U.S. officials said the Commu- nist guerrillas came out worst m their two well-spaced attacks on the air base, losing 18 killed in the first and six in the sec- ond. Three Americans were killed in the first attack and five wounded. There were no reports of allied casualites in th second attack. The air base handles about 1,- 500 landings and takeoffs a day. Twelve U.S. servicemen were wounded in the Saigon bombing while one person was wounded in Can Tho. * • * The Viet Cong strike Sunday came exactly a year to the day after terrorists set off a mighty charge outside a U.S. enlisted men's billet in Saigon's Hotel Metropole. killing eight persons and wounding 139. Communist terror generally increases sharply at this time of year. Many believe it serves to mark the Dec. 20 anniversary of the founding of the Viet Cong and its political arm, the Na- tional Liberation Front. Communist guerrillas first struck at the air base shortly after midnight, dispatching a suicide platoon under cover of • mortar fire. Then nearly 24 hours later they struck again. exchanging fire with U.S. and Vietnamese security forces on the edge of the base. :V^^#-&* n*m i*» 5fe>Kor%#*^ ^ >V»<*r Flames enfold the interior of the Robert Albert home on Wadbams Rd. early Sunday morning.
