Some Civilian Areas Damaged WASHINGTON UPI — The Defense Department has conceded that U. S. bombers are causing some civilian damage in North Vietnam, but it is not specifying whether populous areas of Hanoi have been hit. In a statement late Monday, the Pentagon reiterated that the “United States policy is to target North Vietnamese military targets only,” but it added that “it is impossible to avoid all damage to civilian areas.” Such civilian damage was especially hard to avoid when the “North Vietnamese deliberately emplace their air defense sites, their dispersed (POL) petroleum, oil and lubricants sites, their radar and other military facilities in populated areas, and indeed sometimes, on the roofs of government buildings,” the statement said.

—Talks Delayed ily physician, said Manchester’s resistance to illness had been impaired recently, probably because of worrying about Mrs. Kennedy’s lawsuit. “The pressure lowers his resistance so he catches things more easily,” the doctor said. “He has been very depressed.” Tracy called an ambulance for Manchester early Monday morning when the author’s temperature rose to 104 degrees. The illness was later diagnosed as pneumonia of the lower left lung. Under antibiotic treatment, his temperature returned to normal during the day. “Being on critical helps keep him isolated,” the doctor explained. He said Manchester should be able to do some work next week. Apparently confident her presence would not be required in the continuing negotiations with Harper & Row, Mrs. Kennedy and her two children Monday night flew to Antigua in the British West Indies for a two-week vacation. A nursemaid, a Secret Service agent and a child identified as C. Nelson also went along.

—Yank$ Battle | Cong Threaten To Hit Thailand

The U.S. defenders, after temporarily losing radio contact, succeeded in driving the North Vietnamese back with the help of tactical air strikes naval artillery and troop reinforcements who arrived by helicopter.

-Capitol Penalty state trooper by a fugitive. Other lawmakers said they would favor repeal of capital punishment only if "life sentences” meant that. “Mandatory life without parole,” “repeal capital punishment only if properly drawn for life sentencing and only if safeguards are included for officers of the law,” and “repeal capital punishment only if a life sentence meted out for a capital crime is made just that— a life sentence with no parole” were some comments. Some suggested that life sentences be manatory life terms, but that the existing authority of the governor to use executive clemency be exerted to free those lifers considered able to return to society. The question of whether or not to repeal capital punishment was not a political one. Democrats for and against repeal and Republicans for and against had almost exactly the same ratio.

TOKYO UPI—The Viet Cong today threatened smashing retaliation against Thailand if it continues to support the United States in Vietnam. There are 33,000 U.S. troops and several air bases in Thailand. The warning by the South Vietnamese Liberation Front charged the United States was “actively transforming Thailand into a base for expanding the war in Southeast Asia.” It said if Thailand continued its “collusion wtih the U.S. imperialists” the South Vietna-

mese people “will take necessary measures to return well deserved counter blows.” The Viet Cong threat, broadcast by Radio Hanoi and monitored here, referred to a report by a U.S. television company that all American planes engaged in daily raids of North Vietnam had flown from five bases in Thailand. Although bordered mostly by Laos on the east, several sections of Thailand are within 100 miles of North Vietnam.
