Tanks cause fear, alert
SAIGON — (UPI) — Government tanks fleeing a Communist attack caused a brief military alert in this coup-jittery capital today.
Vietnamese air force planes at Saigon's airbase roared into the air and the army rushed reinforcements to the northern outskirts of the city when two M41 tanks, U.S.-made vehicles of
World War II vintage, appeared at the Binh Loi Bridge.
IT WAS SOON LEARNED, however, that the tanks were fleeing from a government outpost 10 miles north of Saigon which was attacked before dawn by an estimated 1,000 Communists supported by mortars and recoilless artillery.

K.C. plant blazes fight fire 2 hours
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—(UPI) Firemen wrestled a raging fire at a chemical plant last night, bringing it under control more than two hours after a series of explosions tore the building apart.
Three employees escaped from the Thompson-Hayward Chemical Co. after the first explosion rocked the two-story structure. One worker suffered minor injuries. The firm, which had two Kansas City plants, manufactures insecticides and solvents for various industrial products.
THIRTY-FIVE MILE an hour winds hampered firemen, who worked furiously to keep the blaze from spreading to two railroad tank cars and several steel storage tanks.
One explosion tipped over a freight car east of the building. Another freight car burned.
The building was reduced to rubble, leaving only parts of outside walls remaining.
BILLOWING SMOKE and shooting embers were seen for miles.
The first explosion apparently erupted in a mixing vat. The worked who suffered minor burns was near the vat. The other two men were in a maintenance shop on the other side of the building
The plant was located in the Greystone area.
commander of the 1st Armored Cavalry Squadron, said the Communists destroyed one tank and damaged several others. He said 10 Reds piled into one tank and drove it about 400 yards before they were killed by counter-attacking government troops.
Church heads end meeting
ROME—(UPI)—Pope Paul VI and the archbishop of Canterbury joined in prayer today and pledged their churches to open a "serious dialogue" in the cause of Christian unity. For the second day in a row, the two church
leaders embraced in a "kiss of peace."
The Pope and the Archbishop, Dr. Michael Ramsey, prayed together in the Basilica of St. Paul's Outside the Walls in the closing act of the historical encounter.
