California Task Force Pulls Back to the Edge of Quang Tri City By ARTHUR HIGBEE SAIGON (UPI)-A 1.000-m South Vietnamese task force that moved into battered Quang Tri city last week withdrew to edge of town today and allied officers said they expect a fight before recapturing, the provincial capital from the Communists. The South Vietnamese said last 'Friday that, governnment had occupied two-thirds of the city and the only major obstacle was the capture of the walled, 19lh century citadel near the However, center allied of the oficers city. said today the North Vietnamese defenders have received reinforcements and are prepared to fight for the city. "Quang Tri is going to be very hard to take.

The bunker complexes are unbelieveable," U.S. adviser told UPI correspondent Barney Seibert. "They are determined to hold Quang Tri. There is at least a battalion (about 500 men) in there." Far to the south, U. S.

Brig. Gen. Richard J. Tallman and three other Americans were killed by a North Vietnamese artillery shell near An Loc, a provincial capital 60 miles north of Saigon that has been under siege since soon after the current Communist offensive started on March 30. Two other Americans were injured.

Tallman, 47, of Honesdale, and his party had just stepped out of their helicopter when a shell hit nearby. They jumped into a bunker, then climbed out again and were running for a command post 100 yards away when a second shell exploded In their midst. President Nguyen Van Thieu landed in the same spot two days ngo during an inspection tour but no artillery shells came within 400 yards of the Thieu party. Tallman was deputy commander of the 3rd Regional Assistance Command operating in the An Loc area. He was the father of seven childrren and had been stationed in Vietnam for one year.

At least nine U. S. generals, one admrr.iral and five South Vieetnamese generals have been killed in the Vietnam war. U. S.

Navy officials, said an American destroyer sank three barges Sunday that were unloading a Chinese freighter off the coast of North Vietnam. The freighter was not fired upon. The 7th Fleet said the incident occurred 33 miles northeast of Dong Hoi, Elsewhere over the North, U. S. fighter bombers knocked out 28 water supply craft.

American planes-flew more than 300 sorties over the North in the period ending at 5 p.m. Sunday. Fierce fighting was reported on the outskirts of Quang Tri city earlier in the day but no casualty reports were released. A South Vietnamese force started moving into Quang Tri late last month lo try to recapture the province. It is the only province ever taken by the Communist! and Thieu has promised to push the Communists back into North Vietnam.

Only light resistance was reported early in. the drive. Some officers feared the major North Vietnamese 'force outflanked the advancing government troops and was preparing for an attack on Hue, the former imperial capital south of Quang Tri. American advisers, however, said the Communists are well dug in in Quang Tri and aris expected to put up a fight. South Vietnamese reconnaissance patrols were still inside the city but most buildinngj had been leveled.

"I saw only one building standing," an American adviser said. "Apparently the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) looted the homes, because house we went into had all drawers pulled out, papers rifled, clothing pulled out of drawers and thrown about." Slowdown of V. S. Withdrawals Told SAIGON (UPI) The U.S. command ordered another slowdown i the rate of U.S.

withdrawals from Vietnam last week, cutting the rolls by only 500 i military spokesmen said today. U.S. Army strength, in fact, rose by 100 in the seven days that ended last Thursday, spokesmen said. It was believed to be the first increase in the number of soldiers in Vietnam since the beginning of 1971. Army spokesmen, said the increase in Army strength likely occurred because of a "bureaucratic in the withdrawal program.

The ninth phase of U.S. pullouts began last week and officers apparently had not had time to prclgram any withdrawals during' that time, one spokesman said. This caused 100 more soldiers to enter Vietnam than left after finishing their one-year tours. The number of U.S. Marines based in South i a dropped by 100 and Air Force strength fell 500, the command said.

Military sources said almost all of the 600 servicemen withdrawn from Vietnam were merely shifted to Thailand from where they will continue flying warplanes in Indochina The command said that U.S strength dropped from 48,000 to 47.500 last week. Thai officials said that ai least 49,000 U.S. servicemen are stationed in Thailand. Another 10,000 Americans in Guam participate directly in the Vietnam air war, and there are 42,000 sailors with the U.S. 7th Fleet in the Tonkin Gulf.

The command has until the end of August to mee President Nixon's newest order to bring U.S. troop 'strength in Vietnam below 39,000. There are no known ceilings on the be based fh Thailand, Guam or number, of Americans that can in the South China Sea. As of last Thursday, spokes men said, there were U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam along with 2,200 sailors, 1,300 Marines, 12,600 Air Force men and 100 members of the Coast Guard.
