No new launch date was set Immediately. Essa 2 is designed to relay instant weather pictures to local stations in more than 20 countries. It will complete a two-satellite operational weather reporting network.

SAIGON (AP) A Viet Cong battalion slashed across a minefield early today and attacked elements of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division in one of the heaviest Communist assaults against the GIs.

The Americans beat off the attackers with a barrage of mortar and artillery fire, killing at least 89 and wounding 11, according to reports from the scene. U.

The Marines spotted only six fleeing and presumed the rest were either killed or wounded.
