He was seriously wounded and apparently escaped only because the Communists believed he was dead. By late to day, about 1,500 Vietnamese troops had been sent into the area as a relief force.

Mora said no agreement was reached on extending the secu-lon rity zone. The palace is held by about 300 junta troops and the rebels claim it lies in territory they control. "It is very important to avoid firing from and into the palace," Mora declared. The OAS seemed to be awaiting word from Washington on what the le move would be.

On his arrival in Quang Ngai from his headquarters at Da Nang, Thi produced a notebook he said was taken from a slain Communist officer. The notebook contained the names and hometowns of North Vietnamese soldiers the four battalions, Thi said. An American military spokes-man in Da Nang said yesterday that two North Vietnamese regular army battalions were involved but revised his statement when U.S. authorities in Saigon said they could not confirm the report. Thi ordered Vietnamese marine reinforcements into the area today and said the outpost could probably hold out through the night.

Heavy rain hampered the movement of heavy equipment. RAIDS In air action yesterday, U.S. warplanes made their deepest penetration yet into North Viet Nam, dropping 40 tons of bombs a Communist ammunition depot only 45 miles south of Hanoi.

"We do not fear a military defeat by the Viet Cong, but we could be annihilated by the very troubled internal political mess," Ky said in a speech in Saigon during the weekend to a meeting of reserve officers. SPY'S LIFE SHEDS ITS GLAMOR (Continued from Page One) Stig Wennerstroem of the Swedish air force who used his position as air attache in Washington to send secret information to Moscow. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and at his trial it was brought out the Russians had paid him $100,000 over 15 years. Another exception was Col.

Rudolf Abel, who may have been the ablest Russian spy of our generation. When he was arrested, he had $6,500 in cash. He had $1,386 on deposit in the East River Savings Bank in New York City and $15,000 in a safe deposit box. Abel deserves our attention because he is an example of the new type of international spy. He had contempt for agents who engaged in spectacular feats of derring-do.

He was a master of blending quietly into all sorts of conditions and environments. He was fluent in several languages and accents and had passed successfully as a Jew, a German, a Pole and a resident of Brooklyn. HE HAD A DEEP AND WIDE INTEREST in scientific matters and for relaxation and light reading he turned to Einstein's treatises on relativity. He knew enough about law to make valuable contributions to his own defense while he was in jail awaiting trial. Abel probably never would have been caught had not one of his subordinates turned into an alcoholic and, in a moment of depression, went to the FBI and told his story.

The result was Abel was sentenced to prison and then was exchanged for Gary Powers, the American U-2 pilot who was shot down over Russia. Moscow obviously held Abel in high regard and just the other day it was announced he had been awarded a medal. The full extent of the damage he did to the national security of the United States probably will never be known to anybody except Abel and his superiors in Moscow. GARY POWERS, TOO, IS TYPICAL of the new scientific, mechanized technique of spying. James Bond, Agent 007 of Ian Fleming's novels, doubtless would consider Powers to be a dull fellow who led a boring life.

Powers never got a chance to consort with cuties and order gourmet meals in the best European restaurants. All he did was to take an exceptional airplane high into the Russian skies. The only thing he ever shot was pictures. reconnaissance is one of the major weapons of modern espionage, and this was what Powers was engaged in when he was shot down. Cameras have been developed which can perform incredible feats from almost impossible distances.

Experts can fit the pictures together like a child working a jig-saw puzzle and then describe a factory or a military installation in detail what it houses or produces, how many people work in it and what the weekly production rate is likely to be. It was pictures taken from the air which spoiled Russia's plans to install rockets in Cuba. And it is safe to say somewhere in the secret files of the Central Intelligence Agency there is a detailed, illustrated description of Red China's nuclear installation. We know all about it and the Chinese know we know. TOMORROW: What the Communists are doing to us.

(UPI) Defense Secretary Robert S. will seek no immediate nuclear strategy showdown with France despite a new rebuff by President Charles de Gaulle to the North Atlantic Treay tion (NATO), American sources said today. They said he has not taken "too tragically" an announcement that France will not take part in NATO's top-secret "Fallex 1966" staff exercise next year.

The disclosure was made by French delegation sources yesterday on the eve of a twoday meeting here of NATO defense ministers. OFFICIALS CONFER McNamara conferred this morning with the defense minlisters of the Netherlands, Norway and Greece as well as U.S. NATO Ambassador Thomas K. Finletter and Allied Supreme Commander Gen. Lyman L.

Lemnitzer. He met yesterday evening with West German Defense Minister Kai-Uwe von Hassell. France's decision not to take part in the Fallex exercise next year was based on sharp disagreements over NATO strategy between De Gaulle and the United 'GRADUATED RESPONSE' The exercise is based on the strategy of a "graduated response" in case of Communist attack in Europe. This means fighting back with conventional weapons alone until it is clear whether the Communists have The French still stand by the launched out war. nuclear retaliation" in case of strategy of "immediate massive any Communist aggression.

French sources disclosed that France protested at the last Fallex exercise in 1964 because it was based on a strategy with which France does not agree. ORDER GIVEN They said that, because the next Fallex exercise would be based on the same strategy, De Gaulle ordered French staff officers not to take part in 1966. However, U.S. officials said McNamara sees no point in seeking a showdown with the French strategy during the current NATO meeting. They said it may not even be mentioned.

McNamara, U.S. sources said, hopes to have at least one private talk with French Defense Minister Pierre Messmer during his Paris stay. But nothing has been arranged yet. NO COLLISION French sources said the French also do not seek any headlong collision over strategy with the United States at the present, decision moment. to boycott Fallex was announced shortly after Contractor Found Dead By Hanging A Ft.

McNamara said yesterday when he arrived in Paris for the NATO session that he had a market" plan for NATO defense products. McNamara has discussed the idea with his British and West German counterparts.

ARMS PROGRAM American officials said the plan calls for a stepped-up program of joint arms production and an effort to standardize arms prices among NATO members. It was reported that McNamara has assured NATO members that the United States is prepared to buy arms from them if prices are competitive. He has also given assurances, the officials said, that the United States does not seek to use pressure salesmanship tactics to force its allies to buy American weapons. hearsal for Tuesday Night's The rehearsal started at 9 Miss USA semi-finals.

(P) A California pathologist described today a "new disease" of the lung characterized by the death and shedding of cells lining the bronchial tubes. The pathologist, Dr.

Bernhard Steinberg, associate professor of research at the Loma Linda (Calif.) University school of medicine, told the 61st annual meeting of the National Tuberculosis Assn. that he diagnosed the condition in himself several years ago. He said the clinical symptoms are fever; a dry, hacking cough; pains in the chest and back and shortness of breath. Dr. Steinberg said that several years ago, he and several associates developed a bronco pulmonary disease which baffled diagnosis.

He said one patient was suspected of having lung cancer, but that the suspicious symptoms disappeared. Lauderdale Man Charged In Slaying (Continued from Page One) Kase III is in charge of the investigation. Hoffman was in a dazed condition when Mrs. Pinkerton came upon the two-door paneled truck eight miles west of Quemado. Hoffman was found beside his woman companion when state troopers arrived after getting a call from Mrs.

Pinkerton at 2:30 p.m. yesterday. She had stopped to offer aid as she assumed that something had gone wrong with the van. DATA HERE SKETCHY At first Hoffman did not know what had happened but police kept asking him questions. He told them about the argument and face slapping.

Efforts to learn more about the woman companion and Hoffman in Ft. Lauderdale were also futile. Hoffman was listed as an employe of an aircraft company but one official stated his name did not appear on the employment records. 203 Dead Taken From India Mine NEW DELHI. (-Rescue teams have recovered 203 burned bodies from the Bhori coal mine in eastern India.

The mine was devastated by an explosion and fire Friday. Estimates of the dead ranged between 250 and 400, and the search for bodies is continuing. New Bomber Awaits Test PALMDALE, Calif. (P) A new model of the controversial triple-sonic XB70 reconnaissance bomber was awaiting first engine test runs after a public introduction to about 4,000 spectators. Its predecessor, the XB70A, has already reached 1,700 miles an hour at 65,000 feet altitude.

It was designed for 2,000 mph at 70,000 feet. FOUND IN AUTOPSY Dr. Steinberg said he first noted the condition seven years ago in an autopsy of a man in his 30s who apparently had died of suffocation. The air sacs of his lungs and the bronchi were so filled with sloughed dead cells that oxygen could not penetrate. Shortly afterward, he said, the same condition was noted in an infant who had died of a respiratory condition.

In a retrospective study of pathologic specimens and clinical records of 3,268 patients who had died over a 23-year period, Dr. Steinberg said he detected some degree of the condition in 251 patients. In seven others, he said, death was directly attributed to the disease, which Dr. Steinberg said could be appropriately named "exfoliative broncho-alveolar disease." Dr. Steinberg said the is probably due to a virus, as yet unidentified.
