...America Response. Minutes after the attack started, nearly every American officer was either wounded or dead. Among the dead was the battalion commander, Lieut. Colonel Terry de la Mesa Allen Jr., 38, whose father had commanded the Big Red One in its World War II drive from Tunisia to Sicily. At a temporary base camp one mile away, the battalion operations officer heard the firefight and hesitated not a moment.

So it was not until two weeks ago, soon after United Auto Workers Boss Walter Reuther got in his last loud licks at a Detroit rally called to beef up the U.A.W.'s Ford strike fund, that the two sides declared a blackout on negotiation news.
