The paratroopers are members of the 173rd Airborne Bri gade who came by boat from Okinawa to join about 2,000 members of the brigade already in Viet Nam.

A U.S. spokesman said they would help defend American installations at the Bien Hoa airbase 20 miles north of Saigon. The Marines landed at Chu Lai, 52 miles southeast of the strategic U.S.-Vietnamese air-base at Da Nang. They boosted to 14,000 the force of Leather necks thrown Into ihe war against the Communist Viet Cong. NO FANFARE The Marine landing i lacked the usual fanfare of pretty girls with flowers and official welcoming parties.

A spokesman called it a "routine administrative affair." About 5,000 Marines are now concentrated at Chu Lai. U.S. Seabees are to build an foot jet airstrip there for two Marine attack squadrons that will give added air muscle In central Viet Nam. Twelve U.S,f Air Force F105 fighter-bombers supported by 12 South Viet Nam planes raked targets Along five highways about 160 miles south of Hanoi today, then hit the North Viet namese port of Vinh. South of Satoon.

the bitter bat tie for the provincial fcapftal of Song Be appeared over with the routing of an estimated 1,500 Communist guerrillas who pulled, back into the hills after a fierce day-long struggle that claimed the lives of five American military advisers and 27 Vietnamese defenders. Before the landing, one Marine on guard duty was wounded as the Viet Cong harassed the Marine positions. No Communist activity was reported during the landing. The landing heightened specu lation that the entire 3rd Marine Division on Okinawa eventually would be committed to the fight against the Viet Cong. SEARCH FOR REDS The Chu Lai Marines, now up to regimental strength, are ex-, pected to begin the countryside in search of Communists.

The Marines at Da Nang, who now total about 9,000 men, have been assigned more than 100 square miles of additional territory west of the airbase to be cleared of Viet Cong. Originally the Da Nang Marines were said to be assigned only defense po-s sitions around the airbase.

Elwyn Dunsfan PROPOSITIONS 1 -Charter 2 School Tax 'Split U.C.' Report Criticized Board Chairman 'Disappointed' in Recommendations. By CARL IRVING Tribune Staff Writer LOS ANGELES The chairman of the U.C, Board of Regents, Edward W.

Carter, and two other regents, have strongly criticized a special committee staff report which proposes splitting up the. University of California. The report, requested and paid for by the regents, blamed the board for the turmoil on the Berkeley campus. The report said semi-inde pendent campuses were needed to "save the university. Carter, speaking at a press conference in the Statler-Hilton Hotel yesterday, claimed that the regents favored "evolution" rather thdff "revolution" as pro- -posed in the report.

DISAPPOINTED' He said he was "disap pointed in the report, as were other regents, especially about what he called "philosophic sanction" of what minority of students had done at Berkeley. Carter said he did not agree with the reasoning that the pres ident and chancellor at U.C. had handled the student crises in eptly and that therefore the regents responsibility should now be delegated. The study was prepared by a staff of nine men beaded by at torney: Jerome Byrne, It pad been commissioned by the re gents themselves, through a spe- cial committee headed by wii Jiam E. Forbes.

Forbes Said yesterday that the Byrne Study would be "but one of the tools for use by the com-: mitfee in its work as it prepares its report to the board." THREE-MONTH STUDY Forbes said the committee was now concerned either with approving or disapproving of the Byrne Study. i The report, which took three months to prepare, cost the Regents about $75,000. It involved the reading of large amounts of materials and hundreds of interviews, Byrne said, ranging from talks with U.S. student Mario Savio to Stanford's president Wallace Sterling. Byrne said he had also interviewed the presidents of Yale, Wisconsin and Michigan universities.

"I am sure the regents will give the report careful and objective consideration," Byrne said. "You can be sure of that," Carter responded. But a little later, Carter said he doubted if the Forbes committee would "treat most of the recommendations with great seriousness." Carter said he believed proposals for decentralizing the U.C.

fi a City Charter ........48 Learn to Read It For 'Cop on Beat' Bill Eastbay Police Testimony Spurs Protection Move By ED SALZMAN Tribune Capital Bureau SACRAMENTO Dramatic testimony from Eastbay policemen who have been attacked by hoodlums won a major victory today for law enforcement officials in their long campaign for tough laws to protect "the cop on the beat." Admittedly "horrified" by assault stories narrated by Oakland and Richmond officers, the Assembly -criminal procedure committee approved a strong bill increasing penalties for attacks on policemen. Thisjs the same committee which has steadfastly refused to clear any significant measure designed to combat crime and immorality in California. -Assemblyman Don Mulford, R-Oakland, author of the cop-on-the-beat legislation, said the committee's action constitutes "a breakthrough we have been seeking for eight years." Key to the committee's change of heart was the breakaway of Assemblyman Gordon Winton D-Merced, from the five-man bloc which has held up similar measures in the past. Winton was obviously im pressed with the testimony of patrolman William W. Winn of Richmond, who described what happened to him when he at tempted to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a girl at a bas ketball game.

I Sir Bernard LovelL who had taken personal charge of track ing the exploratory spacecraft, said he had no explanation of what could have happened to it. "We suspect, and it is nothing more, than suspicion at the moment, that the retro, rockets in the Russian moon rocket may have failed to fire," said Sir Lovell. This could mean either that the craft crashed on the moon or overshot the satellite-in either case, failin its primary mission of a "soft" sit- down on the moon's surface and the transmission of data back to earth The retro rockets were Intend ed to slow the ship so that it could ease down without dam age to its delicate instruments.
