Today, in their first operation in Viet Nam, they made an amphibious and helicopter assault 35 miles southeast of Saigon and won the distinction of becoming the first American troops to op-perate in the Saigon River delta. The 5th regiment has a colorful history. It is the most deco- Five Alpinists Toast Victory Over Mt. Eiger KLEINE SCHEIDEGG, Switzerland (UPI Five tired and bruised mountain climbers returned to a heroes' welcome today for their feat in scaling the murderous Eiger North Wall straight up for the first time.

Although frostbitten and nearly exhausted from their ordeal, they toasted their victory over the mountain by drinking beer. A small crowd cheered the men as they arrived in this Alpine town on the mountain railway which brought them down the flank of the Eiger. A doctor was called to treat their frostbite, but otherwise the bearded climbers appeared in good condition. Scotsman Dougal Hasten and his German rope-mates-Joerg Lehne, Guenther Strobel, Roland Votteler and Siegfried Hupfauer became the first climbers to conquer the North Wall on a straight-up route when they reached the Eiger summit Friday evening. The feat took a month and three days to accomplish and claimed the life of John Harlin of Los Altos, who fell 4,000 feet Tuesday and was buried at the resort of Leysin Friday.

He was born in Oshkosh on Jan. 22, 1930, son of Henry and Clara Gabrilska, and was married to Beverly Case on Sept. 12, 1953. Surviving ore his wife, Beverly; three daughters, Susan, Lisa and Gay, and four sons, Mark, Lucas, Matthew and Dan, all at home; three brothers, Rae Gabrilska, Oshkosh, Irving Gabrilska, Rt. 2, Kaukauna, and Don Gabrilska, Rt.

Its members fought at Guadalcanal in World War II, and in Korea during the early 1950S. Numbering about 1,200 men, the 1st Battalion was put to- gether in Camp Pendleton, then sailed for training in Hawaii.

The battalion is commanded by Lt. Col. H.L. Coffa- man, of Huntingdon, Pa. Coffaman said his men "are keyed up and ready for any- thing." "This." he added, "is the first.

time in the history of the Marine Corps a battalion landing team has been put together, trained for a job and sent out to do it." 4 The Saigon River delta is on the western side of strategic Route 15, a key highway leading to the important seaport of Vung Tau. The Highway connects Vung Tau, Bien Hoa and Sal- gon. Over the last six months, the road has been cut off by the Viet Cong, and only heavily guarded road traffic could trav- el it. Thus, the Marine operation, if successful, will help clear the highway. The marines also will try to clear out guerrillas who have been attacking cargo ships on the Long Tao and Saigon rivers.

The U.S. troops hit a beach 7 miles long and one mile deep on a peninsula at the mouth of the Saigon River. A huge armada of American ships converged toward the peninsula for the operation dubbed "Operation Jack Stay." The ships included the aircraft carriers Princeton and Hancock and the guided missile destroyer Robinson. Seek Motive For Murder Of Art Critic CHICAGO (AP) Authorities searched for a motive today in the fatal shooting of a University of Chicago art critic and teacher whose body was dumped from a car early Friday. Police also sought the blue and white automobile which Paul Bell 36, Negro scholar, was driving when he took a baybsitter home late Thursday night.

Moses' body, with a bullet in the back of the head, was found on a Northwest Side street. Hours earlier, he and Mrs. Moses had attended a dinner. When they returned to their South Side home, Moses drove their babysitter home. He never returned.

Police discounted robbery as a motive, as $28 was in his trouser pocket. The babysitter, Maxine Por-tis, 16, a high school junior, said Moses dropped her at her home and waited until she was safely inside. Then he drove away. Shortly after 2 a.m. Friday two youths en route home saw Moses' body lying four feet from a curb.

Police theorized that Moses was shot in his auto, then dumped onto the street. He was shot with a 22-caliber weapon, police said, from behind. At least one automobile is owned by 72 per cent of U. S. families.

They saw it too. I think there's something going on the people don't know about. I'm scared. I want to pack up and move." Said her husband: "There's nothing wrong with my eyes, and my son (Robert, 19) has 20-20 vision. We both can't be wrong." Dexter Police Chief Robert Taylor, who says he also saw the object, said, "I have no idea what it was, but I don't think it was swamp gas." BEGONIAS Objects of Seven in Gar Crash Continued 39 captured and 21 weapons seized.

U.S. offiters insisted they had enough evidence to support a belief that a Viet Cong regiment was smashed, two other battalions were hurt badly and up-, wards of 800 of the enemy were killed or wounded and carried away in the four-day fight. An American advisory officer from Quang Due Province in the north came to Saigon to tell newsmen how heroic Vietnamese and Montagnard tribesmen were in the second defense of the Bu Prang.outpost. Outlines Attack Maj. Stephen W.

Bachinski of Dixon City, outlined the attack on Bu Prang March 24 by three Viet Cong- battalions with only 86 Vietnamese defenders who were able to hold the assault off, call in air and artillery and never back up. "I saw 97 Viet Cong with my own eyeballs stretched out on the wire in front of the outpost," Bachinski said. "We have evidence that they killed 212 altogether and captured 22 weapons and three prisoners." Helicopters were searching Bu Prang Saturday for more information on the fight, now seemingly ended. "Most of them were not Viet Cong, they were North Vietnamese," the major said. "In December Bu Prang was hit and there were only 61 men defending it.

They succeeded then and killed 125 Viet Cong. In the two fights for Bu Prang the ratio was 30 enemy killed to one friendly. It shows how bravely they stood and fought and are ready to fight." In the December battle, Bachinski said, the defenders lost seven killed and 14 wounded. The 86 man garrison which fought it out this week against heavy odds took moderate casualties.

Two planes were lost in the south. A Marine F4B never came out of its dive bomb run Friday about 20 miles southwest of Quang Ngai and two crew-men were killed. An F8 Crusader went straight in on an attack 40 miles southeast of Da Nang, under heavy ground fire at the time. The pilot was listed as killed in action. Broken Pair Of Spectacles Ends Search RUSSELLVILLE, Ky.

(AP) -The chance discovery of a broken pair of bifocals near an abandoned rural church has led to the 1 solution of the three-months old mystery of the disappearance of a banker and his daughter. The glasses, found by a man on an afternoon walk last Sunday, became the first tangible clue in the search for Edgar C. Harper, 81, and his daughter, Eustice Givens, 49. The search was renewed Friday after the bifocals were identified as those worn by Mrs. Givens, who disappeared with her father Dec.

11 from his home at Lewisburg, a town of 500 residents near the Tennessee border in southwest Kentucky. Discovers Bodies Shortly after a search party began combing the area where the spectacles were found, Vane Brown, a farmer from Quality, discovered the bodies. "Mr. Givens and me was walking about 10 feet apart when I een a leg sticking out from under some boards," Brown said. "I yelled for the sheriff and then Mr.

Givens come over and seen his wife." Logan County Sheriff Gene Sweatt, a member of the-search party, said he walked over and saw the bodies' cpvered with brush and boards in a wooded area near an old cemetery. An autopsy is scheduled today at the University of Kentucky Medical center. State Police detective G.C. Mc-Millen said a search of the area after the bodies were found revealed no new clues. Case Baffles Police The disappearance of Harper and Mrs.

Givens baffled police and shocked the community. Mrs. Givens had been staying with her father regularly. Harper, president of the Lewisburg Banking Co. and owner of several oil wells, had been under treatment for heart and blood ailments.

Givens said he arrived at Harper's home on the morning of Dec. 12 and found both missing. There were no signs of a struggle. Harper's wallet, was discovered along a road near Russell-ville Jan. 3, but a searching party of 200 faied to find any irace of the bodlei.

Astronauts Tell Space Story Today MANNED SPACE CENTER, Houston, Tex. (AP) Rested and ready, the Gemini 8 astronauts tell the public today the dramatic story of a tumbling ride through space, one in which they met and conquered danger. Neil A.

Armstrong and Air Force Maj. David R. Scott planned to discuss at a news conference history's first linkup in space between two vehicles, and the wild events that followed. The two spacemen scheduled the conference after a week of detailed discussions of their first orbital flight with engineers and fellow astronauts at the Manned Spacecraft Center. They completed debriefings Fri- day.

Armstrong, a civilian, and Scott had a narrow escape March 16 when a small maneuvering rocket on their craft went wild, sending Gemini 8 into crazy gyrations. Pinned to Short Circuit Officials later pinned the problem to a short circuit in the spacecraft rocket' system, apparently in the wiring. The harrowing events came about 30 minutes after Gemini 8 had docked with an orbiting Agena rocket, a primary goal of the three- day flight. The spacecraft and Agena, rigidly locked nose-to-nose, suddenly began spinning and tumbling. Armstrong, command pilot, describing the hair-raising events to alarmed controllers on earth said: "We got serious problems here.

tumbling end over end and we've disengaged from the Agena. a roll and we can't seem to turn anything off." Finally, Armstrong resorted to his re-entry rocket system to stabilize the spacecraft after undocking. Controllers, bound by a rule in the space program that a flight must be terminated once the re-entry control rocket fuel is tapped, then ordered them back to earth. Less than 11 hours into the flight, the crew accurately plummeted into the Western Pacific in the United States'" first emergency landing from space. Rescuers plucked them from the water and the USS Mason, a destroyer, steamed them to Okinawa.

Came Out Unharmed Armstrong and Scott emerged from the ordeal unharmed, except for a little seasickness encountered while waiting for the pickup. Scott did not get a chance to take his 2V4-hour space walk, designed to test man's ability to maneuver and work outside a spacecraft. It was to have been on the morning of the second day. The two astronauts also had hoped to have an opportunity to practice redocking with the Age-: na several times and conduct ment. Both parents were treated and released from a Red Wing hospital.

Martin Luther King Jr. said Friday night. Calling for court suits to force doctors and hospitals to comply with the Civil Rights Act, King and officers of the Medical Committee for Human Rights accused the American Medical Association of a "conspiracy of inaction" in civil rights. At a press conference before his speech to the committee's annual meeting, King, said: "We are concerned about the constant use of federal funds to support this most notorious expression of segregation. Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.

"I see no alternative to direct action and creative nonviolence to raise the conscience of the nation." Dr. John L. S. Holloman, a New York City physician who heads the interracial committee, told reporters: "There is scarcely a hospital North or South that does not overtly or covertly discriminate against Negroes. County medical societies, especially in the South, have discriminated in admitting qualified Negro doctors." he said.

We put the blame right on their (the AMA's) doorstep."

the books which bans outright the sale of oleo which has been colored yellow and not everyone is in favor of it. Yellow oleo, rural legislators contend, bears an unseemlv resemblance to butter, Plain white oleo can be sold but it is taxed at the rate of 15 cents per pound. Yellow oleo is out. This does not mean that yellow oleo is non-existent in Wisconsin. Hundreds of residents make regular sorties to the Illinois state line to fill their car trunks with colored oleo.

Signs proclaiming "Yellow Oleo" line the roadsides close to the border, tempting Wisconsites to make their purchases at gas stations, lunch rooms or grocery stores. Mrs. R. V. Anderson of East Troy, for one, found no fault with the government's decision.

She heads a Wisconsin Federation of Women's Club Committee which has been trying to get the oleo law repealed. "The government was just exercising its freedom of choice," she "That's all we ask for Wisconsin residents, too." Donald McDowell, director of the State Department of Agriculture, said "the Wisconsin dairy industry is bigger than this. The ruling is not going to ruin the, dairy industry of Wisconsin but it is the loss of another butter market for the Wisconsin dairymen." McDowell explained that the order would hit hardest the plants manufacturing only butter because the price for butter is not as high as cheese. "The butter price is pegged at such a low rate that there is a loss," McDowell added, "which means those plants would have to go out of business in time." Amount Not Estimated There is no estimate as to the amount of butter used by the armed forces, The state has about 140 to 145 licensed butter plants out of a total of 1,050 dairy plants. Vernon Struck of the Wisconsin Council of Agriculure viewed the order as "just anoth-.

er action by the government to deal a blow to the dairy industry. All this ties into the crazy price relationships that have been established." "Political was the label put on the order by Allen Wuethrich, who operates a creamery at Greenwood. "It's the old story, make the dairy farmer the whipping boy for the cost of living rise. But the government itself, by delaying its price support announcement, actually caused the butter price to go up." Lyman McKee, president of the Madison Milk Producers Association, and a dairyman on a large said he thought the Defense Department's order might force down butter prices a little more by moving more butter onto the market for the general public. "I would presume this a part of the over-all desire by the administration to keep the cost of living down," he added.

Called "Grave Blow" Another dairyman, Robert Bird of Brownsville, who heads the Wisconsin chapter of the American Dairymen's Association, called it "a grave blow" at the dairy farmer's economy.

He said both the sightings he did investigate were in swampy areas "most unlikely place for a visit from outer space" and added the UFOs probably had resulted from spring thaws releasing trapped gases resulting from decomposing organic materials. He added that in the Hillsdale case the sighting might have been assisted by youths playing pranks with flares. The remains of several flares were found near the college shortly after the 6ightings.

"There were no flares involved in this," said William Van Horn, Hillsdale County Civil Defense director. He and the Hillsdale College co-eds reported watching white and red object about 20 feet across from dormitory wings for nearly three hours. "I think I will disprove him (Hynek) in a few weeks," Van Horn said. "I also didn't care for the methods of investigation. I know no flares were involved." Milton M.
