Airborne units already have pushed beyond the newest bridge, four miles southeast of the provincial capital, but it is needed for the resupply of advancing government forces.

Los Angeles (AP) The judge in the Pentagon papers case ruled yesterday that Daniel --Ellsberg and Anthony Russo fhave not proved that the gov-; ernment singled them out for prosecution because of their antiwar views. United States District Court Judge William M.

Byrne Jr. denied a request for dismissal of espionage, conspiracy and theft charges and refused to allow a special hearing in which defense proposed calling witnesses to support its contention that Russo and Ellsberg being prosecuted unfairly. HOWEVER, Byrne ordered the government to give him written material that the prosecuting authority has the reasons for initiating charges against the defendants." He said this would include letters and memos telephone calls. Should that information show any discriminatory conduct, CByrne said, "this matter will reopened by me on my own In a flurry of rulings that the way for the trial to 'Start next Monday, Byrne also 3 The Shirley truiyj, remembered TELEPHONES lll-W (Mala SwitdiBaarl) Ma-fju (Haaia Dallanr Sanica) UJ-mi (Mall SatacrtatlaM) Willi (Qalcli-Attlan Want Aft) WASHINOTON URIAU 4 Natlanal frail talMlaf WatMattaii D.C.
