Six other guerrillas were killed in the fighting with army rangers near Higueras in the southeast jungles, including three Cubans, the communique said. The body of the former chief lieutenant of Prime Minister Fidel Castro of Cuba was taken to the nearby town of Vallegrande, 300 miles southeast of La Paz, the communique added. View Body Gen. Alfredo Ovando Candia, commander in chief of the armed forces, and Gen. David Lafuente, commander of the army, flew to Vallegrande to view the body. Press reports from the scene said Guevara was shot near the heart and in the legs with ma- chine-gun fire. The battle broke out about four miles north of Higueras Sunday afternoon. It raged for five hours in the jungles. Guevara led the guerrilla forces in the Sierra Maestra mountains of-eastern Cuba in the Castro up- rising that led to the overthrow of President Fulgencio Batista in January of 1959. COMMITTEE HEARING: McNamara Testimony Denies Need To Bomb, Mine Haiphong WASHINGTON (M)--Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara's insistence that bombing or mining Haiphong, main supply port of North Vietnam, will not shorten the war or cut off enemy supplies was underlined in testiiony made public yesterday. McNamara made it clear that he plans to continue restricted bombing of North Vietnam. He testified Aug. 25 before the Senate preparedness, subcommit- tee and publication of his testi- mony follows that of several un- informed military chiefs urging the mining or bombing of Hai- phong. Earlier Excerpts The subcommittee earlier made public excerpts of McNamara's testimony which played down the importance of Haiphong, saying supplies could be brought in over the beach if it were knocked out. Both he and President Johnson insist that the differences be- tween the military and civilian chiefs on the question are slight. In the testimony made public yesterday, McNamara, in heated exchanges with members of the subcommittee, made a string of denials to senators' questions and suggestions.. No Loss Reduction It denied that heavier or earlier bombing attacks on the North would have reducediU.S. casual- ties in the sporadic but bitter ground war in the South. McNamara also agreed - that there has been no change in the basic bombing pattern, even though numerous targets have been authorized for first strikes rcently. He also denied that he is fol- lowing a "no-win policy" or that U.S. forces might as well "throw up their hands" and get out. But the Pentagon chief said he knows of no way to do this mili- tarily or politically. McNamara estimated that last year Russia supplied North Viet- nam with about $60 million in aid while Communist China provided about $150 million. Near the end of the testimony McNamara told Sen. Stuart Sym- ington (D-Mo): "I don't believe there is this gulf between the mil- itary leaders and the civilian lead- ers in the executive branch." "The area of controvery that we have been dealing with deals wit a very, very, tiny part of the total air war in the North, and this is why the chiefs and I feel there is no great gap between the military leaders and civilian lead- ers," he added.
