Warns Hanoi On DMZ Arms Build-up In DMZ FROM PAGE ONE munists, field reports said, but heavy North Vietnamese shelling was under way along Highway 9 to the west. The U.S. Command said the air strike in Laos was made by 20 F-4 Phantoms. All the planes returned safe, the a d. said.

It did not report the results of the raid. The command said the new SAM site was found by reconnaissance planes in the lower Laotian panhandle one mile west of the North Vietnamese -border and one mile northwest of the DMZ. South Vietnamese headquar- ten reported that enemy 152-. mm. guns, with a range of 16 miles, opened fire from the DMZ on one of Saigon's bases at Dong Ha, 11 miles south of the buffer zone.

Forty shells hit the base, killing and wounding several Couth Vietnamese soldiers. It was the first reported artillery attack from the DMZ in several months. But U.S. gun- ners have been firing at targets in the southern half of the zone all along. One source, reporting on the enemy build-up in the zone, said, "Sightings of enemy activ- ity are up 50 per cent over February." These include troop -movements, trucks, bunkers and mortar positions." The source said that 90 per cent of these sightings had been in the eastern half of the 40-mile-long zone, which extends from the Laotian border to the coast.

About 50 per cent of the sightings were in the southern half of the zone, the source con- tinued, and "we have taken under attack with artillery 40 per cent of the targets in the southern half, compared with about 35 per cent in February." He said he knew of no artillery attacks in the northern sector, which is North Vietnam's. Empty Threats NEWARK, March 26 (AP) State police have been leaving driverless marked patrol vehicles parked strategically along highways in an effort to make drivers ease up on the accelerator.

AN APPARENT ROBBERY victim and an armed youth were wounded seriously last night at the home of Morris Heisler, 77, of 1234 Waldron University City. Mrs. Mary Heisler told police that her husband answered a knock at the door and was confronted by two youths, one armed with a shotgun, the other displaying a pistol. Mrs. Heisler said she did not hear what was said before Heisler was shot in the chest by the youth with the pistol.

Heisler raised an arm and struck the shotgun, which discharged. The youth who had shot Heisler was struck in the head by shotgun pellets. The second youth dropped the shotgun and fled. The wounded youth was booked at St Louis County Hospital as Clarence Dinkins, 18, of the 6900 block of Corbitt Avenue, University City. Police said he had an arrest record.

Heisler is in serious condition at County Hospital. TWO TAVERNS were held up last night and early today, apparently by the same four men, police reported. One of the robbers was armed with a sawed-off shotgun. About 11:30 p.m., the robbers entered a tavern at 4353 Gibson Avenue and demanded money from the barmaid, Dorothy Zimmerman. The robbers took $80 from the cash register and $37 from four customers.

At 1 a.m.,, four men accosted Fryday Sansone in his tavern at 3724 Union Boulevard and took and undetermined amount of money from the cash register. Four customers were robbed of $269. By WILLIAM BEECHER 111. Kaw Tare Tlma Neara Serrioa WASHINGTON, March 26 The Department of Defense issued a veiled, warning yesterday that air strikes might be ordered if North Vietnamese artillery rockets were fired from new positions within the Demilitarized Zone. Jerry W.

Friedheim, deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, raised this prospect in i i the movement of the North Vietnamese weapons into the zone in recent weeks. Other sources said that several battalions of long-range artillery and rockets, involving dozens of weapons, had been dug into positions at several points in the northern half of the six-mile-wide buffer zone between North and South Vietnam, most of them near the Laos border. From such forward sites, the sources said, the weapons could fire at Allied positions in the northwest corner of South Vietnam. Friedheim recalled that on several occasions Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird had said that it was his "responsi bility to recommend whatever protective reaction steps prove most feasible to protect Allied and U.S.

forces." The term protective reaction is used by the Pentagon to de-scribe, among other things, bombing of North Vietnamese antiaircraft guns and missiles launchers that have i at American reconnaissance planes. Friedheim would not say whether the Administration regarded the new development as a violation of the understanding under which regular American air raids on North Vietnam were halted on Nov. 1, 1968, in return for a promise that the DMZ would not be used by military forces. Hanoi has denied any such understanding. Although there have been reports of placement of rockets and artillery in the DMZ since the bombing was halted, Pentagon officials said, this is considered by far the largest such deployment.

Friedheim said the weapons were moved in shortly before the South Vietnamese invasion of Laos Feb. 8. North Vietnam, he suggested, might have been planning an offensive in northern South Vietnam in the spring and might have wanted to move artillery forward to support its troops. Or, Friedheim said, North Vietnam, aware of rumors of a drive into Laos, might have wanted artillery in position to strike the support elements. Or, he continued, Hanoi, concerned about rumors of apossible thrust into North Vietnam, might have moved artillery into position to resist it.

Officials said they could not be sure whether the deployment was tactical and would be of limited duration or whether Hanoi had decided to move large numbers of weapons and combat troops into the DMZ. At the time of the bombing halt, Johnson administration officials said that the raids were being called off on the understanding that Hanoi would gotiate substantively in Paris, would not use the DMZ for military purposes, 1 not fire rockets at the cities of South Vietnam and would not fire at unarmed American reconnaissance planes.

There also would be a group representing gover a 1 agencies that would check on the movement of prices, salaries, and dividends in the construction industry, he said. Hodgson said the plan in-eludes enforcement mechanisms. He envisaged the Federal Government using its procurement policies so as to avoid placing orders in areas of the industry that appeared to be exceeding wage and price stabilization policies. Seized Envoy In Good Health, Letter Reports MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, March 26 (AP) The Tupama-ro guerrillas issued yesterday a statement attributed to i d-naped British Ambassador Geoffrey Jackson in which he said his health was good and his morale was high.

Jackson was kidnaped Jan. 8 near the British Embassy. The statement was the first word from him. It was in the form of a letter to his wife, Evelin, who is in London, and was broadcast by Montevideo radio stations, which received it anonymously. The Tupamaros published two photographs said to be of Jack son.

They apparently were tak en in his cell in a so-called peo ple jail. They show him witha beard, reading a book. Interior Minister Santiago de Brum Carbajal announced yes terday that a special commis sion had been named to purge Tupamaro guerrilla infiltrators from government ranks.

(AP) Dr. William D. Coolidge, 97-year-old world famous scientist, was honored at the Schenectady Museum when an exhibit of X-ray tubes he pioneered was opened. Using his discovery of ductile tungsten and applying it to the X-ray, he achieved the "Cool idge Tube" and the modern era of X-ray science. His discover ies enabled dentists to have a portable X-ray device and led to the development of X-ray tubes that would handle over a million volts and be used to treat cancer.

The scientist retired from the General Electric research labo ratory in 1940 but remains as a special consultant on X-rays and director emeritus of the laboratory. Four-Day Week Spreads To Campus URBANA, (AP) Wednesday has been "canceled" at Urbana College, but not due to lack of interest By a near-unanimous vote of the faculty, the small liberal arts college with 650 students has decided to give students and professors a free day in the middle of the week for meetings, seminars, independent study projects or field trips. "This is not meant as a day for goofing off, but as an oppor-t i and incentive for students and faculty alike to take part in meaningful educational experiences spokesman said. ST.
