VIET NAM ACTION
Ky army apparently victorious
DA NANG—(UPI)—The eight-day battle for Da Nang ended today in apparent victory for Premier Nguyen Cao Ky's government when rebel troops in the Tien Hoa pagoda surrendered and marched out with their hands up.
Among the last casualties of the battle were three newsmen who were slightly injured by a grenade as they left the pagoda Sunday night. They were AP correspondent Robert Ross, British free-lance photographer Timothy J. Page and Alain Taieb of Paris Match.
UPI PHOTOGRAPHER Steve Van Meter, a former paratrooper, was blown off a wall by the blast but suffered no injuries.
Resistance at the pagoda—the main rebel fortress here—collapsed at 2 a.m., four hours before the expiration of a surrender ultimatum handed to the insurgents by Ky's forces.
The government had demanded that the rebels surrender by 6 am. A rebel request for a three-day truce to bury their dead was refused.
About 125 soldiers and several hundred civilians had held out in the pagoda for more than a week.
IN SAIGON, angry mobs burned an American jeep and pickup truck after a gunman in a U.S.-owned gasoline truck—believed to be its Vietnamese driver—shot and killed a Vietnamese soldier outside the Vien Hoa Doa pagoda.
In Saigon, the killing of a Vietnamese soldier by a bullet fired from a U.S. military gasoline truck, apparently by its Vietnamese driver, set off a wave of anti-American violence here today.
A Buddhist-led mob overturned and burned two American vehicles unconnected with the shooting, a military jeep and a civilian pickup truck, near the place where the soldier was killed. Americans riding in the two vehicles escaped injury.
THE BUDDHISTS sent a message to U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge late today, asking him to determine the identity of the "murderer" and see that he is brought to trial.
American cars and trucks elsewhere in the city were stoned by Vietnamese teenagers, causing minor damage but no reported casualties.
Riot police supported by Vietnamese paratroopers and, for the
Mrs. Nancy Hernandez, a shy brunette of Mexican-American descent who pleaded guilty to a charge of being in a room where marijuana was present, was offered probation if she would agree to sterilization. When she refused, she was ordered to serve a six-month term in county jail.
MUNICIPAL JUDGE Frank P. Kearney, who stipulated the terms for probation, gave no reason for his decision. His only comment was "nothing novel—legally, medically, or sociologically."
Mrs. Hernandez's attorney, Louis Renna, saw it differently.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — (UPI)—A 21-year-old mother of two goes to jail today because she refused to submit to sterilization as a condition of probation on a misdemeanor offense.
THE VICTIMS were canal workers and their families, captured as they slept in their quarters in Long Xuyen Province, and then led out to be shot in the head by an execution squad. Four of those killed were children.
Wife refuses sterility as probationary term
"The order is unreasonable, capricious, illegal and unconstitutional." Renga declared. He said he would file for a writ of habeas corpus immediately if Mrs. Hernandez were jailed.

To the north, troops of the U.S. 1st Cavalry airmobile division tracked down Communist guerrillas in 12-foot tall elephant grass and killed 47 of them. The fighting brought to 207 the number of Viet Cong killed by the division's 1st Brigade during Operation Crazy Horse, 275 miles north of here.
The incident took place Sunday night when the light craft, similar to a World War II PT boat, was patrolling the Dinh Ba River looking for Communist gunsmugglers.
In the air war, U.S. Navy and Air Force pilots flew 49 missions against North Viet Nam Sunday, while Guam-based B52 bombers pounded suspected Viet Cong strongholds and headquarters in Quang Ngai, 325 miles north of Saigon.
COMMUNIST gunners bombarded and sank a U.S. Navy patrol boat 20 miles south of Saigon, pouring machine-gun fire into its six-man crew, American Military spokesmen said today.
Board tells of baby
LOS ANGELES—(UPI)—During Saturday night's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates this announcement appeared on the electronic message board:
defrauding the Welfare Department of $2.315.
The crew of the stricken craft fought off the attackers and casualties were described as moderate.
"Dear Sirs: My husband and I will attend the Dodger game Saturday. We've been married a year and a half. I've been dying to tell him something. Do you think you could use your Dodger Stadium message board to tell Bob Cowan that he and Diane are going to have their first child soon?"
Following the announcement the crowd cheered the Cowans, who were in the stadium, and the organ played "Rockabye Baby."
Meanwhile, 110 miles south of Saigon, Viet Cong guerrillas Sunday massacred 23 Vietnamese men, women and children and wounded 12 other civilians as South Vietnamese rescue troops
raced to the scene in a futile effort to prevent the slaughter.
HOWEVER, JUDGE Kearney stipulated that she must submit to sterilization in order to be placed on probation.
Teachers hit draft
BOULDER, Colo.—(UPI)—Seven professors at the University of Colorado have condemned as "insidious and unjust" the selective service policy exempting students on the basis of ability or class standing.
The teachers, in a joint letter, said the policy fostered de facto discrimination, imposed a burden on teachers in grading and tended to keep in colleges students who only desired to avoid the draft.
IT SAID THE POLICY fostered de facto discrimination against economic and social groups whose members were least likely to attend college.
"Thus the war, it turns out, is to be fought primarily by those citizens who have in general received least from the resources of society."
The teachers said the argument for the student deferment policy was "that we cannot afford to neglect the need of society for educated men."

Parents needed for family of 15
MOTT, N.D. — (UPI)— In the long columns of dull gray type on the classified pages of newspapers in this prairie state was this appeal:
WANTED: A third set of parents for 15 orphaned children.
"We need a guardian."
The ad was placed on behalf of the 15 Kermzman children whose parents were killed last November in a traffic accident.
JAMES KERZMAN JR., the eldest of the children at 19, with his 18-year-old brother, Jerry, has been trying to keep the family together on its 1,500-acre grain and cattle farm, summed up the children's plea in four words:
The entire town of Mott, a windswept prairie village, has come to act as a guardian to the children. It was Mayor Ted Hardmeyer who placed the ad, with the approval of the children.
Since the parents were killed, Jim has given up a promising college career to make sure his brothers and sisters remain under the same roof.
