Nixon Still Popular
PRINCETON, N.J. (AP)—Public approval of President Nixon appears to have sustained the increased popularity that followed his visit to the Soviet Union, the Gallup Poll reported Sunday. The Gallup organization's latest survey, taken between June 16 and 19, showed 60 per cent of those interviewed responded favorably when asked whether they approved or disapproved of the President's performance. Another 32 per cent said they disapproved and 8 per cent had no opinion.
Army Dropouts Ebbing
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army said its worldward desertion rate, sent spiraling by the Vietnam war past the peak set in World War II, had begun to drop for the first time in seven years although it remained relatively high. According to the Army, there were 40,927 cases of desertion during the first three quarters of the 1972 fiscal year which ends June 30. This is nearly 22,000 fewer than the number of casualties that the U.S. officials saw this as a trend that would continue as the service withdrew from an unpopular war. They also said that fewer draffees, higher enlistment standards and measures to speed the processing of discharges were helping.
Bomb Blamed for Crash
SAIGON (AP) — Investigators of the crash of a Cathay Pacific Airways jetliner that killed 81 persons are nearly convinced the plane carried a bomb that destroyed it in the air, informed sources reported Sunday. The sources, familiar with the inquiry into the June 15 crash, said all other possibilities had been virtually ruled out by investigators. One source reports that activity ruled out completely. "The investigation is concentrating on one strong probability, and that is a bomb exploded aboard the aircraft," one source said.
Planes Attack Steel Plant
SAIGON (AP) - U.S. jets dropped laser-beamed 2,000 pound "Smart" steel bogs into the Thai Nguyen steel plant's open hearth furnaces 30 miles north of Manila for the world'snamestreel steel producing capacity, the 7th Air Force announced Sunday.
Other Air Force F4 Phantoms with laser bombs ranged 120 miles north of Hanoi to within 30 miles of the border with China in the south, a small railroad bridges on the northwest line, the Air Force said.
These were among more than 20 strikes that U.S. tactical fighters conducted in North Vietnam Saturday, B52 strategic bombers mounted a strike on the city's raids across South Vietnam's northern front Sunday with firepower that was far outweighing
THE ATTACK on the Tha Nguyen steel works was the most destructive since the resumption of the company's operations April 6, officer said. It was considered a major target and hadn't been bombed since the 1985-86 campaign when it was rebuilt in recent times. It was later ruled
The complex, two square miles in area, is the biggest industrial facility in the country and provided its entire domestic railroads. It also serves railroads, bridges and buildings.
While four of the Phantoms dropped the pinpoint accurate laser bombs through the roof of a building, two of the buildings, the rest of the flight blasted the plants storage area with unguided, 500-pound bombs and flares. The planes reported destroying or damaging numerous warehouses.
THE AIR FORCE said that by knocking out the open hearth of a tank, the crew "destroyed North Vietnam's entire capacity for producing steel" and the other sections of it were crippled automatically.
The command made no mention of any American plane losses in the raids Saturday. The Navy said P4 Phantoms were shot down
north of Hanoi in Vinh Phu Province. The northwest rail line runs through the province and the east steel plant is just east of it.
In other raids Saturday, Navy fighter-bombers from the carrier Coral Sea attacked a series of targets south of Hanoi.
U. S. Command policy is to withhold announcement of plane losses while search-and-rescue operations are in progress.
PILOTS reported smashing two large supply buildings at the Phu Ly trans-shipment point, 12 miles southeast of Hanoi, triggered explosions and fires among black smoke rising to 1,000 feet.
A raid on a trans-shipment point 30 miles south of Hanoi set
off eight big sustained fires, pilots reported.

The command, which has overall responsibility for all branches of service in Vietnam, said the oveh had been planned even before the collapse controversy and the timing was purely coincidental.
The move downgrades it to a support unit with the primary focus on providing them rather than just the army alone. It now becomes less of a tactical headquarters and unders more control of the U.S. Command.
At least three Air Force geogs and there have been moved to the Command's "Pentagon East" headquarters at Tan Son Tao Airport.

Hijacker Hunt Continues
PERU, Ing. (AP)—A manhunt for a young hijacker resumed Sunday and the FBI called on an expert skydriver to try to pinpoint the flight of the bandit who either parachuted or fell from a commandered jet with more than $500,000. About 170 men joined the search, which centered on a thickly wooded, 25-square-mile coastal landscape known as Desert Island. It was over that area that the hijacker was believed to have left an American Airlines 727 early Saturday. Jim Martin, FBI agent-in-charge in Indiana, said the skyjacker had not been identified and it was uncertain whether his parachute had opened, leaving the possibility that he may be dead or injured.
