(AP)Only one of the quadruplets born Wednesday remained alive here late Thursday night. Doctors blamed deaths of the other three infants on their arrival nearly two months early to Mrs. John Mouser of Nelson County. The 35 year old mother was in good condition. The first infant to die was one of the two girls, who weighed one pound, 11 ounces at birth.

She died early Thursday. The largest of the four infants, a boy, died Thursday afternoon. He weighed two pounds, 10 ounces at birth. The second girl, weighing one pound, ounces at birth, died Thursday night. The Mousers have five other children, three boys and two girls, ranging in age from two to 12.

By ROBERT TUCKMAN SAIGON (AP) A South Vietnamese infantry battalion hurled back three suicidal charges by a North Vietnamese regiment today and reported 134 of the enemy killed in a jungle clearing 70 miles north of Saigon. The action near Phuoc Binh, capital of Phuoc Long Province, was the biggest ground battle in a week dominated by intense! U.S. air raids on North Viet-: nam. The U.S. Command announced that three U.S.

jets were shot down in Thurs-j raids and all three pilots were missing. This brought U.S. losses in the past three days to 10 planes and raised to 717 the total of U.S. combat planes officially reported lost over North Vietnam. American pilots reported shooting down two more enemy MIGs during raids on Hanoi Thursday, bringing their score to 24 Communist jets reported destroyed or damaged in the air and on the ground this week.

The U.S. Command made no report on raids today, but Tass, the Soviet news agency, indicated that Hanoi was hit again. A Tass dispatch from the North Vietnamese capital said that to preliminary antiaircraft units shot down six U.S. planes today Hanoi and its Viet For U.N. Mansfield Wins Support For Bid WEARY SENATOR majority leader Mike Mansfield relaxed his eyes during a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington Thursday.

The committee was considering resolution asking President Johnson to taking the appropriate for United Nations action in Telephoto. By ROBERT GRAY WASHINGTON (AP) Growing support for a resolution aimed at obtaining United Nations action on the Vietnam war is generating Capitol Hill speculation President Johnson might be receptive to the idea. The resolution sponsored by Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield has gained backing of 56 other and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, war policy backers and opponents. While the discreet language of the resolution would merely urge the President to consider directing U.S. representatives to the United Nations to seek action, its passage would be interpreted as an appeal to him to do so.

Approval would express the sense of the Senate and not be binding on the President. But one informed source said he doubted Mansfield would seek to put Johnson in a position of rejecting a suggestion for a possible step toward peace. The opposite appears to be the Board Committee Discusses Possible Cuts In Tax Levy Krueger Would Cut Funds For UW Escapade MADISON (AP) State Sen.

got a lot case, the source Mansfield expects the President would act on the resolution, with his hand strengthened by the strong support already indicated. Sen. Wayne Morse, one of the most outspoken critics of Johnson's Vietnam policies, advanced another reason why a resolution on U.N. action might be welcomed by the President. He said it be the best way of building bridges between Congress and the on the Vietnam issue.

Proposals to urge U.N. intervention have been advanced frequently at the Capitol but the administration has opposed trying to force Security Council action, arguing that any formal proposal was certain to be vetoed by the Soviet Union. Morse said Thursday at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that he had discussed the U.N. approach with Johnson and the President had shown intense interest. Morse said, however, that Johnson made no commitment on his course if a resolution urging U.N.

Wiley Is Dead At 83 PHILADELPHIA (AP)-Alexander Wiley, who was born to Norwegian immigrant parents in lumberjack country and grew up to represent the state for nearly a quarter century in the U.S. Senate, died Thursday.

He was 83. Wiley who served four colorful six-year terms in the Senate between 1938 and 1962, died of a stroke at a suburban nursing home. His two dozen years in the upper house was a record for a Wisconsin senator. His only previous political office had been that of district attorney in his home county of Chippewa. Survivors include his widow, the former Dorothy May Kydd; son, Marshall, an attorney propriation.

Department Director Malcolm Johnson told the committee he has been informed that the county will receive nothing from the state to make up for what he estimates will be a $135,000 deficit due principally to increased medical costs.
