Government troops outnum-1 bered about two to one repelled, with air and artillery support, the biggest of the enemy on-1 slaughts. The troops turned back three human wave assaults by a Viet Cong battalion of about 400 men in a fight near Phuoc Binh, 755 miles north of Saigon and 30 miles east of Loc Ninh, a district headquarters town on Cambodian frontier where the Reds' dry season offensive got off to a poor start last month.

A government spokesman said the troops killed at least 110 deade raiders, while losing six and 40 wounded. He said they captured five machine two flame throwers and 22 Chinese AK47 assault rifles. Twenty eight South Vietnamese, including 17 civilians, were reported killed elsewhere. Fourteen of the mortar, attacks centered on South Vietnamese cities, hamlets and military positions in the delta, parts of which the Viet Cong have held ed by the U.S. Command Friday.

Officers at Dak To said 285 Americans, 48 government regJulars and 1,455 of the enemy had been killed. There were 988 American wounded and 18 missing. The South Vietnamese had 184 wounded. Rosson said four North Vietnamese regiments that had gathered around Dak To, which lies only a few miles northeast of the junction of the frontiers of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, were splintered. He told newsmen they have been driven back and are now trying to regroup.

He estimated 7,000 North Vietnamese combat troops were involved. "The enemy is attempting to stabilize on our side of the he said. "There is now no threat any large-scale renewal of the battle?" He added that the North Vietnamese commander may be able to start another push later, but not for several weeks. U.S. B52 bombers, which have been pounding potential North Vietnamese escape and supply routes in that sector, staged a saturation raid on suspected troop concentrations 14 miles northeast of Dak To.

The Viet Cong-South Vietnamese fight near Phuoc Binh 'led allied officers to wonder whether the enemy might intend to try again to take Loc Ninh, where they lost 918 dead Oct. 29-Nov. 3 in attacks officially reported repelled at a cost of 11 American and 23 South Vietnamese lives. The frenzied Red effort to take Loc Ninh had been preceded by a fight at Phuoc Binh Oct. 27.

A South Vietnamese battallion said it killed 143 guerrillas in that prelude. Monsoon clouds limited most U.S. air operations over North Vietnam Friday to targets in the Southern Panhandle.

LB.J Unveils Political Summary SAN ANTONIO, Tex.

(AP) President Johnson kept tabs on Cyprus and gold Saturday while unveiling what looks like the political bible for the 1968 presidential campaign. The 11-page document was described by the presidential legislative staff which put it together as a four-year "Legislative Record of Accomplishment and Progress for America." It appears destined to get heavy use by Johnson and the Democrats, and it does nothing at all to discourage the idea that the President is bent on trying for another term, even though he smiles inscrutably when 1 asked. The report sets forth what it calls an impressive record of getting 226 of 252 major proposals through Congress in 1964-66. It figures this is a 92 per cent score- -which seems to be a couof points too high. It lists 38 "key bills" passed this year and more as on the verge of passage.

Tax, truth in lending and safe streets measures aren't among on the verge but are billed as extremely important. Nor is there any mention of how badly some of the bills may have been battered in congressional bat-240 tling. Johnson worked Saturday morning at the LBJ Ranch, 755 miles north of here, Assistant Press Secretary Tom Johnson told reporters. He said Johnson was keeping in touch with efforts to head off a Greek Turkish war over Cyprus receivingper ON GOLD.

GOP Group Will Meet In Staunton RICHMOND The Republican State Central Committee will meet in Staunton Dec. 16. The meeting, scheduled to begin at Ingleside at 11 a.m., was called by State GOP Chairman Robert J. Corber. The main item of business will be a discussion of details for the 1968 state Republican convention which will be held May 3-4 at the John Marshall Hotel.

Chairman for planning the convention is Art Brinkley of the Third District. Mr. Brinkley is expected to make a report on his work. H. D.

Dawbarn and Clyde Pearson are expected to give re ports on the 1968 General Assembly. Delegate A. R. Giesen a member of the State Central Committee, has invited the group to meet in Staunton. Other items on the agenda will include reports on the 1967 elections and financial matters.

Cyprus (Continued from Page 1) expected a specific move or guarantee of as a first step to de escalation. They said this was not contained in the Greek proposal. Nevertheless, Turkish officials avoided using the word "rejection" in connection with Turkey's reaction to the plan. This led some diplomats to the assumption a solution can be found. Greece and Turkey were drawn into the Cyprus dispute because of the island's residents of Greek and Turkish origin.

Greek Cypriots outnumber the Turkish Cypriots by around 4-1. They have been feuding ever since independence from Britain. At first the Greeks wanted union with Greece, and the Turks wanted partition which would give them an independent portion of the island. They fought over this issue in 1964 but that now has been pretty much shelved. The troop sue is at the center of the new crisis, sparked by a clash between the Greek and Turkish communities in two villages 10 days ago.

Twenty-five Turks and two Greeks were killed. Turkey claims Gen. George the Greek commander of Cypriot armed forces, was responsible for the clashes. It demanded he be fired. He was recalled to Athens last week.

Both Greece and Turkey have alerted their armed forces. Turkey been sending jets over the island for a week. The seven passes by jets Saturday were the highest number yet. Apparently the flights were being made for reconnaissance purposes and as a warning to Greek Cypriots. To some, the flights underlined the words of Zenon Rossides, Cypriot ambassador to the United Nations.

He told the U.N. Security Council in New York: "It is the knowledge of all governments that this weekend has been fixed for the invasion." In London, the Foreign Office warned Britons to stay away from Greece and Turkey during the crisis. The U.S. State Department already has flown out 500 American women and children from Cyprus. Most of them are dependents of U.S.
