Planes Batter Laos SAM Base SAIGON, Viet Nam, March 12 Friday UPI American fighter-bombers have knocked out the first North Vietnamese surface-to-air SAM missile site ever spotted in Laos, military sources said today. The disclosure followed a report by the United States command that Communist ground fire shot down five U. S. helicopters supporting the South Vietnamese drive into Laos yesterday. Attack in Sepone Area Elements of two North Vietnamese divisions attacked South Vietnamese troops in the Sepone area of Laos yesterday with ground and rocket assaults, military spokesmen reported.

They said the Communist attacks came after the North Vietnamese lost 1,000 dead in the most destructive bombing of the war. Field reports said th eNorth Vietnamese also were sending tanks to the Sepone area, a vital Ho Chi MM trail hub 27 miles inside Laos. U. S. military sources said American fighter-bombers last week destroyed the only North Vietnamese SAM site ever discovered in Laos.

They said the "nearly functional" launching pad for the 30-foot missiles was spotted on a reconnaissance pictured snapped by a U. S. jet near the Laotian-North Vietnamese border. Clobber Hell Out of Site The sources said U. S.

Bruce 's Day at Viet Talks-61 Words He said h2 left My Lai at about 10 a. m. to have lunch with the commander of the South Vietnamese Army second division in nearby Quang Ngai City.

Later that afternoon he radioed Calley's company commander, Capt. Ernest L. Medina, to return to My Lai to collect werpor.s and count the number cf civilians killed thore. He explained that Col. Frank A.

Barker, deceased commander of Task Force Barker, had reported to him that "10 to 12 or 12 to 14 civilians had been killed" at My Lai. The task force was a battalion-sized unit which launched the My Lai sweep in an effort to destroy a Viet Cong battalion. "I was concerned whether it was 10 or 14. I wanted it pinned down," Henderson said. He said he also was concerned because late in the afternoon he received a report of some 30 enemy killed but only nine weapons captured.

Orders Medina to Return That is why he ordered Capt. Medina and his men back into My Lai. But the order, he said, was countermanded by a message from Maj. Gen. Samuel W.

Koster, the American Division commander. Henderson, who assumed command of the 11th brigade the day before the operation, said his helicopter came close enough to the ground three times to allow him to distinguish forms on the ground. Earlier, S. Sgt. David Mitchell, acquitted of My Lai charges last year, refused to testify.

Col. Kennedy did not order Mitchell to testify today because the Army is now considering what administrative action should be taken against the sergeant. Kennedy said his testimony might be used against him by the Army in deciding what action should be taken. for 3 Slain Scottish Soldiers BY EDWARD ROHRBACH Chief of Paris Bureau Chicjjo Tritium Press Service Oran K.

There the soldiers were ordered out of the cars and were shot in the head. Persons living nearby heard five shots.

North Irish police know the leaders of both organizations, and it was considered possible that these men would be placed in detention without trial. Neither the government here nor the British government favored that policy, but pressure was building for vigorous action. Two Brothers Slain The dead soldiers were two brothers, John McCraig, 17, and Joseph, 18, and Dougald McCaughey, 23.

Their bodies were found last jiight in a ditch on a mountain road five miles from Belfast. Warns of Chain Reaction "Many of us have memories long enough to warn us not only of the appalling consequences of murder and outrage but also of the risks of revenge and the chain reaction which follows," Clark said. He was referring to sectarian strife that has. beset Northern Ireland since it was created more than 50 years ago.

Bruce was the only head of the four delegations to attend the regular weekly session. The chief delegates for the Communist side, Xuan Thuy of North Viet Nam and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh of the Viet Cong's provisional revolution-a government, continued their boycott.

A spokesman for Ambassador Pham Dang Lam of South Viet Nam said Saigon's chief negotiator was "indisposed." Makes Short Response Bruce responded with a 61-word statement, his shortest declaration on record: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have made clear repeatedly that we are ready for serious discussion of the issues relevant to a negotiated settlement. Our proposals on cease-fire, withdrawal of external forces, prisoners of war, political settlement and an Indochina-wide conference are before you," Bruce said. "Apparently, you prefer propaganda maneuvers to serious discussion. I therefore have nothing further to say at this "clobbered the hell out of" the missile site.

Thuy's deputy, Nguyen Minh Vy, said his superior was protesting President Nixon's plan "to carry the war into North Viet Nam." Mrs. Binh, who also is the Viet Cong's foreign minister, flew off today to Romania for a friendship visit. Lam's deputy, Nguyen Xuan Phong, said the North Vietnamese forces in South Viet Nam were in an increasingly critical situation as a result of the South Vietnamese strikes into Cambodia and Laos.

He said the Ho Chi Minh supply trail was no longer invulnerable despite the high price the Communists were willing to pay "to keep this infiltration network in operation." 28 Yanks Missing The U.S. delegation announced after the talks that 28 Americans are missing in Laos since the start of the South Vietnamese drive a month ago. U. S. spokesman Stephen Ledogar said the 28 were crewmen of aircraft shot down during support missions.

Bing Crosby In Bid to Free POWs BEVERLY March 11 A group of wealthy Americans is trying to arrange for ransom or internship in a neutral country of American prisoners in North Vietnam, it was reported today. Prominent in the effort is singer Bing Crosby.

His older brother, Larry, said an emissary is trying to arrange private meetings with North Vietnamese officials. An emissary already has met once this month with North Vietnamese embassy officials in Vientiane, Laos, Larry said. "He found out there they would listen to a deal, but they wanted me to appoint several prominent businessmen as a negotiating committee," said Larry, 76. He said the group, known as "The Prisoners of War Rescue Mission," is willing to ransom the United States prisoners with cash, reparations, or both, even if it only means the prisoners would be interned in a neutral country agreeable to both Hanoi and Washington. He said the State Department has given its blessing to the private talks.

He said the committee, which already has five leaders of the American business community, is "going after freeing the prisoners first," but would settle on a neutral country such as Singapore. day with only 507 of the school's 1,614 pupils reporting to classes.

Mourned in Chicago In Chicago yesterday, leaders of the Chicago Urban League expressed sorrow over Young's death.

Carey B. Preston, president, in a joint statement. Mayor Daley said: "The passing of Whitney Young has saddened all his friends in Chicago who knew him as a spirited leader for justice for all people.
