Merriam, in a sworn statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, said of the memo as published by Anderson with a date of June 25, 1971: "I did not receive this alleged mem-. orandum from Mrs. Beard on June 25, 1971, or at any other time." But in the March 3 interview, the Sun quoted Wilson as saying: "Merriam personally told me last Monday that he got the memo." Wilson, a friend of Mrs.

Beard and of ITT President Harold S. Geneen, said he was "sure as can be" that Mrs. Beard was into writing the memo by Merriam and Edward J. Ger-rity, an ITT senior vice president in charge of public relations, the Sun reported. The Sun said Wilson described what he called a plot by Merriam and Garrity to get Mrs.

Beard fired, because she had access to Geneen that they did not. Wilson said in the interview, the newspaper reported, that "she would tell Mr. Geneen, 'Goddammit, Hal, you're just as wrong as can be'." The Sun then quotes Wilson directly as saying: "Everybody else is scared to death of him, and she just tells him what she thinks and he respects somebody like that." The Sun said Wilson added that two years ago the ITT aides tried to isolate Mrs. Beard, refused to let her talk the planes and ships of the 7th Fleet was ordered by President Nixon. Scores of warplanes streaked north of the DMZ to PAGE ONE Good Evening, 1 Beard or "with told Geneen she was sick.

Wilson is quoted as saying that he told Geneeiu "There Is" not -a more effective lobby- ist for any company in Wash- ington than Dita Beard," and that Geneen responded, "I know it, and she's going to have her job with me as long as she wants." 10 Yanks killed in week FROM PAGE ONE when 21 Americans were reported killed. South Vietnamese casualties last week totaled 466 killed, 1,073 wounded and 75 missing in action, the Saigon government reported. The previous average for the year had been 300 killed, and the higher fig-u reflected stepped-up fighting in the northern provinces before the Commuinst offensive that began last Thursday. The Saigon command also claimed that 2,150 enemy troops, were killed during the week and 80 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese were captured. The South Vietnamese reported 1,981 enemy killed the previous week.

The Allied commands now have reported these total casualties for the war: American 45,679 killed in action, 302,820 wounded, 10,123 dead from nonhostile action. South Vietnamese 137,813 killed in action, 347,707 wounded. North Vietnamese and Viet killed.

It was the first mass onslaught against North Vietnam since late December, when the downing of four American fighter-bombers within two days touched off a five-day retaliatory attack. Since then one, two or three Americans planes have been attacking antiaircraft batteries and radar stations in North Vietnam almost daily. Preparations for the new big attack began last weekend, when the U.S. Command recalled the carrier Kitty Hawk from leave in the Philippines. All week scores of planes have been streaking across the border to hit scattered missile batteries, but heavy cloud cover delayed the start of the big offensive until today.

The U. S. Command announced that American fighter-bombers carried out 287 strikes Wednesday and today inside South Vietnam against Notrh Vietnamese forces below the DMZ, in the central highlands and north of Saigon. Spokesmen said that while the strikes are being carried 7th Fleet destroyers shelled enemy positions from offshore. At least five destroyers and three aircraft carriers with more than 200 planes were committed to the offensive, along with more than 200 Air Force planes from bases in rhailand and South Vietnam.

The planes also attacked the North Vietnamese invaders in South Vietnam's northernmost provinces and adjacent areas Laos. The U.S. Command made no mention of any planes being shot down. U.S. sources said the targets in the North included antiaircraft batteries and radar stations, surface-to-air missile sites and long-range artillery guns that have been firing across the DMZ at South Vietnamese forces.

The U.S. Command said the attacks were "in response to the invasion of the Republic of South Vietnam by North Vietnamese forces who crossed the demilitarized zone." It added that they were ordered "to help protect the lives of, diminishing U.S. forces."

SPECIAL ON THREE len's Styles Famous Name Brand BELGRADE (AP) Belgrade may change its mind about refusing to stage the up-, coming world chess championship match between Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union and Bobby Fischer of the United States provided the U.S. Chess Federation deposits a $35,000 guaranty against Fischer's nonappearance, a city spokesman said today. "If the-Americans agree to deposit $35,000 that Fischer will arrive to play his match, we would be ready to get the entire machine rolling again," organizer Aleksandar Matanovic said." The newspaper Politika Ek--spres said Matanovic stressed that efforts of Paul Marshall, Fischer's new representative, to get better financia terms for the American chess wizard are futile. "There is nothing we can talk about with him," Matanovic said, i Fischer has agreed to abide by the decision of the International Chess; 'Federation to play half the 24 title matches in Reykjavik, Iceland, and half in Belgrade but still is haggling over Fischer's financial demands induced the Belgrade organizers early last week to cancel plans to hold the match starting June 22, as scheduled.

Fischer has insisted that all profits from the match after expenses, be divided equally between himself and Spassky. The original agreement called for 72 per cent of the $138,500 purse to be handed to the winner, with 28 per cent for the loser. Matanovic told the Politika Ekspres that only an insurance policy against ill-health would be required from the Russian, the current world champion.

preme Court judge has ruled. The decision Tuesday by Justice George Starke means the 42-year-old Egan is eligible for an annual retirement pension of $6,800. Egan had filed for retirement but instead was dismissed from the force without a pension on departmental charges, that mainly involved violations of procedure for reporting and storing property seized in arrests. Starke declared, "This court is satisfied that dismissal was a punishment so disproportionate to the offense as to be shocking to one's sense of Area Poultry: Egg Market EGGS: Market unsettled, sentiment Is weak.

There was no immediate comment from Radio Hanoi on the large-scale attack today, but an earlier broadcast claimed North Vietnamese gunners shot down five U. S. planes between Sunday and Tuesday including two B52 bombers and three F4 Phan-ton fighter-bombers.

The U. S. Command said it had no reports of any B52 bombers or Phantoms being shot down during that period although it has announced the loss of three helicopters and 12 crewmen south of the DMZ since Sunday. Informed sources said the only U.S. air support available is a squadron of American A37s, which are mall subsonic fighter-bombers, and some helicopter gunships.

The sources said the South Vietnamese air force's planes are all in the north and the highlands, and the bulk of the U.S. jets and helicopter gunships also were operating above and below the DMZ.
