North Vietnamese engineers are trying to build a major new infiltration route from Laos into South Vietnam, but military sources say heavy U.S. air raids appear to have stalled the project.

The road, running east from the frontier just north of Khe Sanh, apparently was begun after U.S. and South Vietnamese forces pulled out of the area in March at the end of the 45-day Laotian invasion.

Revson Is No. 2 Peter Revson, a teammate of Donohue, ranks second at 176.1, Mike Mosley is third at 175.8 and Bobby Unser, another former 500 winner, is next at 175.

A. J. Foyt, shooting to become the only four-time winner of the race, and Mario Andretti, another former winner, are over 174. But Donohue, who finished second in the race a year ago and was seventh in his rookie race in '69, has been running away from everybody. Donohue's mastery of the track a combination of a beautifully designed car, new tires, a powerful four cylinder turbocharged engine, a fast track and a wealth of personal driving skill has been the No.

The biggest previous jump on a one-lap record was the late Jimmy Clark, who drove his Lotus-Ford 7lA mph faster in '64 than Parnelli Jones' record, set the year before. Par-nelli's record, set in the Agajanian Special, was 151.847 and Clark's 159.377. Qualifying for the pole position has been altered this year.

If a driver indicates tonight he is ready to qualify, he will be given the opportunity despite bad weather or track conditions. If a driver in the lineup doesn't get a chance tomorrow to qualify for the pole position, he will get it Sunday, or the next weekend if unfavorable conditions continue. In previous years, the driver with the highest speed the first day won the pole.

Brig. Gen. James Wat-kins, the top U.S. air force adviser in Vietnam, said today the training and expansion of the South Vietnamese air force won't be completed until mid-1973, an indication American air forces will remain in Vietnam at least two more years. WE'VE GOT THE AIRPLANES.

Watkins outlined plans for the development of the Vietnamese air force in an interview at Saigon's Tan Son Nhut air base during the turnover of the first 16-plane C123 transport squadron. It gave the South Vietnamese their 36th air squadron. "The Air Force vietnamiza-tion program will be completed in mid-1973 with 50 squadrons," the general said. "Three more squadrons will be turned over between now and September. It's simply a matter of the pace with which we can train people to take over." A spokesman for Watkins, elaborating later on the general's remarks, said: "We've got the airplanes to create new squadrons tomorrow.

But you still need the experience to keep running on the right path. It takes nearly two years to train pilots and we are training 200 to 300 pilots each year." The South Vietnamese Air Force now has about 40,000 airmen and officers and 850 aircraft of all types including fighter-bombers, transports and helicopters. Plans call for a force of 50,000 men and 1,200 aircraft. The South Vietnamese are now flying more bomber strike i i in South Vietnam seen the construction called it "an autobahn." Officials said they are uncertain whether it is just a supply road or is intended to move heavy artillery to within range of allied base camps. Since it was first spotted from the air in early April, U.S.

planes have hammered it with saturation air attacks that included 40 B52 strikes in 33 days plus numerous fighter-bomber attacks. the B52s dropped more than 3,500 tons of bombs on the area through which the road passes, some 15 to 16 miles northwest of Khe Sanh. U.S. sources said the concentrated bombing has halted all apparent activity by the North Vietnamese engineers. Several trucks also have been knocked out.

At the time construction ceased, the road had reached some six miles into South Vietnam, but its total length through winding ravines and river valleys is estimated at about 14 miles. TO LINK WITH TANK TRAIL One theory advanced by officials is that the North Vietnamese planned to link the road with a tank trail which the Americans cut through the jungle between Khe Sanh and the natural formation called the Rockpile, 12 miles to the northeast, during the Laotian operation. Officials say this would give the enemy a new way to move men and supplies toward the coast or to move their big 122mm and 130mm artillery into range of Camp Carroll and other South Vietnamese and U.S. installations ta the east.
