Running Battle
(N.Z Press Assn—Copyright) SAIGON, June 24.

Five United states battalions drove into the jungles in an effort to trap the enemy force and annihilate it. On Thursday, a North Vietnamese turn-coat officer directed United States artillery and air strikes against his former comrades and helped give the coup de grace to a shattered enemy battalion.
