McGovern also had to decide on a new chairman for the Democratic National Com mittee, which holds a morning organizational meeting. While he has pressed Chairman Lawrence F.

By COLIN FROST Associated Press Writer BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Gun battles raged in the Roman Catholic districts of Belfast early today as the British army abandoned its "low profile" and launched a major offensive against guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army. "Shooting erupted in all of Bel Ast's major Catholic strongholds after three battalions of troops invaded the IRA "no go" district of Andersonstown to quell gunmen who had poured intensive fire at an army command post for four days.

It was the first time the army had entered one of the districts taken over by the IRA. In the past such areas have 'been off limits to prevent a confrontation with the guerrillas holding sway there. Protestant militants have been demanding for months that the army go into the no go rreas and clean out the IRA. he invasion of Andersonstown 1 will probably intensify the Protestants' demands that the army now go into the barricaded areas of Londonderry that are the most famous symbols of Catholic defiance, the Bogside and Greggan districts, or "Free Derry," as the IRA calls them. Army headquarters said about 700 men remained in control of Andersonstown early today but said it did not know how long they would stay there.

Two British troops and three civilians were known killed in the fighting during the night, raising the death toll to at least 15 since Wednesday and to at least 431 in the three years of communal violence in Northern Ireland.

A soldier was killed and anther wounded as the troops occupied the district, but other wise the task force met little resistance. The army said the IRA was taken by surprise. Andersonstown was quiet after the takeover, but violence immediately erupted in the Ar doyne, Falls Road, Bal lymurphy, New Lodge and Divis precincts, and in the city center.

Viet Targets SAIGON (AP) The U.S. Navy announced today the introduction of a new, one ton video bomb called "Fat Albort" into the air war against North Vietnam and termed it highly effective.

The weapon is an improved version of the "Walleye" television bomb and has been in use for the past month, the Navy said. Capt Marland W. Townsend, commanding officer of the carrier Kitty Hawk, said the first six Fat Alberts released scored direct hits against their targets and reduced the risk that American pilots would be hit by ground fire. Townsend said four bridges were downed and two military supply buildings were destroyed by the bombs. "You can't beat 100 per cent," he said.

The Fat Albert, named by fliers aboard the Kitty Hawk, is twice as powerful as the Walleye and has a television camera in the nose to direct the bomb to the target.
