Assault by air SAIGON (AP) U.S. helicopters landed hundreds of South Vietnamese marines north of Quang Tri City today, putting Saigon forces on three sides of the enemy-held provincial capital. Field reports said the American helicopters ran into heavy antiaircraft fire, and at least two of them were shot down. But their crews were reported rescued. The U.S.

Command said it had no additional information on the loss of the helicopters, which were from carriers of the coast. The Marines were landed 2Vz miles north-northwest of the city, on the eastern side of the Thach Han River opposite the Quang Tri combat base. For the fifth successive day, entrenched North Vietnamese forces managed to stall the South Vietnamese drive to recapture the city lost 10 weeks ago.

Meyner, announced yesterday at their Phillipsburg home that she will be the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from the 13th District. ATLANTIC CITY (AP) -The new national leader of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks says the organization's "all-white" membership clause, being challenged at the Elks convention here, is "an internal matter for determination by the membership." Francis M.

Smith of Sioux Falls, S.D., made the statement in an interview following his address to the convention as he took over Monday as grand exalted ruler of the Elks. Smith told the convention delegates that the all-white organization asks "only the right to exist as a private organization under our own legitimate rules and to serve in accordance with the dictates of our own conscience." He said the Elks has become an American institution by following its own direction. "It has become a force in the protection of the American way of life," he said. "To that militant minority which seeks only to destroy, we say, 'Not one area of concession, not one inch of retreat'." In the later interview Smith explained that to delete the all-white membership clause from the Elks constitution would take a two-thirds vote of the the KREE Way Ha warding caretr in permanent hair removal.

The Protestant Ulster Defense Association, which claims it can put 40,000 armed men into the field, said if the British do not crush the Roman Catholic guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army, the association will take the offensive against the IRA and do its "level best to eliminate and destroy it" The British government rushed 1,800 more troops into the province in preparation for the traditionally explosive summer season of Protestant parades celebrating historic events in the centuries of Protestant-Catholic warfare in Northern Ireland.

She said Congress "should be more representative of young people." And she admitted to being 44, saying, "that's no spring chicken but its young enough to be able to expect to attain some seniority in congress if I'm elected." Maraziti is 60. She said she was not running on her husband's coattails. "I'm running on my own, but I don't want him to pull a Martha Mitchell on me." The Democratic nomination became available when Joseph O'Dougherty of Chester Township, who won the June 6 primary, discovered he had been an American citizen only five of the seven years required by the Constitution. He was born in Ireland. Mrs.

Meyner was selected to fill the vacancy by the Democratic State Committee. Her husband was governor from 1954 to 1962. They were married in January, 1957, the year he ran for his second term. The Priced From Jl.T. iJi 1J7.J M'Tti'lMiv'llU P1G The Energy People Fence torn down MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) A group of 500 demonstrators splintered from a Poor People's rally outside the Democratic National Convention on the opening night of the convention and tore down a section of chain-link fence around the Convention Hall. They backed away quickly when 200 policemen formed a double line in the 60-foot-wide breach.

73 i North of Route 22 MID-YEAR ALL 11 to IP PHILLIPSBURG, N.J. (AP) Helen Stevenson Meyner, wife of former two-term Democratic Gov. Robert B. Meyner and cousin of the late Adlai E. Stevenson, has made it official; she will run for Congress.

Mrs. Meyner announced her candidacy Monday to run against Republican State Sen. Joseph J. Maraziti of Morris County in the newly-aligned 13th district he designed specifically to enhance his chances of winning a congressional seat. The alignment of that district, Mrs.

Meyner said, would be an issue in her campaign. She said one reason she decided to run was "indignation over the gerrymandering process and the political ambitions of one man." She said the district "was carved out for strictly political reasons. It's unfair and confusing to the voters." The district includes Hunterdon, Warren, and Sussex Counties, and parts of Morris and Mercer Counties. It stretches from suburban North Jersey across the top of the state and down the Delaware River to just north of Trenton. The district does not include the Meyner's present residence in Princeton.

But Meyner has maintained a home in Phillipsburg since he left that Warren County city in 1954 to assume the governorship. Mrs. Meyner said she and her husband still vote in Phillipsburg. The home where she held her news conference is owned by her husband, she said, and his cousin Lester Shay, lives there. The newly-aligned congressional district was actually created by a federal court when the legislature deadlocked this spring over redisricting.

But the configuration of the district was Maraziti's idea and was contained in every plan before the legislature. Princeton has been in the district for the past four years but was included this year in the newly-aligned Fifth District. Mrs. Meyner conceded she faced an "uphill fight in what is basically a Republican area. But I hope the people will listen to what I have to say." She said she had not yet developed a program but said she would announce one some time before she begins her campaign Sept.

The action comes less than a week after Cahill was criticized by the National Organization of Women for not appointing enough women to key posts in his administration. Cahill filed his formal notice that he intended to nominate Sonia Morgan of Livingston to the Essex County Court. She would fill a vacancy created by the governor's elevation of Judge Van Y. Clinton of Orange, a black man, from the county bench to Superior Court. Cahill also announced he would nominate Passaic County Court Judge Irving I.

Pay base raised TRENTON (AP) New Jersey Governor Cahill signed into law yesterday a bill increasing the state's minimum wage from $1.50 to $1.75 per hour. The new law takes effect Oct. 8.

-The increase is the first in New Jersey since 1969, when the minimum wage went from $1.40 to $1.50 an hour. The new minimum wage put New Jersey ahead of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Connecticut, where the minimum is $1.60. The minimum in New York is $1.85. The federal niinimum is $1.60. Musto sentenced NEWARK (AP) Patrick Musto, former president of the Union City Board of Education and father of state Sen.

William Musto, D-Hudson, has been sentenced to a two-and-a-half year federal prison term and fined $20,000 for his part in an extortion-conspiracy scheme. The fine and sentence were handed down to Musto yesterday in federal court here by U. S. Dist. Court Judge Leonard I.

Garth. Musto, 78, was found guilty in May of accepting "dues" from businessmen and firms doing work for the Board of Education. In rejecting a plea for leniency, Garth noted that Musto could have received up to 180 years in jail and a $90,000 fine on his conviction.
