COUNTERING U.S. RAIDS
Missiles Used In N. Vietnam (N Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SAIGON, July 13. The North Vietnamese sent up missile-firing MiG2l jet fighters and launched at least seven surface-to-air missiles in a futile attempt to counter a 101-mission raid by United States planes striking at vital rail lines connecting Hanoi and China, United States military spokesmen said yesterday. The spokesmen said all of the missiles—air-to-air as well as ground-to-air—missed their marks in the near-record raids on Monday. One American airplane was shot down by conventional groundfire.
