BALTIMORE tf) Two armed men commandeered a busload of racetrack fans Monday and forced the driver to circle the city while they robbed the passengers.

The two men, one armed with a shotgun, fled with $3,413 an hour later at the Baltimore Beltway interchange with Route 95 in Halethorpe, a small suburban community 10 miles south of here, police said. THOMAS M. MANNING, manager of the Balti-more Motor Coach said the bus carried 46 passengers and was en route to Delaware Park Race Course at Stanton, Del. Manning said the gunmen, who had boarded the bus at the downtown Baltimore Civic Center at about 11 a.m., pulled guns on the driver as the bus neared the Baltimore Beltway on Pulaski Highway, north of the city. He said the driver was forced to enter the Belt way and drive completely around the city while the gunmen went from passenger to passenger, taking valuables.

FORTY-THREE of the 46 passengers told police they had been robbed. None was harmed. George Dotson, the driver, said the bandits ordered him to stop the bus at the interchange and that both fled on foot over an embankment and across the busy highway. No getaway car was seen. Three passengers who were not robbed said they merely told the gunmen they had no money.

MANNING SAID one passenger scribbled a note calling for help and dropped it from the moving bus as the robbery was in progress, but It was lost In the stream of 65-mile-per-hour traffic. The company executive said eight of the buses leave the Baltimore area daily for the Delaware race track between 10:30 a.m. and noon. Si--. Mi CCirs Agir mi CeSSOlfoln) It mm.

The spokesmen said a special task force of about 1,000 elite troops recaptured Mai Linh, a southern suburb half a mile from the city's residential center. It reported encountering no organized North Vietnamese resistance. TO THE SOUTH, North Vietnamese gunners, in an appar ent attempt to divert 20,000 government troops from their drive to recapture Quang Tri, continued their artillery barrage against Hue, the ancient capital 400 miles north of Saigon.

At least 101 shells have hit Hue during the two-day barrage. Most were directed at the Citadel, which serves as the military command post for the northern region. Twelve persons were reported killed in Sunday's attack, the first shelling of the city since the enemy offensive began March 30. Army engineers completed work Monday on a pontoon bridge across the last river that had been without a span between the former My Chanh defense line and the City of Quang Tri. Most of the bridges in the area had been destroyed by allied air strikes after the province fell but were quickly rebuilt to support the government counteroffensive.

Paratroopers and supporting armored personnel carriers (APCs) north of the river encountered sporadic enemy artillery fire but resistance was considered light. Just before the bridge was completed three APCs attempted to cross the river, but one stalled and sank in midstream, it was reported. Seven soldiers loaded with combat gear drowned.
