S. pilots reported they knocked out two more railroad bridges in North Vietnam within 25 miles of the Chinese border Monday, a few hours before Peking broadcast a strong protest against American air attacks along China's southern frontier. Military spokesmen said 2.000 -pound laser bombs brought down the Bombs Don't Halt Hanoi's War Plans By MICHAEL PUTZEL SAIGON (AP) Hanoi watchers in Saigon believe the central committee of North Vietnam's Communist Party has resolved to continue the offensive in South Vietnam despite the intense U.

S. bombing and the mining of northern harbors. Their conclusion is based on a series of articles published this month in Nhan Dan, the official party newspaper, and a communique issued over the weekend by the North Vietnamese Council of Ministers. Analysis in Saigon say the communique and the newspaper articles reveal policy decisions that could only be made with the concurrence of the central committee. "The decision was to go all the way," said one experienced observer.

According to his view, the 69 member committee met at the end of May after the U. S. response to the offensive was clear and new policies were revealed early this month in a 5,000 word, three part series of articles in Nhan Dan signed by Hong Ha. The name was unfamiliar to intelligence analysts and is believed to be a pseudonym for a writer expressing the party's official view. "The North has entered the war," Hong Ha wrote.

"We accept the Nixon clique's challenge. For final victory, we are mobilizing all our forces. Peace will only return to the North when the South has triumphed. From now until that time, the daily life of the entire North, including all tiny pieces of land, will be put on a war footing." The articles admit the bombin" campaign may be devastating that some. industrial plants may not be rebuilt until after the war, but they call for an immediate and determined effort to support the front.

"Our people can walk, can use torchlight, can eat watered rice gruel and still defeat the U. S. aggressors," Hong Ha declared. times in Cuyahoga County by six hours and ordered the election held over again a week later in 34 precincts. Discussing his decision to fire the board members, Brown said he sent representatives of his office to the Cuyahoga County board meeting last Thursday to get the county's official Jetliner Guided to Safety two bridges on the northeast rail line to China and that they had not been hit before.

They were 55 and 60 miles northeast of Hanoi. U. S. planes have -bombed North Vietnam's two railroads to China repeatedly in the past week at points 20 to 30 miles from the border. The Chinese Foreign Ministry in a statement broadcast Monday night said the air raids threatened the security of China and were "grave provocatio'ns against the Chinese people." The U.

S. -Command said American pilots flew more than 290 strikes against targets in North Vietnam on Monday. B52 bombers battered North Vietnamese supply dumps north of the demilitarized zone today for the sixth successive jjay. North Vietnam claimed its gunners shot down a U. S.

Phantom jet fighter bomber northeast of Hanoi on Monday. The U. S. Command said it had no plane losses to report, but it disclosed the loss of the third 0116 observation helicopter in two days 13 miles southwest of Hue. One crewman was reported missing and one wounded in the crash Monday.

The South Vietnamese command said 51 North Vietnamese were killed and 105 weapons and 15 field radios were captured in a series of clashes Monday at An Loc and south of the city along Highway 13. Nine South Vietnamese were reported killed and 24 wounded. Field reports indicate the South Vietnamese are beginning to break through the 68 day old siege at An Loc, a provincial capital 60 miles north of Saigon. But U. S.

advisers say the siege cannot be considered lifted until Highway 13 is open. It is the only overland route to the city. Youlh Jailed on Narcotics Charge GALION Police Chief John Swain said today that Michael Sutter, 19, of Galion, RD 4, has been jailed for possession of narcotics, specifically marijuana. Policemen obtained an affidavit yesterday for the charges. Chief Swain said the possession was discovered after Sutter was arrested on June 11 for reckless operation of his car.

On May 11, 1971, Sutter was found guilty on a charge of possession of marijuana in Crawford County Eastern District Court, Galion. The first charge was a misdemeanor, but Chief Swain indicated the second charge will be a felony. Sutter is to be arraigned in the Eastern District Court, but no date has been set. Mayor Donald Barnett said he believes many bodies were washed downstream and never will be recovered. Farmers in outlying areas were asked to search their properties for bodies.

Barnett imposed a 9 p.m. to daylight curfew for the third day. Officials said at least 400 persons were on the missing list, but Barnett added the list was shrinking "as the living find the missing and both of them report to us." COLUMBUS (AP) Secretary of State Ted Brown's dismissal of four Cuyahoga County Election board members was stayed by the Ohio Supreme Court Monday after the officials appealed their firings. The high court granted writs sought by the officials, who contended the dismissals were unconstitutional and denied them due process of law, and set a hearing on the matter for June 19. Brown advised Republican board members Robert Hughes and Saul Stillman and Democrats Anthony Gar-ofoli and John Carney of their dismissals last week by telegram.

Brown said Monday he planned to write the four explaining they were being fired for refusing to cooperate in certifying to him the official counl' canvas of the May 2 primary, but the court order halted that action. Brown said he also. was disturbed because the board ignored his suggestion it seek an attorney well versed in elections procedures to replace board director Joseph Cipollone, who quit after major foulups occurred during primary voting in Cuyahoga County. Carney, chairman of the Cuyahoga County board, announced Monday that Cleveland city councilman Virgil Brown will be appointed to the post Thursday. However, a roadblock to the appointment appeared Monday night when Brown, a Republican, decided against resigning from council as planned after Democrats refused to permit him to name his son as successor.

Brown said he would not accept the $23,000 a year election board post unless his son, Virgil E. Brown was named to the council. Brown must resign from council before the election board may appoint him director because state law prohibits him from serving in both offices. After the Supreme Court stayed the firings, Stillman said in Cleveland the board plans to continue "to discharge its duties as exactly as we have been doing with a little bit of uncertainty, of course." Election day problems in Cuyahoga County included voting machines that hadn't arrived at polling places when they opened, and voting machines that were locked and unable to be opened when voting hours began. Some precincts never opened on election day.

I had a pile of refuse including an old hot water tank at the curb and the workers said they would have to return later with a crane to pick up the tank (which my husband and I carried from the basement outside ourselves). They have never returned, even after I called them four times.

In the meantime, they brought their crane on Highland, the next street over. The tank is an eyesore, and is killing our grass. Can Hot Line help?

Mail Order Taxes When ordering merchandise bv mail, must I include city or state tax?" A.R., Randy Ave.

A If the business has been issued a permit to collect tax in Ohio, you will have to pay it, but it is generally added automatically for you. This is the case with orders placed with department store catalog services. However, if the object is shipped directly out of state, it is interstate commerce which is by law, tax exempt. If you buy an item from a local dealer and have him ship it directly out of -state for you, you won't pay state tax, either. State Fire Marshal How can a person contact the state fire marshal?

A normal landing, airport officials said, takes one-third the distance. The explosive force of the decompression would have been greater at higher altitudes, but it ripped off the four-by six-foot left rear cargo door. A coffin in the rear baggage compartment fell through the hole and then 12,000 feet to the ground.

It was found this morning in a field near an old road four miles east of the Windsor city limits. Airline officials in New York definitely ruled out the possibility the coffin might have shifted and broken through the skin of the plane. The plane was American's flight 96, en route from Los Angeles to New York's La Guardia Airport with a brief stop at Detroit and another scheduled at Buffalo, N. Y.

Officer Injured Trying to Catch Assault Suspect A Mansfield policeman was injured early today as he fought a suspected rapist an entire block before the patrolman collapsed and the suspect escaped.

Patrolman Robert A. Lemon, 24, was released from Mansfield General Hospital's emergency room this morning after treatment for a cut on the forehead. Lemon chased and fought the 24 -year old Marion man for nearly a block from in front of 208 North Main St. at 12:54 a.m. A woman with most of her clothes torn off stopped Lemon and his partner Ptl.

Police are checking to see if the man, who the woman knew, is wanted by Marion Police. The suspect suffered two large cuts on his head from the battle with the patrolman. Sheriff Accused In Inmate Slaying TAVARES, Fla.

(AP) The sheriff of Lake County has been accused in the slaying of a black prisoner who a grand jury said had been kicked, beaten and forced into a small, windowless cell where he spent six days. A grand jury in neighboring Orange County, following its probe of the April 23 death of Tommy J. Vickers of Miami, indicted Sheriff Willis McCall on charges of second degree murder, aggravated assault and aggravated battery. McCall. 62, was arrested Monday by Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers and was booked at his own jail.

He was released on $1,000 bond. Bv R. RICHARD CICCOXE RAPID CITY, S. D. (AP) Burial of Rapid City's flood vjctims begins today in three cemeteries while survivors continue the search for the dead.

Individual graveside services will be conducted for the identified victims who died late Friday and early Saturday when rain-swollen Rapid Creek erupted through this city of 43,000 persons in the shadow of the Black Hills. "The services will probably go for at least a week," said a funeral director. A mass memorial service is scheduled Sunday at a local high school. Civil Defense reported Sunday that the death toll stood at more than 200, but on Monday it said the toll was 175. However, newsmen counted 161 identified bodies and 31 unidentified, a total of 192.

The toll was expected to climb. A spokesman said duplication of reports and confusion caused erroneous reports. Officials said some bodies were moved to nearby communities Sunday when three Rapid City mortuaries used as temporary morgues became overcrowded. The Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald reported in today's editions that two cloud seeding experiments were conducted Friday in the Rapid City area, one of them about 5 p.m., an hour before the devastating rains began. The experiments were conducted by the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences, South Dakota School of Mines Technology "for increasing water supply and studying the dynamics of hail production," the copyright article quotes' an unnamed federal official as saying.

The newspaper quoted Prof. Arnett Dennis, chief of the institute's meteorological analysis group, as saying the experiments "had totally and absolutely nothing to do with the storm that hit Rapid City.
