A top U.S. Special Forces commander in nearby Kontum said the approximately 2,000 North Vietnamese surrounding Ben Het for the past 52 days had accomplished nothing, nothing, nothing and called the siege a stupid move. There was no letup in the Communist bombardment of the camp, UPI correspondent David Lamb reported. At least 75 arti'lery, mortar and rocket rounds slammed into tire post.

CAPE KENNEDY. FLA. The five finalists (AP) have been selected. Today the judges pick th? winner. The title Is astromonk and the prize is a y space trip. The five candidates are male pigtail monkeys. They were chosen last week from. a field of more than 20 who started competition several months ago. Late today, project scientists will pick the one most qualified to ride a rocket into space Saturday night on a flight intended more medical to provide information than all 20 U.S. e flights to date. The mission will help determine if man can stay in space for extended periods in earth-orbstations or on trips to the planets. We dont want to knock down the possibility of long commented space flignts, Dr. W. Ross Adey, experiment coordinator of the Brain Research Laboratory at the University of California at Los Angeles. We want to learn what environmental support man requires to remain in space for a year or more. Does he, for example, it ? i need artificial gravity? The monkey selected will be with heavily instrumented painless sensors to monitor brain waves, heart, blood circulation and respiiation. The major goal of the test is to determine how he is affected by long exposure to weightless- ness. He will be called upon to perform certain button pushing tasks. If he does them correctly, he will be rewarded with food pellets. The competition is tough. They are very evenly matched," Adey told a news conference Thursday. Well look at the general behavior of the five, and take a detailed look at their urine and blood samples and general condition of their instrumentation. In all there are about 300 parameters well be looking at. Adey said the four primates left behind will be used as control subjects, undergoing the same tests as their orbiting companion. Because of the sensors implanted in the brain, heait and other parts of the body, this experiment Adey said, is going to yield more medical data than all the American- - v h manned combined. flights This animal will be very heavily instrumented in a way we could not instrument a man."
