Guard Uses Ads to Recruit Negroes Associated Fresi Stocks Hit New High The stock market today churned to another new recovery high on fairly active trading although the pace slowed from the heavy volume of the past two days. Strength in a number of Blue Chips carried the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its highest level since late April of 1966. Advances and declines were about even, however. The market opened a bit higher, dipped around midday, and then pushed higher in late trading despite profit taking. The Dow Industrials closed at 933.48 for a gain of 4.04 from yesterday's close and a new recovery high.

But the Pentagon is withholding action on these requests until the New Jersey project can be evaluated, probably in mid-December. President Johnson's National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, created to investigate this Summer's big-city riots, reported Aug. 10 that only 1.15 percent of the nation's 404,996 Army guardsmen are Negroes.

The Air Guard figure is even lower 0.6 percent of 77,078 men. GUARD Page 13 WASHINGTON The Pentagon has ordered a crash advertising campaign, complete with rock 'n' roll radio commercials and full color billboards, in an effort to pep up a program to recruit more Negroes into the National Guard. The 90-day advertising blitz will zero in on Negro neighborhoods in New Jersey. That state was selected as the testing ground Jor what may become a nationwide drive to increase Negro membership in the Guard a move recommended recently by a presidential panel. Fifty-one Negroes have been accepted and another 134 have applied in the month since the Pentagon slashed red tap and granted the New 1967, Globe Newspaper Co.

The eruption of fighting in the delta paralleled continued heavy Communist pressure along South Vietnam's northern rim where artillery and mortar' duels spanned the Demilitarized Zone and high-flying B52 bombers drubbed suspected Red staging areas with tons of bombs.

Rusk told a news conference that "so far as I know, the situation has not changed since my last press conference about a week ago."

Doria is creeping slowly By CARL YASTRZEMSKI Copyright, 1867, Globe Newspaper Co. People ask me what do I think of the Red Sox this year as compared to the teams of the past. My answer is that we've always had good hitters since I've been here, but we've never had the all-around ball player who could produce defensively as well as offensively. This is what makes the Red Sox such a good ball team right now. Just for example, you have George Scott.

Scott, if need be, could be moved to third base right now and do a fine job, or in the outfield if need be. Joe Foy can play almost any infield position and can play the outfield as well. Reggie Smith can play any position in the outfield and, as you remember, he started off the season at second base for us. This is why I think the Red Sox are so successful this year and will be successful in the future. The ballplayers the Red Sox put on the field today all eight of them can hit, run, throw and catch the ball.

They can play all aspects of the game. YAZ Page 45 Sox vs. Orioles Here Tonight Despite earlier reports to the contrary, tonight's Red Sox-Baltimore game at Fenway Park will not be televised. "An erroneous release was made about tentative plans for it," said WHDH-TV director Bob Cheyne, "but this game was never scheduled for viewing. The Red Sox will make an announcement this week-end about a new TV schedule for next week, however." Minnesota, tied for the American League lead with Boston, opens its big three-game series at fourth-place Chicago tonight, Dean Chance pitching against Joe (No-Hit) Horlen.

Detroit, one game behind the leaders, hosts Washington. Doria Churning Seas Off Cape With heavy weather again limiting missions over North Vietnam, U.S. fighter-bombers also concentrated on the DMZ battlefront where all signs point to a powerful Red buildup. The guerrilla battalion engaged in the Mekong delta was a companion unit to the hard-core 514th Battalion which lost 134 dead in the same area only two days before. That outfit had gone into battle with new green fatigues and jaunty red scarves indicating its elite status.

The battle today began shortly after dawn as a battalion of the U.S. 9th Infantry Division disembarked from gunboats that pushed up the Bach Ba river, which flows sluggishly into the Mekong. As the infantrymen hit the beach they were struck by fire from machine guns and recoilless rifles. The Navy gunboats opened up with cannon and mortar fire. A second American battalion moved up in support and a third battalion swept into blocking positions just to the north, putting some 2,000 Americans on the battlefield.

Jet planes from bases barely 10 minutes away began to rake the guerrilla battalion with bombs and rockets, churning the delta mud and ripping apart the bamboo stands where the Reds sought cover.
