“Prior to our progress
into Laos," he continued,
“the trail would be re-
paired within hours after
an air strike, but our pres-
ence there makes repair
impossible.
“We also discovered a
pipeline which supplied en-
emy convoys with fuel.
There had been thousands
of vehicles operating on
the trail, but the presence
of our troops has caused a
sharp decline in vehicular
traffic. Since the occupa-
tion of Sepone and Base
Area 914, enemy vehicle
traffic has been reduced to
a minimum.”
The commander praised
the U.S. air support in
Laos, especially the
strikes by B52s and fight-
tigation workshop held in
Phoenix recently.

Sepone. He said 300 to 400
enemy bodies had been
found and more than 30
antiaircraft guns had been
knocked out at Sepone by
air strikes.
“The operation could not
have been carried out
without U.S. air support."
Lam said.
Waves of U.S. warplanes
kept up heavy attacks on
the Ho Chi Minh trail to-
day as the allied campaign
in Laos began its fifth gered
week.
For the second consecu-
tive day. sources said U.S.
warplanes flew about 1.000
missions in laos, Cambo-
dia and South Vietnam.
About half the force was
composed of strike air-
craft. the rest combat sup-
port aircraft.
Only sporadic fighting
was reported around Se-
pone today as a major bat-
tle was reported about 20
miles to the southeast.
Lt. Col. I a Trung Hien,
a South Vietnamese
spokesman at Quang Tri,
said several hundred
North Vietnamese shelled
a marine battalion about
12 miles southwest of Lang
Vei, then launched a
ground attack. This trig-
1 an 18-hour battle
that did not end until after-
noon. Hien said initial re-
ports indcated about 250
North Vietnamese troops
were killed, many of them
by U.S. bombers and heli-
copters. Seventeen of the
marines were killed and 50
wounded. Hien said.

namese forces in Laos said
today that his troops have
seized three main junc-
tions on the Ho Chi Minh

troops had advanced to
road junctions at Ban
Dong. Muong Nong and Se-
pone.
Sepone. a main supply
hub on the trail 25 miles

ese troops Saturday. Ban

tween the border and Se-
pone. on east-west High-
way 9. while Muong Nong I
is 20 miles south of Ban

fended by artillery, anti- j

neers.

est visit came at a time of heightened U.S. and South Vi-
etnamese military action in vvhch borders Com-

LONDON (AP) - The
British government has
advised the 1.000 Britons
in East Pakistan to leave
the country because of the
threat of civil war if their
presence is not essential.
The Foreign Office said
it had no reports of any
Britons being injured in
the turbulence that has
gripped Dacca, the capital
of East Pakistan, for the
past week. But the advice
to leave was given by Dep-
uty High Commissioner
Frank Sargeant as a pre-
caution.

leader. Sheik M u j 1 b u r
Rahman, and his Awami
league are locked in a
struggle with the nation's

Notionalist Joins Reds
BERN. Switzerland (AP) — The Swiss federal police
said today a Nationalist Chinese diplomat en route to
Saigon has defected to Communist China.
The report followed a charge by the Nationalist
Chinese Foreign Ministry in Taipei. Formosa, that the
diplomat, identified as Sun Chi-chou. had been kidnapped
Thursday from his Geneva hotel by "four Communist
Chinese bandits."
But the Swiss federal police chief, Dr. Andre Am-
stein, told a newsman: “We are positive that the diplo-
mat has chosen the other side and decided to go to Com-
munist China. It is certain that there was no abduction
and that he went on his own free will."
Amstein said Sun already had left Switzerland.

LONDON (AP) — Tne Rolls-Royce Co. announced
today a big layoff of workers as the U.S. and British
governments tried to work out the future of the firm's
RB211 jet engine.
Rupert Nicholson, the accountant named to unravel
Rolls-Royce's financial affairs, said 4.300 employees —
many of them white collar workers — would lose their
jobs in the next three weeks.
“The reduction is independent of the RB211 situation
and does not take into account the possible cancellation
of the RB211 program." Nicholson said.
If the engine — built for the Lockheed Corp s TriStar
airliner — is scrapped. Rolls' layoffs will be much high-
