Marine losses for this period were listed as 17 dead and 46 wounded. For the whole week, the ma- rines lost 134 dead, 631 wounded and five missing. i Many of the reports of the dead were based on sightings from the air. In ground action Friday a ma- rine unit, that had lost 12 dead and 30 wounded to North Viet- namese artillery fire Thursday, more than evened the score when it caught 200 North Viet- namese in the open northeast of Con Thien. After the marines boxed the enemy troops in a narrow draw, blistering air strikes and artil- lery were. called in. A marine spokesman said 150 bodies were counted after the smoke cleared. No marines were re-| ported killed in the clash. | Out in the South China Seal McNamara Need For Build-Up SAIGON (AP)--The U.S. com- mand argued for a new large U.S. troop build-up today and may have run into sharp ques- tioning by Defence Secretary Robert S. McNamara on how many troops are needed and why the South Vietnamese are not pulling more of the load. In making its case for per- haps 100,000 troops above the current 466,000 in Vietnam, the U.S. command also told McNam- ara what Gen. William C. West- moreland considers his troops protirs with less.

McNamara, on his ninth trip to Vietnam, will carry West- moreland's plea, together with his recommendations, when he returns to Washington to report to President Johnson. QUESTIONS SUPPORT The official spokesman said McNamara in a three-hour dis- cussion of troop strengths asked "extremely close questions" on the ratio of U.S. combat in- fantrymen to support and rear area troops and discussed a possible boost in Saigon's army and militia force of 650,000. This represents about four per cent of the population. McNam- ara feels this figure is too low. McNamara expressed concern over how fast progress was be- ing made in some areas of the Vietnam war. The fighting abil- ity of government troops, rated as poor by senior U.S. officers, also apparently was discussed. The spokesman said at no time was a bombing pause mentioned.

(CP)-- One of Canada's most spectac- ular centennial projects was to move into its critical stage here today with the start of an airlift of mountaineers into thn St. Elias mountains. The climbers, mounting a mass assault on 13 peaks in the newly-named Centennial range in the St. Elias group, are part of the three-stage: Yukon alpine centennial expedition. The Alpine Club of Canada has called the expedition the biggest mountaineering effort ever launched, and the logistics involved give credence to the claim.

Planning for the expedition in the nearly two yars since it was conceived has been: largely in the hands of the Alpine club. The logistics handbook reads like the plan for a major mili- tary operation. A single-engined, ski-equipped Beaver aircraft and two Bell 470 helicopters are expected to chalk up a total of more than 600 hours in the air ferrying camps, 75 miles west of .the staging area here. Equipment and supplies mar- shalled for the three stages of the expedition include thousands of board feet of lumber for the camps, tents, radios, more than 7,000 gallons of aviation fuel, cords of firewood and more than 5,000 man-days of food. Transportation arrangements have 'included special buses pro- vided by the Yukon government for travel to the staging area here from Whitehorse, 100 miles east, and improvements to a road in the mountain area. vided by climbers are bringing a total of about six tons of their own dun- nage including clothing for pro- tection against arctic conditions at high altitude. roof of the North American con- and number-code system and is e tackling the tinent.
