(AP) -Fire swept the home of a couple with 18 children early Nine children perished while the others escaped with their parents by jumping from windows of the two-story house into a foot of snow.

Pollee said the fire broke out at 12:30 a.m. in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Girouard. One of the children jumped from a bedroom window and ran to a house to call for help.

The ages of the dead children were not immediately avail able. The house was at Lac des Bes bear Mont Laurie, about 125 miles northwest of Montreal. The extent of the injuries of ujose who survived was not U.S. Planes Strafes. Viet Unit In Error SAIGON (AP) Two U.S.

Air Force Canberra bombers mistakenly strafed a company of South Vietnamese irregulars locked in a jungle fight with the Viet Cong Thursday, killing four of the irregulars and wounding 32 and two American advisers, the U.S. Command announced. U.S. Command said the South Vietnamese force was battling a Viet Cong force in the coastlands of Binh Thuan Province about 125 miles northeast of Saigon. The B57 Canberras were called in to give supporting fire and dipped down with blazing 20mm cannon and 50-caliber machine guns.

The ground action against the Viet Cong apparently was broken off as the shattered South Vietnamese unit, called a civilian irregular defense group, pulled back with its casualties. The strafing run took place in midafternoon and the weather was relatively clear, the U.S. Command said. An investigation was ordered by the commander of the U.S. 7th Air Force Gen.

William Momyer and Air Force officers were sent to the scene. The mistaken strafing came on a day of scattered ground actions up and down the nation They ranged from pitched battles in the coastal lowlands around Da Nang to clashes in the Mekong Delta where U.S Navy patrol boats fought Viet Cong infantrymen. One Communist gunner in the delta put a small patrol boat out of action with a recoilless rifle shot that wounded all five American crewmen. Helicopters swept in to strafe the Viet Cong position, and an accompanying patrol boat pulled the stricken craft out of the battle 45 miles southwest of Saigon. In the big delta city of My Tho about 40 miles below Saigon, Viet Cong mortarmen lobbed a barrage of 42 rounds into the compound of the provincial hospital, wounding 17 civilians and an unannounced number (rf South Vietnamese soldiers.

Sharp ground actions involved both South Vietnamese arid American units. The heaviest engagement Thursday pitted a force of more than 1.000 South Vietnamese against a Communist battalion in Quang Nam Province, the sensitive sector surrounding the big base of Da Nang. The South Vietnamese reported killing 52 Red troops, raising to more than 375 the number of enemy dead claimed by the allies in three days of fighting in the coastal lowlands snce the end of the brief Christmas truce.
