The clash in Lincoln Park, which runs several miles along tiie North Side lakefronl, was sparked by Ihe proleslcrs' refusal lo obey a police order lo clear Ihe park for an 11 p.m. curfew. The group quickly erected a barricade of picnic lables and trash cans in one corner of the park against some 600 policemen massed in a parking lot opposite them, and chanted: "Hell no, we won't go. The parks belong lo Ihe people." "This is Ihe final warning," a police loudspeaker boomed. "We have information that some persons in the crowd in- lend lo injure police officers.

By the light of flares from circling support planes, Ihe Americans cul down at least 27 enemy soldiers. U.S. headquarters estimates 7,500 enemy slain in the intensified Viet Cong assaults of the last nine days, and (he Communist command appeared to be shifting lo less costly rocket nd mortar attacks. The allied command reported heavy barrages al camps and (owns from the demilitarized zone south to Ihe Mekong Delia.

In addition to (he 200-shell barrage al Fire Base Rawlins, aboul 50 miles northwest of Saigon, enemy gunners raked four other posls along Ihe infiltration roule northwest of the cily. Two of the camps were hit by light infantry assault? Shellings were reported al a dozen Soulh Vietnamese and American camps in the Mekong Delta and in the Due Lap area where more than 800 enemy died attempting lo overrun a U.S. Special Forces camp over the weekend. Enemy gunners in (he Due Lap area also shot down a twin- engine Caribou Iransporl plane A1nnd.iv nnd a fround nalrol lhat reached the wreckage found the three American crewmen dead. Air reinforcement of Due Lap appeared to be risky still.

Along the demilitarized zone, North Vietnamese gunners opened up Monday and today with (he heaviest shellfire there in several weeks. U.S. Marine bases at Dong Ha, Cua Viel and below Con Thien caught almost 250 rounds, many of them from 130mm guns firing from North Vietnam. Braced for an expected third enemy offensive, the allied command send B52 bombers lo drop some 750 Ions of bombs Monday night and today, mostly on the northwest approaches to Saigon and on the inland flank of the demilitarized zone. The pattern of enemy assaults over (he past nine days has allied officers puzzled however.

There was speculation lhat instead of launching massive (bird wave assaults lhal were generally expected, Ihe Communist command might gradually accelerate Ihe pace, as il appears to be doing. But allied officers emphasized it was still loo early to tell. U.S. forces continued mopping up operations at Due Lap and near Tarn Ky. along the highway between Da Nang and Chu Lai, where another big batlle was fought over the weekend.
