U.S. battles Reds in air
SAIGON — (UPI)— The tangle between Russian-made jets and U.S. fighter planes this weekend represented the Communist's first significant challenge to U.S. supremacy in the skies over North Viet Nam.
About 14 or 16 jets, including MIG 17s and the newer and faster MIG 21s, engaged attacking American Air Force jets in three dogfights Saturday and two of the Communist planes fell victim to sharpshooting U.S. Air Force pilots.
ALTHOUGH THERE have been encounters between American and Communist jets over North Viet
Nam before, the others have been brief and almost accidental. The Saturday engagement represented the first time North Viet Nam's fledging air force has risked its planes in an attempt to halt American bombing raids.
Two-man FRC Phantoms, firing air-to-air missiles were credited with the two kills.
Air Force officials said the Communists had received much better training and equipment since the last dogfight last July which also cost the Communists two planes. The officials said the Communist pilots "showed very good skill."
Halts merging dailies
NEW YORK — (UPI) — About 1,800 newsmen, photographers and office workers went on strike against three merging daily newspapers Sunday in a dispute over how 900 from their ranks should be picked to lose their jobs.
The strike by the New York Newspaper Guild prevented the morning Herald Tribune and the evening World Journal from publishing today's inaugural editions. The two newspapers were formed from three in the industry's biggest consolidation in history.
It was the third time since 1963 that one or more major newspapers in the city have been closed by a strike. But unlike before, other daily papers did not cease publication in support of the three newspapers being struck.
The guild posted picket lines at entrances of the newspapers which merged—the New York Herald Tribune, the New York Journal-American and the New York World-Telegram and The Sun.
Matute interprets writing heritage
Mrs. Matute's novels and short stories have been translated into Swedish, Russian, Dutch, French, English and Italian.
She was to speak at 10 a.m. Saturday, but people started coming to the Kansas Union much earlier. They came to hear Ana Maria Matute, qualified as one of the "most important Spanish novelists," speaking at KU's 42nd annual celebration of Cervantes Day.
"THE SPANISH CIVIL War in 1936," she said, "was not only the marking point in my career, but in all the writers of my generation—of those of us who belong to Spain's middle-bourgeoisie."
Mrs. Matute said during the days prior to the Civil War, almost all children in Spain attended a religious school.
"It was a sheltered education. We lived in a separated world—a quiet and beautiful world. We were kept from an ugly place which was pictured to us in a deformed manner," she said.
"Suddenly," the Spanish novelist said, "the image that we had received in school was shot down.
"Why, we wondered, were priests and nuns hurriedly running in civilian clothes, why were churches being burned, why did so many people have hatred and hunger painted in their eyes? We needed an explanation, we had been cheated," she said.
THE CIVIL WAR ended and the children grew up, but the experiences they received from the battle remained within them, she said.

Both of the downed jets were MIG 17s. Although neither had markings they were presumed to have been flown by North Vietnamese pilots.

SAIGON—(UPI)—Militant Catholic youths, fearful of Buddhist domination in a civilian government, staged weekend demonstrations supporting the military regime and demanding punishment for leaders of Buddhist inspired civil disorders.

More than 8,000 students, shepherded through the streets by black-shirted students carrying beer bottles to keep them in line, carried banners attacking U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge and demanding his ouster.
PAMPHLETS distributed by the demonstrators accused Lodge of "having betrayed the strong measures of President Johnson" and yielding to pressure from the Buddhists.
Similar demonstrations were held in Bien Hoa about 12 miles north of here. In Da Nang, a center of Buddhist strength in the northern provinces about 385 miles to the north, Catholics put up banners demanding a government crack-down on the student struggle force, the Buddhist organization which organized the massive strikes.
