The enemy' siege was officially declared broken Friday after a 20,000 man allied relief column moved within a mile of the base and began fanning out around it. But the first linkup of relief forces with the 6,400 man Khe Sanh garrison mostly U.S. Marinescame today when heli copters lifted a company of South Vietnamese paratroopers into the' base. Just before the paratroopers landed, the 400 South Vietnamese rangers who haye been holding the Khe Sanh base's southern perimeter charged out and seized enemy trenchlines extending as far as 200 yards from thc periirteter.

They met no resistance. In one trench, the rangers reported finding the bodies of three North Vietnamese sol: diers, all well equipped. They apparently wcre hit when U.S. artillery and air strikes pounded the trenches. Earlier, about 1,000 Marines had moved nearly two miles southwest of the base in an effort to root out North Vietnamese troops lurking in the hills near the Laotian border.

South Vietnamese' troops were expected to take over defense of most of the fwo square mile fortress, opening the way to withdraw some cf the Marines or send them out on additional offensive thrusts. U.S. commanders once expected one of the biggest battles of the war to develop at Khe Sanh, and estimated that 20,000 enemy troops surrounded the base. But the latest estimate was that only. 7,000 enemy soldiers rernained and the rest had withdrawn into the mountains'" toward Laos under massive U.S.

air attacks. Started Monday The relief force sellout Monday on Operation Pegasus, and parts of it swept the mountains east, south and west of Khe Sanh today. But the biggest push involved a Marine column. of tanks, artillery and engineers reopening Highway 9, the only overland supply route to the base. The column was reported three miles east of Khe ''westward' push" Highway 9 has been closed since August, partly by enemy action and partly by monsoon weather.

A U.S. general said re op'ening it "will give us a good solid base for offensive operations in thc Khe Sanh area. We won't have to depend on air as we were all last winter." The general added, "From here on in, it's mainly a one sidedsided affair." U.S. air cavalrymen supported by armed helicopters reported killing 50 Norlh Vietnamese late Friday near thc town of Khe Sanh, two miles south of the Marine Base. The enemy seized the town last January and turned it into a regimental headquarters.

Earlier, cavalrymen fought an estimated 150 enemy troops four miles east of the town. Nine enemy and one American wcre reported killed. South VietnameseYheadquar tcrs reported today that Viet Cong gunners continued scattered spellings, causing only light casualties. Three allied airfields and three government military posts wcre hit with mortars and rockets Friday night and today, after 11 allied installations h'ld been hit jn the previous 24 hour period..
