SAIGON (Compiled from UPI and S&S Vietnam Bureau) - A three-day Communist offensive which has killed at least 65 Americans and wounded nearly 350 others appears to be subsiding, the U.S. Military Command said early Friday. American spokesmen reported 73 shelling attacks by Viet Cong and North Vietnamese against Allied installations in the 24-hours ending at 8 a.m. Thursday, compared with 130 during the previous day. (skip to last paragraph of article) Six Americans were reported wounded Wednesday when Communist ground fire shot down three U.S. Army helicopters.
