But the North Vietnamese re newed their heavy shelling of lha defense line at My Chanh, 25 miles north of Hue.

Nearly 600 artillery and mortar rounds hit South Vietnamese positions there today. A North Vietnamese force with at least two tanks made a ground attack on one South Vietnamese position. The Sai gon command claimed that 35 North Vietnamese and one South Vietnamese were killed and 29 government troops were wounded. The tanks apparently escaped. The U.S.

Command disclosed that it is absorbing the tactical operations centers of both the 7th Air Force and Strategic Air Command, but it denied that TO WASHINGTON (AP) Theln tne seating of delegates, Supreme Court, unable to settle several cases pose an only steel plant, put a power plant out of operation and i dropped two bridges in week-lend raids, the U.S. Command reported today. Radio Hanoi claimed that six U.S. F4 Phantoms were shot down, but the U.S. Command said it had no plane losses to report.

However, it is the com mand's policy to withhold such information as long as rescue operations are in progress. U.S. pilots flew more than 270, strikes on Saturday and a like number on Sunday. One flight of four Phantoms hit the Viet Tri thermal power plant 25 miles northwest of Hanoi on Sunday with 2,000 pound, laser-guided bombs. They "effectively destroyed the plant's capability to produce electrical power for the nearby industrial complex," a commu nique said.

Reconnaissance photos con firmed the destruction of the boiler facility, the electrical switching building, and the flue and coal conveyor, the commu nique said. It was learned that the Vict Tn plant was attacked on June 1 with laser bombs, but that raid was not announced be cause it failed to put the plant out of commission.

Sixteen other Phantoms bombed warehouse areas. The Air Force said part of the plant was not hit but the destruction of the furnaces destroyed North Vietnam's entire capacity for producing structural steel for railroads, bridges and buildings. About 100 U.S. B52s bombed North Vietnamese positions along South Vietnam's northern front for the fourth sycessive day, dropping 2,500 tons of explosives across a wide area around enemy-held Quang Tri City and in the foothills and Laborers Repairing Viet Spans SAIGON (AP) Labor forces are repairing some bridges knocked out by U.S. bombing along North Vietnam's northeast rail line linking Hanoi with China, U.S.

military sources said today. They did not rule out the possibility that some workers may be Chinese. They commented shortly after Radio Hanoi announced that "new forces" have joined the North Vietnamese struggle to maintain its transportation system against the sustained American bombing campaign. The broadcast did not idenli- not be determined whether the reference was to a realignment of North Vietnamese work de tails or to Communist Chinese laborers. U.S.

military sources here said they were unable to immC' diately analyze the meaning of the broadcast. They noted that during the 1965-68 American bombing campaign there was a work force of Communist Chinese in North Vietnam. "There is no sign of this at this time," said one source. "You can't tell from the air whether the people working on the northeast rail line are Chinese or North Vietnamese. But we expect they are Vietnamese." One source said progress had been made in repairing bridges on the northeast line wrecked since the resumption of full-scale bombing April 6.

"We watch them very close ly," he added. "We let them go ahead and reconstruct the bridges and when they just about get done, we attack them again. We intentionally let them spend their effort on the repairs." During the 1065-6S bombing campaign, about 300,000 North Vietnamese laborers ere mobilized to repair bombed-out tracks so trains could begin running again snortiy after American attack planes hit. There were in addition to the Communist Chinese railroad troops. So far, according to one U.S.

source, the number of laborers working since the resumption of the bombing "is not substantial at all compared to the previous years." hottest day officially recorded so far this year.
