Allied deaths high compared to Reds
SAIGON — (UPI) — U. S. military spokesmen disclosed Thursday that allied combat deaths in Vietnam last week were the highest this year in relation to the number of Communists killed. More South Vietnamese soldiers were killed than Americans and the number of Communist dead dropped sharply.
The casualty figures were announced shortly after South Vietnamese troops were disclosed to have launched the first major allied offensive of the war against North Vietnamese forces in the heavily defended A Shau Valley —used by the Communists as a major supply route to the northern provinces.
Little resistance was reported from the estimated 10,000 North Vietnamese troops in the 25-mile long valley where South Vietnamese paratroopers launched the sweep April 19, military spokesmen said.
U. S. spokesmen said 287 American soldiers and 380 South Vietnamese troops were killed in action in the war last week, while the Communist side lost 1,899 dead.
The ratio of Communist dead to allies killed was less than three-to-one, the lowest it has been in 1968, the figures disclosed.
During this period someone is needed to be in the nap room. Those interested may contact Head Start at VI 2-2515.
