By K. C. THALER LONDON UPI — The mounting intensity of the Vietnam fighting in recent weeks has ■et off speculation that Hanoi may be out to cut off the two northern provinces of Quant Tri and Thau Thien. This ambitious plan is one of tha possibilities seen behind the Communist concentrations in tha Demilitarized Zone.
Another theory advanced by European observers of the Vietnam military scene suggests that Communists may aim at severing the country across the Pleiku-Kontum region of the Central Highlands. Another line of speculation does not rule out altogether Hanoi plans for a Dien Bien Phu type of action, on a center like Quang Tri City.
These are conclusions reached from latest happenings on the Vietnam battle fronts. They are among latest attempts to assess the master plan behind Hanoi’s present and long-term strategy. This in turn stems from an altogether unpredictable guerrilla mentality, developed over 20 years of fighting in varying degrees of jungle intensity.
■ But whatever the specific immediate goals, the Communists’ i latest activities are seen to reflect a stepped-up determination to achieve a major, if not spectacular success now. I This straining for a major success could, in the view of observers, be prompted by growing fear that the fortunes of the war are swinging against the Communists.
The regime of President Ho Chi Minh may be pushing the current fierce campaign, anticipating that a further American buildup would render success less likely. Seen from this distance Hanoi appears to be battling for time, banking largely on political pressures within the United States and outside to come to its aid and finish the job which its arms cannot achieve. Hanoi has recently asked Russia for more and more sophisticated weapons which Moscow has undertaken to supply, to prevent—as Communist diplomats in London put it—Amer-
Some observers, suggest that behind the Communists’ apparent latest push for a spectacular success may in fact lie the hope that it could provide Hanoi with an important bargaining point in eventual peace talks.
Chicago Police Head To Retire CHICAGO UPI—Orlando W. Wilson, the professor who took over the Chicago police depart-
ment after a wave of scandals and made it one of the nation’s most outstanding police forces, will retire Aug. 1, Mayor Richard J. Daley announced Monday. The announcement came as both Daley and Wilson celebrated their birthdays—Daley’s 65th and Wilson’s 67th. Daley, who brought Wilson here to clean up one of the worst scandals ever to scar Chicago’s image, said Wilson would go on furlough as police superintendent July 1 and would not return to the job. Deputy Supt. James B. Conlisk, one of the officers Wilson kept from the old regime when
the cleanup campaign started seven years ago, will be acting superintendent until a successor is named, Daley said.
