We can't prove it because there is no way to assess it. But I am confident their casualties were heavy." "I don't think the enemy has given up his aggressive campaign," Westmoreland said. "He has had a severe setback. He has had heavy casulities. Hs has a weather problem.

"The enemy losses as seen at Con Thlen are great but he'll continue to send troops down to 'ill up the depleted ranks and try to rebuild his forces." The Communists had fired as many as 1,000 rounds a day at Con Thien and American gun ners, aided by saturation raids by B52 bombers, replied at times with 10 rounds for every one they received. Only few enemy rounds bit Marine positions today. V. S. Casualties The Marines, as well as the Communists, suffered heavy casualties.

More than 50 Americans were killed and about 1,000 wounded in the Con Thien area during the month-long siege. That is the equivalent of a battalion.

With the war's focus again on air action over North Vietnam, light and scattered ground ac' tion was reported throughout South Vietnam.

Air Force raiders also hit a railroad yard 14 miles southwest of the Chinese frontier.

The yard hooks into the northeast rail line, a vital supply link foi- goods moving from China into North Vietnam. It has been attacked over and over by U.S. warplanes. One ground clash occurred along South Vietnam's coastal plain 335 miles northeast of Sal' gon in Quang Tin Province, where troops of the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, fought sfac- hour battle with an enemy force ot unknown size. Fourteen of the enemy were reported killed.

The paratroopers lost two men killed and eight wounded, the U.S. Command said. Buddhist Opposition In political developments, Thich (Venerable) Tri Quang, leader of the militant Buddhist minority, completed a week of his antlgovemment sitdown iii a park facing Independence Pal ace.

"Neai'ly $35 million of annual mall revenue, the backbone of our passenger trains, will no longer be available to help support these trains, which were already marginal or operating at a loss," he said. "The loss of mall was a sudden and devastating blow." He said Santa Fe's passenger loss, under the formula for apportioning passenger train costs pi-escribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, was over $32 million in 1966 and would be "significantly greater" this year. Reed said the Santa Fe has spent $136 million since 1946 on passenger cars and locomotives, advertised and introduced numerous fare and service innovations in an effort to attract patronage. "Santa Fe did not abandon the traveling public travelers show an increasing preferenct to drive or fly," he said. DIRKSEN RIPS GOP CRITICS OF JOHNSON (Continued from Page One) they are fiSfgotten men, foi-got- ten at home." "I am not going to forget them," he said.

The GGOP leader criticized Morton, without naming him, for advocating an end to search-and-destroy missions and calling for U.S. concenti-a- tion on defending the population centers and ports of South Vietnam. Search-and-destroy, Dirksen said, "is the only real technique we have that is effective." Dirksen also challenged those Who advocate turning the Vietnam matter over to the United Nations. He held such a move would be vetoed by th6 Soviet Union in the Security Council. Republican senators backing U.N.

intervention have included Morton, Percy, John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky, George D. Aiken of Vermont and Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon, Defends Johnson In defending Johnson, Dirksen made several references to former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who also has backed Johnson on Vietnam. Of Morton's assertion that Johnson had been brainwashed by a military-industrial complex, Dirksen said, "I would hate to have heard that said of President Eisenhower." Terming the Republican party an umbrella with room for all shades of opinion, Dirksen said criticism should not go so far as to invade the constitutional powers of the President.

Morton has said he will support Dirksen for chairman of the 1968 GOP convention platform committee despite their differences over Vietnam. But whether other Republicans who have criticized the President will be happy to have a Johnson defender in that posUon remains to be demonstrated. Ruled Innocent in Traffic Case Larry L. Tate, of Mt.

Teacher Strike Leader Guilty NEW YORK United Federation of Teachers was fined $150,000, today and its president, Albert Shanker, sen- tenctid to 15 days in jail and fined $250 for criminal contempt of court in conducting a striko against the city 's public school system. The- sentencing, by Justice Emilio Nunez in State Supreme Courf, was viewed by the union as the first application of the punitive provisions of the state's new Taylor law, which bars strikes by public employes. Charges against two other union officials were dismissed by Nunez. The city's board of education had obtained an injunction against the strike under the new law, but it did not halt the of the union.

The fine thus amounts to about $3 per union member. Maximum penalties. under the law ai-e fines of $10,000 a day against the union and jail terms of up to 30 days and a $250 fine against leaders. The law has been assailed by the two-million State AFL-CIO. CIRCUIT COURT GOP NEEDS PEACE CANDIDATE PERCY Sputnik Birthday Space Station Before Moon Landing -Russ MOSCOW (AP) On tiie 10th anniversary of the first Sputnik, a Soviet cosmonaut predicted today that man will land on the moon within five or 10 years.

The U.S. space program calls for a landing in slightiy over two years. Konstantin P. Feofctistov, a scientist who orbited the earth three years ago, made his prediction amid anniversary articles in the Soviet press that emphasized prospects for manned stations in orbit but made a moon landing a later priority. This tended to support earlier indications that the Soviet Union is no longer, if it ever was, racing tMe United States to the moon.

Feoktistov listed a manned laboratory in orbit as first among coming space developments, then a moon landing, then "starting to Venus and Mars." JOHNSON TAX HIKE BILL SIDETRACKED (Continued from Page Onej Ways and Means action: "It's hopeless." He said that at present no tax increase would be approved by the committee or passed by the House, adding: "This looks to me like a first step to get a change. Even then a tax bill might not pass and I don't know what my position would be." The committee action, he said, represents "a realization that we can't have guns and butter at the same time."

WASHINGTON (AP) Sen, Charles H.

Percy, said today the Republicans should nominate for president nexi year "a credible, constructive alternative to Lyndon B. John son." Percy, a potential Illinois fa vorite son who has criticized President Johnson's handling ol the Vietnam war, gave thaf answer when he was asked if hj believed the GOP should pick a "peace candidate." "I think that the country ii convinced today that Lyndon Baines Johnson and the Johnson administration have carried this war on now for longer than we carried on aU of World War and without any possibility today of seeing any light at the end of the tunnel or any promise on their part that they can see an end to the war," Percy said. "I think tiiat any credible alternative will be a constructive one. I think that that candidate will have to indicate by some means or other that he will push and press to open up negotiating doors rather than think in a foolhardy promise that we can win the war militarily wlien I cannot see that we can have a military victory." The Illinois senator expressed his views in a taped interview with Chai-les Nicodemus Washington correspondent for the Qiicago Daily News. Percy was asked if he could support former Vice President Richard M.

Nixon, who backs Johnson's basic position that the war is being fought to contain Communist aggression, if Nixon were the GOP nominee.
