Saigon Reports Enemy Reply In Air Strike Against North
SAIGON —(UPI) The Saigon government reported today that unidentified enemy aircraft attempted to intercept South Vietnamese fighter-bombers during Tuesday's massive air strike against Communist North Viet Nam.
It was the first report of any aerial opposition over North Vietnamese territory.

Nam Press, the official South Vietnamese news agency, said Vietnamese Skyraider pilots returning from the mission saw "three strange planes coming from the east."
THE REPORT quoted the pilots as saying the planes "obviously intended to head off" the Vietnamese aircraft after they had bombed a big North Vietnamese naval installation at Quang Khe on the coast of the South China Sea.
"Our larger numbers apparently frightened them off," the report added. The Vietnamese planes were escorted by U.S. F100 jets.
North Viet Nam is known to have an air force of at least 25 Soviet-built MIG jet fighters. The government report did not indicate whether the planes seen Tuesday were jets or propellor-powered.
There was no confirmation of the report from U.S. military officials. At a briefing Tuesday night, a U.S. Air Force spokesman said there was no indication of North Vietnamese aircraft during the raid of Khang Khe or the American strike of a munitions dump at Xom Bang just north of the border between the two Viet Nams.
THE SOVIET Union today termed the attacks "acts of undisguised international banditry." An editorial in the Communist party newspaper Pravda said:
"The Soviet government has most unambiguously warned the U.S. government that the latter miscalculated if it believed that aggression
against a socialist state would remain unpunished.
"The U.S. aggressors have begun a dangerous play with fire."
Pravda demanded a "discontinuation of the criminal dirty war in Viet Nam" and said the United States was "on the road of risky and dangerous provocations."
WHILE U.S. and Vietnamese intelligence experts assessed the effect of the raids, there were reports of an imminent landing by a battalion-sized force of American Marines in South Vietnam.
It was understood that the Leathercnecks would take over security duties at vital U.S. installations, including the big air base at Da Nang—the jumping off point for Tuesday's air strikes.
More than 160 U.S. and South Vietnamese planes took part in the one-two aerial punch, the biggest raid yet against the communist north.
A U.S. military spokesman said today the final tally of losses showed that five American jet fighters and one South Vietnamese Skyraider were shot down by Communist anti-aircraft fire.
ONE U.S. Air Force pilot was reported missing. The five other airmen were rescued within hours of the attack.
The missing American was not located despite air rescue missions over the rugged jungle-covered mountains near the 17th parallel.
