NEW FIGHT FLARES IN LOC NINH REGION

Foe Apparently Ambushes U.S. Search Unit, Killing 18


SAIGON, South Vietnam, November 7 -


Two companies of the United States 1st Infantry Division,
searching for remnants of the Viet Cong regiments reported
to have been eliminated in fighting last week near the
Cambodian border, were apparently ambushed today.

Eighteen men were killed, including a battalion commander, and
20 were wounded during a one - hour clash, the division reported.

The engagement took place about five miles northeast of
Loc Ninh, the rubber plantation village that was the target
of a Viet Cong onslaught last week.

A division spokesman said that the command group was struck
by a high - explosive rocket during the first moments of the attack.

Snipers in trees accounted for many others of the killed and wounded.

The enemy unit, whose size was not estimated, was said to have
lost 66 men killed and an undetermined number of wounded.

Contact was lost when the infantrymen pulled back to
permit artillery, helicopter gunships and aircraft to blast the area.
