Navy pilots from the carriers Kitty Hawk and Hancock, flying 39 missions, struck at an army barracks 28 miles northeast of Haiphong and coastal bridges, roads, junks and barges.

A Vietnamese spokesman reported the Tarn Ky air strip 35 miles south of Da Nang was attacked Monday by Viet Cong. No planes were damaged at the field, which was defended by Vietnamese and American units. The Vietnamese reported killing 10 Viet Cong and taking moderate casualties themselves. No U.S. casualties were reported.

In another action today, the Vietnamese headquarters re ported killing 59 Viet Cong of an estimated force of 200 in an operation 33 miles southeast of Saigon.

president (i tarred the Pentagon and the quarreling armed services as no other secretary of defense before him could. Testifying before congressional committees, speaking at news conferences and in other public forurns McNamara often gives the impression of being harsh, impersonal, sometimes truculent and even autocratic. His critics call him "Super- mac." One House committee has likened him to a Caesar. He is very much aware of what is written about him, and of the way he comes across on television. Is he trying to soften his pul lie image? Perhaps.

But his associates insist his Montreal and Pittsburgh speeches were built around themes he long has pondered and that he felt these were proper platforms from which to air them. In Montreal, the defense secretary told the editors he proposed asking every young person in the United States to give two years of service, either in the military, the Peace Corps, or some volunteer program to better mankind. This was interpreted by some as a trial balloon looking toward a legislation-based program that would result in a form of universal service. Later, it became known that McNamara merely was attempting to point up a moral obligation to serve, not any legal obligation, and to stimulate public discussion of this. At the commencement ceremony, the man whose name has become synominous with the computer told the graduates, "It seems a little premature to worry that the computer is on the verge of replacing the human brain." But as he extolled the brain as "an utterly incredible computer itself," McNamara betrayed his fascination for statistics.

"Though it weighs only about three pounds," the defense secretary said, "it contains some 10 billion nerve cells, each of which has some 25,000 possible interconnections with other nerve cells." Erhard Arrives For London Talks LONDON (AP) West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard arrived in London today for two days of meetings with Prime Minister Harold Wilson.

Fla.

AP)Miss USA said today that good manners for men are a must in her book. "Men who have bad manners could be called my pet peeve," said Maria Judith Remenyi, who was selected Saturday night.

Buddhist monks said a GI had killed the Vietnamese. Some U.S. sources said the shot was fired by a Vietnamese guard with the convoy, but other American accounts of the incident did not say whether an American or a Vietnamese fired the shot or whether it came from another source. The riot was the first big display of anti-Americanism since Buddhist monks led their youthful supporters on nightly rampages through Saigon for a week last month in support of Buddhist demands for a civilian government. It was the fourth straight day of disorders around the institute, a large compound with a pagoda and barracks housing Buddhist offices and quarters for the monks.

In Saigon's adjacent Chinese city of Cholon, an explosion wrecked a tenement building, burying up to 20 persons in the ruins. Officials said the blast could have been caused by gas or the accidental explosion of a Viet Cong arms cache. No Americans were known to have been in the area. Sporadic firing had continued until late Sunday night in Da Nang, 380 miles northeast of Saigon, but the shooting ended with a heavy tropical downpour. Iraqi Planes Bomb Khurdish Rebels In North Lebanon CAP) Iraqi planes have bombed concentrations of Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, and the army has captured hundreds of wounded Kurds, Baghdad radio reported today.

The broadcast, quoting government-controlled Baghdad newspapers, said two sons of the Kurdish leader, Mullah Mustafa Barzani. were killed in the fighting. Barzani's oldest son, Luqman, was reported killed last week. The radio said the Iraqi army had scored "great victories" in its new offensive against the Kurds, and that hundreds of fleeing guerrillas were turned back at the Iranian border and subsequently captured. Other reports from northern Iraq said the fighting is the fiercest in the five-year-old war between the Kurds, who demand autonomous rule, and the central government.

New Way Found To Stop Hair Loss, Grow More Hair HOUSTON, Texas If you don't suffer from male pattern baldness, you can now stop your hair loss and grow more hair. For years "they said it couldn't be done." But now a firm of laboratory consultants has developed a treatment that is not only slopping hair loss but is really growing hair! They don't even ask you to take their word for it.

If they believe that the treatment will help you, they invite you to try it for 32 days, at their risk, and see for yourself! Naturally, they would not offer this no-risk trial unless the treatment worked. However, it is impossible to help everyone. The great majority of cases of excessive hair and baldness are the beginning and more fully developed stages of male pattern bald- ness and cannot be helped. But, if you are not already slick' bald, how can you be sure what is actually causing your hair loss? Even if baldness may seem to "run in your family," this is certainly no proof of the of YOUR hair loss. Many conditions can cause hair loss.

No matter which one is causing your hair loss, if you wait until you are slick bald and your hair roots are dead, you are beyond help. So, if you still havs any hair on top of your head, and would like to stop your hair loss and grow more hair now is the time to do something about it before it's too late. Loesch Laboratory Consultants, will supply you with treatment for 32 days, at their risk, if they believe the treatment will help you. Just send them the information listed below.
