Military sources said the lead platoon, numbering about 40 men, was moving along a road criss-crossed by Viet Cong itches when the guerrillas ambushed them and lobbed a mine into their midst. Then the Viet Cong raked the company with heavy machine-gun and small-arms fire, virtually wiping out the platoon in a few seconds A second company moved up to help the first, but within half an hour had used all its ammunition. Both companies were part of the 178d Airborne Brigade. About 20 minutes after the ambush, U.S. jet fighters and armed helicopters were over the area, bombing and strafing the suspected guerrilla position, A U.S. military spokesman confirmed that there was action in the area, which is west of Ben Cat, and that it was continuing. He described U.S. casualties as light. In ‘Iron Triangle’ The ambush occurred during a massive joint U.S.-Australian sweep through the “iron triangle” of War Zone D, a terrain of rubber trees and bush, riddled with underground fortifications. An American military spokesman announced that a Viet Cong field headquarters had been destroyed and that 13 Viet Cong had been killed and 70 suspects captured. In another major anti-Viet Cong operation, a large force of Amer. ican and South Vietnamese troops moved in a three-pronged action to crush guerrilla units menacing a vital stretch of highway in“ ‘the central highlands. More than 5,000 men of the U.S. ist Air Cavalry Division, in their first big operation, swooped down by helicopter into the Soui La Tinh valley, about 280 miles northeast of Saigon. At the same time, South Vietnamese land forces advanced into the valley on foot and in motorized units. Overhead, U.S. fighter-bombers pounded guerrilla targets. Earlier, three waves of B-52 bombers from the Guam island base had plastered suspected Viet Cong concentration areas with hundreds of tons of bombs, The operation was the latest round in a bitter and prolonged struggle for control of about 20 miles of highway in Binh Dinh province. ‘The government wants to keep the stretch of road open because it is part of the main north-south highway. The Viet Cong apparently need the area tc move supplies from the coast to their, bases in the highlands. Indonesia: Army Nets 1,500 Reds Charges Them With Part in Plot By Reuters DJAKARTA, Oct. 10.—The Indonesian Army has arrested at least 1,500 Communists on charges of participating in the recent attempted coup d'état, army sources said today. Army and police have given no official figures, but the sources put the total number detained in the past week at 1,500, apart from 2,000 insurgents captured in the fighting in Central Java. The disclosure was made as President Sukarno returned here from his Bogor holiday palace, where he has been since the rising ten days ago. The Communists arrested include members of the Gerwani Communist women’s movement, some members of which are alleged to have tortured the six army generals whose mutilated bodies were found in a dry well Monday. The body of a seventh, Gen, Samusi, of the police, was found today. Members of the Communist party’s band and choir were also reported under detention. Moslems Warn Some shooting has been heard during the roundup, apparently by individuals resisting arrest. Anti-Communist feeling is mounting among Djakarta’s Moslem population. Moslem and rightist organizations at a rally Friday passed a resolution warning the president that any compromise with the Communists would increase popular hatred and resentment. But Mr, Sukarno is believed to be still trying to save his concept of Nasakom—a blending of nationalist. religious and Communist forces, An army spokesman. on Djakarta radio today appealed for civilians to cooperate with the troops against the Communists. A crowd of Moslems reportedly ransacked a suburban office of the Gerwani yesterday, They destroyed files and burned some of the office furniture, but not the premises. This followed Friday's burning of Communist party headquarters. Untung at Large ‘The whereabouts of party chief D.N. Aidit were unknown but reliable sources said Mr. Njono, chief of the Djakarta branch of the party, was arrested after a chase near his house three nights ago. He was believed to be the highest-ranking Communist arrested so far. Another reportedly arrested was a colonel, identified as A. Latief, one of the coup leaders. Col. Untung, the chief plotter, is still at large. The Army, along with Islamic political parties, has organized processions along Djakarta’s streets demanding that Mr. Aidit be hanged.

White House aide Jack Valenti said: “He’s running the hospital like he’s running the country.” The president awoke shortly after 6 a.m., shaved and took several steps in his room with hardly any assistance, an early medical bulletin said. His doctors reported him in excellent condition after a very restful night. Mr. Johnson went to sleep about 10 pm, yesterday after a day in which he held conferences with his staff, read intelligence reports on foreign policy developments and signed 14 bills. The first bill—which extended the interest equalization tax on foreign purchases of U.S. securities—was signed in the presence of a. hastily summoned news agency photographer at 6:35 a.m. The last bill—extending and vedoubling the efforts of the antipoverty program—was signed just.

Mr. Smith said he was “going home for a final decision on this.” Rhodesia’s talks with Britain collapsed under Britain’s refusal to consider independence for its selfgoverning colony until agreement was reached on the future of the country’s almost 4 million Africans, who outnumber the whites about 18 to one. Economic Sanctions Britain has insisted that the whites recognize the inevitability Mr. Wilson hurried ba to London from his country residence for a surprise meeting tonight opposition leader Edward Heath on the crisis.

Mr. Smith told reporters that when the old Central African |Federation of Northern and Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland was dissolved, his country had been promised its independence like the other two members. “We believe we have a right to independence, and possession is nine-tenths of the law. We believed what we were told. An Englishman's word is his bond. That is what I was brought up to believe. It seems as though we made a mistake.” He denied that a unilateral declaration of independence would be an act of rebellion, as maintained by the British government. “I deny the truth of the statement because Rhodesians will do nothing that will amount to a withdrawal of their allegiance in the slightest to the queen,” he said. If Rhodesia unilaterally declares independence, it will be only the second time in history that a territory has seceded from British dependency by an act of rebellion.

Mr, Johnson nominated Charles White Halleck, 36, as an associate judge of the court of General Sessions for the District of Columbia. ‘This is the city municipal court for Washington. ‘The original plan called for the president to remain in the hospital for another week to ten days before returning to the White House. The Johnson family physician, Dr. James Cain, said: “We are going to keep him in the hospital by main force until we feel that it is safe for him to leave.” Vice-President Hubert Humphrey called at the hospital today for the first time. Mrs. Humphrey brought the president a pair of yellow pajamas as a gift. ‘excellent Spirits’ Mrs. Johnson and her elder daughter, Lynda, sat’ in the president's room during the Humphreys’ visit.

He was wearing gold-colored pajamas and a brown silk robe, with a sheet covering the lower half of his body. “How are you feeling, Mr. President?” a reporter asked, “Pretty good,” Mr. Johnson replied. “I'm a little sore on the side. I've been up three or four times this morning.. I feel good. I'm a little weak. I'll be all right. I’m down to 200 pounds.

Mr, Crimmins said the United States sought the delay so it could provide the transportation for the refugees. He said there were fears of a flood of small boats pouring uncontrollably into Miami, There have been estimates that as many as 350,000 Cubans may want to immigrate. Cuba Cooperative At least four boats piloted by Cuban exiles, have arrived in Cuba from Florida in the last two days and Cuban officials reported more were on the way. One boatload of 20 Cubans left the Cuban fishing port of Camarioca at midday for the Florida coast. Sixteen of the occupants of the 31-foot boat were Cuban relatives of exiles living in the United States, Four exiles said they borrowed the boat, the MMM, and set sail Friday from Miami, They arrived in Cuba yesterday and said they received every assistance from the Cuban government in locating their families and other Cubans who returned to the United Staves with them. The other boats arriving in Cuba will be allowed to return to Florida as soon as they are serviced and all the- exiles’ relatives located, Cuban government officials told newsmen brought to Camarioca for the occasion by Cuban government officials. ‘The Coast Guard, with visions of a Dunkerque-style exodus from the island, had four cutters — the Ariadne, the Diligence, Cape Darby and Cape Shoalwater—patrolling between the Florida Keys and Cuba, Two aircraft were patrolling the Cay Sal island groups, only 35 miles off the north Cuban coast, where Camarioca is located. At least two other small Coast Guard patrol craft were keeping close watch on the waters through the Keys, and air-sea rescue aircraft droned over the Bahamas looking for small boats.

Bouncing back from Wednesday's opening-day third-inning knockout, big-Don struck out 11 Twins and went all the way on a five-hitter. The Dodgers’ triumph meant that the Series now must return to Minnesota for a sixth game Wednesday and possibly a seventh game, on Thursday.

The Sunday newspaper “Welt am Greece Shuffles Army Top; New Cabinet Crisis Feared By the Associated Press ATHENS, Oct. 10.—Greece’s new government yesterday carried out sweeping changes in the army leadership by transferring or retiring seven out of 11 top officers in the Greek armed forces supreme command. The changes were made with King Constantine's approval by the supreme national defense council at a two-day meeting presided over by Premier Stephanos Stephanopoulos, The changes brought about the threat of a new government crisis only three weeks after the last one was shakily resolved. Authoritative sources said Coordination Minister Constantine Mitsotakis would resign if the council votes on Tuesday to retire Lt. Gen. Charalambos Loukakis, at present military governor of southern Greece and the Greek islands, and certain major generals. Minister's Proposal The proposal was made by Defense Minister Stavros Costopoulos to the meeting of the council. If the council approves Mr. Costopoulos’s suggestions, sources said, Mr. Mitsotakis would resign and other ministers probably would follow him. This could force the fall of Mr. Stephanopoulos's government, which has a parliamentary majority of only two deputies. ‘At yesterday’s meeting the defense council accepted the resignations of the chief of the joint defense general staff, Gen. John Pipilis, and chief of the general staff Gen. John Genimatas. In their place it appointed Gens.

President Heinrich Luebke is also allegedly against the reappointment of Mr, Schroeder. Cites France, Russia France and Russia, Dr, Adenauer said this week, are joining hands to encircle Germany, and it is all Mr. Schroeder's fault. Tomorrow, Mr, Strauss meets in Munich with the leaders of his Bavarian party group. It was reported today he intends to break away from the main Christian Democratic caucus in Bonn if Mr. Erhard insists on keeping Mr. Schroeder.
