WHITE SAIGON (AP)--Hard hit by a big combined operation which rescucd a huge rice harvest, the Viet Cong struck back to- ey with twin mine explosions at killed 47 South Vietnamese farmers and wounded seven. Allied ground forces reported killing 150 Viet Cong in scat- tered clashes in the last 24 hours, while U.S. planes ham- mered targets in North Viet Nam. But guerrillas overran the Dirk Mon outpost in the Me- . HIS EEO LATTE kong' Delta and killed or cap- tured all 11 defenders. The Viet Cong mines were set off on a road 10 miles south- west of Tuy Hoa, on the cen- tral coast where the U.S. 101st Airborne, South Korean marines and South Vietnamese troops have been scouring the country- side for several weeks while the rice was being harvested. An American spokesman said the Viet Cong touched off the first blast about 7:30 a.m., catching a busload of farmers and killing 27 of them. TPE Tin The mine blew a crater al- most three yards deep, hurled the bus into a canal and strewed bodies about. IGNITES SECOND BLAST A crowd gathered to watch a crane lifting the bus out of the canal shortly before noon. A three-wheeled vehicle that came on the scene set off the second mine, killing another 20 South Vietnamese and wounding seven, Observers said the twin blasts probably were the biggest 'er- te NET rorist toll of the war. _last of such fatal proportior'$ was at the My Canh floating restau- = in Saigon where 42 persons were Milled and 80 wounded last June 25,\(965. The mining evidently was in retaliation for the rice harvest- ing, which has been highly suc- cessful in an area that until re- cently had to import 600 tons a month because the Viet Cong controlled a major portion of the crop.
