THIRTY-TWO PAGES -_ /MACHINE-GUNS BLAZING SAIGON (AP)--A small band of Viet Cong terrorists with ma- chine-guns blazing stormed and blasted a billet for American soldiers before dawn today, leaving nine dead and scores in- jured. Phe raiders escaped without a thee The bomb they used to Dlast the eight-storey Metropole hotel, ripping its front off in downtown Saigon, took the lives of an American marine, a New Zealand trooper and seven South Vietnamese. Americans number the high- est casualties with 72-wounded. Others were three New Zealand- ers and 62 South Vietnamese, mostly civilians. The Viet Cong also broke a three - day lull in the war to- day with attacks on government outposts from. the South China Sea to the central plains of the north. U.S. Navy Seabees were clearing the rubble left by the blast at the hotel. Ordnance disposal men be- lieve that the terrorists ex- ploded a 250-pound device. The blast came after an un- known number of Viet Cong opened fire on U.S. military po- lice and guards and South Viet- namese police with machine- guns. The terrorists then drove a truck loaded with the explosive to the front dodr and detonated it. They escaped in the dark- ness. Y: The blast shattered the facade of the hotel and blew out the fronts of other nearby build- ings. The hotel did not collapse, The explosion has been com- pared to the blasts that wrecked the U.S. Embassy and Saigon police headquarters ear- lier this year. Specialist William Seippel, a military policeman, was on SAIGON HOTEL BOMBED duty at the Metropole's front door. He and Vietnamese guards ducked for cover. when the light, explosive - laden truck stopped about 20 feet from them. They evaded the Viet Cong machine-gun bursts and Seippel blasted away with a 12-gauge shotgun and .45-calibre pistol. Three girls rushed to the doors of bars opposite the ho- tel to see what was going on. They were ripped to pieces when fhe truck blew up.

Demolition men said its battery was too weak, The street was a scene of smashed buildings, broken glass and bloodied clothing. Order was restored after the first few minutes of panic and the wounded were taken to a U.S. -- hospital across from the hotel. iAP AGRA ad 8 GLAU CRUSH SMITH OR ELSE BLACK AFRICA WARNS Ministers Mull Warfare, ° And A Split From Britain ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia Britain they would stand to lose (Reuters) -- 'African ministers) tra and other Common- today discussed propsects of|wealth benefits. marshalling a joint military).
