Saigon Highway Blocked By GEORGE ESPER SAIGON (AP) Fighting erupted along Highway 13 today, blocking traffic less than, 20 miles north of Saigon while B52 bombers launched their heaviest raids in the Saigon area since the 1968 Communist Tet offensive. A Saigon command spokesman, Lt. Col. Le Trung Hien, said the highway had not been cut, but traffic was suspended all day due to the fighting. He said the action occurred between the provincial capital of Phu Cuong, 13 miles north of Saigon and the district town of Ben Cat, 28 miles north of the capital.
Hien said 19 enemy were killed and three prisoners captured in one clash while one government soldier was wounded. Results were inconclusive in two other fights, (he added. The B52 raids were ordered by the U.S. commander, Gen. Frederick C.
Weyand, who is reported to believe the Communists plan a wave of attacks in the Saigon region aimed at discrediting President Nixon before the Nov. 7 election. With battlefield action generally light in the northernmost quarter of South Vietnam, Weyand decided to shift the thrust of the B52 strikes from that region to the Saigon area, sources said. Also, the monsoons have begun to prevail in the north while the south is entering the dry season. In the air war, U.S.
fighterbombers, including the F111 swing wing jets, carried out more than 300 strikes Thursday across North Vietnam, the U.S. command said. An F4 Phantom escort shot down a Soviet-built MIG21 about 50 miles northeast of Haiphong, the Air Force said. The kill was credited to Capt. Richard E.
Coe, 26, of Apple Valley, and 1st Lt. Omri K. Webb 3rd, of Leesville, S.C. The Command announced that a Phantom returning from mission over North Vietnam crashed in Laos this morning. The two crewmen bailed out and were rescued.
One suffered broken arm, a spokesman said. North Vietnamese and Viet Cong attacks have increased in the Saigon region during the past week, but most of them have been light and there have been no major battles. In Cambodia, government reinforcements sent up Highway 5 to aid embattled soldiers the provincial capital of Kampong Chhnang were cut off today when Communist troops blew up three bridges behind them, according to reports reaching Phnom Penh. Sources said a column of undetermined size from Phnom Penh never reached its objective but was isolated along a five-mile stretch of road 35 miles northwest of the Cambodian capital. Alaska's coastline is 6,640 miles long.
