U.S. aircraft and American-advised South Vietnamese ground troops had been hunting the Viet Cong regiment for weeks.

The hard U.S. air attack came after U.S. Army helicopters sighted and assaulted about 100 guerrillas believed to be part of the Viet Cong regiment. Poor weather conditions prevented the landing of government troops but air attacks were ordered. The Viet Cong have long held out in the steaming jungles in the Mekong Delta and government action in that area has been picking up over the past few weeks.

The area is laced with canals and rivers and patched with rice paddies and 0 UNSETTLED weather conditions appear in store for the Missoula area Sunday, with skies mostly cloudy.

Phyllis Edwards, barred from being ordained in the Episcopalian Church, will be recognized Sunday as a minister in ceremonies at Grace Cathedral led by Bishop James A. Pike. Mrs. Edwards will remain a deaconess and will not be in holy orders. She can go under the title of reverend.

Bishops, priests, deacons and deaconesses are ministers in the Episcopalian church. Deancons and deaconesses are forbidden to perform marriages. But deacons can distribute communion if the elements have been blessed by a bishop. Bishop Pike sought approval last week of the House of Bishops meeting at Glacier Park, to ordain Mrs. Edwards.

They refused. Bishop Pike, who survived heresy charges at the bishops meeting, said the service of investiture will be, in effect, a recognition of the continuing service of Mrs. Edwards in a poor san Francisco neighborhood and of her degrees in the ology. The duties of Mrs. Edwards include taking care of the sick and the poor and preparing persons for baptism.

Bob Harkins, son of the motel owner, and KicKy trqunart, 11, 224 E. Spruce, were sleeping in a motel room for fun. They no- ticed an albino skunk outsie, captured it and placed the ani mal a milk box at the motel.

When Bob's mother found out she reported the found skunk to police, thinking it was someone's pet. When no one claimed the animal she called the University of Montana Zoology Department, learning it would use the skunk in research. Meanwhile, the skunk bit Ricky, who was hospitalized for observation and given a rabies shot. Doctors first thought the serum would have to be flown in from Seattle but later located some in Missoula. The skunk will have to be quarantined at a veterinary hospital.

officials in Saigon expressed belief 1,000 to 2.000 Viet Cong troops including one long-hunted hard core battalion might be trapped. Heavy rains and 30 mile-an-hour winds stalled a South Vietnamese ground effort to move in against the guerrilla regiment. A U.S. spokesman in Saigon said almost 100 air strikes were made against the guerrilla headquarters near Soc Trang on the Bach Nga Cai River by nightfall. Viet Cong casualties were believed to be heavy.

Associated Press photographer Horst Faas flew over the area, 150 miles southeast of Sai gon, and reported the bombing attacks had blasted and burned away thick brush and jungle cover, exposing Viet Cong bun kers. He said escape routes Troops Pouring (Continued From Page One) Unlike U.S. Army ground un its, the airmobile division lacks organized armor and medium and heavy artillery. Preprations for the arrival of the division have been under way for weeks in this coastal city 260 miles northeast of Sai gon. Advance elements of the units landed several weeks ago.

U.S. military authorities have classified the destination of the division in South Viet Nam. The air mobile division was ordered to Viet Nam by Presi dent Johnson July 28 as part of the announced U.S. buildup to 125,000 men. The division created less than three months ago in a new effort to deal with the problems of guerrilla warfare with a unit able to go into battle entirely by helicopter.

More than 400 helicopters will. be available to carry the division's paratroopers and infan trymen into combat. U.S. mili tary planners believe the division's speed and maneuver ability will be ideal in fighting in the jungles and mountains of Viet Nam. The division formally came Snto existence Jury 1 under the Sdesignafion 1st Cavalry Division '(air mobile) after a study of three years authorized by Mc- Namara.The air mobility con cept underwent extensive tests Ft.

The federal government rushed emergency help men, food, medical supplies to this beleaguered city. "You ask for it and you'll get it." Robert Phillips of the Office of Emergency Planning told city officials. He spoke as President Johnson's personal representative. The naval air station here opened old World War II buildings to house refugees who overflowed city shelters. The Army flew in field tc help feed the swelling number of refugees.

Adding to the misery of the rescue workers and the victims was the threat of bites from deadly water moccasins blown in from the bayous and swamps. Much of New Orleans remained without electric power or telephone service late Saturday. In addition to the dead in Louisiana, Betsy took seven lives in Florida, four in Arkansas and one in Mississippi. Helicopters whirled over the flooded sections of New Orleans throughout the" day, landing wherever they could for quick evacuation of the sick and the pregnant. The copters and the ragtag fleet of boats and trucks brought out about 35,000 people and were looking for more.

Trucks and city buses moved the evacuees to emergency shelters in New Orleans the city hall, the municipal auditorium, schools, churches. The Red Cross reported 45,000 people in emergency shelters most of them flood victims, others still unable to return to homes damaged by winds. The meeting between Phillips and city officials came less than 24 hours after President Johnson made a flying trip to New Orleans and took a two-hour tour of the devastation. The President declared Louisiana a major disaster area, opening the way to federal aid for hurricane victims. vWWWAA VW WWWWVWWWVAWVi 2 to 6 P.M.

The United States has an agreement to give military assistance if India is attacked by any Communists. The Republican ban on arms aid would have applied to any country receiving such aid that moved militarily against another recipient of U.S. assistance. Dirksen did not indicate that Senate Republicans will revive the aid ban beaten in the House.

But he said in an interview that the India-Pakistan conflict is certain to be discussed at a Tuesday meeting of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. Former Vice President Rich ard M.

Dirksen, said Saturday the Senate may be asked to delay action on the House-passed for-eip aid money bill to await developments in the India-Pakistan conflict. The Senate Republican leader said that while the Senate Appropriations Committee probably will finish work on the bill soon, he does not expect it to be brought up "until we can see a little better what's likely to happen" in the Asian war. The committee failed to raise a quorum Friday and postponed final action on the measure until Monday. Before the appropriations group meets in midafternoon, Secretary of State Dean Rusk is to appear at a closed session of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to report on the Southeast Asia situation. His review will cover the India-Pakistan fighting and developments in Viet Nam.
