Hard in 5057 Bong Son 'l i 1 By MICHAEL T. MALLOY SAIGON (UPI) Horsemen" of the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division smashed into a Viet Cong regimental headquarters near Bong Son today, driving through heavy automa tic weapons fire to kill at least 126 Communist defenders. In Saigon, Viet Cong terrorists exploded two plastic bombs in crowded streets outside the Vietnamese armed forces headquarters compound, killing 12 persons and wounding 60. Most of the casualties were civilians, no Americans were hurt.

American and Allied forces have been pressing a massive weeks long hunt and destroy campaign in the Bong Son area, about 310 miles northeast of Saigon. A North Vietnamese battalion commander captured two days ago led the 1st Cavalry troops to the VC regimental headquarters, hidden in a valley. Helicopters moved ahead of the cavalrymen, dropping 70,000 leaflets bearing the picture ei battalion commander Dong Doan, 36. The leaflets also carried Doan's message to Communist troops that it was useless for them to resist the Americans. The message was ignored.

The first cavalrymen into the valley were pinned down by automatic weapons fire from three sides. They called for artillery and air support and armed helicopters. One helicopter was hit by 35 bullets as it flew into the landing zone with reinforce WILLIAM H. HARRISON Laser Used Successfully In Surgery CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI) An operation in which a laser beam was used to prevent bleeding while a tumor was removed appears to have been successful, two University of Cincinnati surgeons said Wed nesday. But they added that "we'll have to observe the patient over a period of several months to see how he feels" before it can be determined if the laser has a future in bloodless surgery.

Dr. Leon Goldman, director of the Laser Laboratory at Children Hospital, said an argon (gas) laser of the type to be used for communications experiments in the next Gemini space flight was used in the operation two weeks ago. He said the intense beam from the laser cauterized the blood vessels around the tumor in the thigh of a man suffering from cancer as it cut through the vessels, thus preventing any bleeding. Dr. Thomas E.

Brown, who conducted the operation, stated "there is no apparent reason why we cannot use the same laser to cut into the liver, the spleen or even the brain without fear of hemorrhage." It's a Boy OXFORD, England (UPI) -Princess Christina of Hesse, niece of England's Prince Philip and wife of artist Robert van Eyck, gave birth to a son here, it was announced today. At least nine girls remained at large today following three separate outbreaks of rioting Wednesday that injured 11 girls at the Indiana girls school. Officials of the institution, the scene of similar rioting in 19G4, said one fugitive turned herself in at daylight after contacting a service station owner. ane promised to surrender if she could talk to newsmen, authori ties said. Carloads of girls from the minimum security school of the penal institution were rounded up during screaming outbreaks of window and furniture smash ing.

The cause of the disturbances was not known, penal officials said, but said it may have stemmed from "a misunderstanding about privileges." State police continued to patrol the area around the penal Institution for delinquent girls in hopes of finding some of the inmates who escaped during raucous melees Wednesday afternoon and evening. Three separate outbreaks raged through the block-square complex. Authorises said the third outbreak was the most violent of the day, with scores of screaming girls running around, breaking windows and smashing furniture. At least 11 girls were injured. Most of them were cut and bruised.

Even state Corrections Commissioner Bernard Dolnick becanir engaged in a brief fracas with several girls late Wednesday as he walked among the two-story housing cottages. One inmate was removed from the grounds to the Indiana Women's Prison Wednesday night. State police said officials were not sure whether classes would be held in the school's classroom building today due to extensive window breakage. Authorities said broken glass and bloodstained window sills were mute testimony to the violence which ripped the school. The exact cause of the disturbance was not determined.

Black Appointed Parole Officer CHEYENNE, Wyo. (UPI)-Washakie County Sheriff James Black, 40, today was named state parole and probation offi cer. The State Board of Charities and Reform chose Black to re place longtime probation and parole officer Norman Baillie, who was fired by the board Feb. 8. The appointment will become effective March 14.

Black has been county sheriff for the past 12 years. He has been director of the consolidated sheriff-police department at Worland since 1963. Baillie was fired by the board after being involved in a one-car accident in a state vehicle. heavy for her to carry into the house. She wa listed in satisfactory condition in a hospital Investigators said the blast l-robably would have been fatal if the package had been opened on a table at chest level as intended.

"I don't know why I did it, but I knew if she opened that case it would kill her," Robison told officers. The strapping youth, winner of a football letter last year, became a prime suspect in the case when Nancy, a high school senior, told police she had received threatening, letters since her breakup with Robison. The youth; described as a "quiet, average kind of boy," admitted the attempted slaying under intensive questioning, police said, and took officers to a rural spot where he dumped pieces of the shotgun he had to remove to make it fit in the attach case. Cold Knifes South From Middlewest By United Press International A blast of frigid air numbed much of the Midwest today and sent sub-freezing temperatures knifing southward nearly to the Gulf Coast. Temperatures plunged as low as 34 degrees below zero at Roseau, Minn.

The Dakotas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan reported sub-zero readings. Temperatures fell below zero nearly to the Culf of Mexico and frost covered much of the Southwest. Phoenix, recorded 30 degrees, 5 degrees colder than Boston, Mass. Fort Worth, had a low of 23. Snow fell over much of the Great Lakes area and New England early today.

Amounts generally were light except at Eastport, Maine, which report ed three inches in six hours. Authorities at Sault Ste. Marie, searched the frigid waters of Lake Superior for two fishermen who vanished in a snowstorm. It was feared the snowsled the two men were riding might have slipped through the lake's thin ice and sank. Two small fishing tugs with six men aboard wsre stranded in the ice a quarter mile off South Haven, in Lake Michigan.

The men were said to be not in any danger, but the Coast Guard cutter Woodbine battle 30-foot waves and 40 mile-an-hour winds to reach and remove them. Rain fell today throughout much of the East and turned to snow in sections of New England and down into the Appalachians. More rain was expected in northern Florida and along the Georgia-Carolina coast. Rain changing to scattered snow fell inland along the northern Pacific Coast to the northern Rockies. More show ers were expected today in Washington and the cold weather was expected to reach Mississippi.

'Explosions' Believed To Be Sonic Booms Casper residents were puzzled Wednesday afternoon about several explosions heard in the area. Although authorities at the Casper Air Terminal and the Wyoming Air National Guard had no information on the explosions it was generally believed they were sonic booms from jet aircraft. Neither the fire department nor the law enforcement agen cies had any information con cerning the explosions. Girl Found Safe CHEYENNE, Wyo. (UPI)-Police detectives today found 14-year-old Diane Poston, who disappeared from her grandparents' home last Saturday, staying with friends in Cheyenne.

The junior high school girl had moved to Cheyenne from Kimball, during January to live with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thornton. Thornton said the girl packed her clothes and left Saturday and had not been heard from until today. t- THE OLD It probably would be too much to expect to see those reduced street cutting charges reflected in the water bills.

Saigon BATTLE PORTRAITS: The grimness and icy horror of war are clearly reflected in the face of four young American fighting men, in these photos taken during "Operation Eagle's Claw." These men are a part of the U.S. First Cavalry Division (UPI Telephoto). Gen. Taylor Says Buildup Necessary might make theirs. In his letter to the state chairman, Harrison said that in announcing his candidacy for re-election to the U.

S. House that he had given very careful consideration to where he could render the most service to Wyoming and its citizens. Harrison said, "I feel that my past service in the house with the experience I have gained there during my four terms makes that the logical place for me. I will still have valuable seniority and my friendships on both sides of the aisle in the house will give me influence and help that a freshman member will lack. "In addition, my previous service on the powerful appropriations committee will give me priority for reappointment to that committee.

I feel that with the loss of Senator Simpson, experience in the House is now even more important. I am proud of my record in Congress and if re-elected I will continue to give dedicated service to my constituents." Harrison served in the 1945-1947 and 1949 sessions of the State Legislature as a member of the House trom Sheridan County. He was secretary to the" Wyoming Interim Committee 1947-1950. Elected to the U. S.

House he served in the 32nd and 83rd Congresses, 195153 and 1963-1965. He served as a regional administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency from April, 1955, to Aug. 31, 1956, and was liasion office for the House and Home Finance Agency, handling contacts with the senate and house, from April, 1957, until November, 1958.

It flew out again and was grounded after reaching safety. UPI Correspondent Daniel Southerland, accompanying the 1st Cavalry troops, said 2,365 rounds of artillery were fired in support of the troops. He reported fighting was at close range throughout the day, a tactic apparently adopted by the Viet Cong to reduce their losses to U.S. air and artillery fire. Six Viet Cong were captured, including one who identified himself as a regimental staff officer.

The terrorist bombings here came within 30 seconds of each other in streets teeming with lunch hour crowds. Both bombs were hidden in saddlebags on bicycles parked with others on Vo Thanh Street in the western suburb of Phu Nhuan. The suburb separates the city limits from Saigon's major Tan Son Nhut Airport. The front wall of a house occupied by four U.S. servicemen was blown in, but none of the three Americans inside at the time was hurt.

All later declined to identify themselves, saying they feared their families in the United Stales would become concerned Mr their safety. Driving Up Street SP4 Roger Howell of Atlanta, was driving up the street on his way to lunch when the first bomb went off outside the GI villa 200 yards in front of him. "Objects were flying through the air and there were clouds of smoke," he said. Howell stopped in front of the house where the Americans lived and began aiding the wounded, loading them aboard his three-quarter ton truck. A 20-year-old girl was dead in the street but Howell picked up eight others who were wounded.

The second blast occurred 50 yards away, spraying metal pellets into the path of crowds running to help at the scene of the first explosion. ment. But he said it was most important that we move aggressively on the ground." During his lengthy testimony, Taylor was subjected to critical questioning by Morse and during subsequent, hot exchanges the faces of both men flushed with anger. Taylor said it would be good news to Hanoi if Johnson's Viet Nam policy were repudiated by the American people, as advocated by Morse. "You are using one of those smear arguments that you militarists give us and I don't intend to get down into the gutter with you and debate," Morse fired back at Taylor.

The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former ambassador to South Viet Nam told Morse during a bristling exchange that "I would feel that our people would be badly misguided" if they repudiated the U.S. military effort. "You and the President in my judgment have been misguiding the American people," retorted Morse. Morse's accusation brought applause from the back of the packed Senate caucus room. Chairman J.

William Fulbright, rapped for order and warned spectators that no demonstrations were permitted. Taylor's testimony also sparked a display of senatorial short temper between Fulbright and Senate Democratic whip Russell B. Long, an outspoken administration supporter. Long interrupted Fulbright at one point to complain the chairman was "making speeches" and asked that Fulbright let Taylor complete answers to questions. WASHINGTON (UPI) -Gen.

Maxwell D. Taylor said today more aggressive U.S. military action on the ground meaning more American troops was necessary in Viet Nam. He said the present U.S. troop commitment of 205,000 was not sufficient and more men would be needed.

But he said he did not know whether, as some senators have indicat ed, the total might reach 600,000. Sen. John J. Stennis, who mentioned the 600,000 figure last week, said today at least a partial callup of reservists and National Guardsmen likely will be necessary. The increasing cost of the war also is likely to mean higher taxes, Stennis said.

Taylor got into a fierce argument with Sen. Wayne Morse, the most outspoken foe of administration policy. Taylor in effect accused Morse of advocating forced Communism on the people of Viet Nam. Morse in turn accused Taylor of using "smear arguments" and, with the President, of deceiving the American people. The Viet Nam debate was carried on both in the crowded committee room and on the Senate floor.

The President tuned in on the televised defense of his policy by Taylor. Two television sets were on in Johnson's office, both carrying the live questioning of Taylor by senators. Taylor said present strategy could win in Viet Nam, but he advocated more ground action, in addition to continued bomb ing of North Vict Nam. He said he was unable to fix a figure on the possible maximum U.S. troop commit States could "completely annihilate" the Communists in Viet Nam with military power, "crush them to dirt and rubble if we wished." But the senator said he wanted to determine "whether we are justified in pushing this to that conclusion." Taylor, sitting erect, legs crossed at the ankles and clutching his shell-rim spectacles, replied: "It is not our objective to crush or destroy North Viet Nam." He defined U.S.

objectives as assuring a free government in South Viet Nam, free of attack. Sen. John J. Sparkman, D- asked Taylor whether "we can win" in Viet Nam. Saying that "our basic objective (is) to offer freedom and self determination to South Viet Nam," Taylor answered, "I think we can do that, yes." The televised hearings, starting two hours before the Senate floor session, took the spotlight again in the burgeoning Senate battle over Viet Nam.

More pro and con speeches were forthcoming on the floor in the afternoon, led by a hardline advocate of administration policy, Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss. Sen. J.

William Fulbright, D- chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a critic of present policy, reaffirmed his conviction that the televised hearings were in the national interest. There has been some administration grumbling about their advisability. Fulbright said he felt the inquiry "is our duty under the Constitution." BIRMINGHAM, Ala. It appeared to be a high school romance lifted out of a Hollywood script: The hand-1 some football player courting the pretty cheerleader and becoming engaged. But the love match soured late last year and the engagement was broken.

Hollis Victor Robison 19, brooded about his "lost love" and finally, he told police Wednesday, "lovt turned to hate." Then an idea came to him from a novel he had read. Charged with assault with intent to murder, Robinson calmly explained that he rigged a 16-gauge sawed-off shotgun in a red attache case, disguised it as a Valentine and left it on the steps of 18-year-old Nancy Adams' house. Nancy's sister, Patricia, 13, got to the package first, however, and was wounded in the feet by a shotgun blast when she opened the present on her doorstep because it was too.
