The attack had been expected late last month or this week, but new intelligence information reaching here Saturday indicated the attack may come before July 20 and possibly on July 15. ous condition.

Halfway to their destination, they were stopped by South Vietnamese militia guards who advised them to turnback. A few miles along on their return trip, they ran into the ambush.

M. for his questions: I will enter college this fall and would like to be a writer. What advice can you give me? A. The financial and prestige payoffs of the writing field are legend, but its a tough one to crack. However, one relatively new area of specialization where employers welcome writers with open arms and which offers far-reading opportunities is TECHNICAL WRITING.

THE HOW AND WHY OF IT. Technical communication, which includes writing, editing and illustrating, has been picking up speed since World War II with the increase of technological advances in such industries as electronics, missilery, nuclear energy and aerospace. The need for written descriptions of fantastic 20th Century developments has created a demand for writers who can present complex information in a simple, clear way. Theyre the COMMUNICATIONS BRIDGE between discoverers and users of information. QUALIFICATIONS.

Technical communicators share curiosity about all phases of technology. have done well in math and science. their thoughts explicitly. work cooperatively with others. Typically, the bachlors degree is the minimum entrance requirement, along with courses in scientific and technical subjects and writing.

Rarely is the communicator expected to be a scientist or engineer. JOBSCOPE. Since news of significant discoveries is flashed round the world through the tech writers skill, opportunities exist everywhere. Industry is a prime source; so are the more than 300 technical writing jobshops, free lancing and the U. S.

Government. A search of want ads in metropolitan dailes and technical magazines should unearth leads for beginners, or you might consult COLLEGE PLACEMENT ANNUAL, (found in libraries and college placement offices) for a geographical list of possible employers. EARNINGS. Demand will continue to be related to research and development expenditures. Private industry hired beginners in 1967 at salaries ranging from $5 to $7,000.

Experienced communicators with supervisory duties earned $20,000 or more. Expect overtime and deadline pressures. GROUND FLOOR OPPORTUNITY. Gene Winn, Chief of Technical Data at McDonnell-Douglas Corporation, St. Louis, says: technical writing offers interest and challenge for people with technical backgrounds who possess the ability to think and express themselves.
