OIT) The Peace Corps is angry with local draft boards that call corpsmen up from overseas for military service. Peace Corps Director Jack Hood Vaughn, in a speech Thursday at Utah State University in Logan, took issue with the policy cf some local draft boards, declaring that corpsmen were "second to no other American" including soldiers in Viet Nam.

am ready to dispute anyone on that point, including 4,000 draft boards if it comes to that," Vaughn said. "Perhaps I am loading the question, but I believe that if I could ask our young men combat a single question about the Peace Corps, it would be this: 'If it were in your power to defer, for two years, a qualified man whose service elsewhere might in some very small way lessen the chances of this kind of thing happening again would vou do "I believe the answer would be Vaughn said. To date, onlv Phillip J. Wagner, 24, of Felton, a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru, has been inducted. Ten others have been granted deferments, four are facing callup, and 21 are in an "unresolved" category.

Mrs. Ethel Bv ROBERT SAIGON, South Viet Nam if) Waves of B52 bombers struck Communist positions in South Viet Nam today in three raids that ranged from near Saigon to the northern edge of the country. The triple blow was part of a stepped-up B52 campaign. The Pentagon disclosed last week that 20 more of the big bombers have been added to the 30 Stratoforts based on Guam, 2,000 miles from South Viet Nam And in one raid on the North Thursday, U.S. fighter-bombers were attacked by Communist M3G interceptors only six miles northeast of the center of Hanoi The MIGs fired heat-seeking air-to-air missiles but failed to score hits, a U.S.

Berlin WEST BERLIN, Germany An East German family of five slipped on foot through Communist border barriers before dawn today and escaped into the American sector of West Berlin, police reported. The Potsdam butcher and his wife, both 37, heaved their two daughters, 10 and 7, over the last obstacle, a barbed-wire fence. Then they climbed through with their 18-year-old son. Police said the family set off alarms as they climbed through the fense, and East German border guards fired shots, but none of the family was hit. Their only wounds were scratches from the barbed wire.

The family escaped at a spot where the spotlight of the nearest border watch-tower could not catch them as they passed through the 400 yard cleared "death strip" and then through the barbed wire. But the father told a West Berlin customs official: "We had no plan for the escape. We just marched off and hoped that it would somehow succeed. And it did succeed." DIRECTORS NAMED LA CROSSE, Wis.

UP) The United States expected a far bloodier Viet Nam war, it was learned today. Indications are that the Pentagon prepared for the worst, expecting perhaps dead this year and five times as many wounded. Casualties have been much lower although still running into staggering numbers more than 4,600 killed and 30,000 wounded in the past 11 months. A top source said that when the Pentagon began planning the big military buildup in Southeast Asia, statistical studies were conducted which projected U.S. losses at 200 casualties per day per 100,000 men.

The figure, derived from experience in World War II and the Korean conflict, was needed to determine possible replacement and medical demands. Simply stated, the computerized calculation showed the United States could expect for each 100,000 men in Viet Nam to sustain daily THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR 1(10 which r3 been Incorporated The irinecoclii Journal Pjbliihed oaMy except Sjidav. i Pcr-jnd Mjnn, 554o, bi the Minr.e:oct end Tribune Secf.a-e ast pss'sse POja ot r-esota.

50 wounded and 140 "non-hostile" casualties resulting from accident, disease or other causes. Actual figures have averaged three killed, 14 wounded and 75 nonhostile losses per day per 100,000 men, this source said. Averages are rather meaningless, however, when it comes to describing the war's toll of life. Defense Department statistics show that since the first of January, 4,639 Americans have been killed in Viet Nam, running the count since Jan. 1, 1961 to 6,236 as of last Saturday.

This does not include 1,436 men who have died in plane and helicopter accidents, and from disease or other causes not attributable to enemy action.
