S-' i fr-. SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese paratroopers drove to the southwestern edge of Quang Tri City today in a lightning assault against North Vietnamese troops manning defensive strongpoints, military sources said. Several hundred troops with U.S.

Beginning this month, the Oakland Redevelopment Agency win receive the grant, some $555,096 more than was guaranteed the dty for the fiscal year now underway by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Planning is farthest the way for the four block Chinatown project located between 9th and 11th Streets, Broadway and Webster across from Victorian Row and the proposed $150 million rebuilding of the citys core. Funds for the first year will permit the purchase of the building on the northeast corner of the first block bounded by 9th and 10th, Broadway and Franklin Streets.

Funds will also pay for related re-newal activities including planning, property appraisals and relocation. A public meeting will be held by the Oakland Chinese Redevelopment Advisory Committee in the Chinese" Community Center on July 23 to discuss preliminary renewal plans for the Chinatown project. The estimated cost of developing low and moderate income housing and a commercial-retail complex on the four blocks is about $8 million. Renewal for North Oakland Is planned for. the Stanford-Adeline area.

Redevelopment Agency officials, said consideration is being given to replace ing a blighted dwelling and several industrial structures with new residential units. Other'- severely deteriorated industrial structures would be removed from the residential neighborhood and replaced by new housing and open space. A yet-to-be selected project area committee, made up of neighborhood residents, will work closely with the Oakland Redevelopment5 Agency to determine the density and desirable types of housing developments.

Police theorize that Sanders fired once at whoever shot him. A neighbor reported hearing several shots. FREMONT The director of the California Department of Health Care.

Services has placed the responsibility for any life-or-death decisions in, two convalescent hospitals at the door of those hospitals and their physicians. Yesterday, Murray R. Rose 1 administrator of Fremont and Parkmont Convalescent Hospitals and president. of the California Nursing Homes Association, accused the state of being responsible for the deaths of two elderly patients by ordering a halt to their special care. Rosenblum assarted that patients Bill Villoria, 73, and Sarah Lambert, 65, who died on June 28 and 24 respectively, had been denied the special care and oxygen doctors had deemed necessary for their survival.

But Dwight M. Geduldig, director of the health care services department in Sacramento, who supervises six regional offices, told The Tribune in reply that the depart-ment grants administrative exceptions to new allotment regulations if the attending physician and the department physician agree that special care is vital. Noting the possibility of poor communications, misunderstanding, or both, in the cases of Mr. Villoria and Mrs. Lambert, Geduldig emphasized that if an attending physician is convinced that his patient needs care beyond Medi-Cal regulations allow, he can seek a special con-; sultation with a department physician in Sacramento and obtain an exception.

The state would then pay for such extra care, Geduldig said. Referring to the case of Mrs. Lambert, Geduldig said: It seems odd that the attend-, ing physician should write letter to our department seeking continued Linde Walker oxygen therapy, instead of calling Sacramento. Dr. Wayne Mall, an internist who attended to both Mr.

Villoria and Mrs. Lambert, said he called the Oakland office of the department about the problem and they told me they couldnt do anything unless my request was in writing. Thats when I wrote them. -Yesterday, administrator Byron Moss of the Oakland regional of health care services said he did not recall the Lambert case. Dr.

Mall feels the problem lies in lack of communications between Medi-Cal physicians and Medi-Cal administrators. The doctors should tell the administrators what oxygen therapy means, Dr. Mall said.

At nightfall, the South Vietnamese were reported occupying positions about half a mile from the center of the provincial capital which the North Vietnamese captured May 1. Government spokesmen in Saigon claimed the recapture of two district headquarters: Mai Linh, 1.2 -miles southeast of Quang Tri, and Hai Lang, six miles southeast of capital.

It was the first recapture of any of the 14 district towns lost to the North Vietnamese in their three-month-old offensive. The marines on the eastern flank of the Saigon drive to recapture Quang Tri were reported within four miles of the city, and marine officers said their men could be in Quang Tri tomorrow if ordered to go. However, there were signs of stiffening North Vietnamese resistance around the town. commanders reported encountering the first bunkers of what was believed to be a heavy of fortifications. Spokesmen in Saigon said 93 North Vietnamese were killed In the fighting today, 59 in clashes with the marines and 34 in a battle with the paratroopers.

Air strikes accounted for many of the dead. The enemy appears to be pulling back, but were encountering resistance from nearly every treeline, every village, said an American adviser, Capt Gail Furrow, 32, of Urbana, Ohio. So far its been relatively light. I expected them to make a bigger stand, but its tough for them to fight out here in the open. Weve got air support; they dont But if they decided to put all their people in Quang Tri and stand and fight, its going to be rough.

The lead battalion of paratroopers fought its first sizable battle yesterday, taking on an estimated North Vietnamese battalion in a bunker line at La Vang. Furrow said the South Vietnamese killed 23 enemy, captured eight trucks and recaptured one 105mm howitzer and two 155mm howitzers the North Vietnamese had been using. U.S. jets knocked out two 130mm artillery pieces and five trucks on the western flank of the advance. Furrow said his troops 'had See Back Page, Col.1 Demo Credentials Go Before Appeals Court Xii cricket; it plight even be dirty pool, but is it unconstitutional? His answer was that there was no clear constitutional principle involved.

Humphrey welcomed Harts ruling, and said the convention floor is the proper place to resolve the dispute. He predicted that a safe margin will uphold the committee vote at the Miami Beach convention next week. If the ruling is sustained, he said, we would have a good chance to get the nomination. But it was McGovern whp was about to get the endorsement of labor leader Jerry Wurf, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes. Wurf had endorsed Sen.

Edmund S. Mustde of Maine early in the campaign, but was preparing to withdraw that today and throw his support to McGovern. Twenty-five AFSCME members from 13 states are convention delegates and may follow Wurfs guidance.

Thrill Kill' LOS ANGELES (AP) -Three young men were arrested early today in the joy kfll-ing of a four-year-old girl hit by a shotgun blast while playing in a front yard. The men, all from suburban Norwalk, were booked for investigation of murder in the apparently motiveless slaying of Joyce Ann Huff of Hawaiian Gardens; They were identified as Donald Paul Antel, 21, Michael Ramirez, 18, and Oscar Hernandez, 22. None offered resistance, deputies said. Neighbors said a yellow 1966 car carrying three or four young men pulled to a stop Sunday where Joyce was playing in the yard of a.

A deputy at the scene called it a joy killing. Sheriff Peter Pitchess called the murder wanton and; appealed to citizens for help in tracking the assailants. Ramirez and Antel were arrested at the latters home, deputies said. Hernandez was arrested a short time later at his home, where a car matching the description of the assailants vehicle was found, deputies added. The girls step-father, Le-land Woods, 61, said, I saw the car go by from the window, but I couldnt see very good because I didn4 have my glasses But a neighbor told me she saw this man stick his arm and gun out the car window and shoot my little girl.

I ran outside and wiped the blood off her forehead. I knew she was dying. Charlene Bricker, the neighbor whose daughter was playing with Joyce at the time, said, I thought it was a firecracker. But Joyce grabbed her forehead with both her hands, and she was crying and yelling. My husband ran out and lifted her face up, then all we seen was blood.

Daley and 58 of his allies to upset a committee vote depriving them of seats as convention delegates.

The Illinois vote gave McGovern at least 41 supporters among the challengers seated by the committee in place of the Daley contingent. McGovern forces first sought a compromise in the Illinois dispute, but after the California upset, they stood firmly against Daley. Supporters of Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey initiated the challenge to the winner-take-all aspect of Californias primary, and Humphrey picked up most of the delegates taken from McGovern and apportioned among all who ran in that state.

1 To Unite SEOUL (AP) South and North Korea announced to their surprised citizens today they have agreed in high-level secret meetings to set up machinery to work for of the long-divided peninsula. Simultaneous announcements in Seoul, the South Korean capital, and Pyongyang, capital of Communist North Korea, said a new accord provides for a telephone hotline between the two cities to prevent accidental war and for a joint political committee to open exchanges in many fields and to promote unification of North and through peaceful means without outside interference. The two governments also agreed to refrain from armed provocations and from slandering or defaming each other and to avoid accidental military incidents. TTw agreements were reached at meetings in Pyongyang May 2-5 and Seoul May 29-June The top leaders, South Korean President Chung Hee Park arid North Korean Premier and Communist party chief Kim Sung participated in the talks in their respective 'capitals, the announcement said. It was the first such contact reported between North and South Korea since before the 1950-53 Korean war that took 2 million lives, including 54,246 Americans fighting for the South.

The three-year conflict ended in an armistice July 28, 1953, and the two Koreas are still officially at war, with even mail exchange cut off. Korea, a Japanese colony from 1910 through World War II, was divided into U.S. and Soviet occupation zones after the defeat of Japan. The zones became separate republics in 1948. Vile- South Korean negotiator in the talks was Lee Hu-' rak, director of the central intelligence agency.

WASHINGTON (AP) -Democratic factions fighting over the partys presidential nomination today urged the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Credentials Committee decisions drastically altering the makeup of California and Illinois delegations to the national convention. The attorneys fighting the committee actions argued their case during a rare holiday session to appeal a decision by District Judge George L. Hart that the federal judiciary should stay out of the debate. Harts decision came in these cases: The move by George McGovern's camp to overturn the Credentials Committee vote stripping him of more than 150 California delegates.

Are people getting better jobs for their certificates rather than how good they really are? The paradox here is that! in cash terms, a degree still may not beworth the effort.

Spassky lodged -a formal protest objecting that Fischer, the American challenger, has violated the-rules of the match by failing to appear for its scheduled start on Sunday. The world champion told Max Euwe, president of the World Chess Federation, that his decision to allow a postponement in Fischers favor was unacceptable.

Taking it another step, there is hardly any evidence that people who go to college do any better in the same kinds of jobs as people who dont go to college.

College graduates usually are more adept verbally rind if thats important to a job it -can-be considered. But there are often other considerations that are more important.

The problem is that people havent learned to measure them very well, and its easier just to use a degree as a screening device.
