cff Weair orf fir Gtep MS DDI! BuD good Cily Mays SAIGON (AP) U.S. war-planes, retaliating for attacks on unarmed reconnaissance aircraft, bombed deep inside North Vietnam Saturday in the heaviest raids on the North in seven months. Radio Hanoi denounced the new air raids on North Vietnam as a "serious act of war." It said there were two waves of attacks, including strikes in the morning in the vicinity of Hanoi and the port of Haiphong. Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird, however, said in Washington the planes were restricted to south of the 19th parallel, 150 miles north of the demilitarized zone separating the Viet-nams.

Hanoi and Haiphong are more than 100 miles north of the 19th parallel. Laird also said the raids were ending at 6 p.m. EST, 29V hours after Hanoi said they began. He added that the United States would continue to use such measures "as necessary to protect the pilots of our unarmed reconnaissance planes." U.S. officials declined to comment on Hanoi's claim that five jets and one helicopter were shot down.

Laird described as false Hanoi's claim that a prisoner of war camp was struck by bullets and a number of captive U.S. pilots were injured. Hanoi said the camp was north of Hanoi. The North Vietnamese delegation to the Paris peace talks said the raids on towns and villages "gravely affect the Paris conference on Vietnam." A spokesman for the North Vietnamese in Paris declined to be pinned down on whether North Vietnam might break off punished by the people in South as well as North Vietnam." Sources in Saigon interpreted this as a threat of rocket attacks against Saigon, other South Vietnamese cities and U.S. installations.

The U.S. Command gave no indication of how many planes took part in the raids. Witnesses at the big northern air base at Da Nang said scores of fighter-bombers armed with bombs and rockets took off from there. At least 300 other jets were within striking distance from bases in Thailand and on two U.S. aircraft carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Only Friday one of the carriers, the Hancock, steamed into position after a voyage from Alameda, Calif. The Hancock and the second carrier, the Oriskany, have a total of 150 planes. the talks or boycott the next session, Wednesday. The raids were aimed primarily at SAM missile and antiaircraft gun sites, and were the deepest since the bombing was halted over North Vietnam Nov. 1.

19fi8. Radio Hanoi, however, said the planes "repeatedly attacked many populated areas, communication lines and economic establishments." It added that attacks in the afternoon centered on the two southernmost provinces of Quang Binh and Ha Tinh. It said a considerable number of civilians were killed. The Viet Cong's Liberation radio in South Vietnam said the North Vietnamese general staff had warned "that should the United States continue to threaten the security of North Vietnam, it will be more severely North Vietnamese antiaircraft fire, seen from the city, was dense. The pounding of guns and the clatter of automatic weapons echoed through the quiet Hanoi streets, deserted after the local population took to air raid shelter.

Observers here viewed Saturday morning's raid as the start of a U.S. operation aimed at dissuading Hanoi from keeping up its aid to the Vietcong in South Vietnam. The observers say they are convinced that Washington doubts the success of its "Viet-namization" policy of turning the fighting over to the Saigon regime and is now seeking by all means possible to give it some breathing space. President Nixon, they say, has made success of Vietnamization" a personal affair and thus he was prepared to do everything possible to see the policy continue. (O 1970 New York Times HANOI, North Vietnam (Agence France Presse) Hanoi shook Saturday from the blast of bombs only 25 miles away as United States aircraft carried out raids starting at 2: 30 a.m.

Reports told of dead and wounded from the raids, which hit several towns around Hanoi, but there was no official announcement on the extent of casualties. The North Vietnam News Agnecy said the attacks were aimed at the port of Haiphong or the Red River estuary, the Quangbinh Mine complex and the Hatay and Hoabinh Areas, causing casualties among the civilian population. The agency said that a prisoner-of-war camp, containing captured Americans, had been hit by strafing planes and a number of prisoners were wounded. 4 4 (31 mint n. 85th Year-No.

"Zodiac" had been scrawled on the wall of the apartment, apparently in Salem's blood. But police discount any chance that Baker, a social dropout who admitted spending some time in California before coming to Montana last July for the fateful meeting with Schlosser, could be the "Zodiac" killer. Police have confirmed five deaths as the work of the "Zodiac" murderer.

Lt. Charles Ellis, chief of the San Francisco Homicide Bureau, said charges will be filed against Baker in the blood-bath slaying of Robert Salem, 40, whose lamp designs have been displayed in major art museums. Baker sullenly refused Friday in Livingston, district court to answer questions about Salem's death. Baker already is serving a life term for the cannibalism murder of James Michael Schlosser, 22, Great Falls.

"We have been asked by Montana authorities to hold up on it (charges) but when the trial is over we will take action," Ellis said. San Francisco police said Salem's killer had tried unsuccessfully to decapitate the victim. Salem's left ear was missing from the gory slaying scene when police found the body April 19, horribly mutilated in Salem's plush apartment-workshop in the rear of the San 4 if a 1 1 lejo, Calif. Officers said the "Zodiac" lead in Salem's death was an attempt to throw officers off the track by a link to the well-publicized Zodiac killer. Ellis said charges against Baker might be filed within a week of the end of the Montana trial.

Baker was a defense witness at Livingston in the first-degree murder trial of Harry Allen Stroup, a hippie hitchhiking companion who was with Baker in July. Stroup contends he had been separated from Baker the night of July 10 when Baker killed Schlosser, ate the victim's heart, and cut the body into six pieces. Both Stroup and Baker bore fingerbones when they were arrested in California July 13. it It ft Gazette Photo by Norm Hill Drinkhouse Dragon Cold Continued cold Sunday with partly cloudy skies through Monday.

A SMALL LOW pushed in from the Pacific Ocean Saturday, gaining strength as it rolled inland. The low frolicked across the state, salted the Big Sky Country with snow, bringing out legions of sledders, snowballers and snowmen builders.

HELENA (AP) A youthful Dick Dzivi of Great Falls Saturday was elected Senate majority leader by fellow Democrats, replacing 56-year-old Eugene Mahoney of Thompson Falls who did not run for reelection. In an across-town caucus, House Democrats named Bill Christiansen of Hardin, a 56-year-old auto dealer, to the post of minority leader, ousting former House leader John Hall, a 40-year-old bachelor attorney from Great Falls.

Other Democrats named to leadership posts in a 2-part caucus were: William F. Hafferman, 62, Libby, Senate pro tern. Elmer Flynn, 51, Missoula, Senate whip. Stanley R. Nees, 67, Poplar, chairman of the Committee on Committees.

William Groff of Victor and Carroll Graham of Lodge Grass were named to serve with Nees on the committee. Walter F. Marshall of Helena, Senate secretary. Shell Hellsey of Helena, chaplain. Others trying for the influential position included Graham, David James of Joplin, Hafferman, John Sheehy of Billings, Gordon McGowan of Highwood and Cornie Thiessen of Lambert.

Dzivi was first elected to the Montana Senate in 1966, one of the youngest state senators in the 1967 session.

(AP) -Two psychiatrists who say they've undertaken the first scientific study of love report lovers really do hear music that isn't there. Dr. Randall Weingarten and Dr. Richard Almong of Stanford Medical School say people in love have sharpened senses, expanded interests and gain new dimensions to their thinking, feeling and behavior. "Your life becomes crystallized when you're in love," said Weingarten in an interview Friday.

The total state budget for intercollegiate athletics was supplied by the presidents and business managers of the six schools. The schools expect to spend the following amounts during the 1970-71 school year: University of Montana, Missoula, $551,787.

THE STATE will contribute about $654,000 this year toward the cost of intercollegiate athletics, or about 43 per cent of the total. Not that much actually comes out of the state treasury, however. About $130,000 of that total is for fee waivers for athletes money that is just never collected.

Most of the remainder of the state total is for coaches' salaries and to pay student athletes on work scholarships. I.
