Analysts attributed the broad advance to the President's com' merits Friday that he would hope that Federal Reserve Board could ease monetary restrictions. The restraints, implemented to stem inflation, have been a major market dampener in the last year.

CLAIM 500 REDS KILLED IN BATTLES SAIGON (AP Allied forces claimed they killed more than 500 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops over the weekend in the heaviest fighting in six months. The allies reported 21 Americans and 20 South Vietnamese killed, with 160 Americans and 99 South Vietnamese wounded in mone than 100 enemy rocket, mortar and ground attacks.

U.S. military spokesmen, assessing the battlefield reports, said the enemy command had launched a pre-Tet "highpoint" of activity along the populous coastal lowlands south of Da Nang and in the Central Highlands. Two American helicopters were downed, with five U.S. and six South Vietnamese killed and seven Americans wounded. The surge of enemy activity Came only a few days before the 40th anniversary Tuesday of the founding of the Vietnamese Communist party and the start Thursday of a four-day fire that the Viet Cong proclaimed for Tet, the festival of the lunar new year.
