The delta battle coincided with more of the enemy artillery and rocket attacks which have become the prevailing pattern of the Vietnam war in re-cent weeks. Communist troops shelled a U.S. destroyer, killing two Americans and wounding three, made a bazooka attack on the U.S. Army headquarters just outside of Saigon, sank one cargo barge and set another afire, and ambushed an Army convoy.

The fighting in the delta broke out just before 8 a.m. as troops of the U.S. 9th Infantry Division and the 5th Vietnamese Marine battalion were being landed by Navy armored troop carriers for a sweep.

In New Hampshire, a candi date's name can't be posted on the presidential primary ballot without his consent.

In Wisconsin, his name can be entered by state commission and he must disclaim any. intention of run ning to get it off. Slate Of Delegates Sen. Thomas J. Mclntyre D- N.H., said in an interview Sun day that in line with the Presi dent's wishes, Johnson will not be entered in the popular vote contest but will be represented with a slate of Democratic Na tional Convention delegates.

"The President doesn want to disclose his intentions offi cially in March in a state where we have only about 85,000 registered Democrats," Mclntyre said. The public impact of New Hampshire's primary has al ways been out of proportion to the relatively small numbers of voters involved. When the late Sen. Estes Ke- fauver, trounced Presi dent Truman in the state's 1952 voting, Truman said presiden tial primaries were a lot of "eyewash." But he announced soon after that he wouldn't seek re-election. Kennedy Is 'Opponent' Mclntyre predicted that those ignoring the denials of Sen.

Rob ert F. Kennedy, that he has any intention of becoming a presidential candidate in 1968, will furnish most of the opposi tion to Johnson's Vietnam policy in the state's balloting. They may stage a write-in drive and enter delegate candidates fa vorable to Kennedy. He said he doubts that Sen. Eugene J.

McCarthy an avowed candidate for the Democratic nomination, will en ter the popularity contest, adding McCarthy is ftttle known in the state. If he does come in, Mclntyre or Gov. John W. King probably will run as a Johnson stand-in. Johnson, in a telephone speech to a six-state regional Democratic conference at Charleston, W.Va., promised Saturday to 0 the 1968 Democratic nominee.

But he did not say whether he plans to be come that nominee. Without mentioning names, he referred indirectly to McCarthy when he said: "I believe we already have several volunteers for next year's ticket.

This, he said, is a demanding necessity for peace. The Cyprus reply to Thant's appeal came a day after Greece and Turkey had accepted the proposals.

In a preliminary re ply Sunday night, Cyprus had said Thant's program was "particularly constructive" and had promised a more detailed reply within 12 hours. The Turkish reply to Thant's proposals expressed reservations over two sections that were dropped one calling for a broader for the U.N. Peace force in Cyrpus and one providing special, rights for the Turkish Cypriot minority. 1 nam said only that the U.N. force could play a broader role in keeping peace -and quiet on the island.

U.S. presidential envoy Cyrus Vance wound up his talks with Makarios in Nicosia Sunday without overcoming the Greek Orthodox archbishop's objections to those provisions and another one for disbanding the Greek Cypriot National Guard. Vance went to Athens and then left for Washington, saying he was "gratified that tension in the area had receded." His choice of words underlined that full agreement had not been reached. Makarios Is Pleased At the end of the 32-hour meeting in Nicosia, Makarios looked pleased, in marked contrast to Vance. He told newsmen: "1 don't think there is a crisis.

I mean there is no reason for it." As President Johnson's special envoy, Vance had helped Greece and Turkey reach their agreement on moves to prevent war between the two after the See PAGE 2, Column 1 I A SHOPPING I 11 DAYS LEFT 1 CHRISTMAS SEALS fight TB and 1 Other RESPIRATORY DISEASES everything from labor unions to The U.S. Command saia heavy contact continued throuehout the day and that the allied troops pushed the Com munists about 2'A miles nortn- ward.

CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 4 -For the first time in history a 21-star United States Flag was unfurled today commemorating Illinois' entry as the 21st state of the Union. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen hoisted the flag at 11 a.m.

in front of the National Capitol in Washington, B.C. Sen. Charles S. Percy headed the entire Illinois Congressional delegation as it witnessed the ceremony from the steps of the Capitol. The event was one of the first official observances of the Illinois' 150th birthday anniversary, which began at midnight Sunday, and signaled a full year of special events throughout the state saluting the Illinois Sesqui-centennial.

Illinois' entry as the 21st state was never recognized on the national banner although federal laws provided for its use on July 4, 1819, following the state's admission to the Union on Dec. 4, 1818.
