SAIGON (UPI) U.S. Navy jets smashed a North Vietnamese surface-to-air missile site Sunday, 52 miles northeast of Hanoi, dropping 8y 2 tons of bombs on the target with "almost flawless precision." A U.S. spokesman said the launch site was left in flames, with missiles exploding inthefirest.

The U.S. military spokesman said four Skyhawks and one Intruder jet streaked in from the 7th fleet carrier Independence to blast the operating missile site with 500 and bombs. The attack was the third on missile site in North Viet Nam announced by U.S. military authorities since July 29. It was disclosed after a military spokesman reported the loss of six allied aircraft in Viet Nam, at least three of them apparently shot down by Communist gunfire.

According to the U.S. spokesman, the strike against the missile site was led by a Navy AGA Intruder which dropped its bomb load of destruction first. The four A4 Skyhawks followed close behind. The planes zoomed in on the target, which included the "missile installation, with all of its portable equipment in i in accidents Two people suffered minor personal injuries during two separate auto accidents Saturday. David P.

Ferski, sustained lacerations of the mouth and chin when his car crashed into the rear of another vehicle operated by Larry G. Chapel, 20, 1905 W. Judson Rd. The mishap occurred at the intersection of U.S. 31 Bypass and Water Works Road at Saturday.

Ferski was cited for reckless driving. Total property damage was estimated at $1,200. Following a two-car accident at 8 p.m. Saturday night, Phillip J. Corwin, 17, 3609 Canyon was taken to Howard Community Hospital with a possible broken leg.

According to authorities, Corwin was backing his car from a driveway when it was struck by another vehicle operated by Otis D. Donald, 42, 1820 S. Market St. Sheriff's officials stated that Corwin will be charged with failure to yield the right of way and failure to display proper lighting on his automobile. laying waste to the launching site one of a number reported around Hanoi and the port city of Haiphong.

"The five planes attacked the target with almost flawless pre- cis ion," the spokesman said, "and moments later they retired from the area leaving behind them the blazing, heavily damaged radar vans, exploding unlaunched missiles, and burning and mangled transport vehicles." The startled North Vietnamese crews on the ground around the site filled the area with 37 MM anti-aircraft fire and heavy automatic weapons fire. The U.S. spokesman said none of the attacking Navy planes was hit and all returned safely to base on the Independence. Sunday's striking force was much smaller than the armada of 46 U.S. Air Force planes that made the first attack on two surface-to-air missile sites in North Viet Nam, about 40 miles northwest of Hanoi, in late July.

In that attack, one of the sites was destroyed and the other heavily damaged. Three of the attacking Air Force Thunderchief a were downed by intensive "ground fire" during the summer attack. The North Vietnamese mis- sile sites have been credited with bringing down at least three U.S. warplanes over North Viet Nam. The missiles erected at the site are believed to be Soviet- built SAM-2 surface-to-air missiles, a part of the Soviet aid program to North Viet Nam.

But the U.S. Defense Depart, ment has said it was assumed the sites were manned by North Vietnamese rather than Russians. At new I campus Language lab one of finest So that students may better learn to speak a foreign language, special emphasis was placed on the planning of the modern language laboratory for the new $3 million Indiana University Kokomo Campus building. The new facilities, which are among the finest in the state, will enable students to learn the total foreign language and not just reading are translating, with the aid of a dictionary. Didication ceremonies for the new building will be Friday, Nov.

12, at 3 p.m. in the Havens Auditorium of the building. The modern language laboratory contains 38 listening booths in the main room, plus a control room and recording studio. The latter enables the instructors to make original recordings for use by their classes. The control room provides for the copying of tapes from phonograph records, short wave radio and FM tuner.

It also makes it possible to play programs from any of these sources over remote lines through laboratory room consoles to student booths in the laboratory room consoles to student booths in the laboratory room proper, and to make original recordings from microphone onto tape. Loud speakers also have been installed. Windows have been provided in the control room so that technicians and instructors may view the laboratory from the control room. Approximately 500 tapes are available in the Kokomo language laboratory for the study of German, French, Spanish, and Russian. In addition, all tapes in the modern languages at the Bloomington campus of the University are available to the students at the Kokomo campus.

At a cost of $16,932, the language laboratory was installed by the Sound and Equipment Company of Noblesville which used equipment made by the Dage-Bell Corporation of Michigan City. Norman L. Mikesell, director of the language laboratory on the I.U. campus at Bloomington, supervised the furnishing of the laboratory in Kokomo, which he feels is more flexible and more adequate in the way it is equipped than the average language laboratory. The language program at the Kokomo Campus is supervised by Herbert C.

Miller, resident lecturer in Slavic languages and literatures. A 1952 graduate with high distinction, majoring in Spanish, from Butler University, Miller took up the study of Romanian and Russian while serving with the Air Force Intelligence Division. After his Air Vorce service, he entered the I.U. Graduate School and received the A.M. degree in Russian in 1952, and is now completing his doctoral dissertation.

While at I.U. he was a teaching associate and, in addition to teaching on the Bloomington campus, was on the part-time faculty of the University's Downtown Campus in Indianapolis. He joined the full-time faculty of the Kokomo Campus in 1960. During the fall semester of last year, Miller was on leave of absense on an assignment with the American Information Agency of the U.S. State Department.

The U.S. Agency previously presented an award to Miller for distinguished service as a resell of his work in 1954-56 as Romanian interpreter with the Air Force. "We believe if training in the new key is carried on properly the student will be a more fluent reader and writer Uneasy Dominican truce shaken by new slaying SANTO DOMINGO (UP1)-- The military denounced the Communist killing of right-wing politician Severo Cabral Sunday and issued a grim warning that "what began with shots must end with shots." The death of Cabral in a hail of machinegun fire Saturday night was the most recent incident in the violent political maneuverings that threatened to topple the uneasy truce which ended four months of rebellion here Aug. 31. Radio San Isidro, the voice of the Dominican Air Force, called Cabral "a democratic and anti Communist leader" and denounced his death as "murder." The broadcast also charged that the provisional government of President Hector Garcia-Godoy "is in the hands of the Communists." "What began with shots must end with shots, not in the signing of documents which no one respects," the broadcast said, referring to the treaty which ended the fighting and established the provisional government.

Cabral, a long-time opponent of leftist former President Juan Bosch, was cut down as he stepped into the front yard of his home, situated in an area of the city which is a stronghold of the leftists. The enraged Communists stormed from a meeting hall about four blocks from Cabral's home and attacked his residence. His wife and daughter also were cut down by the bullets and the three were taken through a rear door to a hospital. Cabral died en route and thw wife and daughter remain in serious condition. fine quality FASHION Hart Schaffnor 8.

Miller feels that after one year, student should be capable of conversing in a native language with complete ease. Through the language laboratory as the "planf'and magnetic tape as the "tool," the audio-lingual approach to teaching and learning a language is possible. As the sound feeds from the tapedeck through the earphones of the student, he is able to give intent concentration to listening and understanding the new language.

Through his own microphone he is able to respond to the stimuli contained on the tape.

They point out that this is the way one learns his own mother tongue. HERBERT C.
