The sergeant stood rooted to the spot.

His weapon was 30 feet away. He figured the Communist patrol had stumbled onto times in regimental strength, Battalion Sgt. Maj.

The battalion soon found out that plenty of Viet Cong lurked in the jungle. A heavy mortar barrage hammered in at midnight. Then came a ground attack by two Communist companies.

Three Americans were wounded near 2nd Lt. Ernest Tuggle of Oklahoma City, Okla. "As I moved out to get a medic," Tuggle recalled, "my radioman called out to me that we had a real live Charlie right there in the command post." They found him hiding under a tree. "We'd been hit pretty bad and I wanted to kill him," the tall, lean lieutenant said. "But we're to stay within the rules so jl let him live." When the ground attack was repelled the enemy opened up with rockets and heavy machine guns.

The Americans hung on grim-ily and prayed that their sup- porting artillery would be right on target. It was. I "We stayed close to the ground and hugged that terra firma as best we could," Tuggle said.

For a battalion of the U.S.

25th Infantry Division rushed to the Loc Ninh sector north of Saigon late Thursday, the cries of the jungle birds were but a part of the uneasy night.

Word of the information blackout was announced by Rai-mondo Manzini, director of L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, as the Pope began a spiritual retreat of prayer and contemplation in preparation for the operation to correct an enlarged prostate condition. Manzini said he could neither confirm nor deny the operation would take place Saturday morning. "Doctors say the operation is near and could be performed from one moment to another, even tomorrow," was all he would say of the starting time. Comings and goings of doctors on the surgical team increased this morning. Explaining the blackout on advance word of the operation, Manzini told newsmen: "You must understand the Pope is not a public man.

He is the Pope. He does not want to be discussed in this way. He is against publicity." He said the only possible indication of the start of the operation might come a few minutes before with word that the doctors have gone to the operating room set up down the hall from the Pope's bedroom. Manzini said that shortly after the operation the doctors will issue a medcal bulletin but indicated there might not be any regular daily medical bulletins thereafter. canvas.

"Thousands of farmers are going to go broke this year if we do not take early action to increase their prices," he told the Senate.

Willie Begay and Clyde Socci, both Navajo Indians from New Mexico working on a potato farm in this little southeastern Idaho community, told officers the visitors got back into their space machine and it was last seen going straight up at high speed.

Police said the two men did not appear to have been drinking and there was some damage to their car where it had plunged into a roadside ditch. CHET HUNTLEY PM DAVID BRINKLEY 6:25 PM DAILY An administration proposal to establish Commodity Credit Corp. reserves on those grains plus rice was defeated 8-6 Wednesday by the House feed grains subcommittee. Rep. Robert Dole, a leading opponent, claimed the proposal would have permitted the government to use its reserves to manipulate and regulate prices.

McGovern said the only authority over reserves the government would have under his bill would be to terminate storage contracts in hopes farmers would decide to sell part of their 1 reserves. cise in all that you do. Get T. 1 1 8 dllty' ahead AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 to Feb.
