SAIGON, Viet Nam (2I)-American B-57 jet bombers rained ex-
plosives yesterday on suspected Viet Cong positions in a bloody fight
at the heart of the Cau Mau Peninsula. The shooting, which started
Sunday, was reported still in progress at sundown.
Among heavy casualties on both sides, six Americans were dead
or missing in the action near Vinh Loc, a region of rice fields and
swampy jungles 130 miles southwest of Saigon.
United States officials said more than 120 Viet Cong were killed
by a land, water and air assault of American-backed Vietnamese gov-
ernment forces. Among them was a Conimunist captain.
Initial reports indicated the government forces suffered more
than 60 casualties, including 16 dead. The twin-engine B-57 Canberras

Amidst an indignant hullabaloo
in the House of Commons, De-
fense Secretary Denis Healey con-
firmed that the Laborite govern-
ment's economy ax had fallen on
the prized British project known
as the TSR-2.
He admitted that an option had
been taken out for the purchase
of the new American F-111, a
craft of broadly similar function.
The TSR-2 had been rated the
showpiece of the British military
aircraft industry.'
It incorporated a complex of
highly sophisticated machinery
designed to make the plane hug
even the roughest terrain and slip
under radar beams to dump a nu-
clear weapon deep in enemy terri-
tory.
But the cost, said Healey, was
too vast for the shaky Britain
economy to bear.
"We discovered when we came
into office,' 'Healey said, "that
the planned program for the TSR-
2 would have cost around 750 mil-
lion pounds ($1.2 billion) for re-
search, development and produc-
tion.
But he said the government had
secured from Washington an op-
tion o nthe F-111 aircraft at a
price per plane which even on a
full-scale program would repre-
sent less than half the estimated
total of research, development and
production costs o fthe TSR-2.

En-lai was quoted yesterday as

He contended that neither Red
China nor Communist North Viet

Ele appeared to be saying that if
the United States wants peace it
must talk with the Viet Cong
rather than with him.
Lingering Hope
Chou's reported statement dim-
med lingering hope among diplo-
mats of getting the Communists
to agree to an international peace
conference on Viet Nam on any
terms that might be accepted by
the U.S.
The Chinese leader's message
was conveyed orally to Secretary-
General U Thant by the Algerian
ambassador to the UN, Tewfik
Bouattoura, who said Chou gave
his views to Algerian President
Ahmed Ben Bella on a visit to
Algiers last week. Ben Bella in-
structed his ambassador to take
Chou's message to Thant.
The message was the first re-
ported direct response Thant had
from any Communist country to
a proposal in mid-February for
seven-nation exploratory discus-
sions on how to settle the war
in Viet Nam.
Diplomats say the U.S. turned
down the proposal in February.
Meanwhile, President Lyndon

a policy speech before the nation
tonight in which he will stress

zation bill, with an added proviso
that the cut-off should remain in
effect "until the President deter-I
mines that such activity has ceas-
ed and receives assurances satis-
factory to him that it will not be
resumed."
Although not binding, the
amendment expresses "the sense;
of Congress" that these are stepsj
that would be enforced.
Chairman J. W. Fulbright (D-
Ark) announced the language was
adopted from a resolution intro-
duced in January by Sen. Vance
Hartke (D-Ind), who is not a
committee member. Fulbright said
the decision was taken without aj

mittee meeting.
A three-stage rocket, thrust-
augmented Delta hurled the satel-
lite into the sky at 6:48 p.m.
and propelled it into a great yo-
yo orbit ranging from about 830
to 22,950 miles high.
Officials were cheered by the
early success of the complex mis-
sion, but they cautioned that Early
Bird still must execute a number
of tricky orbit-shifting maneuv-
ers during the next nine days
before reaching its intended sta-
tionary outpost 22,300 miles above
the Atlantic Ocean.
The payload, the first launched
for the Communications Satel-
lite Corp. (COMSAT), is to be-
come a space switchboard for re-
laying radio, television, teletype
and telephone messages between
North America and Europe.
