American helicopter crews today airlifted a battalion of joperation, also pounded the Vietnamese headquarters at Ham Ngai near Khe Sanh. The U.S.

command said 65 Soviet-made rockets and Chin manufactured artillery shells hit the base at Khe Sanh Friday night and 30 more today. Several Americans were wounded and a huge gasoline tank set on fire, military spokesmen said. Armadas of U.S. helicopters use Khe Sanh, 12 miles from the Laotian border, as a major drop in lifting battle- weary South Vietnamese troops out of the six week old Laotian campaign. The U.S.

helicopters have brought thousands of South Vietnamese out of Laos in the past few days and less than 15,000 Saigon troops were left there down from 24.000 at the peak of the operation which began Feb. 8 in an effort to cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the primary Communist supply line into South Vietnam and Cambo dia.

According to tlie calendar, spring is due to arrive at 1:38 a.m.

EST Sunday but a gloomy bulletin from National Weather Service said, "Spring will come eventually" but not for the next few days or so. Meanwhile, the new snow brought with it a rash of motor vehicle accidents throughout the county although no serious personal injuries were reported by police agencies. It brought traffic tieups, power failures in the Ulster Landing-West Camp area. Cablcvision outages in the City of Kingston and surrounding areas and it brought down trees and tree limbs in the city enough to keep a tree crew busy all night and into today. Superintendent of Public Works, Charles Cole said the storm took his department by surprise because two weather advisories earlier yesterday predicted no more than three inches of snow followed by a DPW crews were therefore prepared for salting but not for plowing.

Nevertheless almost all streets of the city were cleared by this morning with the exception of a few hilly side streets which were expected to be cleaned up by 10 a.m. today- Cole added that he was short handed due to illness of several workers. Weight of snow on tree branches caused a number of trees to fall, with one on Fair Street crushing a parked car belonging to District Attorney Francis J. Vogt and blocking traffic. Tree crews were kept busy hour on hour picking up broken limbs strewn in streets throughout the city.

One thousand Central Hudson Gas and Electric Company customers were affected by the power shortage which began at 3:45 a. power was restored 8:30 a.m. The area affected was bounded on the south by Ulster Landing and on the north by Saugerties, Malden and Giasco. Cable vision users lost their television pictures from about midnight when electrical power failures In Port Ewen affected Cablcvision's transmitting station. The storm brought mixed reactions today.

Photographers called it picture perfect, skiiers and snowmobilers were delighted while still others wielded shovels, pouted about canceled plans and cursed out the wily month of March for her wintery tricks. While the heaviest accumuin tion of snow was experienced in the Upper Hudson Valley all Eastern New York was buried with up to one foot of the white stuff. The snow made driving hazardous on the Thruway from Westchester to Syra cuse although the road re mained open. One fatality north of Ithaca was blamed on wet roads. The storm passed snowfall marks Friday at Syracuse and Albany, two areas already bothered by unusually severe winters.

By 9 p.m. the 2.1 inches at Syracuse set a record yearly total of 147.3 inches. The previous record was 146.8 inches. Four inches of new snow fell at Albany in six hours, breaking the 100-inch total for the season, the second highest amount of record. A half dozen flights were delayed or canceled at Albany County Airport although the facility remained technically open.

Heavy snow warnings were posted for northern Maine and New Hampshire. Central and southern Wiscon sin also began digging out of from as much as 16 inches of snow which fell Thursday. At Madison, slugged by 14 inches of snow overnight, fans attending the state basketball tournament sought refuge from the storm in motel lobbies, gymnasiums and even the po lice station. 600 Persons Feared Dead in Peruvian Landslide Rescue workers take a body out of a mining camp at Chungar, Peru, about 55 miles north of the capital city of Lima after the camp was destroyed by a landslide. Officials feared the death toll may exceed 600 of the 1,000 persons at the camp.

A spokesman said the disaster occurred about 9 a. m. hursday when the rains dumped a hiHside into Lake Yanahuin about 100 miles north of the mine site, forcing lake v.nters out of their banks and burying the camp under tons of water.
