(UPI) It J. "Believe it or not, do you know what killed most of us? Our own rifle. "Before we left Okinawa we were all issued the new rifle, the M-16. "Practically every one of our dead was found with his rifle torn down next to him where he had been trying to fix it. "There was a newspaper woman with us photographing all this and the Pentagon found out about it and won't let her publish the pictures.

They say they don't want to get the American people upset. "Isn't that a laugh!" So wrote a Marine from Vietnam to his family in the Shore area. His parents said the public should be made aware of this but asked that their son's iden tity not be disclosed for fear of reprisals against him. Year in Vietnam The Marine is neither a new comer to the service nor to service in Vietnam. He has been in the Marines since 1962 and has spent more than a year in Vietnam.

As his mother phrased it: "Just as anyone in a parties lar line of work is acquainted with the equipment he works with, so a Marine who has to use a gun knows all about it." The Marine, in his letter, also questioned whether the American public was being told the truth about casualties among United States forces. Before commenting about the M-16 rifle, which is being mves tigated by the House Armed Services subcommittee because of reports the rifle jams easily, the Marine wrote: Lost Half "We left with close to 1,400 men in our Dauanon ana came 1. back with half." He also reported statistics at the company and platoon levels indicating equally high casualties. It was then he posed the question whether the folks at home "know what killed most of us." At the same time he noted that while American casualties were high, "the ratio (of enemy casualties) was something like 8 to 1 confirmed. "We don't know how many they dragged away but it was a lot from all the blood we saw.

"Oh, well, I guess no one cares to hear about this kind of stuff." Red China Seeks More Vietnams CHICAGO Foreign Minister Chen Yi of Red China is quoted as saying that the world needed "not just one Vietnam, but three or four. And we will get them." The statement was reported by Simon Malley, a reporter for me rrencn language newspaper, Jeune Afrique, and other African papers. He told of his interview in Peking with Chen Yi in a copyright article yesterday in the Chicago Daily News. Malley quoted Chen YI as saying the other Vietnams which Red China seeks will be in Africa, Asia and Latin ASBURY EIGHTY-EIGHTH YEAR NO. Syrians Demand HolyWar Israel Adopts 'Wait-and-Scc' Defense Policy BEIRUT, Lebanon IP) Israel readied its troops for action today against the massing troops of Syria and Egypt as a top Syrian military leader called for war.

Egypt took over patrolling its border with Israel as the U.N. peacekeeping force that has been declared disbanded prepared to leave the tense area. The force was set up in 1956 after the Suez War. The U.N. troops were ordered withdrawn by U.N.

Secretary-General Thant at the request of Egypt. In calmer days, Syrian challenges of war on Israel have been dismissed outside Syria as exaggerated. Misistcr Quoted But in the present crisis, the words of Syrian Defense Minister Maj. Gen. Hafex Assad took on added gravity: "In my opinion, as a military man." Assad said In the Svrian government newspaper.

Al Thawra, "the time is ripe to begin the battle of liberation" against Israel. "Our forces are not only completely ready to repel aggression, they are also fully prepared to start the liberation operation." Western diplomats in Palestine feared that one overt incident could lead to a full blown Arab-Israeli war. Should the crisis come to a showdown. Israel could send its 300.000 troops against about 260,000 Egyptians and 115,000 Syrians. The three countries have enough military hardware to fight a war of unprecedented dimensions in the Middle East's bloodstained history, American officials say.

Troops Alerted Svrla had 40,000 troops on alert along its border with Israel. At U.N. headquarters in New York, Security Council members were discussing whether to hold a council meeting on the Arab Israeli situation. Thant appealed to Egypt and Israel to "exercise the utmost calm and restraint." Increasing military traffic was noted on the streets and highways of Israel today and gome reseryists reported for active duty. No panic was evident.

The general attitude from the average Israelite and in military and political circles was: "Let's wait and see what Egypt really Intends to do." Tension was mounting in Cairo, where Moslem clergyman were blaring calls for a "holy war on Israel" over loudspeakers. Students Register Students and workers flocked to registration points to sign up for what is now called "the jacred march on Israel."

Antirioting Fund OK'd By Senate WASHINGTON UP) A $75 million fund aimed at preventing big-city summer rioting has won Senate approval but still faces a House test. The Senate action yesterday came one day after President Johnson said staff reports from 10 cities had prompted him to ask for the extra antipoverty money. And it came despite a warning from Sen. Allen J.

EUen-der, that civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael is trying to intimidate Congress into pouring millions of dollars into Northern slum areas. The money, if finally approved, would be used for jobs, recreation, playgrounds, swim ming pools and other summer projects. It was part of $2.26 billion in supplemental spending bill most of which was passed earlier by the House which won approval 74 to 1. The money is for use between now and July 1, the' start of the next fiscal year. The $75 million will be administered through the Office of Economic Opportunity, for which Congress previously voted $1.61 billion this budget year.

The Senate added another $143 million in items which the House must consider. It also threw in a ban on using anti-poverty money for establishment or operation of a general coverage newspaper, magazine, radio station or television station. The Senate added $10 million of the $12 million Johnson asked for preservice training this summer of National Teacher Corns recruits and interns. The House had voted nothing for this.

A contest between Thieu, an Army lieutenant general and Ky, an air vice marshal, could badly divide Saigon's military hierarchy at a time when Com munist pressure is increasing. Ky refused to comment on the announcement of Thieu's candidacy, saying he would have to talk first with Thieu. The premier had said earlier, when announcing his own candidacy, that he would withdraw if Thieu decided to run for the sake of unity.

It was felt, however, that Ky was marking time until he could find out how much support he had among military leaders. The ruling military junta backed Ky in an informal vote last Sunday. In an earlier straw poll Thieu won. A spokesman" for Thieu discounted the danger of a split in the military which has been the power behind the government in South Vietnam since the November 1963 overthrow of the Diem governmnt. It was believed, however, that the military's willingness to go along with the prodding of both the people and the United States to hold popular elections stemmed mainly from its confidence that it could control the choice of president and premier in any new regime.

Storm Batters Burma RANGOON, Burma UP) A storm that has battered Burma's southwestern coast for the past 48 hours destroyed 800 vil lages, and left more than 100, 000 persons homeless. At least six persons were killed and 16 are listed as missing, lidai waves swept over thousands of acres in the wake of the storm, inundating whole villages. VIET I 111 1 YW JL Jk tB in loss of its right to ship clams across state lines. The consensus yesterday was that the loss would virtually destroy the $15 to $20 million industry which includes a $7 million a year business in Ocean County the state's leading clam producer. But state and federal legislators promised they would act quickly to preserve the threatened snipping rights.

The threat emerged after a week of rumors concerning a survey last month by the U.S. Public Health Service which Economic Development. It had been rumored the US-PHS had ordered the inadequacies corrected within two weeks or interstate shipment of clams would be prohibited. State Notified In fact, the state has been notified of the deficiencies, but Rep. William T.

Cahill. said he received a "commitment" yesterday from the US-PHS promising the state ample time to correct them. State Health and Conservation Department officials are to meet Monday to see what they can do to tighten up the state's program for enforcing clamming laws, Sen. William T. Hiering, R-5th, said yesterday.

He said he discussed the enforcement problem yesterday with Robert A. Roe, Commis sioner of the Department of Conservation and Economic Development, and felt afterwards the state will be able to meet the requirements. The survey was conducted by George Morrison. Water Supply and Sea Resources consultant of the USPHS's regional office in New York. His assistant, Thomas Hush-ower, explained yesterday the survey is part of an annual See LOSS Page 4 putting them there primarily to help a lost motorist find himself, you're absolutely wrong.

It's all part of a new system, said a spokesman for the state. The signs are being put. up along nearly all 2,000 miles of state highways. The idea, he said, is to pin point accident locations so highway engineers can identify dangerous sections of highways and correct them. This is being done with the state and federal governments sharing the cost.

But the spokesman said he didn't know just what the final cost would be. What happens, he said, is that when a policeman arrives at the scene of an accident he records his mileage and then drives to the nearest sign post and computes the exact location of the accident. Ot course, said the spokesman, the signs should be of benefit in helping a motorist to know where he Is. However, there are a few things the motorist should know before relying on these signs, which the state says are accurate to MOOth of a mile. The numbers run either, from south to north or west to east depending on which direction the highway runs.

For example, someone driving west on Route 33 who spots the sign saying "37" can tell he is 37 miles away from the end of Route 33. The state places signs every mile on built portions of highways and counts the mileage from the start of the hiehwav See SURVEY Page 2 Shore Marine Wounded By Red Shrapnel FREEHOLD Marine Lance Cpl.

One senator unwilling to be quoted by name said he looks for an effort by some senators to try the case in the press in hopes of winning public sympa thy for the Connecticut Democrat.
