive round out the program
that will replace the 90-day wage-
price-rent ^freeze' that expires
Nov. 13i»ii!> oinnoJ nrfol. n ^
White liouse V 'press secretary
Ronald L. Ziegler indicated the
President will be ready to an
nounce the Phase 2 program
soon, perhaps sometime over the
coming weekend.
One of the final problems i'e-
maining to be settled is what
type of enforcement is to be used
in keeping wages and prices in
check when the present freeze
ends.
Sen. Gale McGee, D.-Wyo.,
proposed legislation delaying pay
raises for the armed forces as
well as for civilian government
workers.
McGee, chairman of the Senate .
Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, said in a statement
that Senate approval Monday o£
an additional $381 million in
crease for the military on top
of a $2.4-billion raise included
in the already-enacted draft bill
is unfair at a time when civilian
pay raises are frozen.
McGee’s action followed House
approval Monday of Nixon’s
order barring until next July 1
a pay raise that civilian federal
workers had been scheduled to
get on Jan. 1. The Senate is due
to vote on this question Wednes
day or Thursday.
The tax bill before the House
contains some $5.71 billion relief
in 1971-73 for individuals, mainly
those in the lower income tax
brackets.
Organized labor’s criticism of
the bill was directed at its bene
fits for business and industry.
AFL-CIO President George
Meany said the “tax bonanza to
business” would amount to $70
billion in a decade.
Sensing Center
awarded contract
A&M’s Remote Sensing Center
has received a $48,500 contract
from the Naval Ordnance Labo
ratory, announced RSC director
Dr. John W. Rouse Jr.
The center will develop and
test a laboratory model of a new
system developed at the center
during the past two years. Dr.
Rouse said the system, when op
erated in conjunction with air
borne radar, would provide near
real time identification of Arctic
ice types.
Results from radar data analy
sis at the RSC led to laboratory
tests of the system using a mock-
up built around a small analog
computer.
