EDITOR'S NOTE Where do the United States and its allies stand in Vietnam at the start of 1967 compared i ihe start of 1966? How has the situation changed this year? Here is an analysis by one of the most experienced reporters in Vietnam, winner of a Pditer Prize for his reporting from that country. By PETER ARNETT SAIGON, South Vietnam -This has been the bloodiest year of the Vietnam war.

Allied commanders have i i about what 1967 will bring. An estimated 77,000 soldiers have fallen on the battlefields of Vietnam in 1966, two-thirds more than in the previous year.

However, I do think it's good at this time of year to lake a sort of inventory of the months past, and write down the trends, attitudes and habits we want to continue cultivating, and the improvements we'd i to make, as well as the mistakes we want to avoid. For some reason, writing things down impresses them on our minds.

So if we just make a few notes of ur hopes and aspirations for he coming year, it may help us achieving our goals. At least may not forget so quickly Oh, yes, I always sit up to welcome the New Year.
