Enemy casualties also were said to be heavy.

The military command also reported these other actions: Near Sambau, 25 miles north of Phnom Penh, a Cambo dian unit was attacked and first reports said it lost one killed and five wounded. At TunloD. 70 miles south of the capital near the South Vietnamese border, a major battle was reported still raging after more than 12 hours. A spokes man said he had no word on casualties nor could he say the size of the units involved. Under Mortar Fire The provisional capital of Kompong Thorn, 80 miles north of Phnom Penh, was attacked by mortar fire, but there were no immediate reports of casual ties.

Near Kiri Rom, 59 miles southwest of the capital, heavy fighting was continuing along Highway 4, Phnom Penh's only link to the deepwater port of Kompong Som. But the northern front provid ed the most worry for the Cam bodian general staff. The situation in the north was partly reflected by a sign erect ed at the western entrance to the Prek Kdam ferry, 20 miles north of Phnom Penh. The sign showed a white skull and cross- bones against a black back ground, a warning to any who might want to cross the Mekong River.

While the Labor party opposi tion hurled charges in the House of Commons of "gross political interference" in the manage ment of Britain post office, 3,000 engineers and technicians demonstrated in Hyde Park and Parliament Square.

Center of the storm was Vis count Hall, who had run the post office since it became a public corporation in October 1969. Chris Chataway, minister of posts and communications in the Conservative government, fired Lord Hall last Tuesday only hours before the post office announced a deficit of nearly $38.4 million for its first corpo rate year. The demonstrations were to protest a rumored selling of profitable postal operations to private business. U.S. Awaits Saigon Nod On Ceasefire WASHINGTON (AP) The United States will be guided by South Vietnam's decision on a holiday ceasefire this year and the chances are it will follow last year's pattern of a one-day truce at Christmas and the New Year.

Officials Monday declined to comment on the North Vietnam announcement that its forces will observe a three day truce at Christmas and the New Year and a four day truce at Tet, the lunar new year at the end of January. Last year Saigon announced the truce plans for the holiday season on Dec. 4 and Hanoi followed on the next day. This year Hanoi apparently took the initiative with an early announcement. There are no negotiations or agreements between the two sides on the holiday ceasefires.

Each side merely declares what its forces will observe. U.S. forces normally are given instructions not to fire unless fired upon. i i til i- that Judson's also REPAIR Lon Nol's government falls to its knees," one diplomat said.

That became a strong bility following last week's games in which Kansas City tied Oakland for the lead in American Conference West with a 6-3-2 record and Los Angeles tied San Francisco for the lead In National Conference West at 7-3-1.

Enemy forces were digging in just outside Phnom Penh's outer defense perimeter, 20 miles to the north, after a three-week-old offensive that has isolated about 30,000 government soldiers as far as 50 miles away from the capital. Some Across Channel While an enemy force of unknown size was on the eastern side of the flood-swollen Tonle Sap River, other units were re ported already across the channel in a position to strike at gov ernment defenders north of Phnom Penh.

Enemy soldiers also were putting heavy pressure on isolated government units, especially just west of Kompong Cham on Highway 7 near the district capital of Prey Totung, 50 miles north of Phnom Penh. The Cambodian command said government troops pushing out of the surrounded town were 652 National Holiday Deaths Are Recorded By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The four-day Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend cost 652 lives in traffic accidents. The worst of the heavy travel period that began at 6 p.m. EST Wednesday and ended at midnight Sunday occurred on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Friday night. Nine persons were killed.

California rolled up a record toll of 95 deaths. The old mark of 84 was set in 1964 over the July 4 weekend. The nationwide death count by The Associated Press fell short of the advance estimate of the National Safety Council. It calculated between 670 and 770 persons would lose their lives. The record high of 764 traffic tatalities was set over the Thanksgiving Day weekend of 1968.

This was the most for any holiday period in history. The lowest Thanksgiving toll was 442 in 1960. Last year the AP count was 686. Six of Road Crew Killed In Louisiana FENTON, La.

There have been frequent reports that Allen would not be back despite his winning record with the club. The coach took note of these rumors, as he said: Calls It Sabotage "I think it is a terrible thing for anyone to try to sabotage our football team. If we were in last place, it would be something else.

"But here we are driving for a championship. My only job is trying to do a great job for our team, not just a good job." After beating San Francisco 30-13, the Rams are tied with the 49ers In the National Football Conference western division, each with 7-3-1 records. If the over all tally should remain tied at the end of the campaign, the Rams would be the team to go to the NFL playoffs if they can beat New Orleans at the Coliseum on Sunday. Better Record That would be predicated on the fact Los Angeles will have a better record than the 49ers in the four-team western set-up. "The victory over San Francisco was our most important in five years," Allen declared.

"If we had lost, the season would have been over for us. Now we have to win again this week." The writers honored three Rams as Players-of-the-Week. Running back Willie Ellison, who scored three touchdowns in San Francisco, linebacker Jack Pardee and defensive back Jim Nettles were those named. Called Signals Pardee had to take over the defensive signal calling when Maxie Baughan re-injured a foot and Nettles replaced Clancy Williams when the latter was shaken up. Bob Chandler, Southern California's flanker back, won the honors as the university Player-of-the-Week following the Trojans' 38-28 upset victory over Notre Dame.
