It was the third consecutive week that the deaths were fewer than 100. The casualty rate was at its lowest point in three years. The report said 384 South Vietnamese soldiers were killed, a sharp rise from the previous week; reflecting the U.S. effort to "Vietnamize" the war. rf? (lilt By GILBERT SEDBON Be uteri PARIS The Viet Cong yesterday made a bid for direct talks with the U.S.

aimed at ending the Vietnam war, but the U.S. apparently rejected the idea. I Chief U.S. negotiator Henry Cabot Lodge said after the 38th session of the peace talks that the National Liberation Front called for direct and private talks with U.S. representatives.

He told reporters he had answered the call by saying the U.S. was ready for private discussions involving all members of each side at the talks. Neither Lodge nor other American officials would answer directly when asked if this meant the U.S. was ruling out bilateral talks with the Viet Cong's self-styled Provisional Revolutionary Government. Lodge also failed to answer directly when a reporter asked him if there were a contradiction between his insistence on all parties taking part in any talks and previous U.S.

backing for the idea of private meetings between the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese government. (U.S. officials in Washington said Lodge was merely reaffirming past U.S. refusals to discuss the political future of South Vietnam without Saigon.)

Laird said yesterday the Pentagon contemplates keeping a "training and advisory force" of U.S. military personnel in South Vietnam after the war has ended. At an informal and unscheduled news conference, Laird refused to say how many American servicemen might remain but that the Pentagon did "not plan anything like" the level in Europe after World War II or the more than 50,000 troops remaining in But Laird did say the Vietnam force probably would be larger than the 6000 to 7000 U.S. military personnel who were there in the early years of the Kennedy administration, before former President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a major increase of U.S.

involvement. Asked whether he anticipated a U.S. military presence in Vietnam for many years, as in the case of Europe and Korea, Laird replied: "I didn't mean to give 'that impression." Asked whether North Vietnam might refuse to accept any "residual" U.S. force in the South, Laird replied that President Nixon had made it clear that the ultimate force level would be LAIRD Page 14 Total strangers embraced. Construction workers cheered from on high, amid the bare bones of new buildings.

Cars stopped in traffic were rocked by passersby. "Joy reigns triumphant in Metsville," said Queens Borough President Sidney Leviss in an official proclamation. "We're No. 1" shouted one young man. Wall Street messengers whooped with delight.

"Out of sight I knew they'd do it," cried a man in the garment district. METS Page 30 Associated Presa NEW YORK Big, blase New York went out of its mind in unrehearsed delirium yesterday and an avalanche of ticker "tape engulfed Manhattan as the once-lowly Mets won the World Series. The Mets won the fifth game, 5 to 3. "Bee-OOO-tee-ful" was the reaction from Shea Stadium to Staten Island, in an impromptu explosion of acclaim seldom if ever matched in the past. George Washington's statue across from the Stock Exchange suddenly was revealed with a Mets pennant in the outstretched right hand.

Other pennants waved all over town. By RICHARD H. STEWART Globe Washington Bureau WASHINGTON A long-time aide to House Speaker John W. McCormack was placed on leave without pay last night after he was linked to an attempt by a California firm to influence the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission to lift a ban on the sale of the firm's securities in the American Stock Exchange. McCormack himself confronted Martin Sweig, 46, with the allegations during a two-hour, closed door session in the Speaker's Capitol building office.

Sweig has worked for McCormack for 24 years as administrative assistant, the man responsible for the operation of the office. Closeted with McCormack and Sweig during the session was Edward J. McCormack of Massachusetts, the Speaker's nephew and former Bay State attorney general. Sweig left the meeting alone at 8 p.m., carrying a brief case. Stopped by a newsman, Sweig hurried along the darkened corridor and mumbled, "Something every minute." Shortly afterward, Edward McCormack left without comment.

Mr. Nixon's speech Associated WASHINGTON President Nixon's lottery plan to limit the draft to 19-year-olds was unanimously approved yesterday by the House Armed Services Committee and sent to the House for action late next week. Rep. Otis Pike said an attempt would be made on the House floor to write such an anti-deferment amendment into the bill.

He conceded its chances were slim. The speedy action on the plan indicated the chances for House approval are good and that the Senate might take up the bill before the end of the year. At the same time it rejected, 22 to 11, a proposal to end the virtually automatic four-year draft deferments which since 1967 have been granted to registrants going to college.

"Who will decide what are good genet and what are bad genes? Who will decide what rl- cr bad people?" he asked. GENETICS Page 2 Shares $75,000 Award For VirusResearch By VICTOR K.
