Furious Fighting Over Cong Base SAIGON (AP)--American and Viet Cong forces were locked in furious battle late today for a major Communist base in the jungle of War Zone C near the Cambodian border. One U.S. helicopter was shot down and U.S: ground casualties were termed "'significant." In the air war, the U.S. com- mand announced that air force jets, led by a 44-year-old Sec- ond World War ace, blew out the blast furnaces of North Vietnam's Thai Nguyen steel plant 37 miles north of Hanoi Thursday. More than 2,000 men of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division were battling troops of the Viet Cong's 27ist Regiment in the Zone C jungle northeast of Tay Ninh City. Late today the Amer- icans were reported stalled some 300 yards from the em- battled Viet Cong camp, which was being battered by air strikes and artillery fire. The Viet Cong replied with mortar barrages into the Amer- ican positions. Helicopters braved heavy fire to bring in reinforcements and haul out the dead and wounded Americans. The battle developed from a Viet Cong attack on a ist Divi- sion reconnaissance platoon of about 50 men that was badly hurt.

She urged a cheering Ala- bama legislature to hand down a "cease-and-desist" ultimatum to a three-judge federal court which said nine days ago all public schools in the state, in- cluding their faculties, must be desegregated by next Septem- ber. And she asked the legislature, in a speech Thursday night, to vest her with authority to take over the schools now held by the state school superintendent so she can refuse to carry out the court order. = GOVERNOR WALLACE . « cease, desist See Page 17 Today's Times for Special Want Ad Week Offer. | She was interrupted by ap- plause 20 times during her 30- minute speech in the. chamber where 106 years ago Alabama seceded from the union at the outset of the civil war.

Hanoi Asks Ottawa Fugitive Ready A spokesman for the hospital, a 525-bed rehabilitation centre for persons injured in industrial accidents, said an area contain- ing about 100 beds was de- stroyed or damaged by the fire. He said the hospital would continue normal operations. Ar-' jrangements were being. made with other hospitals to take some patients. None of the patients brought to other hospitals had been cri- tically injured. One: had suf- |fered a broken leg, another hurt jhis back. Some have been re- jleased. Joe Barbeau of Peterborough, one of the patients who an- xiously watched the scene of the fire in safety, said afterwards a small yard enclosed by the hospital buildings looked like a "courtyard of death." Dozens of patients were at the windows screaming for help. They tied sheets, blankets and window drapes together and climbed down, choking and al- most blind from the smoke. FELL ON GLASS Sometimes the hastily - tied knots came undone and a man would plunge down two or three floors, landing on broken glass and chairs used to break the windows to get air to breathe. "Tl never forget it,' Barbeau said. "They couldn't get ladders to them'and we couldn't get through the corridors and we just had to stand there and stare. I never felt so useless in my life." Firemen finally go two lad- ers through from the front of the building and helped several patients who were still hanging out the windows.

They said that neither his prestige nor his usefulness as a special emissary has / been hurt by his public criticism of American bombing of North . Vietnam. External Affairs Minister Martin told a reporter here Thursday that Hanci has been asking for the whereabouts of the retired Canadian diplomat | who participated in peace talks with Hanoi last year. Martin said that if this is fol- lowed by the slighest indication that North Vietnam wants to engage in further talks, Ron ning will be dispatched at once by the Canadian government. RONNING COMMENTS In Canada, Ronning said in a telephone interview from his home at Camrose, Alta., that he had received no indications of a new peace move from Hanoi. Asked whether he would be A available if such moves were made, the diplomat said that Martin "is in charge," and that he would wait for Martin's suggestions before taking any action. Martin said that if North Viet- nam would give assurance that it would not increase arms and supplies to the Viet Cong during @ truce, this could be taken as the first. step in reducing the escalating war. U Thant, United Nations sec- retary-general, has announced his new peace plan, calling for a@ general standstill truce, pre- liminary American-North Viet- namese talks followed by a new Geneva conference. The U.S. quickly accepted but Hanoi re- acted negatively. Martin has been a strong ad- vocate of using the Interna- tional Truce Commission~man- ned by Canada, Poland and India--as a peace supervisory instrument. But he said it would take months to expand the com- mission to supervise a complete ceasefire. Some _ supervision could be provided immediately in the demilitarized zone.
