4 1 if weaves Lodg Talks Amid A Ik He Calls Reds Chief Obstacle To Ending War WOUNDED U.S. SOLDIER HAS HIS MANGLED LEG TENDED: At Cambodian outpost of Bu Prang, South Vietnam, (White stake is artillery marker) (UPI) oliday Cease-Fire Set In Vietnam fkntitul WOnijD.NATtONAIi edged the action Wednesday and Thursday. "Allied forces operating in the area have returned fire this is an inherent right of self-defense against enemy attacks," it said. THE REGION is in Cambodia's Prey Veng Province. According to official Cambodian publications, the area is being used as a base area by 15,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers.

Allied sources estimate the total number of enemy command troops inside Cambodia at 40,000. Escorting newsmen around Tuyen Binh, officials produced a captured document they claimed was a Cambodian authorization for Communist command troops to occupy and train in Prey Veng, But they conceded no Cambodian ficials had signed it. THE REPORTED troop crossing came after U.S. jets had flown over the frontier to bomb Communist mortar positions inside Cambodia, the sources said. The four-hour battle around Tuyen Binh district headquarters outpost, a red-and-white colonial structure once used by the French, cost the Communists 166 dead, spokesmen said.

Twenty-five South Vietnamese, including 10 civilians, were reported killed. Official allied sources at the scene said the South Vietnamese platoon that pushed across the border in hot pursuit was still on Cambodian soil as of Thursday afternoon. The U. S. Command, which until recently has been cautious in references to air and artillery strikes into Cambodia, acknowl SAIGON (UPI)-The United States and South Vietnam announced Thursday they would observe 24-hour cease-fires on Christmas and New Year's for "humanitarian purposes." In the war, South Vietnamese troops were reported to have crossed into Cambodia in pursuit of a fleeing Communist battalion.

The U.S. command reported that 70 Americans were killed in Vietnam combat last week 60 less than in the previous seven day period for one of the lowest casualty levels in three years. SOUTH VIETNAMESE President Nguyen Van Thieu announced the holiday truces after a 90-minute meeting with U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker. He said they would run from 6 p.m.

on Christmas and New Year's Eves to 6 Friday, Dec. 5, 1969 3 A p.m. on Dec. 26 and Jan. 1.

There was no immediate word on whether the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese planned to declare their own cease-fires for Christmas and New Year's. Official military sources reported that a platoon of 40 South Vietnamese soldiers crossed into Cambodia Thursday in pursuit of survivors of a North Vietnamese battalion that hurled human wave attacks Wednesday on a government outpost just 800 yards from the Cambodian border. JCrui flurk Eitttnr Dispatch To Ths Sentinel PARIS Henry Cabot Lodge took leave of the Vietnam peace talks as chief American delegate Thursday in an atmosphere of failure, insult and recrimination. Lodge's last statement to the four-sided conference summed up 10 months and 45 plenary sessions by saying that "the only concrete progress here is agreement on the shape of the table." LODGE, who is to fly to Boston, Saturday, said goodbye to his principal adversary, Xuan Thuy, chief negotiator for North Vietnam during the 50-minute break in the session. The two men had tea.

Lodge's formal statement said the obstacle to negotiating an end to the war "is your side's absolute refusal to join us in seeking a just peace." In return, Lodge heard such expressions as these: The "puppet government" of Saigon "is a clique of traitors devoid of any human conscience." "The United States is obstinate, very obstinate; perfidious, very perfidious." "The United States policy is a crime, the supreme crime that has engendered other crimes." The United States has rigged up "the traitorous, extremely corrupt and heartless administration" of Saigon "as a tool for carrying 'out the war of aggression and perpetrating crimes in South Vietnam." WHEN HE merged from the conference room, Lodge said: "I continue to be an optimist. I think that one day this war is going to He said that "a negotiated settlement is of overwhelming importance" and he expressed faith that it would be obtained. But he added: "If unobtainable, and you can get a de facto arrangement where people don't kill each other anymore, that's really the important thing, isn't it?" Lodge was referring to past statements about the possibility that the war might just fade away. AT ANY rate, Lodge asserted during his formal statement that "the trend of American involvement in the war in Vietnam has been reversed." He also reacted indignantly to what he called "wild and inaccurate charges" involving U. S.

FRED HAMPTON Killed in gun battle 2 Panthers Killed In Gun Battle CHICAGO (Reuters) Two Black Panther leaders, Fred Hampton, 20, and Mark Clark, 22, were killed Thursday in a furious gunbattle with police after officers attempted to raid their apartment. Six other Panther members, including three women, were injured in the clash along with two policemen. Hampton headed the Illinois branch of the Panthers and Clark was leader of the organization in southern Illinois. OFFICERS from the state attorney's office surrounded the apartment on Chicago's west side which was shared by Hampton and Bobby Rush, the Panther's deputy defense minister.

John Ciscewski, 24, one of the policemen on the raid, said 13 officers surrounded the building. "As soon as we announced that we were police and had a search warrant, a burst of shotgun fire came through the door," he said. Ciscewski, who was wounded in the leg, said he and another policeman, Edward a broke down the back door and rushed into the kitchen of the apartment with guns blazing. "The shooting must have gone on for about five minutes but it seemed like five hours as we fought it out from room to. room," he said.

THE STATE attorney's office had obtained a search warrant from a circuit court judge following a report that arms were stored in the building.

This word from Deputy Dist.

Atty. Aaron Stovitz was the first indication that Charles M. Manson, called "God" and "Satan" by his followers, will be the target of charges. SEVERAL MEMBERS of his band have been accused by police of the shooting-stabbing slayings of Miss Tate, actress wife of director Roman Polanski, and six others. But the only charge thus far against Manson is in Independence, where he is charged with possessing stolen cars.

One member of his group has said through attorneys that Manson was not present during five slayings at the Tate home or during three others for which some group members are blamed. Stovitz said he will seek murder and conspiracy" indictments against at least six persons when he begins presenting his case to the Los Angeles County Grand Jury Friday. Shot or stabbed with Miss Tate, 26, at her $200,000 home last Aug. 9 were Hollywood hair stylist Jay Sebring, 35, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, 26, Polfeh playboy Voityck Frokowsky, 37, and Steven Parent, 18, friend of the caretaker.

Rogers Thursday told the Western allies the Helsinki strategic arms talks with the Soviets have made a good start. But he warned the path ahead will be formidable. In his first appearance before the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ministers, Rogers also: CAUTIONED AGAINST a premature, ill-prepared European security conference. The Soviets have proposed such a conference at Helsinki early next year. Said the United States already has withdrawn 60,000 troops from Vietnam and will continue this pullout systematically.

But he voiced pessimism about the Paris peace negotiations. 0 Expressed belief that the Soviets do not want another round of full-scale fighting in the Middle East, although he said it is unclear whether "they want the present level of tension to continue. REITERATED Washington's pledges to maintain its present combat troop strength in Europe until June 30, 1972, and to honor treaty commitments to Europe and elsewhere. Much of Rogers' 2 5 i speech was devoted to the Helsinki Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT). He promised that U.S.

chief negotiator Gerard C. Smith will come here to brief the council when the talks leave the Finnish capital or when preliminary discussions are concluded. Italians Vote Rights For Tyrol Germans ROME (Reuters) The Italian Chamber of Deputies Thursday night approved measures to give new rights to the German speaking population of the South Tyrol.

Long said he wanted to wait until the House acts probably next week on the Social Security bill, but Sen. Albert E. Gore, said he would propose the amendment Friday if Long did not. Long said he would. In other action on the tax reform bill, the Senate approved proposals allowing elderly persons to deduct all their medical expenses from their income taxes, giving a tax break to the handicapped and permitting foundations to underwrite voter registration drives.

But it rejected proposals to increase taxes on farm crops and on U.S. oil firms operating abroad. WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Senate agreed Thursday to consider a proposal Friday to add a 15 per cent across-the-board increase in Social Security benefits to the $9 billion worth of tax cuts it has voted for the American people. In a surprise move only hours after President Nixon criticized Congress for its slow pace, Finance Committee Chairman Russell B. Long, said he would try to tack the Social Security increase onto the Senate's tax reform bill.

DEBATE ON the increase will begin Friday and members might possibly get to a vote. When they do vote, approval seems likely on the proposal that would benefit 25 million elderly citizens beginning Jan. 1. DECEMBER 1969 CHANUKAH 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 i i.
