Tine9 Tank Area, But Camp Holds By Henri Huet EEN KET, SOUTH VTET-KAM (AP) The Soviet-built PT-75 tank waj chopped up as though it had been assaulted by a giant with a can opener.

The roof of the engine compartment was peeled oK. Lying at the edge of the road as the left track, ripped off. Fittings on the steel gray Vehicle were twisted and tuckled. The turret was jammed open. This was one that didn't get Way, one of the 10 North Vietnamese tanks that attempted to assault the lonely Special Forces camp of Ben Jiet early Tuesday.

I -The reason that this lS-ton-jktit lay broken on the wind-tag day track leading to the camp was obvious. Ten feet away from the wreckage was red triangular sign printed -with the word "mines" In rwhite. Either the tank crew didn't iee the sign in the dark, or Jhey couldn't read English. They hit the mine. Farther down the road were the mangled remains of an-jpther tank, its body a melted tnass of metal, with only the wheel-base recognizable.

In Addition to the mines, there tad been heavy American air attacks on the tanks. Scattered wreckage of several other Soviet-built vehicles could be seen down the winding road known as Highway "512, but which is just a cart rack. "This is great country for tanks," commented Ii. Col. '-Andrew J.

Marquis of Special Forces commander for Kontum Prov-'ince waving at the rolling hills. "But it didn't do the Communists much good. The camp held. IWe drove them off." Marquis was one of three Forces officers who', landed by helicopter at noon. IThey stayed on the ground three minutes because it -was believed that North Vietnamese were still in the area.

Scattered around one tank were bloody bandages, numerous burned articles of clothing, a driver's belmet, and printed pages, apparently of Instructions for running the tank printed in Russian. There were no bodies. Ben Het held at the cost of three killed, including two Americans, and eight wounded.

Meanwhile, U.S. military an- aylsts said Friday that the first phase of the Viet Cong's spring offensive in the Saigon area has ended, and the enemy appears to be preparing for a more violent second phase. After going through moun tains of captured documents and prisoner-of-war interroga tions, U.S.

officers charged with defending Saigon believe the second phase is scheduled for this weekend or early next week. But "Phase Two is still shaky and may not go," one highly placed officer said. Until the second phase of the offensive opens, if it does, the enemy is expected to concentrate on rocket and mortar attacks in an attempt to keep Allied forces busy while the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese re- consohdate and reposition their forces. The analysts say Allied spoiling actions are disrupting the enemy's plans to a certain degree, and "maybe he will and maybe he won't" launch the second phase as scheduled. Vat current Allied assessment Is that the Communist command is capable of division-size ground attacks against the sprawling Long Binh-Bien Hoa military complex, the biggest in Vietnam, 12 to 15 miles northeast of Saigon.

The enemy also is capable of multiregimental ground attacks on towns and bases west and northwest of Saigon, particu larly the provincial capital of Tay Ninh City and the district capital of Trang Bang. Hundreds of Allied reinforcements have been deployed to those areas in anticipation of enemy assaults. Military analysts also report the enemy is capable of mortar, and sapper (demolition) attacks on the Saigon military district, of ground assaults by local-force troops, and also could launch widespread simultaneous at tacks on provincial and district capitals.

rockets fell on Saigon Monday for the third time in nine days, killing 12 persons. The shelling was a clear violation of the reported 'understanding" between Wash ington and Hanoi that, in return for the Nov. I bombing halt, there would be no more attacks on South Vietnamese cities. Officials here applauded Rogers' statement that "indiscriminate shelling of Saigon and other cities is costing additional severe casualties to the enemy, obtains for them no military advantage and will not succeed if that is the enemy intention in putting any additional pressure on us in the Paris negotiations with the United States." Rogers' statement that "the consequences of these attacks are the responsibility of the other side was interpreted here as an implied warning to Hanoi that if the attacks con tinue the United States might start bombing North Vietnam again. Few if any observers felt that full-scale bombing of the north was in the cards or for that matter desirable.

It was suggested in unofficial quarters that the United States might retaliate for the attacks on Sai gon by matching each Communist rocket with a bomb on Hanoi. (Copyright, 1969) N. C. Student Unit Elects a Negro RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Cal vin McSwain, a student at North Carolina A.

The discussion was essen tially a review in preparation for the seventh full peace talks session. The ouestions raised by Viet Cong shelling of cities in South Vietnam are under constant re view in Washington, where Sec retary of State William Rogers has warned North Vietnam and the Viet Cong that the consequences of their attacks raise a question about their desire to seek a peaceful settlement All aspects of political and military police a re under American review. There is a hint in this that the United States will consider resumption of bombing of North Vietnam, on grounds that the North Vietnamese violated the agreement under which President Lyndon B. Johnson ended all the bombing of North Vietnam last Nov. 1.

Resumption of bombing could have a heavy impact on the Paris talks and even cause them to be broken off or suspended. The United States contends that an agreement still is in force requiring the North Viet namese to avoid such things as the shelling of cities in the South and movement of troops through the demilitarized zone buffer between north and south. There is no indication as of this moment that the peace talks here will be interrupted. But the publicized attitude of the North Vietnamese and Na tional Liberation Front, holding firmly to their maximum de mands for total U.S. withdrawal from South Vietnam, and the continuing Hanoi-Viet Cong of fensive in the soutn, promise only continued stalemate at the talks.

At least one analyst feels, however, that Saigon itself won't come under serious attack until a third and final phase of the offensive. Rogers' Stand Scores in Saigon By Keyes Beech (Des Moines Tribune-Chicago Daily Newt Service) SAIGON, SOUTH VIETNAM As viewed from Saigon, the Nixon administration is at last coming to grips with the chal lenge posed by renewed Communist shelling of Saigon and other South Vietnamese cities. Secretary of State William Rogers' strongly state ment Monday on indiscriminate rocket attacks on Saigon was welcomed here by both U.S. and South Vietnamese officials. Officials also were looking forward to the arrival Thursday of Defense Secretary Melvin 1 He said the commander of the 7th Fleet also ordered three destroyers to join the carrier Enterprise and the Truxton, a high speed transport.

"However, a number of factors which included time, distance and approaching darkness led to the decision that Pueblo could not be rescued by any military action before it had entered Wonsan harbor," Moor er said. Argument During his appearance before the subcommittee, the first of several congressional panels ex pected to probe the capture of the Pueblo Jan. 23, 1968, Moorer emphasized that the intelligence ship was operating in international waters the argument disputed by North Korea. "Her seizure by the North Koreans was an act of piracy in direct violation of international law," the -admiral said. The committee also will look into possible revisions in the code of conduct which applies to military personnel who are captured by enemy forces.
