at the time of the U. S. Jets Blast Depots On the Edges of Hanoi By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) American jets wrecked three major depots on the edge of Hanoi Tuesday in the heaviest raids on North Vietnam in weeks, and a 7th Fleet task force sank or damaged 12 supply barges off the North Vietnamese coast the U. S. Command announced today.

In South Vietnam there was heavy fighting on the northern front and Hue was shelled for the fourth day. But no progress was reported from the paratroopers who reached the outskirts of Quang Tri City on Tuesday. North Vietnam claimed that U.S. planes bombed and strafed residential areas of Hanoi, "killing or injuring many persons, and destroying or damaging hundreds of dwelling houses." The U.S. Command denied ordering any attacks on civilian targets and said it had no information "indicating other than military targets were hit." But spokesmen acknowledged there may have been people working in the three supply and vehicle depots that were attacked during more than 320 strikes in North Vietnam Tuesday.

North Vietnam also claimed that two F4 Phantoms were shot down during the raids. The U.S. Command said it had no plane losses Tuesday to report yet. But it did announce that MIG21 interceptors shot down a pair of Phantoms southwest of Hanoi on June 27 and a surface-to-air missile brought down a third Phantom 40 miles northeast of Hanoi July 1. Two of the fliers were rescued, and four are missing, the command said.

During the last two weeks, the U.S. Command has reported nine planes lost over North Vietnam and 16 fliers missing, raising the toll since the resumption of full-scale bombing on April 6 to 54 aircraft downed and 61 airmen missing, In a delayed report which ap parently had to be cleared by the Pentagon because of its political sensitivity, the command said that a naval task force las Saturday caught a flotilla of barges transporting supplies from offshore freighters presumed to be from the Communist bloc. Navy spokesmen said the destroyers Berkeley, Everett F. Larson and Gurke waited until the barges were clear of the freighters, then blasted them with their five-inch guns. The spokesmen said the destroyers' radarmen observed that 12 barges were sunk or damaged, but the ships were unable to identify the nationality of either the freighters or the barges because of darkness.

Radio Hanoi claimed today that North Vietnam is getting war supplies by sea through 12 coastal points which the United States had not been able to close by mines or offshore patrols. The broadcast did not locate any of the points. Death Record David Edward Graham, 51, of 385 South Main St. Roy C. Dickson, 81, of Hadley RD 2 Mrs.
