N. Viets Pressure Pleiku
SAIGON (AP) - North Vietnamese forces attacked a third South Vietnam outpost in the central highlands Tuesday amid growing government concern of an attack to the base city of Pleiku.
Enemy pressure has mounted within a 25-mile radius of the province capital since last Friday. A Saigon commander said that an air attack attributed the attacks to the North Vietnamese 320th Division.
This is the unit that tried to seize Kortum, 25 miles north of Pleiku, in June. But Viet said the attackers were not immediately clear.
The Saigon command said the latest attack on Bau Can base camp, about 12 miles southwest of Saigon, was used by government militiamen.
The militia suffered casualties of five killed, and 13 wounded. It claimed 130 North Vietnamese were killed with the aid of air force aircraft and had not been substantiated by the fact that only 28 weapons were captured.

On Monday, North Vietnamese infantrymen overran the Pleiades east of Pleikau, sending its 200 Montagard range defenders to the battlefield.
To meet the threat of an enemy buildup around Pleiku, U.S. B35 bombers have stepped up their strikes in the central highlands.
They flew nine raids Tuesday against suspected North Vietnamese troop concentrations 15 and 18 miles southwest of the city.
Closer to Saigon, enemy sppers struck a South Vietnamese artillery position at Ben Cat, only
25 miles north of the capital
Five sappers were killed in the attack, which left three government soldiers dead, one wounded and two wounded in a track damage by explosives.
Slow governmentment progress was reported on the northern front, where South Vietnamese forces are trying to receive Fire Base explosives (two hills south of Da Nang. It fell to the enemy Aug 19).

Mitchell Still Says Nixon Campaign OK
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Nixon's re-election campaign won't be hurt by the furor over last June's break-in and bugging of Democratic party leaders John Mitchell said Tuesday.
The former Nixon campaign chief spoke to newsmen after a Senate hearing on the secret testimony in the Democrat's $1 million lawsuit over the Iran deal.
Government investigators have since traced $114,000 in one of the arrested men's bank account back to Nixon's campaign.
FIVE MEN, two of them with links to the President's campaign headquarters, with electronic eavesdropping gear, photographic equipment and rubber surgical gloves inside the Waterate Hotel offices at the Waterate Hotel.
The former attorney general
called it a "ridiculous caper" that newsmen have "blown out of all proportion."
MITCHELL wouldn't discuss the testimony because of a court order that would have answered all questions asked by the Democrat's lawyer in the case.
The President's top campaign leaders aren't responsible he should be, but they are, and authority, then there is clearly no responsibility of the people in charge.
Attorney Henry B. Rothblatt, who represents the five men arrested in the case, confirmed the cell had answered all questions.
LAST FRIDAY Mitchell had refused to answer questions because Robbblat had asked the question, and he further testimony in the case.

Hillen Unz, Israeli professor of engineering, called the incident "madness" and expressed his anger over the event.
"The act will have a profound effect on the Olympic games," Unz said. "If the Olympics are to end, they will never be the same."
Itski Denstein, Israeli graduate student, was appalled at the act of violence.
"It was outrageous," he said. "I sure the Israeli government arrested prisoners because of this outrageous act. It will allow them to escape."
"It was a complete shock," he said, "No matter what experiences you have, the unbelievable keeps happening. The whole world will focus on it (the incident) and it might turn some heads, but I don't think it will make a big difference in relations."
MeGovernor worked his way south from Seattle, accusing the administration of callousness and neglect of needs of unemployed workers
"We could create 25,000 new jobs almost overnight in the Boeing plant alone," the South Dakota senator said.
McGovern said that could be done by using a fraction of $8 billion he said the administration issued in tax relief to corporations.
Ireland said the Arab students on campus had no immediate reaction to the attack, although he believed most of the students would be distressed at the attack.

Nixon, heading back to Washington from San Clemente, Calif., went by way of San

BUT U.S. District Court Judge R. Dixon Herman ruled that the terms should run concurrently with his present prison term.
This means Berrigan is eligible to apply immediately for parole and could be free before next spring.
Former U.S. Atty, Gen. Ramsey Clark, a member of the Berrigan defense, said the sentences would be appealed.
Herman sentenced Sister Elizabeth Mealister, 32, to one year in prison on one of three charges for being convicted and to three years probation on each of the remaining two, the sentences to be reduced. Mr. Mealister agreed to a defense request to reconsider the one-year sentence.
