It was nearly three times the highest total an- nounced for any previous week. The U.S. command also re- ported 470 Americans were wounded during the week end- ing at midnight Nov. 20 and six are missing in action. A record number of Commu- nist casualties also was re- ported--2,262 dead and 136 cap- tured. South Vietnamese forces reported 357- dead and 807 wounded, more than double the previous week. The exact count of American jcasualties during the week was believed to be significantly higher than the totals an- nounced.- The full toll will not be available until later due to procedure which requires that each American casualty identified by name before being carried on a casualty list. U.S. senior commanders in Viet Nam and officials in Wash- jington are known to be deeply concerned over the effect on morale at home of the sudden upsurge in American combat casualties. But they consider the increase inevitable as the tempo of the war continues to be} U.S. Soldiers iricrease and the ijumber of U.S. fighting men involved goes up. The average for the Korean war was about 210 American battle dead a week, but at times it rose far higher. The report today brought the total.of U.S. casualties reported in nearly five years of fighting in Viet Nam to 1,300 dead and about 6,000 wounded. Half the dead and a third of the wounded were cut down in the last three months as U.S. combat troops who began arriving in Viet Nam in February took a bigger and bigger part in the war. The highest previous total of American casualties was re- ported for the week ending Nov. 13. It was 86 killed and 230 wounded. The week before the total was 70 killed and 237 wounded. Meanwhile, new fighting was reported on the central coast as 500 South Vietnamese troops clashed with about 200 Viet Cong 330 miles north of Saigon near the provincial capital of Quang Ngai. South Vietnamese officials claimed 150 guerrillas were killed. U.S. planes continued heavy strikes in North Viet Nam. They attacked bridges, railway cars, roads and military barracks. All planes returned safely de- spite heavy anti-aircraft fire, a spokesman said.

Wilson said the British gov- ernment does not regard the United Nations embargo resolu- tion as mandatory. He Said his government still iders the Rhod crisis to be: primarily a British prob- Nem, but he warned that Brit- ain must take action to avoid having "that responsibility taken out.of our hands, by oth- ers, and possibly by methods which would involve lasting damage for Rhodesia, and in- deed far beyond Rhodesia." RULES OUT TROOPS Wilson again ruled out the sending of any British troops to overthrow the Smith regime, Wiison sald 'his government will "study all aspects of trade and oil" sanctions and then re-| port back to Parliament. "We are not going in for a) trade embargo or an oil em-) bargo alone. This would make | nonsense of the situation. "The oil embargo is bristling with difficulties if it is going to be effective and if there is to be fairly general support for it. "These things will have to be very carefully studied." He emphasized' that Britain does not want sanctions "which are damaging and ineffective" and he added: "Tt is very important we should only proceed with the others principally concerned."

(AP)--The mysterious p~*t-surgery deaths of two children and a young mother at Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital were blamed by the hospital and state investigators Tuesday on a mixture of anes- thetics. The hospital said it did not know who was responsible for the lethal mixture. The three patients died within 24 hours of each other last week. Assistant Prosecutor Walter D. Schmier of Oakland County said there was a possibility that a "malcontent or demented per- son" mixed the anesthetics. "This case," Schmier said, 'thas all the ingredients of a malcontent or demented person having a grudge against the hospital or the hospital admin- istration." Schmier said a murder charge would be brought if foul play is shown. Schmier's superior, Prose- cutor S. Jerome Bronson, said earlier his office was attempt- ing to "fix responsibility for the deaths." He said warrants would be sought in court if criminal] liability is indicated. 5 MEETS FEDERAL MEN Schmier .made his comments after consulting with investi- gators of the federal food and drug administration. A fourth hospital patient, who also had been given the mixture of anesthetics, remained in se- rious condition. Schmier said all four patients had been given the same mix- ture of ether and surital, the latter a drug used as 'an anes- thetic. Hospital Administrator Harry Whitlow said in a statement the three who died had received 'an anesthesia which contained an unknown amount of ether." Investigators said ether was found in a sealed bottle sup- posed to contain only surital, It was not disclosed in what area of the hospital the bottle was found. Whitlow said hospital person- ne] denied responsibility for the mixed anesthetics involved in the three deaths. Boy Torches Home; 7 Die SUNBURY, Pa. (AP)--A 17- year-old boy says- he shot his parents, then set a house fire that killed seven younger broth- ers and. sisters because he wanted to collect insurance to pay off debts, police report. State police Capt. John C. Grey said the youth, Harold Bordner, made the oral state- ment Tuesday from his hospital bed. Another official, Coroner Henry .F. Ulrich, quoted Bord- ner as saying: "I wanted to pay my bills. I thought it would be better this way," Earlier in the day, the grief- stricken father, Paul, 38, at- tended graveside services for his seven children--Cindy, 8; Jerry, 7; Stephen 6; Roger, 5; John, 4; Ruby, 3, and Dennis 1. The father received minor wounds from shotgun pellets. Harold Bordner, his parents and rive other children suffered burns in the fire Saturday night at their two-storey log house in the nearby tiny rural commu- nity of Herndon. All but the father remained in hospital. UNCANNY PREDICTOR SEES A ROUGH ONE ST. JOHN' 's, Nfld. (CP)-- Levi Drodge, an amateur forecaster who has been pre- dicting weather in Newfound- land with uncanny accuracy for more than 40 years, has decided to branch out. Mr,' Drodge issued his: first long-range forecast for ail Canada Tuesday. In a statement to The Tele- gram, Mr. Drodge, 83, a re- tired fisherman. from- the Trinity Bay community -- of Hillview, announced: "There's a hard winter coming up. Don't say I dign't warn you." His first forecast for the entire country: "It's 'going to be a very hard winter for Canada. It is going to be very cold and plenty of snow and frost."

They said they wanted better food, more radios and more recreation. The four convicts were talked into submission by Randolph and Menard Warden Max Frye as 300 guards and state troop- ers surrounded the prison kitchen in which the convicts had barricaded themselves with three guard hostages. The leaders permitted a doctor to give guard Tom Gross a blood transfusion through prison bars after he was stabbed. They released Gross when his condition became ob- viously serious.

The pill will not be generally. available for another six months but has been tested for the last six months, he said. Carey, speaking at a meeting of the Marriage Guidance Coun- cil of New South Wales, said the main difference between tne Australian pill and other oral ontraceptives is the amount and quality of the two female hormones, oestrogen and pro- 29, serving three to seven years'gesterone.
