SAIGON, Swth.VJet Nam (AP) - T*e United Sates' new-est weapon of war in Viet Nam la t mechanical nonpar that swiabes across the Plain of Heeds with a mighty roar.

Tba military call tt a "Navy patrol air cushion vehicle." The bulky, SUbot-ioog vehicle looks like a huge inflated rubber din* Shy with a steel wheelhouse.

The virtue of this new weap­on, now being tested in the Mek­ong Delta south of Saigon, is its ability to skim across the sur­face of water or of relatively flat land at speeds up to 65 miles an hour.

In the new case Justice John M. Harlan wrote a dissenting opinion in which Justices Potter Stewart and Byron White joined.

In. the interim—on Jan. 25, ldte-the Supreme Court had decided the severance pay case, and the Circuit Court held Walk­er could not bring his suit until:

—He had exhausted the ad-ministrative remedies provided for in the collective bargaining agreement covering his job.

—He had filed a petition for a review with the National Rail­road Adjustment Board in the event he did not succeed under procedures established by the contract.
