believed to involve virtually all North Vietnamese troops in the Plain of Jars area began early Saturday morning with simultaneous attacks against Thai and Laotian positions yesterday afternoon North Vietnamese infantrymen had seized three helicopter pads along Skyline Ridge a 1500-foot-high natural barrier that forms the northern defenses of Long Cheng Thirty North Vietnamese were killed and three captured when they were ambushed as they tried to sweep down the southern slopes of Skyline Ridge into Long Cheng valley the sources said During the weekend the US Command raised its total of air attacks on North Vietnam this year to the 100 mark The US Command said the 100th attack on antiaircraft defenses In the North was made last night by a Navy A6 fighter-bomber that attacked a radar site about 35 miles north of the DMZ The command said the radar was tracking US bombers raiding the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos Results of the strike yere not known IF THE present rate of attack on North Vietnam is maintained there will be more than 450 this year Last year there were 120 And one attack now can consist of strikes by anywhere from one plane to hundreds of them More than 50 other US warplanes attacked North Vietnamese troops for 24-hours from noon Saturday until noon yesterday to make possible the successful helicopter rescue of three downed airmen from the Ho Chi Minh Trail

PUBLIC WORKS Director Jack Graham said housing officials cannot cope at present with substandard housing that Is not bad enough to warrant being torn down "At present we are already in the loan business We can demolish a house that is beyond repair and then slap a lien on the property owner for the cost" Graham said City Manager Rodger Line told Kemble he didn't believe the new policy would get the city "swamped with requests from people for loans to repair their houses" Kemble said it might if the interest rate were right "I CAN'T VOTE for anything that will put us in the repair sines Kemble said The council agreed to consider any requests initiated by citizens for home repairs on an assessment basis a policy that has always been in effect But Gandy said the City Council will never receive any such requests because building officials don't know about the policy and they will go strictly by what is in the housing standards ordinance Line said that without the new policy a separate city ordinance will have to be passed every time the council reaches a decision to repair a deteriorated building on an assessment basis Kemble said that such action is so important that a new ordinance should be adopted each time it ISWELERti ON FLOOR ITURK BURNETT SIDG 502 MAIN STRUT FORT WORTH TEXA5 71102 vitt 'itgATryit )0I SOK BURNETT SIDG 502 MAIN SIMI WORK TEXA5 71102 A
