*Vietnam:
South Vietnam: Heavy fighting was reported in the
western highlands on 6 and 7 November.
US forces fought a series of engagements with ele-
ments of the North Vietnamese 32nd and 66th Regiments
southwest of Dak To--a strategic special forces camp
adjacent to enemy infiltration routes in Kontum Province.
In the engagements 26 Americans were killed while
enemy losses were set at 116 killed.
At Loc Ninh, the scene of heavy fighting last week,
18 US soldiers were killed and 38 wounded in engage-
ments with enemy forces on 6 and 7 November. Com-
munist propaganda, meanwhile, continues to assert that
the enemy attacks around Loc Ninh constitute retalia-
tion for US air strikes on the Hanoi area and that it
marks the opening of the "winter- spring" campaign
in South Vietnam.
The intensity of the Communist propaganda on the
subject suggests that they hoped the attacks would se-
cure maximum psychological impact. The Communists
may believe they have been successful in demonstrating
the difficulty allied forces still operate under in provid-
ing sustained security for the populace in an area only
some 72 miles from Saigon.
