He said that U.S. military reports that a buildup of enemy forces north of Saigon may mean a new summer offensive could change the situation. Sen. Milton R.

Young, a memberof the select committee which gets intelligence reports from the CIA, said in a separate interview that if there is any change in military policy it evidently is being kept secret. He said there had been no mention of Vietnam in the meetings of Republican leaders with Nixon in the last two weeks. MartsfieM expressed hope that Hanoi would entertain Thieu's proposals.

CLASHES IN the area have increased in recent days.

American units have increased patrols end moved in reinforcements to counter the threat of enemy forces moving on foot and by sampan. In addition, the allied command has concentrated artillery and tactical air strikes on Nui Ba Den, or Black Virgin Mountain, a jungled, peak that dominates the flat ricelands along the Camobidian border. A week-long bombardment of Nui Ba Den was climaxed early yesterday when three B52 raids the first ever against the mountain considered sacred to some Vietnameseunloaded 540 tons of bombs in the area. The mountain is about seven miles northeast of Tay Ninh. ONE U.S.

officer later however, described the B52 Stratofortress raids as "a waste of time." A company of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division clashed with an enemy force early yesterday afternoon, several hours after the B52 raid, at the eastern base of Nui Ba Den, and lost two killed and 12 wounded. Associated Press correspondent Peter Arnett reported from Tay Ninh that the Americans pulled back and called in more artillery and tactical air strikes on the eastern slopes, later claiming a body count of 31 enemy. The enemy unit involved was believed to be the 9th Viet Cong Division, whose 1st Battalion, 88th Infantry Regiment, is holed up on Nui Ba Den's slopes. THE 9TH DIVISION, which as about 80 North Vietnamese troops, is a veteran unit whose traditional mission has been to attack Saigon.

Intelligence reports say this mission apparently has been recently changed, with Tay Ninh now the primary target. Tay Ninh is regarded by allied officers as a key enemy objective because of its proximity to enemy bases and staging areas in Cambodia, 10 miles to the west. -Staff photo by Robert Kollar OK, Boys, Come on Out Now! location to see it dynamited. The moonshiners came back to claim it and were arrested by the sheriff, who asked them to help him destroy it. SELMER McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser laughs as he looks in a still discovered on a dirt road about 12 miles from here.

Pusser brought newsmen to the still Sheriffs Field Trip Real Field Day of Smith's car and started taking pictures frantically. Whitley seemed a little surprised, but was very polite. He looked up from his seat on the cooker and said to Pusser: "Sheriff, why didn't you get here four hours ago and arrest us? It's too hot in this sun for this kind of work. We came back to get the tank because we thought you forgot about it." PUSSER SMXED, and a reporter asked if they would mind if their names and pictures were used in the paper. "No, sir, I'd say it would be good for my business, but you can see that I'm out of business.

Just call me by my first name," he said. WASHINGTON (AP) -Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said yesterday he believes President Nixon has quietly ordered a reduction of military pressure in Vietnam as part of an effort to move the Paris peace talks off deati center. The Montana senator said in an interview he bases this conclusion on the current lull in fighting and on evidence that the search-and-destroy missions inaugurated by the Johnson administration and continued by Nixon have been restricted, if not eliminated. MANSFIELD AND i assistant, Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy, have criticized the Nixon administration for keeping military pressure at a high level. They have contended this serves to feed doubts within the Viet Cong and in Hanoi that the United States is seriously trying to end the fighting. The Democratic leader supported Nixon's contention in a Friday statement that South Vietnam President Nguyen Van Thieu's proposal for free elections "should open the way at last for rapid settlement" of the war. BUT HE SAID this is only part of a pattern of moves that must be made in Saigon and Washington "to get the negotiations in Paris off dead center-and I mean dea'd center." "The lull in fighting in the last three weeks, plus the reduction in U.S. search-and-destroy missions ought to be helpful in getting realistic negotiations under way in Paris," he said.

"It should speed up the withdrawal of more American troops. "Thieu's announcement was an attempt to bring all of South Vietnam's persuasions together. This is a vital and necessary step toward working out the details of a mutual, simultaneous withdrawal of American and North Vietnamese troops." Mansfield said he Is reassured that U.S. military pressure was being reduced by the fact that "there have been no recent U.S. command announcements of missions being carried out.

"OUR operations now are more defensive than offensive square feet in the Hall of Fame and Museum building on 16th Avenue, South. "At present, the library is in the mezzanine area of the building," Gleaves said. "Right now it is very small, not really much more than a typewriter and a set of cabinets. That will be opened up as more area for display of the museum's various mementoes and artifacts. "The library will move down into the basement of the building," he continued, "and most of the area is already there, except for about 2,000 feet that are to be excavated under the present parking lot in the back of the building." GLEAVES SAID some of this expansion will include provision of more space for the offices of the Country Music Association.

The association's offices presently are located in one corner of the lower floor of the museum building. The expansion will initiate the library's user-affiliate relationship with the Joint University Libraries. The Peabody music library contains 14,000 volumes on music alone. Dr. Frank Grisham, director of the JUL, said he would estimate the JUL's 1,200,000 volumes provide 20,000 books in the field of music.

GRISHAM HAS been asked by the Country Music Foun CLIP THIS AD1 THIS Music Hall of Fame Plans see you here. We thought you boys would be long gone." This is how it happened. THE SHERIFF was back in his office for the first time Friday after a week of operations in a Memphis hospital. He later said he wasn't feeling too well. Deputies located the moonshine tank Wednesday on a dirt road about 12 miles from here and charged Bo and Phi Hip McClain, 33, of Selmer, with making the illegal mash.

Pusser was expecting newsmen to come Friday to take pictures. "I thought you might want to see a real still get blown up, so I told my boys to hold it," Pusser, who stands six and a half feet tall and weighs 250 pounds, told the visiting reporters. AS PUSSER got in his 1969 air-conditioned Ford complete with red racing stripes on the sides, he was asked by a reporter: "Hey, sheriff, what happens if the moonshiners beat us out there and took the still?" "They wouldn't dare," retorted the man who used to wrestle bears in a circus side show. While waiting for deputies Alton Smith and P. B.

Plunk and state Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents Charles Stanley and Perry Brown to arrive with the dynamite, Pusser discussed his career. HE WAS the subject of a recent ballad. More than 100,000 copies of the record, "The Ballad of Buford Pusser," have been sold. BO HELPED the agents set the six charges of dynamite under the tank. He even suggested that a mud packing would help completely destroy the tank, which formerly held gasoline in a service station.

By CHARLES THOMPSON TENNESSEAN Staff Correspondent SELMER Sheriff Buford Pusser, who has earned a nationwide reputation for busting moonshine stills, snared two accused extra-legal whisky makers and their truck Friday and all quite by accident. Oldtimers around Selmer's courthouse dubbed it McNairy County's funniest raid, and it seemed humorous work to Pusser, victim of a dozen stab wounds and eight bullet holes during his six years in office. "NOBODY WAS more surprised than me when you guys drove up and caught me," said Matthew (Bo) Whitley, 28, of McNairy County, who was charged with possessing an illegal still. Pusser, 31, disagreed. "Listen, Bo," he said, "we were all pretty surprised to or auto wash shops but oil and lubrication centers designed to meet a need of our modern society," Dyke said.

At this time there are three Kwik-Change centers in operation; the original unit in Huntsville, one in Jacksonville, and one in Nashville, all company owned. "This latest sale, which is a really exciting step for us, makes a total of 330 franchises sold in 12 states," said Dockery. "When we opened the first unit in Huntsville a year ago, we knew we were on the right track. Now, all the investment and efforts to improve this new concept are beginning to bear fruit," he added.

"I have been for tax reform for a long time," he said. "BUT REFORM has been a long time coming and I think we can wait a little longer.

The orderly way to proceed is to wait for the bill now being drafted in the House Ways and Means Committee." The committee hopes to complete its work around Aug. 1. The Senate Democratic Policy Committee has voted unanimously to link the surtax extension and reform issues. Williams said much of the demand for immediate reform in the Senate is coming from Democrats who will not vote to continue the surtax no matter how many reform provisions are added to the bill. Miracle, Indeed LANSING, Mich.

(UPI) -Atty. Gen. Frank J. Kelley thinks lawyers have trouble with complex legal language. Kelley, who has been reading about the Mackinc Bridge in connection with an opinion he had to write, summed up the legalese with this comment Thursday: "In this regard, I can hardly refrain from commenting that the miraculuos engineering achievement of spanning the Straits of Mackinac is almost matched by the intricate legal and financial system devised to furnish paper support for the physical structure."

The bill, he said, already contains some meaningful tax reforms. He said his suggested course of action did not foreclose others.

"This does suggest," he said, "that the idea of a full and comprehensive overhaul of the Internal Revenue Code should await the many months of study that such a task requires if it is to be done in a thorough and thoughtful fashion." LONG SAID the political division, with the Republicans in control of the White House and the Democrats in control of Congress, made it "more important than ever that members on both sides of the aisle should be responsible in providing the President with the revenue he needs to sustain government and the support he needs to defend the nation." Sen. John J. Williams, senior Republican on the Finance Committee, said in an interview yesterday he hopes to bring a committee majority around to his view dation to serve as building consultant for the planning and construction of the library facilities in the museum building. Gleaves and Dr. Thomas Warren, a Peabody graduate student who works parttime at the Hall of Fame library now, will develop the building program.

The user-affiliate relationship worked out by Dr. Grisham, whereby the libraries would make their collections available to such organizations as the Country Music Foundation for an established fee, will enable the Hall of Fame's growing library of tape recordings, clippings, songbooks and song sheets to be backed up by the extensive book resources of the JUL. Gleaves said the Hall of Fame also hopes eventually to have a large videotape section in its library. GLEAVES SAID he, Dr. Grisham, Dr.

Warren and Nashville architect John T. Morgan had been engaged in making studies and recommendations which recently have been approved by the Country Music Foundation board of directors. Gleaves has been working on studies of the project for nearly a year and a half. He made his first recommendations to the Country Music Association in a report dated Mar. 15, 1968.

222 Franchises (Continued from Page One) Houston, and plan to have 39 units in operation by the end of 1970, with the great majority of the 222 to be in operation in the next five years. "With our experience in franchising and operation of our Stop n' Go markets in many states, we anticipate a rapid but well founded development of our Kwik-Change program," said Dyke. "The Kwik-Change concept is different from any other retail operation in the country," Dyke continued, "and one which our surveys indicate will be readily accepted by the general public." "These are not gas stations The charge went off sending shards of metal hundreds of feet in the air and spraying everybody with mash. As the officers were examining the remains of the tank and hole in the ground and Pusser was formally charging Bo and Phillip for possessing moonshine equipment, Bo looked up and said: "Well there goes another good thing up in smoke. I guess I need six months off anyway." Pusser answered him: WOULDN't worry about it, Bo, the judge is likely to give you more than six months off." The sheriff told the pair; that since they were already each under $1,000 bond and he had a more than passing acquaintance with them, he would not jail them.

"You won't go anywhere, will yo, Bo?" he asked. "Sheriff, you know all my customers are in McNairy County," Bo answered. Then he asked the lawman if he would mind giving him and Phillip a ride home. Pusser said he was happy to oblige. "I can't see being mean to anybody that isn't mean to me.

That's the secret of law enforcing," Pusser said. Recently, a major television network devoted 30 minutes of prime evening time to a documentary of Pusser' career as chief law officer of McNairy County. In addition to his stab and bullet wounds, he has been frequently beat over the head with pipe wrenches and metal chairs in his attempt to enforce the law in this West Tennessee County. He has been left for dead twice by gunmen. About two years ago, he was ambushed on a country road.

His 33-year-old wife, Pauline, was killed in a hail of bullets. PUSSER'S JAW was literally ripped off in another burst of rifle fire. Since that time he has undergone plastic surgery four times. His operations last week was made to graft skin from his arm to his face. The sheriff did not want to drive his car off the hardtop a mile up the dirt road to the still.

It was about 2:30 p.m., and the sun was beating down. It was 100 degrees in the shade. He told Smith, a heavy-set, red-faced man, to drive the agents, Plunk and the dynamite to the still "in that common old cop car of yours" and to come back and get him and the reporters. Smith's car was air conditioned. They were gone about 10 minutes when the police radio crackled.

It was Smith saying excitedly: "WE GOT THEM. We got them. Bo and Phillip were up here trying to haul off the tank." Pusser almost jumped six feet in the air. "I can't believe this. What would have happened if we got all the way out here and found that they had hauled the thing off?" Smith reconstructed Bo's and Phillip's arrest as he drove back to the still with Pusser: "I DROVE around the tree line and saw this old, beat-up pickup truck with Phillip hanging on for dear life on top of the still.

I yelled 'Hi, you Bo said, 'Not too and I said, 'Fine, you're under arrest!" The newsmen jumped out (Continued from Page One) quite excited by the possibilities of the project," said Edwin S. Gleaves, director of the Peabody College library school. As evidence of its seriousness in the project, the Hall of Fame board has secured a user-affiliate relationship with Nashville's Joint University Libraries (JUL) the academic facility which consists of the collections of Vanderbilt University and Peabody and Scarritt colleges. GLEAVES, WHO has been serving as library consultant for the Country Music Foundation during study of the project, said the academic community sees the project as useful in accumulating the facts surrounding a legitimate area of study. "I am extremely pleased that the Country Music Foundation would want to put this kind of money into something that is really a labor of love," Gleaves said.

Foundation officials said there could be no cost estimates until bids are received on contracts to be let soon. Gleaves indicated both he and the foundation are hoping to begin actual construction before the end of the summer.
