Enemy Force Seeks to Cut Key Highway SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese forces battled a North Vietnamese battalion of 200 to 300 troops today that outflanked the forces closing in on Quang Tri City.

The fighting was just south of the My Chanh defense line, about 10 miles south of Quang Tri and 20 miles above Hue. The attack threatened Highway 1, less than a mile to the west. The South Vietnamese turned their tank guns on the North Vietnamese force, and U.S. F4 Phantoms swooped down with bombs. The North Vietnamese slammed mortars into the South Vietnamese infantrymen, i Regiment Moves In Col.

Le Ba Khien, a South Vietnamese regimental commander, said he believed an entire North Vietnamese regiment numbering up to 1,000 troops had moved south below My Chanh in an attempt to cut the north-south Highway behind the task force at Quang Tri. In Quang Tri, meanwhile, South Vietnamese paratroopers advanced to within 50 yards of the Citadel despite a counterattack by North Vietnamese infantry and tanks.

The three jets were on a night bombing mission support ing the South Vietnamese offensive, and one of their own bombs apparently exploded prematurely, the command said.

SEATTLE (AP) State Labor Council President Joe Davis says a decision by the executive council of the AFL-CIO not to endorse a presidential candidate will have little effect in Washington state.

Vote Delayed on War-End WASHINGTON (AP) Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, said Wednesday with secret Vietnam peace talks how under way, he will hold off pushing for a Senate vote on his end-the-war amendment.

He said that since Henry A. Kissinger, President Nixons security affairs aide, is meeting in Paris with North Vietnamese negotiators, he was willing to wait a couple of days to give Mr. Kissinger an opportunity to work out a satisfactory agreement. A negotiated settlement on the war if possible would be the most satisfactory conclusion, Mansfield said. He said Kissinger should be given all possible flexibility.

But Mansfeld said that if nothing conclusive is forthcoming, he will press ahead with efforts to win approval of his amendment to a foreign aid authorization bill. The bill, as approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee includes Mansfields amendment, but action on the measure has been stalled since early last month by senators seeking to delete or modify it. The amendment provides for withdrawal of U.S. ground forces from South Vietnam by Aug. 31, without any conditions, and a halt to all U.S.

military operations in Indochina once North Vietnam agrees to a cease-fire and the release of American prisoners of war. Because of the lapse of time since it was first brought before the Senate, Mansfield now has proposed to change the date for a pull-out from South Vietnam to Oct. 1. A more sweeping amendment was proposed Wednesday by Sen. John Sherman Cooper, R-Ky.

It calls for withdrawal of all U.S. military forces in Indochina within four months if no negotiated settlement is reached, even if American POWs have not been released.

At Randalstown in County Tacoma Taxes Fiscal Units TACOMA, Wash. (AP) The City Council Tuesday imposed one-quarter per cent tax on Tacoma banks and other financial institutions. The one-quarter per cent tax rate is half that paid by other local firms in the same taxing category.

Should those groups ask the council for the lower rate and receive it or fight the matter in court and win the city could stand to lose nearly $345,000 in revenue, Tax and License Director David McLennan warned in a report to the council. In his report, which traced the history of the bank-tax question back to 1970, McLennan noted that banks had seemed agreeable to a one-half per cent tax in 1970 when the council talked about imposing a one per cent tax. The half cent tax was adopted by the council, but later overturned by a court that held that state law did not permit taxing banks. The legislature passed a law allowing such a tax at its last session. Materials PRE-HUNG DOORS GRADE A $1375 OLYMPIC STAIN $4.95 Gal.
