MIG Base Hit In 9th Raid Since April 24 By EDWIN Q. 1 WHITE SAIGON (AP) U.S. warplanes struck through heavy flak yesterday at North Vietnam's MIG base at Hoa Lac in the ninth of a series of raids since April 24 to keep that base out of operation. Bombs cratered the runway and a spokesman said initial reports indicated the field, 20 miles west of Hanoi, was again made unusable. The aim was to cancel out North Vietnamese repair work.

THOUGH THE groundfire was intense, Air Force Thunderchief pilots who staged the attack said none of the Soviet-built jet fighters rose to challenge them. The U.S. Command reported no U.S. losses but Hanoi's Vietnam News Agency claimed four American planes were shot down over North Vietnam. Ground fighting in South Vietnam lapsed i into scattered light clashes, the U.S.

Command said. Apparently both sides were regrouping for bigger clashes that are expected to come soon. Most American units held Memorial Day services. LT. GEN.

A joint communique issued by Philippine Foreign Secretary Narciso Ramos and Indonesian Foreign Minister Adam Malik at the end of their three-day talks here also said that two smaller alliances, the Association of Southeast Asia and Maphilindo, would not be replaced.

The communique explained that Philippine consent to the alliance was predicated on her own constitutional processes and on consultations with Thailand and Malaysia, her partners in Asia.

STALLINGS ALSO disclosed the public works department has three major projects it would like to get underway during the new fiscal year beginning July 1.

These include: Construction of the Briley Parkway between Harding Road and Charlotte Pike. The widening of Jefferson Street from 3rd Avenue to at least 28th Avenue. The widening of Charlotte Pike from 14th Avenue to 35th Avenue. Jefferson and Charlotte are to be converted into roads with four lanes for traffic, space for left-hand turn lanes and parking. This is part of the $29 million connector construction program.

"HOW MUCH we will be able to do will depend upon the availability of funds," Stallings said. In addition to the work on connector roads, he said the public works department during the 12-month period beginning July 1 I would carry on an improvement program for other Metro streets that will cost about $5 million. "This will include the resurfacing of many streets as well as major construction on others," he added. He said id not at the present time know how many miles would be improved. The public works department is preparing a request for bond funds in order to permit the launching of major projects, including the purchase of rights-of-way.

A loud speaker system was planted under Haynes' bed and as he dropped off to sleep, ghostlike-voice intoned: "Pete, this is Ed Crump. You double-crossed me in 1935." Haynes asked his roommate if he had heard the voice, and, of course, his roommate claimed he had heard nothing. Haynes went back to bed, only to be aroused again by the sepulchral voice from the tomb. It happened several times, but Pete's roommate kept swearing there was no sound. Finally Haynes reportedly leaped up on his bed and shouted: "If you're Mr.

He only Nigeria Alerts Army, Closes Some Ports LAGOS, Nigeria (AP)--The Nigerian central government mobilized its army last night and imposed an embargo on major ports in the Eastern region which seceded earlier yesterday.

Months of discord marked by bloodshed in coup and riot set the stage for the showdown between the Eastern chief, Lt. Col. C. 0. Ojukwu, and the head of Nigeria's military regime, Lt.

Col. Yakubu Gowon. and by set and OJUKWU declared his 300-square-mile region, which contains 14 million of the 56 million people in this former British colony, to be the independent Republic of Biafra. The name comes from the Bight of Biafra, a body of water bordering Eastern Nigeria's Atlantic shoreline. Gowon denounced the secession as an "act of rebellion." Implying that military action will be used to keep the region in the fold, Gowon said he regrets that "some innocent Nigerians in the Eastern states will suffer considerable hardship and possible loss of life in the hard days ahead." At the same time he said Easterners living in Lagos, the federal capital, should feel free to go about their business.

He ordered that authorities kill "on the spot" anybody caught molesting them. EASTERN NIGERIA is but one of five territories making up this most populous African nation. The others are Northern, Western, and Midwestern Nigeria and the Federal Territory of Lagos. of independence could mean the end of Nigeria. Chief Obafemi Awolowo of the Western region, which is dominated by Yoruba tribesmen, has said the West would consider itself automatically independent.

An independent West could cut off the Gowon government in Lagos from the Moslem-run North. Gowon, a Northerner, finds most of his support for a stronger federal setup in his home region. The Eastern declaration of independence could provoke splintering within regions. Protestants and pagans in the middle section of the North, for instance, want a separate state. Broadcasting from his capital, Enugu, Ojukwu said he proclaimed independence in the name of the people of the region, who "no longer can be protected in your lives and property by any government outside the Eastern region." HE SAID BIAFRA will adhere to the charters of the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations and will seek to remain in the British Commonwealth.

He pledged foreign nationals, their property and their businesses will be protected. Radio accounts from Enugu said green, red and black flags of the new state were raised in front of government offices and crowds took to the streets in major towns shouting "Biafra!" The U.S. Embassy and the British High Commission in Lagos said they were not advising their nationals in the East to leave. There are about 3,000 Britons and 2,000 Americans, including 125 Peace Corps volunteers, in the East. "We are standing fast," an American diplomat said.

Police armed with automatic weapons checked cars approaching the Dodan barracks, Gowon's headquarters on suburban Ikoyi Island. Gowon declared the Eastern ports of Harcourt, Calabar, Bonny and Edegema to be closed. He said shipping companies operating to those ports did so at their own risk.

Once she pulled into the rear of the ring of six American destroyers surrounding this massive carrier and tried to ease it out of position. "She tried to force our destroyer over, and I'd guess the Russian ship came within 1,000 yards, to the inside of us," said one seaman who observed the incident, "we didn't give."
