Weekend's Action in Viet Nam Indicates Viet Cong Offensive
SAIGON, South Viet Nam—(UPI) A series of hit-and-run attacks on government forces indicated today that the Communist Viet Cong has started a rainy season offensive.
The South Viet Nam government announced that Communist guerrillas attacked five government outposts and sank a landing craft in weekend action near the Cambodian border, leaving as many as 46 Vietnamese soldiers dead or missing.
THERE WERE NO reports of Viet Cong losses in the weekend attacks, or casualties among the more than 15,000 U.S. advisers aiding the Vietnamese in the guerrilla war.
The synchronized attacks followed Thursday's Communist ambush near Saigon in which 54 government troops were killed.
Vietnamese officials and their American advisers have been anticipating stepped-up guerrilla activities to coincide with the beginning of the rainy season. During the four-month season, heavy rains turn rice paddies into seas of mud which give an advantage to the kind of hit-and-run tactics used by the Viet Cong.
The other Communist action sank a Vietnamese craft in a river in the same area, about 50 miles west of Saigon. At least nine and possibly 19 government troops were killed.
A battalion of Viet Cong launched coordinated raids before dawn on the five outposts Saturday, killing 17 Vietnamese soldiers and leaving 10 missing.
THE GOVERNMENT LAUNCHED a pursuit operation after the raids, but the relief force was unable to find any trace of the attackers.
U. S. advisers at the government stronghold of Tan An said the Viet Cong may have slipped across the border from neutral Cambodia. The raided villages are only four miles from Cambodian territory.

South Viet Nam and Cambodia
have exchanged charges over alleged border violations and a Cambodian complaint on the matter will be taken up tomorrow by the United Nations Security Council in New York.
The Cambodian government in Phnom Penh today denied reports that it cooperated with the Viet Cong and permitted guerrillas to cross the border for refuge from pursuing Vietnamese forces.
The attacks took place on a string of posts centered around the town and airstrip of Moc Hoa. A U.S. spokesman at Tan An said there were no government casualties in Moc Hoa and two of the other outposts, indicating these strikes might have been diversionary to draw attention from the two villages that were hit the hardest.
CAMBODIAN SOURCES also claimed that 50 "Free Cambodia" rebels coming from South Viet Nam attacked a provincial border outpost at Prey Khmuthon a week ago and killed one Cambodian.
The Viet Cong attacks Saturday started shortly after midnight with simultaneous assaults on two posts. Then the Reds pulled back and hit the other posts one by one. The fighting continued until dawn when the guerrillas slipped away.
The losses occurred at Binh Thanh Thon where the government lost 15 dead, 17 wounded and 10 missing; and at Chua Noi where the Viet Cong killed 2 soldiers, wounded 6, and carried off a quantity of weapons.
THE LANDING CRAFT, 50 feet long and large enough to carry a small tank, was sunk by an explosion about 14 hours after the raids on the villages.
Vice Premier Nguyen Xuan Oahn announced in Saigon he had postponed his trip to Washington because of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara's visit to Viet Nam last week.

To counter the stepped-up Communist activity, the United States has promised increased aid to the South Vietnamese government. In addition to having 15,000 men in the country, the United States is contributing $1.5 million a day in military and economic help toward overcoming the Communists.
AN AMERICAN OFFICER who escaped from pursuing guerrillas after being wounded in the ambush Thursday said the Viet Cong opened up on the government force with machine guns, mortars and rifles.
He said the government troops tried to break through, but the Red fire was too heavy.
"You could see the people all around you getting hit," said 1st Lt. William D. Richter, 25, of Seattle, in a hospital yesterday.
Richter was hit in both legs as he tried to flee. He said he probably would be dead but for Army Capt, Donald F. Van Ynde, 26, of Chicago, who stuck with him and helped him escape.

In Maryland
Heavy Vote Expected
BALTIMORE —(UPI)— Predictions of a heavy voter turnout in tomorrow's Maryland primary spurred Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace and Sen. Daniel B. Brewer, D-Md., today in their final hours of campaigning.
Wallace, who has based his campaign on an attack on the administration's civil rights bill, was to make his final campaign appearance tonight in the National Guard army at Glen Burnie.
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS have estimated that the segregationist governor will get about 25 per cent of the vote. Other observers have predicted he will receive as much as 40 per cent. Wallace has said he would view his campaign successful if he received 5 per cent of the Democratic vote.
THE REPUBLICAN contest has been overshadowed by the bitter debate between Brewster and Wallace. over civil rights versus states rights. GOP supporters will vote for an uninstructed delegation to the Republican national convention.
It was estimated that more than 500,000 votes would be cast in the hotly contested election that has brought many liberal Democratic senators into the state from nearby Washington to aid Brewster's campaign. A forecast of warm and fair weather throughout the state tomorrow was expected to help bring out the voters.
Brewster, President Johnson's stand-in in the battle for Maryland's 48 delegates to the Democratic national convention, and he was completely confident of winning, and the only question was by how big a margin.
Parading through the narrow streets at the head of a marching band, Kennedy evoked his brother's memory before one crowd of 2,000 by saying "I am here because I felt he would have wanted me to be here."
YOUNG. SEN. EDWARD M. Kennedy, D-Mass., last night stumped through the Polish and Italian sections of South Baltimore in support of Brewster. He told voters that Wallace opposed everything his brother, the late President John F. Kennedy, "stood for and lived for."
Regardless of the outcome of Tuesday's voting, convention delegates will be committed to a candidate only on the first ballot.

But this pastime has not always been socially acceptable. The march of time has brought a change in customs.
Sunbathing Evolves Here
It appears the spring sun has finally overcome the Mount Oread winds and rains. And with the appearance of Ole Sol come increased interest and participation in one of the favorite campus sports (no, not beaver shooting)—sumbathing.
The first time the young virgins would expose themselves to the rays of the sun would be on their wedding day.
In ancient times, the young maidens were kept underground in caves so their bodies would be illly white—a sign of purity.
So when the Sun God calls, the campus is besieged by loyal subjects who spread their blankets and bare themselves (to sunbathe, of course).
But today is is the golden bronze body that attracts the admiration of the opposite sex. The fair-complexioned man or woman is considered to be anemic and unhealthy.
Many students will spend the next two weeks studying for finals surrounded by an aroma of baby oil, cocoa butter, suntan lotion and burned motor oil.
