The U.S. command said the incident occurred suspected Communist troop emplacements. Communist gunners slammed five rockets into the city of Hue early today. UPI correspondent Barney Seibert said the attack, the fourth in as many days on Hue, wounded one South Vietnamese marine.

There were no reports of civilian casualties, presumably because hundreds of residents in the three-block residential section of the city where the shells landed fled two days ago. Ten miles west of Hue Tuesday, South Vietnamese troops backed by artillery and allied air strikes fought off a North Vietnamese attack and reported lulling 67 Communists. Government casualties were placed at two killed and 12 wounded. The command in a delayed report said two U.S. Air Force F4 Phantom jet fighter-bombers were shot about live miles southeast of the strategic provincial capital but had few other details.

It was the first such accident in the week-old government drive to retake Quang Tri Province, overrun by North Vietnamese troops a month after launching their offensive March 30. The accident married a massive air power mission involving 36 U.S. B52 bombers that dumped about 900 tons of explosives late Tuesday and early today on "Nice" Custom May Be Deadly THERE ARE a tot of young people on the road these summer days, a tot of teen-age boys and girls heading cross country. They thumb a ride and then another and another until they get to where they're going. Some of the girls don't ever make it to where they're going.

Some who do are raped along the way. The problem is two-edged: some of the hitchhikers, so young and innocent-looking, have larceny on their minds. The remedy is to crack down on hitchhiking to make it a sharply punished crime to solicit or offer a ride. Meanwhile, about all one can do is to urge caution. To girl hitchhikers, if you must thumb, travel in pairs.

To motorists, think twice before offering a ride. Hitchhiking may be a nice custom, but sometimes the outcome is deadly. Haysville Woman Holiday Death Toil Township Trustee Linus Jahn and his advisory board. Jefferson Township Trustee Oscar J. Miller and his advisory board reappointed Schnell.

County Farm Bureau Annual Picnic July 13 John D. Lawlor, executive vice president of the National Safety Council, today said the final traffic death toll for the Fourth of July holiday could fall far short of a pre-holiday estimate that between 800 and 900 persons would die. "We are very gratified that the figure is so low compared with the estimate we made," Lawlor said. "We hope that; this is an indication that the recent federal law having to do with control of the driver and improved roads and a safer automobile is taking effect.
