WASHINGTON UPI — The 35.000 soldiers and airmen the United States is bringing home from Europe next year stand an increased chance of fighting in Vietnam if the war goes on, Pentagon sources say. The fact that the units withdrawn from Europe will be held in reserve here will not prevent the replacement of individuals and their reassignment to the war front, according to the sources. U. S. officials, in announcing the withdrawal Tuesday, said 28.000 troops of the U.S. 24th Division in Bavaria would be returned, along with 7,000 airmen from Air Force units j'et to be selected. The Army withdrawal means two of the 24th’s three brigades will become reserve forces here, along with four of the nine U. S. fighter squadrons now in Germany. About 33,000 dependents of these men are also to be brought home. Volunteers or selected individuals have gone from service in Europe to Vietnam duty right along, but their numbers have been minimal. The final withdrawal figures arrived at in tripartite talks with West Germany and Britain were larger than the administration’s public announcements of recent weeks, and come somewhat closer to the “substantial reduction” some congressmen have been asking. Injuries Fatal To Ohio Woman Injuries suffered in a one-car accident on U. S. 40, near Mt. Meridian Monday afternoon, proved fatal to Mrs. Doris C. Brady, 52, Massilon, Ohio, Tuesday at Robert Long Hospital in Indianapolis. Her husband, Andrew J. Brady, 60, who was seriously injured in the accident, was reported in “poor” condition at the Putnam County Hospital this morning. The Ohio automobile was eastbound on 40 when Mrs. Brady lost control of the car on the rain slick pavement. It crossed the divider strip, went over an embankment and crashed into a tree. State police said it was more than an hour before they could extricate Mrs. Brady from the wreckage.

Group Arrested For Conspiracy SACRAMENTO, Calif. UPI —Members of the Black Panthers party, who stalked into the chambers of the state assembly armed to the teeth with loaded shotguns, rifles and pistols while lawmakers were in session-faced court arraignment today on charges of conspiracy. Twenty-four of the young Negro men-members of a militantly anti-white organization formed in the San Francisco Bay area - were charged with conspiracy to forcibly enter the chambers of the state legislature. About a dozen of the men, wearing black berets, black jackets and bandoliers of ammunition slung over their shoulders, forced their way past stunned sergeants-at-arms Tuesday and burst into the rear of the assembly chambers. Swiftly ejected from the chambers the Black Panthers, 24 men and five women, were detained briefly by state police in the capitol and arrested moments later by Sacramento police a few blocks from the building. The group said it came to the capital to protest proposed legislation which would outlaw the possession of a loaded weapor within a city.

SAIGON UPI — Elite North Vietnamese troops today coun-ter-attacked against U. S. Marines on the bloody slopes of Hill 881 which the Leathernecks had taken after three days’ fighting. The Communist hordes got to within handgrenade range before the Americans threw them back. But the battle was not over. Frontline reports said the fight for the hill’s strategic fortress peaks still raged just below the North-South Vietnamese border. The Communists charged out of the surrounding jungle at dawn and stormed up the mile and a half long ridge they evacuated Tuesday. With smaU arms fire and mortar shells bursting in their ranks the Leathernecks held their defense perimeter. At times there was face-to-face combat. The Communists lost a reported 725 men the past week in battling with the Marines who suffered 96 dead and 273 wounded. But the North Vietnamese came back strong — “newly equipped and well disciplined,” battlefront reports

said.

In other action today, U. S. Army and South Vietnamese troops killed 341 Communists in two fights, in the northern provinces near the old imperial city of Hue and in the Mekong Delta just below Saigon. American Infantrymen Tuesday killed 136 Communists in a Central Highlands battle near the Cambodian border. But the frontier formed the focal point for the war. U.
