US Marine Killed After Cong Defeat
SAIGON—(UPI)—Communist forces killed a U.S. Marine officer and wounded another today in a slashing jungle ambush only 20 miles from the site of a major Viet Cong defeat 24 hours earlier.
An American military spokesman said 28 Vietnamese troops were believed killed or wounded when the guerrillas sprung a wellplanned trap on a battalion of Vietnamese marines in a truck convoy 295 miles northwest of Saigon.
The U.S. Marine casualties were accompanying the convoy as advisers, the spokesman said, and were not part of the 3,500-man Marine force which has taken up positions around the Da Nang air base.
The wounded American Marine was taken to the U.S. army field hospital in the coastal city of Nha Trang for treatment of a bullet wound in the right side of his face. Army doctors said the wound was not serious.
THE BATTALION of Vietnamese marines, about 800 men, was traveling between Bong Son and Hoai and in Binh Dinh Province when the guerrillas cut loose late in the afternoon with a withering fusilade of automatic weapons and small arms fire.
Four Vietnamese Skyraider fighter-bombers aided in driving off the Communist ambushers but a military spokesman in reviewing fighting in Binh Dinh Province credited B57 strikes for much of the success.
"The use of American Air Force jets has turned the coin of pessimism," he said. "Binh Dinh went through a rather tense period early in February, but as the month ended and March began the situation overall became much better."
THE AMBUSH was the latest in a series of guerrilla actions in which hard-core Viet Cong units have attempted to capture key highways in Binh Dinh Province and cut South Viet Nam in two. The Communists have seized almost all of the government-protected hamlets in at least one Binh Dinh district.
But a Viet Cong raid Tuesday on the nearby U.S. Army Special Forces camp at Kannack was a dismal failure. American troops fighting side-by-side with mountain tribesmen recruited from the countryside killed more than 100 guerrillas and left the valley stronghold strewn with Communist dead.
FIVE AMERICANS were wounded, one seriously, in the Kanack fighting. Vietnamese losses totaled 33 killed and 30 wounded. The battle took place only 20 miles southwest of today's ambush.
The Marines at Da Nang today began establishing a ring of guard positions around the 25-mile base perimeter. One group of Marines marched through a Vietnamese village and up into the hills surrounding Da Nang, Vietnamese peasants stood silently along the road as the Marines marched past.
