4A Minneapolis Tribune rhurr.Dec. 21,1972 LEAVING planes, a relatively heavy rate of firing Following a tactic first developed last spring, the North Vietnamese are firing the missiles in salvos or barrages, a costly method that carries the advantage of providing a sort of shotgun-like firing pattern. Friedheim reported that three of the B52s lost thus far apparently were hit by AM2s, an anticraft missile specifically developed by the Russians as a defense against U.S. strategic bombers. The loss of the fourth B52 was reported in Saigon early today by a spokesman who said he thought it was hit by a surface-to-air missile.

One of the lost B52s crash-landed in Thailand and its crew was rescued. Two others crashed in the Hanoi area, with both of the six-man crews missing. The plane reported lost today was hit over North Vietnam but flew to Thailand, where the crew bailed out. 1 I ST.

Mr. Nixon waited for more than 72 hours but received no reply from Hanoi, the South Vietnamese informants said. The mining was resumed Sunday, the bombing Monday. Kissinger told a Washington news conference Saturday that the agreement was 99 percent complete, but did not specify what the 1 percent difference was. The South Vietnamese officials said the 1 percent is a fundamental point of principle and involves Hanoi's recognition of South Vietnam as an independent state.

These officials said Kissinger told Tho that the agreement must, be reached on the basis that South Vietnam is an independent state and North Vietnam must agree in principle to recognize this and not attempt to intervene militarily after a cease-fire. Bombing Continued from 1A From both the intensity of the bombing as well as the administration's tiht secrecy about the details, it increasingly -was becoming apparent that in addition to a military objective of disrupting North Vietnamese supply lines, the bombing also has a politi-c a 1 and psychological objective of forcing Hanoi into a more conciliatory position in the peace negotiations. The White House said Monday that the raids would "continue until such time as a settlement is arrived at." Yesterday, Friedheim clearly indicated there would be no bombing lull during the Christmas season, as 1 1 occurred in the pre-1968 bombing period. "We are early in this engagement," Friedheim said, suggesting the bombing will continue for the indefinite future. One clue to the administration's underlying intentions came in the decision, which Pentagon officials suggested was reached at the White House level, to include the giant B52 strategic bombers in the sustained bombing of the Hanoi-Haiphong area, even at the risk that some would be shot down.

The current bombing campaign marks the first time that the B52s have been used over Hanoi, the most heavily defended area in North Vietnam. The effect, perhaps intended, is to bring the thunderous attack of the bombers within the sight and sound of the leaders of North Vietnam. In contrast to the Navy and Air Force fighter-bombers that strike at individual targets, the B52s lay down a pattern of saturation bombing of a target area. The normal flight of three B52 bombers, for example, will drop about 70 tons of bombs over an area about six-tenths of a mile wide and 1.87 miles long. When asked whether it was not "inevitable," in view of the characteristics of B52 bombing patterns, that some civilian centers would be struck, Friedheim replied: "No, we don't strike civilian targets." He then amende'd his comment to state "we target only military targets" and emphasized that past instances of hitting civilian targets had been "very limited." In the past the B52 bombers generally have been used over areas not very-heavily defended, such as North Vietnam's southern panhandle, and usually have attacked coastal targets, thus permitting them to make a quick bombing run and retreat before the North Vietnamese defenses were raised.

The one exception was last April, shortly after the North Vietnamese offensive began, when about 20 B52s struck petroleum storage sites on the outskirt of Haiphong. Defense officials attributed the loss of the B52 bombers to the fact that they were now operating over a heavily defended area rather than to any unexpected advances in North Vietnamese air defense capabilities. Friedheim reported that during the first two days of the bombing, about 100 surface-to-air SAM2 missiles were fired each day at the attacking American Vlri JV Tr" ST AW8 Associated Press Firemen and rescue workers a North Central Airlines DC9 O'Hare International Airport Casey Continued from page 1A About 12 years ago he was fired by Ch. 1 1 when it was an ABC affiliate, and network shows took over his time period. But the announcement touched off 10,000 letters to the station and he was rehired within the week.

Dwyer, who had rheumatic fever as a child and yet became a comedian-acrobat with the Ice Capades, said he may produce children's programs for stations in the region, but he was not at liberty to announce details yesterday. "I plan to try in some capacity to be of value to children in the community," he said. The team has had a massive following. They make as many outside appearances as all the other Twin Cities i 1 re 's stars put together. Their following has spread through the Midwest because WTCN's signal is carried on cable television systems in about 100 communities in the five-state region.

Casey and Roundhouse do literally hundreds of guest appearances a year: "I've been at almost every church and school and civic function in Minnesota," Awsumb said. They are frequent visitors at hospitals and charitable functions and annually do their Casey at the bat act during the Minnesota Twins bat days. At one time they played three shows a day. Lately they have been on "Wake Up With Casey" from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. weekdays and the lunch show six noons a week.

Awsumb has been working seven days a week, including a full 40 hours as booth announcer. The company decision was given to them yesterday morning. Before the noon show Dwyer made a scheduled appearance at Dow-ling School and Awsumb went to the home of a WTCN employee who had suffered a stroke. He took with him a $435 collection from fellow workers and one of the turkeys that Channel 11 gives to employees asaChristmas bonus. Casey started the noon show as usual yesterday.

"Hi, gang, this is your old buddy, Casey Jones" Then Awsumb told viewers that he would be going off Minneapolis 1 searched the wreckage of that crashed at Chicago's Wednesday night. the air at the end of next week and "I want to thank people for watching." The telephone response lasted for several hours as viewers made comments on the impending death of the longest-running live show in Twin Cities history. Fransen said that he expects "a lot of people will comment" on the dismissals, but "TV goes in cycles and the cycle could switch around back again." WTCN has gone through several adjustments since Metromedia took charge among them station identifications. Although Fran-sen said WTCN still has an interest in sports, it has dropped the 50 summer Minnesota Twins broadcasts because of apparent declining interest and viewing. WCCO-TV has bought Twins rights for the next two seasons with a shortened 30-game TV season, all road games.

Awsumb said he was told that Metromedia, which bought the station last summer and promised considerable changes in its programming, had a company policy against live children's hosts in its group of stations. But Fransen said there is no firm policy. Into the 7:30 morning slot WTCN will put an hour of cartoons without a host.

"I wasn't scared. I knew we -were going to get out of it." O'Hare, the world's busiest commercial air terminal, was closed down following the crash. It had been closed much of the day by fog. Nixon Continued from page 1A He said he is "still concerned about exercise" meaning the President's failure to exercise regularly, but noted that Mr. Nixon has "never missed a day's work because of illness." Mr.

Nixon's weight is 173 pounds, the same as 20 years ago. Dr. Tkach disclosed some details of the President's health, noting that his blood pressure 110 over 80 was down slightly from last year but "within the normal range." Mr. Nixon's pulse rate was 72, rising to 80 just after exercising and returning to 72 within one minute. He said he has urged the President to go to Florida every month for some swimming, but indicated that the President gets no consistent i beyond running in place every morning.

He "still refuses to play golf I would like to see him walk more." But he said Mr. Nixon has "no problem" sleeping, averaging six to seven hours on week nights and eight to nine hours on weekends. He takes no vitamins and is on "no medication whatsoever," Dr. Tkach said. Rockets hit embassy Unidentified persons fired two rockets at the U.S.
