The offensive itself already was the heaviest since the Communists seized sectors of several South Vietnamese cities, including the capital, in 1969 and held them for weeks. Clouds did not, however, stop U.

S. helicopters from flying support for the South Vietnamese troops and rescuing the handful of American advisers and artillery spotters trapped on bases near the DMZ by the offensive. One American Marine lieutenant died while being carried by helicopter from the abandoned government base where he was an adviser. The South Vietnamese command claimed its troops were still in the area of bases they had abandoned and would take the counter-offensive shortly to reoccu-py them. But military sources returning from Quang Tri Province said the government troops were retreating southward in disarray.

The command said that 17 small army support units, an Air Force communications squadron and the only Navy light attack air squadron remaining in Vietnam are being phased out. They have a total authorized strength of 2140 men.

Tens of thousands of Italians and foreign pilgrims packed Rome's churches for midnight masses. Pope Paul VI began the feast for Roman Catholics with an Easter Vigil Mass a few hours earlier in the magnificence of the basilica.

Before beginning Mass, the pope carved a cross on a huge decorated candle and lit the wick to symbolize Christ as the light of the world. A procession carried the lighted candle into the darkened church. "Here is Christ, the light," a deacon chanted three times.
