Marine helicopters flying from offshore carriers landed hundreds of South Vietnamese marines north of Quang Tri City today, putting government forces on three sides of the enemy-held provincial capital. First reports said there was no major contact. The Marines were landed 2'4 miles north-northwest of the city, on the eastern side of the Thach Han River opposite the Quang Tri combat base.

"They are in well-prepared bunkers," he said. "They've been there for two months and they've used their time judiciously." "You can put 105 and even 155 artillery on those bunkers and you'll only give them a headache." Dickenson said he had seen 500-pound bombs dropped within 20 yards of the North Viet- entrenched North Vietnamese forces managed to stall the South Vietnamese drive to recapture the city lost 10 weeks ago.

The Saigon command reported that 104 North Vietnamese troops were killed and eight tanks destroyed, six of them in namese bunkers and they failed to hurt anyone inside. "It's fighting in cities," he said.

"It's dirty. It's rough, and it's different from anything we've had since the Tet offensive in 1968. It's no longer the quiet little rice-paddy war." Dickenson's unit moved to within 600 yards of the Citadel to probe North Vietnamese strength and defenses, then pulled back Sunday. He said Quang Tri City is in bad shape but not completely smashed to He said he did not see any civilians, that they had left because "they know that where the North Vietnamese are is where the bombs are going to fall." Dickenson said he had been calling in U.S. air strikes on North Vietnamese positions inside the Citadel.

There were secondary explosions every few minutes, he said, indicating hits on ammunition and fuel stores. Much of the ammunition was believed to be South Vietnamese, left behind during the Mav one battle, by U.S. naval gunfire and South Vietnamese artillery support. Government losses were six men killed and 13 wounded, the Saigon command said. "The North Vietnamese are in there to stay." said Dickenson, 25, of Braden-ton, an adviser with the paratroopers.

"The guys who are there have been ordered to stay there."

JOHN CERAK Rank And Serial Number jtjfjf nnrrtnrvwiriJVL WASHINGTON (AP) -Texas millionaire Congressman Jim Collins was to testify today at the kickback trial of a mer aide, a day after the court was told that Collins himself authorized the kickbacks. Collins, who has not been charged, had been scheduled to testify Monday in the trial of George A.

Haag in U.S. District Court here, but his appearance was delayed. Haag, 33, former chief Washington aide to Collins, is accused of taking more than in kickbacks through falsification of House payroll forms and mail fraud. He also is charged with obstructing justice by inducing fellow employes to lie to the FBI and to a federal grand jury investigating the kickback scheme.

'( AP) Governor Preston Smith and his staff began a second day of budget analysis today, following indications from the governor that it might be "a couple of weeks" before he takes final action on the $4.1 billion appropriations bill. Smith said Saturday that he intends to search for items on which "some of the taxpayers' money is going to be spent unnecessarily." hinting they might be line vetoed from the bill before he signs it. The appropriations bill was passed Friday night as the last action of the Legislature's third special session Comptroller Robert S.

Scheer acknowledged that Haag issued the direct orders for the kickbacks, although he contended that Collins made the decision. He said Collins might not have known it was illegal. "The congressman organized the coverup.

as I call it," Scherr said in his opening argument. "He had Haag come to his office and sign a statement that he had never received (the) money from the congressman." A former Collins secretary, Mrs. Mary Sue Scott, said in testimony Monday that Collins "had a weak personality," that Haag "could con anyone" and that Haag ran the office even to the point of telling Collins how to vote on the House floor. In a deposition read to the court, she said she personally kicked back $600 from her federal paycheck to Collins to repay travel expenses in 1968. She said Collins later asked her to sign a statement that she had not done so, but she refused.

She said Collins told her and another employe. Mrs. Linda Stephenson, that he would send them to Dallas to work on his 1968 campaign and they would repay the travel expenses from inflated House paychecks he would give them for October. Mrs. Scott said her October check was for about $1,200, compared to her usual $452 a month.

She said she was supposed to give the $600 to Haag but couldn't find him, and the congressman reluctantly agreed to take the money himself. Mrs. Stephenson testified she was paid $1,425 in October, rather than her usual $340 to $350 a month, and was told by Haag to repay $581 of it in a check made out to Haag. per sq.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) A man identified as a buyer of explosives allegedly destined to be used to overthrow a foreign country has turned out to be a government agent. For five hours Monday evening. Carlos Diaz, who is really U.S. customs agent Cesano Diosdado. told how he spent more than a month setting up a purchase of high explosives which resulted in the July 1 arrest of nine men and the confiscation of a DC4 airplane loaded with high explosives.

Two men-Murray Kessler of Brooklyn, N.Y.. and Adler Sea) of Baton Rouge. bound over to a district court Monday night after a prelimi- nary hearing before U.S. Mag- lsiraie worey u. Kessler was allegedly the prime mover in efforts to obtain the munitions for Diosdado.

Seal was identified as the pilot who was to fly the explosives out of the United States to Mexico. The July 1 arrests and con-f i a i involved 13.500 pounds of plastic explosives. electrical blasting caps. 25 electrical detonators and 7,000 feet of prima-cord. Diosdado testitied Monday that Kessler and Seal had showed him a bill of laden printed in Dutch with the only English part of it being the enumeration of a quantity of explosives.

He said the paii told him that the explosives had been purchased in The Netherlands and brought into the United States by Seal through Aruba, off the coast of South America. U. S. Atty. Gerald Galling-house said Monday night after the hearing that the explosives were purchased prior to Dios-dado's appearance as a potential buyer.

"I have no recall about the particular date," Gallinghouse said, "but it was fairly recent. It was my impression that it (the explosive cargo) was here when they commenced their negotiations." Gallinghouse said it was not unusual for a federal agent to pose as a buyer for illegal items. "It's perfectly proper procedure for government agents to make buys," he said. "It's done all the time in narcotics and other things that are violations. It's how you establish, so often, violations of federal law." One item of the federal complaint said that Kessler and Seal "knew and believed that this material explosives would be used in an attempted overthrow of a foreign nation." In his testimony, however, Diosdado said that he responded.

"That's my business," when one of the alleged conspirators asked whom he represented. "Evidently," Gallinghouse said, "the representations were made. That statement about they 'knew and believed' would mean that's what they were told. It's from their viewpoint." "It was an operational plan to save lives, and anything serving this purpose was permissible," he said. The general said he and the 24-year-old Japanese signed a written contract in which Okamoto promised to give all information "honestly and in full," and Zeevi promised that when the interrogation was ended, he would give Okamoto a gun "for his own use." The agreement was witnessed by a Japanese interpreter, he said.

Zeevi said he hoped to get intelligence information from the Japanese, but Okamoto held back details he wanted. Okamoto pleaded guilty Mon Mm CARRY SALU that the overhead lights be changed. The challenger also agreed with the Russian's complaints that the squares on the chessboard were too large in relation to the size of the pieces.

The papers, printed about 13 months ago in the New York Times and other papers, revealed origins of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war. Ellsberg and Russo have admitted copying the papers and Ellsberg says he leaked them, but both claim they didn't commit crimes.

The defendants sat side by side in court flanked by lawyers. Outside the courthouse they issued vehement antiwar statements.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russian defender Boris Spassky finally begin play this afternoon in the richest and most publicized world chess championship of all time unless some new snag develops. Las t-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of Reykjavik's 2.500-seat sports hall. The playing table was shortened, the green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed.

But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, originally set to start July 2. Spassky, 35, drew the white chessmen and with them the first move. Fisher, 29, of Brooklyn. N.Y., had the black pieces. One game will be played each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, starting at 5 p.m.

1 p.m. EDT. National prestige was at stake for the defending Russian. The Soviet Union subsidizes chess and has dominated the game for decades. Fischer is the first foreigner to make it to the finals since 1948.

For Fischer, it is a question of money and personal prestige, of proving his claim that he is the best in the world. London oddsmakers rated the lanky American the favorite to win the 24-game, two-month competition and capture more than $180,000 of the estimated $300,000 at stake. The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation, or $78,125. plus another $75,000 of the $120,000 provided by London investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischer to end his holdout last week. Organizers calculate Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another $55,000 from the sale of television and film rights.

The American's lawyer, Paul Marshall, told a newsman on -the eve of play, however, that "the money's not important. Bobby wants respect on his own terms." Both players stayed in secul-sion. Spassky was reported nervous and upset. Fischer, who favors sleeping in the daytime, was last seen at 1 a.m., Monday, when he visited the sports hall. He demanded that the mahogany playing table be shortened and Grenade Wounds 11 TEL AVTV (AP) A grenade exploded in a toilet in the central bus station today, wounding 11 persons, police said.

The grenade exploded in the terminal in the heart of Tel Aviv's business district a few minutes before noon. It was the second bus station toilet explosion in Israel in two weeks.
