" There were calls for abolition such instruction, opinions that it should remain with cer- jain improvements, and recom- ndations that comparative religion courses should replace the present Judaeo - Christian- Oriented syllabus.

USE U.S. TACTICS The North Vietnamese have adapted tactics to the overpow- ering U.S. air and artillery power. Knowing that an attack against American forces invites Ut terauencn if the farm of air strikes and artillery, the North Vietnamese position their reserves, burial details and other support troops up to four miles from the action); scene. They wait untilthe battle has died down and U.S. forces are gathering up casualties and bringing in helicopters with sup- plies. Then the enemy troops ond blow at the American unit. They move over what U.S. of- ficers call 'high speed" trails, the paths cut into the jungle by North Vietnamese engineers and never travelled by Americans because of the possibility of mines and ambush. The North Vietnamese have shown ability to rebuild deci- mated units.

Prisoners taken in operation Paul Revere IV in recent days have told interrigators: "We get rice and medicine. We would like more, but we get along." Only 14 North Vietnamese prisoners have been taken by the 2nd Brigade, 4th U.S. In- tantry Division, in recent weeks. The Americans have killed nearly 300 enemy, GATHER LEAFLETS The brigade commander, Col, Judson F. Miller, said South Vietnamese government sur- render leaflets have been found on all the prisoners and the dead, tucked into their helmets, stuffed in their packs or hidden in deep pockets. North Vietnamese' prisoners all say they would prefer re- turning home to fighting in South Viet Nam, The malaria problem which decimated enemy ranks last year, according to prisoners picked up at that time, has been beaten, new prisoners say. Each enemy soldier takes four ma- lari& pills weekly. While the supply of food is adequate . . . for the North Viet- namese, there seems to be no problem in getting plenty of ammunition. In one attack on a 4th Division battalion, the en- emy fired 500 mortar rounds, a huge amount considering the ammunition had to be lugged through heavy jungle. American forays in the jungle are uncovering numerous en- emy supply caches. A typical Communist infantry- man will carry a pack heavier than that of his American coun- terpart. In it will be two weeks' ration of rice, plus ammunition and many grenades. After one recent engagement, U.S. forces discovered 150 packs fully loaded--apparently taken off prior to action and then abandoned. - Despite occasional reports of oreign advisers with the North Vietnamese, no concrete evi- = A Favoured Gift With Everyone BURNS SHOE STORE 1 King West Oshewed | DAVIDSON SHOES IN DOWNTOWN - OSHAWA ~ OPEN EVERY 'NIGHT 'til CHRISTMAS Falcon Futura Sports Coupe The look The beauty of buying a Falcon is that you can live it up so stylishly and save money at the same time.
