The fighting between elements of the U.S. 25th Infantry division and an estimated 400 North Vietnamese troops sur prised an American Ranger patrol in the Renegade Woods, 44 miles northwest of Saigon. Sources said two rangers were killed, and seven were wounded. An infantry company moved into the area three miles from the frontier to relieve the patrol and was hit by heavy rifle and machine gun fire. The Americans, reinforced by more ground troops, helicopter gunships and fighter-bombers, battled the enemy for about nine hours and reported killing 3 North Vietnamese soldiers. Korea Denounces Japanese Hijackers TOKYO With a Japanese official and three crewmen as hostages, nine hijackers finally steered an airliner to North Korea yesterday, and the Pyongyang regime denounced the whole affair as a plot. The Japanese hijackers liberated 103 persons who had spent more than three days in the plane aground in South Korea while the slow-motion seizure proceeded. A North Korean broadcast said the Japan Air Lines Boeing 727 landed in North Korea "without prior notice and our consent"—and without any guarantees by the Pyongyang government for its safety. The broadcast accused the Japanese of a subtle plot "to create the impression that we want to take in the so-called Trotskyites or criminals" meaning the hijackers, who reportedly want to orchestrate a world revolution from Pyongyang. W. Germany Demands Diplomat's Safety GUATEMALA West Germany and Guatemala clasned yesterday on what to do about a kidnapped West German diplomat. The \Vest German government in Bonn declared the Guatemalan government should give in to the demands for the ambassador's safety.

Not long afterward, Bonn was advised by its embassy here that the kidnappers had raised their demands to freedom for about nine hours and reported killing three North Vietna mese soldiers. The Nation Nixon tirges,Postage Stamp Increase WASHINGTON President Nixon urged yesterday quick action by Congress to raise the pay of all federal workers and increase to 10 cents the cost of mailing a letter. Nixon. in a special message, said his plan would offset the cost of wage settlements through revenue increases that "will neither require extending the surtax or raising income tax rates." But, he said, further new and permanent revenue measures—not involving income taxes—will be needed by mid -1971. He did not specify what measures the administration would favor. Under an agreement reached Thursday by government and union negotiators, some 5.3 million federal civilian employes and military personnel would get a 6 per cent pay hike retroactive to Dec. 27, 1969. The agreement does not cov er about 600,000 federal blue-collar workers. Air Controllers Continue Sick Call WASHINGTON "We're sick," contended many air traf fic controllers yesterday as they ignored pledges by union leaders to get the men back and end a costly 10-day rebellion. Attorney F. Lee Bailey and top officials of the Pro fessional Air Traffic Controllers Organization PATCO scheduled a news conference to order the controllers back publicly in compliance with a court-directed agreement with the government. The Federal Aviation Administration reported no signifi cant back-to-work trend. "We see a slight over-all improve ment, but not enough to have much effect," a spokesman said.

Church, a Senate dove, was very outspoken against the slack in the Ken nedy Administration's Alliance for Pro gress.

Church is now the third ranking majority member of the Senate Interior Committee and is chairman of its Sub committee on Public Lands.

Senators Question Department's Failure To Investigate Carswell WASHINGTON (AP) Senators seeking to block the Supreme Court nomination of G. Harrold Carswell demanded yesterday that the Justice Department explain why it didn't pro duce "significant and easily discovered information bearing on , the nominee's fitness." In a letter to Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell, four senators said that in the past the FBI has been under instruc tions to investigate a federal judicial nominee's racial attitudes with par ticular care. Yet in the case of Carswell, they said, disclosures of a 1948 white supremacy speech and the Florida judge's participation in incorporating a segregated golf club were revealed by private citizens. Questions Asked? At the very least, said the- four, they wanted to know if Carswell had been asked the most elementary of questions: "Is there anything in your background . . . that might embarrass the President or militate against your appointment to the Supreme Court?"
