fire started from an incendiary SAIGON (LTD -Terrorists hurled hand grenades into a Saturday night crowd of off-dutp Gl's and their Vietnamese companions at the "take ten" noncommissioned officers club in Da Nans- Twelve persons, including eight Americans, were injured. Guards immediately opened fire on the terrorists, wounding one and capturing him along with another suspect. A military spokesman said the two walked pasl the club in downtown Dan Nang at about 10:30 p.m. as it was doing a heavy weekend business and tossed five shrapnel grenades through the door into a hallway. All five exploded, shattering glass and spraying metal fragments through the wall as the Gl's and their girl friends dived under tables.

One of the injured Americans was in serious condition. Officials also reported several scattered shooting incidents at the Da Nang air base about two miles away as the Viet Cong probed for soft spots in the base's defenses. ICxpect Cong Attacks Officers have warned that the Communists, defeated in the field, could be expected to press hit-and-run raids against key U.S. strongholds. Their efforts to disrupt the forthcoming elections depend largely on their ability to display their strength to the Vietnamese either through terrorism or audacious raids in populated areas.

Elsewhere, U.S. jets launched another day of maximum effort raids Friday against North Viet Nam and pounded a string of seven oil storage depots in the nation's southern panhandle. Bad weather kept the raiders away from industrial areas farther north, but in 113 missions they bombed bridges, supply dumps and truck parks along infiltration routes into the south.

Turkey (UPI) -New tremors Saturday iris-gered terror among 'stunned survivors of the massive earthquake Friday in which the Turkish radio said the death toll is expected to exceed 3,000.

The five-minute earthquako wiped about a score of mountain villages off the map and laid waste to four provinces in eastern Turkey. Government officials directing relief and rescue operations in the hil regions near the Soviet frontier said they believed the radio estimate would be about right. The officials said the latest figures showed at least 1.487 dead and more than l.soo iniurcd. But the government-controlled rari'o predicted at least that many more bodies would be found.

I Worst Yet To Come In High Food Prices WASHINGTON (UPI) Chair man Allen J.

However, he added, "I would! much rather see price rcgula-j tion than for the government to! discover suddenly that the inflationary wave had begun to1 run away from us and that it was too late to act to control it" Ellender said in a recorded' broadcast for Louisiana stations that "past experience h3s proved price regulation is I extremely expensive and diffi-1 cult to administer fairly." Even if Congress were to vote standby control authority, he said. "I would favor implement-' ing it only if the rapid upward trend continues and then only' as a last resort." He said he shared the "growing sfentiment in congress that the current inflationary trend has now become one of the most dangerous threats facing the nation." He said the latest increase in interest rates by many finan-' cial institutions "will be reflected in higher costs generally throughout the economy land) will rebound to the detriment of all our consumers, particularly! those with fixed incomes."
