VOL. LXIV, NO. 114 POCATELLO, IDAHO, TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1965 TEN CENTS Missile Boy Drowns Sites Blasted One Site Desrroyed, One Damaged in Raid On North Viet Nam WASHINGTON (AP) A flight of 46 Air Force fighter- bombers today knocked out one antiaircraft missile site and damaged another in North Viet Nam. Three FI05 fighter-bombers were shot down, the Pentagon reported, by what was as "intense conventional ground- fire" during the low-level attack on two previously undis covered surface-to-air missile sites about 40 miles northwest of Hanoi. The two sites, using semim.fr bile equipment which could be put in place in as little as 24 hours, are in addition to five sites previously identified as under construction around Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital.

The U.S. attack was launched three days after a U.S. plane was shot down by fire from one of the missile sites. One Destroyed Asst. Secretary of Defense Arthur Sylvester told a news conference that U.S.

pilots reported destruction of one of the new sites and damage to the other. Photographic evaluation of the strike results has not been completed, Sylvester said. "There were no reports of missiles fired at the attacking planes or of hostile air action." the announcement said. Officials said "conventional ordnance" was used in the attack, They did not specify, but delayed action bombs were probably used, a practice customary in low level attacks. Sylvester said the new sites were identified "by thorough analysis of all of the evidence, including photography, after a loss of an Air Force F4C on the night of July 24." Until now, the Defense Department had stood on a statement that it was investigating the reports that the F4C had been downed by a missile similar to those which the Russians emplaced in Cuba.

"Pilot reports had indicated that the plane may have been downed by a SAM (surface to air) missile," Sylvester said. "Tlie aircraft was out of range of the original five sites which encircle Hanoi but was within range of what'proved to be two new sites. "It was concluded that the F4C was shot down by a SAM missile from one of the two new sites attacked today." Thus, the announcement add ed, it was decided to destroy the two semi-mobile sites "which were protecting areas in which priority military targets lie."
