Jets Raid North Viet Nam SAIGON (Reuters) -- Forty- two U.S. Navy jet and propel- ler-driven aircraft made an- other raid on North Viet Nam today. The planes attacked a radar installation and other military targets with bombs, rockets and napalm today on Bac Long Vi Island, 120 miles southeast of Hanoi in the Tonkin Gulf. The same radar station was hit by navy aircraft four days jago. Today's strike was the first time American aircraft have bombed the same target Gr eatest oop tomegl a on North At least one navy plane was |shot down by ground fire today but the pilot was rescued from the ocean. (Peking radio 'said initial re- ports from Hanoi said two U.S. planes were downed and many others damaged in the raid.) The pilot who led today's strike told reporters his planes left targets with smoke and flames billowing from them and econdary explosions going off. He described the attack as successful and said there was "substantial damage' to the primary target, the radar installation. About 45 tons of ordnance was dropped on the targets, he said. 18 FARTHEST NORTH The island of Bac Lo lies about 10 miles north of the 20th parallel and is the farthest north that American or South Vietnamese planes have pene- trated in their strikes. Thirty aircraft took part in the bombing strike, the 13th on North Viet Nam since the raids began Feb. 7. Twelve others carried out flak suppression missions and patrolled to inter- cept any enemy planes that might appear, although none were sighted. All the aircraft came from the 7th Fleet attack carrier Coral Sea, which forms part of the 7th Fleet's carrier striking force cruising in the South China Sea. Would Turn SELMA, Ala, (AP) -- Civil rights leaders say they will be- gin a move in about two weeks to have Governor George C. Wallace impeached and to turn all of Alabama into one mass demonstration in their battle to register Negro voters. 5 "We're going to start our next -. campaign at the top and go down to the bottom," said Rev. James Bevel in a speech to a mass Negro rally Sunday night. He told:the group that by mid- April civil rights. groups in Ala- bama would have their drive under way to get Wallace out of office. The civil rights movement also will expand shortly to the steel city of Birmingham, the port city of Mobile and to every town and hamlet in Alabama, said Bevel, who is one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s top spokesmen. He declared that demonstra- tions also will be stepped up at Montgomery, the capital, and will be taken into the white res- idential sections of.Selma in de- fiance of a directive from a fed- eral judge if certain conditions are not. met to the satisfaction of Negroes.
