SAIGON — (UP) — Left-wing terrorists hurled three bombs at American vehicles and installations in central Saigon today, wounding 19 persons including 13 U. S. Army officers and enlisted men. The U. S. information building was badly damaged.
Official South Vietnamese sources blamed Communists for the three blasts which came while President Ngo Dinh Diem, one of the most spoken anti-Red leaders in Asia, was entertaining trade representatives of 21 Asian nations, many of them neutrals.
The 13 army men were wounded in the explosion of two plastic bombs outside U. S. military billets here. No one was reported injured in the blast which wrecked the information building.

Passed Without Correct Procedure, Petition States
By DOUG PARKER
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
A petition for an injunction to stop the freshman primary election Wednesday was filed this morning with the Student Court.
Grant Napier, Wichita third year law student and chief justice or the court, said that members of the court would meet at 4 p.m. today to decide whether or not to grant the injunction.
The freshman football team is expected to have a good cheering section Saturday when it plays the Kansas State freshmen in Memorial Stadium, A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, director of athletics and associate professor of physical education, said Monday.
ROTC To Yell For Freshmen
Mr. Lonborg said the Army, Air Force and Navy ROTC units have offered to turn out to support the freshmen. If all the students attend they would total over 800.
The idea originated, Mr. Lonborg said, when he and Col. Ralph J. Hanchin, professor of military science, were discussing the idea of developing spirit for the game. He said they presented it to the students and they "took hold" and agreed to turn out, with their band.
Attendance at the game is purely voluntary, said Dale Gerboth, Council Grove senior and Army ROTC cadet commander.
KU Athlete Disappears
WICHITA —(UP)— A 19-year-old KU freshman football player, Curtis R. McClinton, Jr. has been missing for five days, his father reported to Wichita police today.
McClinton, a former Wichita North High School star, left Wichita for Lawrence by automobile Thursday. However, he never arrived at Lawrence.
The father, State Rep. Curtis R. McClinton, Sr. told police he was notified yesterday by a University official that his son had not been in his dormitory.
Eight Have Asian Flu
Eight cases of Asian flu at KU have been confirmed by Dr. James Mott, state epidemiologist. "There definitely is Asian flu on the KU campus," Dr. Mott said.
State health department laboratory tests showed positive results in samples sent in from seven counties. Dr. Mott said, "There is no sense in saying how many cases we have confirmed. It will change in a day or two to a higher number."
To date, Kansas has received about 200,000 shots of flu vaccine to meet the needs of its 2,000,000 residents. Dr. Mott said doctors "should keep urging the public to take the vaccine just as rapidly as it becomes available."
- The petition states the election bill amendment that excluded men from running in the election "was passed without due procedural rules of the ASC." The Council passed the amendment at its Oct. 14 meeting.
The netting requests that a trial be held to determine whether the ASC had the right to make the amendment a law so soon after the meeting.
Named as defendant is the ASC Elections Committee. Plaintiffs are Roger Whitten, Wichita, Dan Hogerty, Kansas City, Mo., both freshmen, and Jim Austin, Topeka sophomore and president of Vox Populi, Jason Ott, Lawrence second year law student, will present the plaintiff's case.

Ott said the freshmen plaintiffs were to run in the primarv election, Whitten on the Vox ticket and Hogerty on the AGI ticket. Due to the ASC amendment the two men asked for an injunction so they might have the opportunity to run, he said.
The petition states that the ASC failed to present a copy of the amended bill to the Chancellor for his signature on behalf of the Board of Regents, as required in section 8 of Bill No.1 of the constitution.
Carolyn Bailey, Scranton senior and secretary of the ASC, signed the petition stating that there never was a typewritten conv of the bill nor has the bill been presented to the Chancellor's office.
Could Call Referendum
If the two rules were obeyed, the petition stated, there is a right of recall by 20 per cent of the student body for a referendum if they dislike the bill.
The petition stated, "The plaintiff will suffer irreparable injury and has a legal right to file and run in the freshman election.
John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. senior and chairman of the committee, said today he was forewarned that something like this might happen, but he didn't know much about it.
Austin said that a petition was being circulated now to organize 20 per cent of the students to request that the election bill be submitted to the student body in a referendum.
"As it was explained to me there is some sort of loophole in the constitution which allows amendments of any bill in such a way as to facilitate the revisions needed under the new system." Downing said.
After the bill is amended two weeks must be allowed for students to decide if they wish a referendum. Ott said.
The chairman of the ASC, Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo junior, said he was completely satisfied that the ASC did everything according to constitutional law.
