About half the beef Australia exports already comes to U.S.

consumers. But now that President Nixon has lifted quota restrictions, Australia may attempt to boost U.S. sales in hopes of getting a larger permanent share when quotas are re-imposed. In other words, according to the source, Australia would like to set a precedent this year to help build a case for a larger normal quota later on when controls resume. When he suspended quota restrictions June 26, Nixon said the open door would apply only for the balance of 1972.

The action was taken to make more meat available to American consumers at a time when U.S. beef cattle are at record high prices. Asked about the possibility of Australia increasing beef exports to the United States by paring shipments to other countries, an Australian trade representative would say only it was a possibility. The Australian Meat Board, which oversees shipments to the country's world markets, is scheduled to meet later this month to discuss the opened U.S. market and the supply of export meat Australia is ex-" pected to have available during the balance of the year.

Meantime, the Agriculture Department expects to have a new estimate soon on the total meat expected to be imported. Donald M. Rubel, assistant administrator for commodity programs in the Foreign Agricultural Service of USDA, said the provision in the 1964 meat quota law which requires quarterly estimates still applies. The law which prescribes quotas for fresh, frozen or chilled beef, veal, mutton and goat, reguires the secretary of agriculture to estimate every three months the amount of such meat expected to be imported during the entire calendar year. That estimate, for the third quarter, was due by July 1.

Rubel said he did not know exactly when it would be stood in a banana grove splashed with blood from wounded North Vietnamese soldiers who had retreated during the night. More than a score of B52 bombers streaked across the demilitarized zone to attack rear North Vietnamese bases that U.S. officers say are supporting the Communist forces in Quang Tri. The Saigon command said in a communique that South Vietnamese marines rescued 800 refugees two miles east of Quang Tri City and moved them south to My Chanh. By midmorning, mortars were still exploding on the South Vietnamese front lines.

"Just keep pumping it in there, just keep them coming into that area," Capt. Gail Furrow, 32, of Urbana, Ohio, shouted into his radio as he directed U.S. fighter-bombers to the North Vietnamese mortar positions. Furrow is an adviser with one of the South Vietnamese airborne battalions. "We're still taking 82mm mortar from that location," Furrow radioed as he stood on the clapboard wall of what was once an American barracks.

He ent Holger Jensen reported that South Vietnamese tanks knocked out two Soviet-built PT76 light amphibious tanks used by the North Vietnamese and a paratrooper knocked out a third with a hand-fired antitank missile. The other tanks fled into heavy thickets. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported that South Vietnamese paratroopers captured three prisoners, one of them seriously wounded, and overran a North Vietnamese field hospital stocked with medical supplies.

A huge American air and naval armada covered the advancing South Vietnamese. South Vietnamese marines were closing in on the city from the east. One task force was reported to have advanced half a mile to the eastern outskirts and was a little more than a mile east of the Citadel, at the center of the city.

A second marine task force made a helicopter landing 2k miles southeast of the city. Lt. Col. Do Viet, a spokesman for the Saigon command, said that elements of a South Vietnamese paratroop battalion backed by tanks had pushed into the northern part of Quang Tri a few hours before dawn. "They are right next to the Citadel," he said.

Viet reported that resistance appeared to be light; although the forwardmost troops of the battalion were shelled by 107mm rockets and long-range 130mm guns. "We control at least two-thirds of the city," Viet told newsmen. Heavier fighting was reported on the southern and eastern fringes of the city. Viet reported 58 North Vietnamese killed and eight tanks destroyed on the outskirts. Paratroopers on the southern side battled heavy counterattacks Thursday night from North Vietnamese forces making a stand in a line of old French villas.

Scores of U.S. Navy jets from 7th Fleet carriers off the coast scrambled into the night skies to attack the North Vietnamese, their tanks, artillery and automatic weapons. It was the first stiff resistance the South Vietnamese paratroopers have encountered since they began tightening their grip on the southern edges of the city three days ago. Associated Press correspond- At the request of the Food and Drug Administration, NAS studied 420 OTC drugs as part of an effectiveness review of about 3,000 prescription drugs. "The 27 products are broadly representative of cold preparations on the market since most are similar in composition to the drugs studied," the FDA said in releasing the data.

About 25 per cent of the OTC-drug claims were judged effective, compared with about 60 per cent of the prescription-drug claims rated effective or probably effective. WASHINGTON (AP) The National Academy of Sciences accepts less than 10 per cent of effectiveness claims made for a representative sampling of 27 nonprescription cold remedies. Among popular over-the-counter (OTC) compounds rated ineffective in a report released today is Coricidin cold tablets, manufactured by Schering Corp. of Bloomfield, N.J. Contac sustained-release capsules, made by Menley James Laboratories of Philadelphia, were judged possibly effective, meaning there is no evidence that they work 12 hours against cold congestion.

Among 45 effectiveness claims for the cold remedies evaluated, the academy's National Research Council judged four as effective, eight ineffective as fixed combinations, five effective with reservations, 15 possibly effective and 13 probably effective. Rated effective without reservation were Isophrin nose drops for nasal congestion; Fedrazil for hay fever; and Chlorephrine Nyscaps for hay-fever nasal congestion and as a time-release capsule. a near-polar orbit 564 miles above the earth.
