KHE SANH, Vietnam
(AP) — U. S. marines are
working night and day to
clear out Khe Sanh within
the next week. The rabbit
warren of bunkers which
soaked up so much Ameri-
can blood will soon be bur-
ied, and the rats will take
over.
The going is slow. Bull-
dozers raise a haze of red
dust in the daytime, and
air force twin-engined
C-47s orbit the base at
night dropping flares.
A few enemy artillery
rounds whistle over the
workers every day, but no
one pays much attention.
The marines expect the
North Vietnamese to step
up the harassment shelling
as Hanoi increases its
propaganda drive about
the withdrawal.
Plane Draws Fire
On Friday the North
Vietnam news agency
claimed that the Viet Cong
“wiped out" 122 allied
troops in an attack on U.
S. and South Vietnamese
elements withdrawing
from Khe Sanh.
U. S. spokesmen said
convoys moving from here
to Landing Zone Stud have
not been hit since June 8
when the marines lost
about 20 men in an enemy
ambush.
One U. S. plane dropping
flares for the night work-
ers was shot at continuous-
ly by enemy gunners
Thursday night, but was
not hit. Some sources iden-
tified the shell bursts as
37mm anti-aircraft fire, a
rarity in South Vietnam.
Airstrip Removed
The marines, elements
of a battalion from the 9th
Regiment, are trying to
salvage all the usable sec-
tions of the 3,000-foot alu-
minum airstrip. The sec-
tions are being flown out
by huge cargo-carrying
helicopters.
U. S. spokesmen said if
this is not completed soon,
the remainder of the air-
strip may be blown up to
expedite the pullout.
Large holes are being
dug to bury the skeletons
of helicopters and fixed-
wing aircraft that support-
ed the combat base while
it was under siege for 7 7
days from January 29 to
April 6. __
“We see no immediate
complications at this time,"

The medical bunker is

still in operation, and dem-

day before they fill it in.
Some marines wounded in
a fight on one of the sur-
rounding hills were
brought there Friday for

Most of the salvaged
material is being taken to
Landing Zone Stud, 19
miles northeast of here,
which is expected to be the
new western anchor for al-
lied bases along the demil-
itarized zone.
The landing has served
as a resupply and support
base for the eight batta-
lions that operated around
Khe Sanh since the siega
was lifted.
The U. S. Command an-
nounced Thursday it is
abandoning the base,
which was once felt to be
indispensable, in favor of a
mobile American striking
force to meet a more
aggressive enemy that
now has “the capability of
mounting several sizable
attacks concurrently.”
Aid Trip
FORT GORDON, Ga.
(AP) — It’s a long way from
Munich, Germany, to Fort
Gordon, Ga., but a high
school cleaning woman
made the trip to see her crit-
ically ill daughter.
Anna Havlicek came to
Georgia Friday on money
raised by pupils at the
school where she cleans and
by a Munich newspaper,
Abendzeitung. Her daughter,
Anna Smith, has intestinal
cancer.
Mrs. Havlicek arrived at
the Augusta. Ga., airport
early, but delayed visiting
the hospital until a florist
opened where she bought a
dozen carnations.
“I knew she would come,"
said Mrs. Smith, 25.
five hours after attending his
mother 's funeral Friday,
Tom Matthews, his wife,
Mary, and their two young
boys were killed in a fiery
two-car crash at an intersec-
tion at the top of a curving
hill near Bristow.
Also killed in the accident
was the driver of the other
car, Donald Phillip Byers
sr., 38, of Tulsa.
Gas Tanks Explode
Matthews, 36, his 32-year-
old wife and their sons, Tom-
my, 8, and Todd, 4, who
lived at Point Harbor on
Lake Keystone, had attended
the funeral of Mrs. Belle V.
Matthews in Tulsa.
The Oklahoma Highway
Patrol said the Matthews
auto plowed broadside into
Byers’ car.
The two gas tanks explod-
ed and the cars burst into
flames. Byers and Mrs. Mat-
thews were hurled from
their cars.
Salesman Horrified
“It was terrible, simply
terrible," said Guy C. Eid-
son, a Tulsa salesman who
happened upon the scene a
few minutes later.
“I never saw anything like
it in all my years of driv-
ing.” he said. “All of them
were burned completely
up.”
The mayor approved the
idea and said he would ask
the city to provide a site for
the statue.
Mayor Thomas J
D’Alesandro II of Baltimore
asked citizens to turn in their
firearms as a “positive step
toward meeting the problem
of violence in American so-
ciety.” A police spokesman
