DeLury had been fined and jailed under provisions of a state law barring strikes by public Lindsay also ordered the temporary transfer of 3,000 city employes, chiefly laborers and truck drivers, to emergency sanitation duty.

But their union leaders said they had directed them not to scab. Lindsay, vowing to fight lawlessness with every lawful resource, had ordered the sanitation workers to end their week-long strike at 7 a.m. today. The hour passed, the workers did not return and Lindsay made his appeal to Rockefeller. With the reeking mounds of garbage steadily mounting today, the mayor issued a statement saying: At some time, some place, all citizens of New York City reach a point beyond which they refuse to be pushed.

In that crisis, they find their ultimate level of resistance. New York City itself has arrived at that crucial stage Wednesday night, Lindsay had said the central issue in this reprehensible strike is whether New York City can be blackjacked into awarding exorbitant contract demands to a union simply be-, cause that union is willing to break the law, threaten the health, safety and welfare of tight million people and disgrace an entire city The city will not submit.

Of about 400 South Vietnamese and Montagnard irregulars in the camp, some 25 wounded were lifted to safety by U.S. helicopters along with the U.S. troops.

Nearly 150 more irregulars made it to the Khe Sanh base durirg the night or today, leaving about 225 dead or missing. Survivors reported that after a heavy artillery bombardment Tuesday night, the camp was hit on two sides by North Vietnamese tanks being used in the war for the first time, while foot troops came in between them. The battle ended quickly, but eight of the Americans retreated into the headquarters bunker under three feet of reinforced concrete and two feet of steel. The North Vietnamese hurled small explosive satchel charges and tear gas and imtendi-ary grenades down the air shafts. The satchel charges did little damage, and the Americans donned their gas masks and put out the fire.

Meanwhile, they called in air strike after air strike on the North Vietnamese above. After 18 hours of siege, six of the eight Americans were wounded and the group decided to break for freedom. While U.S. planes roared down in dummy runs, those who could run picked up the others and broke from the bunker.
