The GI was among more than 100 wounded in Viet Cong attacks on American compounds at Pleiku. Sentry, Now A Dead Hero, Probably Saved Others PLEIKU, Viet Nam UPi -Things were bad at Pleiku, but they probably would have been much worse if Spec. 5 Jesse A.

Pyle hadn't been alert. Pyle, a Korean War veteran from Marina, was on duty early yesterday at a listening post a few yards from the American senior officers' quarters at the Pleiku air base. Pyle apparently heard noises after 'Viet Cong infiltrators slipped past South Vietnamese guards outside the compound. The sentry surprised the guerrillas as they were planting explosive charges. He began firing.

The guerrillas immediately detonated the-ir charges, and Pyle caught the full blast of one of the explosions. He died while being taken to the infirmary. The Viet Cong followed up with a mortar attack. In all, eight Americans were killed and more than 100 wounded. But U.S.

officers said many more probably would have been killed if Pyle had not surprised the i Tshombe MOSCOW --UPI-- The official Soviet news agency Tass said that right after the end of his "negotiations" with his "Belgian masters," Congolese Premier Moise Tshombe "the lackey" received a tip from the Belgian Union Miniere Company. The "tip" as Tass put if was a check for more than 92 million francs ($1.84 million). Communists before they had all their explosives in place. "We were lucky. God, we were lucky," said a U.S.

Army major who had been sleeping in the officers' quarters nearby. Resolution Authorizes Retaliation WASHINGTON UPI -The U. S. action against North Viet Nam presumably was taken under terms of a joint resolution passed by the House and Senate last Aug. 7 following North Vietnamese torpedo boat attacks on U.

S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. The resolution said that supports the determination of the President, as commander in chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression." It also said the United States is "prepared, as the President determines, to take all necessary steps, to assist any member or protocol state of the Southeast Asia collective defense treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom." Pyle was married to a Korean he met in 1952 while he was fighting the Communists there. They have three daughters, aged 11, 6 and 2. Pyle was transferred to Viet Nam last November from Ft.

Ord, Calif. His family remained at the home in Marina, near Ft. Ord. Mrs. Pyle wept at the news.

Bill Mauldin, the GI cartoonist of World War II, was visiting his son at Pleiku when the Communists attacked. The son, Bruce, 22, is a helicopter pilot. "This thing woke me up about 2 a.m.," the cartoonist reported. "Col. Hughes (Lt.

Col. John C. Hughes of Herrin, 111.) dashed out to go to work, and I dashed out to take care of myself. "I ran out the back door and found an American soldier badly wounded by mortar fragments. I tried to help this kid who was hit to get to my cot until the barrage ended.

I assumed I had the only casualty with me at the time. I called out for help in getting him to the infirmary. "On the way, there was a big stream of wounded moving toward the infirmary, but everything was orderly, no panic or anything. We'd been hit very hard with a heavy, sudden barrage, but everyone was doing his job quietly and efficiently. "The infirmary was a real charnel house.

Everything was covered with hlood. Half the medics were' hurt themselves, but the work went on. All these people behaved like professionals." Tucson Ripple Sole Shoe Week!

EVE, TUCSON-PHOENIX MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1965 MIGS POISED IN NORTH VIET NAM U. S. Ready To Meet Red Chinese Jets MIG jet fighters, poised on the Hanoi airdrome and manned by Red Chinese pilots, are among the "eventualities" for which Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara says the United States is prepared. McNamara took note of (his factor yesterday in discussing bat aircraft, McNamara said, then added: aUX" 6 Tat 3 ve Cdom SS MIG aircraft into North Viet of Dong Hoi, 45 miles across the Communist North Vietnamese border.

The strike at Dong Hoi, in retaliation for the Communist attack on a South Viet Nam base which killed eight and wounded more than 100 Americans, produced heavy fires and substantial damage, the Navy pilots said. But bad weather prevented other U.S. and South Vietnamese planes from reaching three other assigned targets. The defense chief, during his packed press conference at the Pentagon, said that a battalion of Hawk antiaircraft -missiles was being sent to the big South Vietnamese air base of Da Nang, near (he border, which is used by U.S forces. The Hawk battalion is being sent into Viet Nam from "the far Pacific," McNamara said.

This could mean it is from Okinawa. When questioned about other moves being taken in the taut situation, McNamara answered cryptically and cautiously. He said that "without discussing the unit movements of any which we have made" he simply wanted to say that forces are alert and prepared for whatever eventuality developes. He was asked his assessment of air power in North Viet Nam. Unti! relatively recently, North Viet Nam had no com- Nam, presumably to be operated for the account of the North Vietnamese.

We have simply taken necessary precautions to protect Da Nang and other areas against their use." McNamara's remarks yesterday about the Chinese planes appeared to relate to something he said last August: There were indications that "a number of Chinese Communist" MIG 15s and MIG 17s had been introduced into North Viet Nam. This, he said, had been expected because of known preparations such as lenthening runways of the Hanoi airfield complex for jet use. Both Navy carriers and U.S. Air Force units in South Viet Nam operate reconnaissance planes both for general military intelligence and to check targets before and after strikes. The MIG 15s and 17s referred to by McNamara in his comment last August are older models of the Soviet-designed jets.

Used as fighter bombers, they could be dangerous to base, airfields and cities. They can carry ,37 and 23 millimeter guns, rockets or tote two bombs under either wing. But they would be a poor match for the supersonic jet warplanes of the U.S. Air Force and Navy in any challenge to air strikes. Eight Dead Americans Identified WASHINGTON UPI The Defense Department has made public the names of eight U.S.

servicemen killed in Communist sneak attacks on U.S. bases in South Viet Nam Saturday. The Navy pilot whose plane was shot down by Communist groundfire in U. S. retaliatory raids on North Viet Nam yesterday was identified as Lt.

Edward Dickson of Wyoming, Pa. He was seen to parachute into the sea, and a search was in progress. The Americans dead in the guerrilla attack on Pleiku are: Army Capt. George Markos, whose wife Billie lives at Melbourne, Fla. Spec.

RUSSIAN LINK PONDERED Did Hanoi Order Attack As Pressure On Soviet? By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON U.S. i officials are deeply puzzled about Russia's link if any -with the weekend wave of Communist guerrila a a American installations in South Viet Nam. Was the operation encouraged and supported by the Soviet Union as part of its current maneuver to gain influence with North Vietnamese leaders? Did Red China and the men in Hanoi conspire to set a trap of embarrassment for Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin, timed to his arrival in Hanoi Saturday? Or did the North Vietnamese organize the attacks strictly on their own as a pressure play to squeeze more military aid out of Kosygin than he planned to offer them? At the moment Washington authorities believe that the pressure play theory is TUCSON DAILY CITIZEN Published Dally Except Sunday by Citizen publishing Co. 208 North Stone Avt.

They think the North Vietnamese pulled a fast one on Kosygin in the hope of getting a bigger slice of Soviet help. They reason it this way: The timing of the attacks in South Viet Nam early Sunday morning, a few hours after Kosygin's arrival in Hanoi, could not have been accidental. Somebody wanted to something.

Russia, which has trade and other interests in the West, would probably not see any gain and might see some loss in being identified with the killing of Americans in South Viet Nam. Kosygin and Soviet' Communist party boss Leonid Brezh- nev only a week ago sent word to Washington that the Soviet government was interested in President Johnson's proposal for an exchange of visits. This response was taken here as an encouraging indication of Soviet interests in improving relations with the United States. Dangerously heating up the war in Viet Nam would clearly run contrary to such an interest and, indeed, what happened this weekend could be a blow to the whole project, depending on what the future shows about Soviet policy in Southeast Asia.
