Gong Stung in Sharp Fights Marines found 38 bodies on one muddy battleground this morning and were still turning up others. A series of other clashes near the. coast resulted in 31 more Communist deaths at a cost of three Marines killed and 11 wounded.

The other 61 were killed further inland. Another American success was reported in the central highlands where troops of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division found 94 bodies near the "The day I became Prime Minister' replied Ky. That was in June, 1965. "I took it because nobody else wanted it." "If you become president, will you accept an opposition party?" Ky laughed.

"Certainly," he said. ''I'm used to opposition. All I've had since I've been in office is opposition." CORRUPTION FIGHTER What about corruption? "So long as the world is round," said Ky, "there will be corruption. But there is too much corruption in Vietnam." "During the last 19 months I've done a lot to fight it. Only this morning I fired two province chiefs for corruption.

Some day soon I'm going to hold a press conference and tell people what I've done to fight corruption. You can't have social justice and have corruption." Is Ky afraid that domestic pressures during the 1968 presidential elections will force President Johnson to seek a compromise settlement of the war that might favor the Communists? "We will have had elections before you do," Ky replied. "The President of the United States will have to deal with a Constitutionally elected government of Vietnam and not," he said wryly, "with a military dictator."

But does Ky consider his youth a political liability? "No, I don't think so," he said. "After all, I've had nearly two years of O.J.T. on the job training). To me it's more like 10 years. I'm 37 by the Vietnamese calendar and Mai says I look 60." Ky was reminded of his past reputation as a lady-killer.

He once complained that the charge was unjust. "I've never killed a lady in my life," he said, "but many a lady has killed me." ''I said that, all right," Ky acknowledged with a smile and a shrug. "But all that is over now. I'm a happily married man." LBJ PORTE AIT Ky, lighting another cigarette, sat flanked by eight telephones and a color portrait of LBJ. Running the length of the wall behind him was a photomural aerial view of Dalat, a nearby mountain resort On another wall was another photomural showing the wave-washed beach at Nhatrang.

"According to Vietnamese legend," Ky explained, "the Vietnamese people sprang from a marriage between a fairy and a dragon only in our mythology the dragon was the lady and the man the fairy. "She gave birth to 100 children. Fifty boys followed their father to the mountains while the 50 girls followed their mother to the sea. Hence the pictures of the mountains and the sea." What about with Hanoi? negotiations "Is there anything to negotiate?" Ky countered. "I doubt if there is.

If Ho Chi Minh comes to a conference table all he can do is give up his claim to South Vietnam. He can't afford to do that. That's why he won't nego-tiat-" CONG TO FADE AWAY Then how will the war end? Will the Viet Cong eventually fade out the way they faded in? "Probably," said Ky. "But that will take a long time. That's why I'd like to see an international conference with international guarantees that North Vietnam won't attack us again.

Pestilence Hits Hard At China HONG KONG (UPI) Communist Chinese radio broadcasters have admitted for the first time that pestilence is stalking the land. Shanghai radio called for "masses" of doctors and nurses to act "in the present Spring period of many con-tageous diseases erupting and flowing from place to place." The health crisis rose as Peking radio announced the formation of a "congress of revolutionary workers" in the Communist Chinese capital.

The Shanghai and other Communist Chinese broadcasts heard here blamed the disease rampage on medical workers not following, Mao's orders, for the care, of-the country's 700 million persons. The radio admissions followed many reports by Peking's official New China news agency and provincial broadcasts giving strong indications health conditions appeared to be deteriorating. Hong Kong is suffering an epidemic of German measles. More than 2000 cases have been reported so far this year. Doctors said 400 persons have died here of the disease.

The heavily populated eastern' and southern areas of China appeared centers of the health crisis, according to the broadcasts. Meanwhile from New Delhi came reports that a raging smallpox epidemic has killed more than 1000 persons in the Indian state of Bihar, according to health officials.

Street Floor Separates PEABODY FRAMINGHAM 'til 9 Easter it I'rin' SAIGON (UPI) A series of sharp firefights broke out just south of the demilitarized zone (DMZ) today be--tween U.S. Marines and North Vietnamese troops. Communist gunfire hit seven helicopters used in flying wounded Leathernecks from one of the battlefields. In one action, Communist troops opened another mor tar barrage against the huge American Long Time artillery pieces at Gio Linh which have been firing across the D.M.Z. into North Vietnam.

Other Communists attacked a Marine battalion at nearby Con Thein. Superior American firepower was reported taking a heavy toll of Communist lives in the battles being fought in a blinding rain- storm, but final figures were not in. At least 130 North Vietnamese were reported killed against light U.S. losses. There was no immediate word as to the number of American casualties suffered when Communist machine-gun and rifle fire ripped into the rescue helicopters.

The rains were so heavy the wounded had to wait for hours to be flown out. Incomplete reports said 11 Marines were killed and 59 wounded in the ground action in which the Communists fired 50 rounds of 82 millimeter mortars into the Gio Linh defenses. Fighting also flared near Da Nang, nearly 100 miles south of the DMZ, and Ma rines in an action 32 miles southeast of the big base killed 61 communists without takm casualty- A force of 400 to 500 Communists attacked a Marine squad which held off the attack' until reinforcements moved in to break up the Red assault. The North Vietnamese have massed at least three full divisions in the DMZ which separates North and South Vietnam and have elements f. tw0 others in un- tainous area west of Da Nang.

Marines there have clashed repeatedly with Communist troops trying to swarm across the zone into South Vietnam. The Communists have made repeated attacks against the 175mm American guns at Gio Linh, but have been unable to knock them out. In the past few days the Communists have started using artillery for the first time to join their mortars and Chinese Communist rockets.
