The government appeared trying to choke off the dissidents rather than wipe them out in a direct attack. In "an attempt to exploit the turmoil, the Viet Cong's underground Liberation radio threw Communist support behind the rebels and urged all South Vietnamese troops to "rise up" against the government. Buddhist leaders in Saigon and the northern provinces sent pleas for intervention to end the civil strife to world leaders, but significantly the monks avoided any association with the Viet Cong overtures. The Buddhists also canceled all rallies today the impression that they might be in honor of North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minns 76th birthday today.

Both loyalist and antigovern-ment forces took casualties aa the eruption of fishing in Da Nang, South Viet Nam's second largest city, created the danger of a war within a war. The shooting came in two hour outbursts during the morning and in the afternoon as Ky's forces closed in on three Buddhist pagodas where an estimated 1,000 troops and Buddhists had collected in a three-block-square pocket of resistance. When the second round ended, a government loudspeaker truck toured the area calling on civilians to stay in their homes or leave under the protection of Ky's troops.

The government troops obviously were trying to hold down civilian casualties. A paratroop officer said eight of his men had been wounded but none killed. A Buddhist spokesman in Sai gon said 10 Buddhists had been killed, 54 wounded and 34 arrested.

Since going to Hau Nghia province, many of the birds have gone the way of all feath ered flesh into the pot or onto the grill. But eventually, even a sol dier accustomed to rations three times a day gets tired of barbecued chicken. They also get tired of eggs, especially when the eggs are laid in their sleeping bags, hats, steel helmets, Jeeps and offices. So the problem of how to rid themselves of a huge flock of chickens, while ridding them selves of Viet Cong snipers and mortars, fell to the men of the Headquarters Company.

Their problem was partially solved when they crated 49 of them and sent them to the vil lage chief. But still the chick ens were roosting in the tents, cackling in the Jeeps and in ral, raising a squawk among the troops. When the men started to move into wooden-frame tent kits with screen doors, they thought their chicken problems were over. The chickens could stay but not with them. However, the birds weren consulted on the arrangement and promptly moved into the newly constructed hooches.
