If that li so, it would follow the pattern of 1970, when Nixon bought time for his Vietnamiza-tio- n program by supporting invasion of the Cambxlian sanctuaries and cleaning up the massive supply stocks laid in are warplanes there to support Communist troops that threatened Saigon. Even the most optimistic U.S. officers here acknowledge that air power alone cannot stop the North Vietnamese forever either on the battlefields of the south or along the roadways of the north. In the long run that does not augur well for the South Vietnamese, even if they are saved this summer. The current U.S. strategy One prong here is is the Navy's closure of North Vietnam's ports with mines and a naval blockade. d. Air Force Campaign The other is the U.S. Air Force campaign against rail ways, highways, fuel dumps and supply warehouses inside North Vietnam, to prevent both imports via China and shipment to the battlefronts. So far ho Russian ships have tried to run the blockade, but U.S. officials have left vague the question of whether they intend to seek a confrontation if they should. The Air Force showed some gleaming new teeth in this inten-uonal- ly in the form of campaign, electronically guided "smart" bombs. d These bombs, 2,000 and blockbusters, are steered to their targets by guidance packages that either home in on a laser beam focused on the impact point from a plane, or on a television-lik- e image locked into the steering system before the weapons are dropped. They have enabled the Air Force in its first week of action on the railways to drop at least six bridge-span- s that for the most part eluded the "dumb" 3,000-poun- bombs that were dropped during the 1965-6- 8 "Operation Rolling Thunder" air war. One bridge, at Thanh Hoa, cost the Air Force 60 planes in that campaign. This time it was dropped with a single raid. Substantial Spans "These are bridges which you just can't rebuild in one day," says a very military source here. "They are substantial spans that will require a great deal of effort to put back up ... then we can wait until they rebuild it, and we'll drop it out again." The Air Force also is going after two items in particular that it considers critical to the current offensive in the south-f- uel supplies and spare parts for vehicles. Fuel is particularly important because, unlike ammunition, it is so bulky that the vast quantities required for the tank-lemodern army the North Vietnamese have fielded simply can't be hidden in jungle depots. d, Military sources say spare parts depots also have been a prime target. While it is extremely difficult to destroy either a &ik or a truck with the ordinary hard bombs the I Air Firce uses, enough damage can be done with a near miss tok l lu--Stil- V Have Option The sources acknowledge that L with its railways gone and its! ports even Dartlv closed. theL-- i North Vietnamese still wilir""' have the option of turning their highways.

That, they say, will leave the truck fleet thinly spread on both ends of the line north Hanoi and south as well.

By 1916 the required service period of 25 years had run out for all three pieces and Barber was well into completing a new device for the first issue of subsidiary coinage. But ominous war clouds in 1915 changed an established pattern. A hastily "competition"' organized brought several design suggestions to the Treasury, and without so much as a to the engraver, devices for the new dime, were quarter and half-dolla- 20th-centur- y half-dolla- r I -- ltllMS 2 .J rfa-- k m3 J,i' & WALL UNITS WEE I" CROUP,(50.o8o, ?I Oils en canvas, nony subjects,' ""' " " " ffc7 ka M9 Oils en canvas, asserted Value. jecls.
