Red Rockets An AT New to JOHN T. WHEELER SAIGON (AP) Defensive zmtom allied bases In Wnaam Wlin to be in awoUr the big Stmt rockets the nssd far the first time Monday attacking the American iirbase at Da Nang, U.S. military source said today. The lttnm rockets used in the predawn attack ware find Iran positions six miles to the south of the bate. Soma VS.

Marine ports extend that far from the base, but more are no conventional trend) lines: sealing off me area at that distance. The SI rockets which landed on the base and the adjoining village of Ap Do killed 12 Marines and 35 Vietnamese civilians, wounded 32 Americans and: Vietnamese, slightly damaged planes and hit several military buildings, including barracks, the post exchange and officers club. Until now, plans for defense of major bases have been geared mostly to stopping 81mm mortars wllh a range of about 2.6 miles and guarding against suicide squads carrying satchel charges which attempt to breach the bases' perimeters. There have been instances when 120mm mortars, with a range of just over three miles, were used. UJ5.

military sources said the laoinm rockets have a longer lange and pack more explosives than any weapon used by the Communists to date in periodic shellioga of permanent allied installations. They are also 'much lighter and easier to fire than mortars, making them handier to sneak into position for an attack. While mortars weigh, several hundred pounds, the rocket tubes can be carried with ease by a single man. Setting up mortar positions is time consuming, making the possibility of detection higher. The rockets, mounted on wooden frames, are touched off in groups by an electrical charge.

The 81mm mortar, most common of the Viet Cong's attack weapons, has an explosive warhead weighing nine pounds. The rocket warhead carries 26 pounds of explosive. Drawbacks lo the rockets are their long fire tails and lack of accuracy compared to mortars. The fiery tails of the rockets Monday allowed aircraft and gunship helicopters to spot and rake the communist positions south of Da Nang. THE WEATHER "VARIABLE cloudiness tonight, 20 pet.
