Both sides
claim gains
in Falklands

By The Associated Press
Britain said its jets, missiles, and
shore gunners shot down at least seven
Argentine warplanes as a new battle
raged yesterday over the British
beachhead on the Falkland Islands.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
ruled out a cease-fire sought by Pope
John Paul II.
The British Defense Ministry an-
nouncement said an eighth Argentine
plane was seen leaving the battle
trailing smoke and acknowledged the
sinking of the British frigate Antelope,
which was set ablaze in an air raid Sun-
day.
IN WASHINGTON, the Argentine
Embassy issued a statement saying the
British liner Canberra, converted to a
troop ship, had been hit and suffered
major damage, two frigates were
seriously damaged, and one British Sea
Harrier jet was shot down. It said the
Argentines lost only one jet fighter, and
the pilot ejected and landed safely on
the Falklands.
Argentina's Joint Chiefs of Staff, in
its account of yesterday's action, said
its fighter-bombers attacked ships and
the British beachhead at Port San
Carlos on East Falkland Island and
"damages inflicted on the enemy"
were being evaluated. It did not men-
tion any Argentine losses and said one
of Britain's carrier-based Harriers was
shot down by anti-aircraft fire during a
raid on Stanley, the Falklands capital
50 miles east of San Carlos.
British Defense Secretary John Nott
said more than a third of Argentina's
air force has been destroyed in the un-
declared war and more ships were
arriving to reinforce the British task
force.
