Both conservatives and liberals in the Senate expressed approval of Burger, a farm boy who worked his way through college to become a floor manager at the 1952 (GOP convention for another Minnesota farm boy, Harold E.

But half-milli- American battlefield deaths were more than double the total for the week before. The U.S. Command said today allied forces killed 5,686 enemy troops last week, an 84 per cent increase over the total of 3,095 reported killed two weeks ago. The command said 430 Americans were killed and 2,185 wounded last week, the second highest toll this year and the highest since the week ending March 1. Then 453 U.S. troops were reported killed in action and 2,593 wounded at the height of the Viet Congs spring offensive. The week before last, American casualties were 131 killed and 1.225 wounded. South Vietnam casualties last week were 527 troops killed, the highest toll in more than a year, and 1,643 wounded. Two weeks ago, the South Vietnamese forces reported 182 men killed and 752 wounded. The 5,686 enemy troops claimed killed last week raised to 500,509 the number of North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers reported killed by allied forces since Jan. 1, 1961, when the United States entered the war. Like the American casualties last week, the enemy toll was the heaviest reported since the week ending March 1. Then 6,813 enemy soldiers were reported killed. U.S. battlefield deaths reported since Jan. 1, 1961, now total 35,265, including 12,314 killed since preliminary peace talks opened in Paris on May 13, 1968. Fince Dec. 7, when the talks were expanded to include the Viet Cong and the 5,208 government, Saigon Americans have been killed in action. A total of 225,710 U.S. troops have been reported wounded in action since Jan. 1, 1961. A communique from South Vietnamese headquarters conceded that together with the increase in enemy attacks, allied forces also intensified their offensive operations.
