Meanwhile, North Vietnam claimed today that it was receiving war supplies by sea thiough 12 "coastal points" which, Hanoi said, the United States has not been able to blockade by mines or ships. Radio Hanoi, in a broadcast monitored in Hong Kong, also said that U.S. bombing had failed to halt rail shipments. Rail lines are being repaired within hours after bombing attacks, the broadcast said. Elsewhere, thirty-two miles south of Hue, Communist gun-See SAIGON, Page A-5 munist troop emplacements.

In another war-related development, North Vietnam claimed, that American war-planes yesterday bombed and strafed residential areas of Hanoi, killing and wounding many persons and destroying hundreds of homes. It said two US. F4 Phantom jets were shot down. The U.S. Command in Saigon acknowledged heavy raids in the Hanoi region, but denied that there had been any civilian targets.

The command also said it had no plane losses to report in yesterday's attack. It is U.S. policy to delay reports of downed craft until Yesterday, U.S. warplanes flying path-clearing missions for the paratroop advance accidentally bombed a government position, killing 10 soldiers and wounding 30. The U.S.

Command said the incident, the first of its kind since the government thrust into the province began, occurred five miles southeast of the city. The command had few other details. The accident marred a massive air mission involving 36 U.S. B52 bombers that dumped about 900 tons of explosives late yesterday and early today on suspected Com fir V-i i A.

Paterson A 'Mi-; AAsWiiisssSsiS iSAn i- 0 A From The Record Wire Services SAIGON Lead elements of South Vietnamese paratroopers and marines moved into Communist-held Quang Tri City today and reported that the city had been leveled by bombing. Military sources said the troops entered the citadel, the fortress in the middle of the city, and encountered little resistance. Five miles east of the city, government troops whose push to recapture Communist-held Quang Tri Province is now eight days old repulsed North Vietnamese counterattacks, Saigon spokesmen said. South Vietnamese marines backed by allied planes, artillery, and naval gunfire killed 57 Communist troops without any casualties of their own. Two miles southeast of Quang Tri City, a battalion of about 500 Communists led by 18 tanks attacked government troops.

At about the same time, another battalion attacked seven miles east of the city. No casualty reports were available on either skirmish. United Press International correspondent Barney Seibert reported that the troops entering Quang Tri City radioed that it had been leveled by bombardment. Heavy naval and aerial bombing preceded the North Vietnamese capture of the province, South Vietnam's northernmost, on May 1. And the city has been pounded by many rounds during the government drive to retake the city.

The province fell to the Communists a month after they launched their offensive in South Vietnam on March 30. Quang Tri is the only province still in North Vietnamese hands. Correspondent Seibert said that the attacking lead elements were followed closely by the main body of a para-troop vanguard 1,000 men strong and backed by tanks. The main body pushed forward from positions half a mile south of the city, Seibert said. Staff Photo by R.

Clinton Taplin FIND BOY'S BODY Divers enter turbulent water of a Holiday death New City stream in which Robert Coyle, 13, drowned. toll tops 1,000 By The Record Staff The death toll from motor vehicle accidents and other mishaps during the July Fourth weekend stands at 1,006 nationally and 21 in New Jersey. A breakdown of fatal accidents nationally: Traffic: 723 Drownings: 188 Planes: 14 Other: 81 At least two area victims were known to have drowned, and two others may have met the same fate. In New Jersey, at least. 15 persons were killed in motor vehicle accidents.

This was not viewed as particularly high, the Associated Press said. One reason for this, the AP said, is that for many persons it was just a normal weekend off plus a day off yesterday and not a straight four day holiday. John D. Lawlor, executive vice-president tf the National Safety Council, said today that the final traffic toll fell far short of the preholiday estimate that between 800 and 900 persons would die. "We hope that this is an indication that the recent federal law having to do with control of the driver and improved roads and a safer automobile is taking effect," Lawlor said.

The record toll for any Independence Day weekend was 732 in 1967 when the holiday also ran four days. The count last year, a three-day weekend, was 638. One area drowning occurred Bergen By GEORGETTE JASEN btf Writer An 18-year-old Marine from Hasbrouck Heights, home for the holiday weekend, was stabbed to death at an East Paterson gas station after exchanging angry words with three youths in a car. John W. Condos Jr.

There had been a dispute between the occupants of the two vehicles on the road, police report, and one car was driven into the station, at Midland Avenue and Market Street, near the Saddle Brook border. The other car followed. A witness said the cars had been going west on Market Street. Condos got out of the car, police said, approached the other car, and was stabbed in the left rib area.

His friend, whose identity was withheld, drove Condos to Saddle Brook Hospital, where he was dead on arrival at 11:36 p.m. Monday. Condos, a lance corporal, was to return last night to the Second Marine Aircraft Wing at Cherry Point, N.C. repudiate Rick Stearns, one of his campaign aides, for saying he favored a third party to punish Humphrey should the Minnesota senator win the presidential nomination.

U.S. District Court Judge George L. Hart Monday refused to overturn Democratic Credentials Committee decisions ousting 151 McGovern California delegates and 59 uncommitted delegates from Illinois headed by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. Frank Mankiewicz, McGovern 's national political director, on the CBS radio Program "Capitol Cloakroom," said there is still hope the competing Illinois delegations can reach a compromise and that something can be worked out to seat them both.

We are both bad boys," Euwe said. The Russians said Euwe should have disqualified Fischer when he failed to show up for the first game Sunday. At the time, Euwe broke the rules to save the match, but the Russians made no objection. There is a certain otherworldly quality about this elderly Dutchman which so far has served to defuse the tension in these preliminary struggles. Asked whether he accepts the Russian charges against him, he said: Confesses all "They say I am violating all the rules.

Of course I agree with them." Both Euwe and Schmid refused to specify what the Rus-s i a complaints were, and Euwe indicated they were vague.

There was no clear motive for the stabbings, police said. Police identified the man as Charles Smith, 23, of Buffalo. He descended the stairs of an empty American Airlines 707 jet at about 7:45 a.m., smoking a cigarette and cradling the little girl in his arms. At the foot of the steps, he flicked away the cigarette, handed the girl to a policeman, and was taken away in handcuffs.

"He feels he's done nothing wrong." A tactical more? It was not clear whether the Russians were simply adopting new tactics to regain the psychological edge for the 35-year-old Spassky. The Americans had asked for the postpone of the first 24 matches for the world crown last Sunday. "I am not clear on what the situation is," confessed Euwe. "I don't understand it myself."

TOi3 If JV'ftV A By TOM DUGGAN Staff Writer If you happen to be looking for a New Jersey Democratic party leader, don't bother looking among the delegates at the Democratic National Convention. Traditionally, the a 's convention delegate list reads like a who's who of party notables. This year it reads like a "who's that?" In 1968, party leaders in Bergen, Morris, and Somerset Counties and parts of Union and Essex Counties were defeated in the primary by "grass-root" delegates supporting Sen.

Eugene J. McCarthy. This year, virtually every state Democratic official supported the presidential aspirations of someone other than Sen. George S. McGovern.

As a result of Mc-Govern's sweeping victory, few party leaders will be among the voting delegates. But rather than sitting home and sulking, most party lead WAITING GAME Bobby Fischer, who's now in Iceland, is shown at practice chessboard in United States last month.
