TAY NINH, Viet Nam (Reuters) South Vietnamese troops today captured a big Communist guerrilla weapons factory 20 miles northeast of this provincial capital.

The operation was based on information given by guerrilla defectors. The jungle factory near the Cambodian border had an electrical generator, heavy industrial lathes, drills, machine presses, smelters and 30 tons of copper and iron. The factory, hidden from the air by dense jungle foliage, is in an area called "Duong Minh Chau."

(UPI) Police said two persons were injured Sunday night by a bomb "either thrown or put" in an alley behind a row of Negro homes.

Two loads of spectators who gathered after the explosion were hauled away in paddy wagons when they refused police orders to move on. Police Commissioner Eugene (Bull) Connor called his entire force back to duty after the blast ripped the end out of one house and demolished a parked car. Last Dec. 17 a bomb damaged four Negro homes and the Bethel Baptist Church in the city. Twelve children rehearsing a Christmas play inside the church and an infant in one of the houses were injured in that explosion, caused by dynamite sticks packed in lead pipe.

The damaged church had been used for pro-integration activities. The bombers were not found.

Rolvaag also is expected to ask for the resignation of Rolland F. Hatfield, tax commissioner. Hatfield, another appointee of outgoing Gov. Elmer L. Andersen, has a six-year term which ends in 1969.

He also has indicated he will not resign. A third Andersen ap- i pointce, James Swadburg. 27, state securities commissioner, offered his resignation to Andersen in a letter that arrived today at the governor's office. It was accepted. Sources close to Rolvaag said he would press for the resignation of some of the Andersen appointees, but no action will be taken until the new governor takes office.

It is unlikely the senate will confirm any more appointments recommended by Andersen and still pending. "You notice there haven't been any confirmations for some time. When this governor thing started to churn up, we stopped anything," said Sen. John Zwach. Conservative majority leader.

Michael O'Donnell, a Rolvaag worker in the cam- I paign, was on hand today to take over as the new gover-! nor's legislative assistant. Joseph Scislowicz will be the governor's press secretary.
