Cites Costs Of Owning Auto More Naval Vessels Also Are En Route WASHINGTON (AP) The States is sending some additional war planes to Asia, a Pentagon I man said today.

Without going into detail, spokesman Jerry W. told newsmen there would 'ame additional augmentation of land-based air con- I tinning a U. S. buildup to try and repel a North Vietnamese invasion of South Vietnam. Sources indicated the new air reinforcements will come from United States.

Increases Total This will raise the number of Air Force, Navy and Maline fighter-bombers and bombers sent to South Vietnam, Thailand and Guam since early April to around 300 and will bring total LLS. land-based and I carrier-based strike planes in the theater to more than 800. Friedheim noted some additional naval vessels are en route, indicating new depar- lures of warships for Southeast Asian aters are planned Disclosure of the additional reinforcements came shortly after the breakdown of re! slimed peace negotiations in Paris, a diplomatic development which suggested the United States might accelerate he air war against North Vietnam once again. However, Friedheim characterized the air reinforcements las part of overall plan to make sure Gen. (Creighton I Abrams has available to him all the air and naval assets he needs to protect remaining American troops to assist the South to repel the ofi'ensiv e.

President Nixon has declared his intention to do everything necessary, except use nuclear -weapons and reintroduce U.S. ground troops, to defeat the North Vietnamese invasion. Announcement of the air retr forcemeats ame during a new battlefield crisis in South Vietnam which developed within the past week. The provincial capital of Quang Tri fell and a major threat developed to Hue farther South. The arrival of a fifth aircraft carriers off Vietnam this week, along with escorting destroyers, brought the number of Ameri(an naval vessels operating in those waters to about BO, at least equalling the number that were there at the Vietnam War peak in 19B8.

Friedheim said that on some days allied aircraft have flown upwards of attack sorties, principally in South Vietnam. In the April 29 May 3 period, he said, I S. planes flew more than SOO strike sorties against targets in North Vietnam. A sortie is a single flight by a single plane. Friedheim confirmed that a huge transport plane had armed in Danang carrying three M4S medium tanks to replace some of South tank losses in the battle around Quang Tri.

The tanks came from U.S stocks in the Pacific, he said. Reports reaching the Pentagon have said that the South ietnamese IB cif their own tanks and spiked 3ft artillery pieces before retreating from Quang Tri. During the same briefing, Friedheim displayed pictures of a variety of heavy Soviet-built weapons which ho said have shown up in South Vietnam for the first time this year and are main elements in the North Vietnamese invasion force. nun Highest Reading NEW YORK highest temperature reported Wednesday by the National Weather excluding Alaska and Hawaii was 102 degrees at Buckeye, Ariz. low 24 ai Evanston, Wyo.
