Massive Military Offensive
In South Viet Nam
j Comes to a Halt
SAIGON, Viot Nam (.Ti — A
massive South Vietnamese military
operation in the swampy southern
regions ground to a halt prema
turely Thursday. Apparently re
sults were not as good as expected.
The operation began 15 days
ago in the mangrove swamps of
I Ca Man Peninsula. Plans provided
for 4,000 troops backed by fighter
aircraft, U.S. helicopters a n d
armored naval craft to move in a
diamond pattern seeking out Com
munist Viet Cong guerrilla posi
tions. Only two sides of the dia
mond had been completed when
the operation halted.
American military sources said
the major assault, the first into a
Communist -controlled region,
weakened guerrilla communications
and decimated their supply lines.
“They'll take a long time to re
cover from this,” one American
adviser said, pointing out that the
large ammunition caches found by
the government would take the
Viet Cong a long time to replace.
However, as the days rolled by
the major goal of the operation—
the killing of Viet Cong guerrillas
—failed to materialize. American
sources put the dead at about 220.
Known guerrilla forces in the area
are estimated at about 4,000.

Animals Pave Way
In Escape Capsules
For Bomber Crews
By Elton Fay
WASHINGTON iiP — B-58
bomber crews are just going to
have to rely on the testimony of
bears and chimpanzees that their
escape capsules will work at faster
than-sound speed.
In answering questions, the Ait
Force said a warrant officer had
made a test of the escape device
at a speed below the supersonic
mark, but that there are no imme
diate plans for human tests above
that speed.
Animals have been ejected from
B-58s at supersonic speed, which
is more than 760 miles an hour
at low altitude, more than 660 at
high altitude.
The Air Force only recently be
gan installing the escape devices
in planes coming off the produc
tion line of the Convair Division
of General Dynamics Corp. The
first installation was made in the
97th of the B-58 series. Total pro
duction, scheduled to end during
the next several months, wall
amount to only about 120 aircraft.
It is possible, a spokesman said,
that the escape capsules may be
built into B-58s already produced
and in operation. In this case, there
would be time to arrange a test
of the capsule’s performance at
supersonic speed by a man.
But the spokesman said the Air
Force is convinced, on the basis
of tests made, that the device will
function properly.
The Air Force points to two bears
and a chimpanzee, alive and unin
jured, as proof. The animals were
used because they structually re
semble man in weight, size and
other features.
They w'ere blown out of B-58s,
riding capsules, at speeds ranging
from 870 to 1,060 miles an hour,
and at altitudes ranging from low
level up to 45,000 feet.
The problem of escape from
damaged aircraft sharpened critic
ally with the advent of aircraft
flying at high speeds. Without pro
tection, skin could be ripped from
a man as he emerged from a cock
pit into the blast of air.
