Over North Vietnamlt;SAIGON (AP) U.S. B52 bombers continued their heaviest raids of the war over NorthVietnam on Saturday.*The North Vietnamese Foreign Ministry issued another statement condemning the bombing attacks, and American military sources indicated the raids were a signal to Hanoi that the United States will not stop its bombing below the 20th Parallel until a peace agreement is reached. The peace talks have gone into recess until Dec. 4 after six sessions in Paris.U.S. officials disclosed that a second B52 was damaged in a surface to air missile attack last week that claimed the first B52 combat loss of the Vietnam war. None of the six crewmen on the damaged plane was injured but two of the six crewmen on the downed aircraft were hurt.U.S. officials in Vientiane, Laos, also disclosed that an AirAmerica C7 Caribou cargo plane flying in support of Laotian irregular forces, was shot down by enemy antiaircraft fire Thursday, killing two Americans, a Thai and a Lao. Air America is backed by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.As reports circulate in Paris of serious differences between U.S. and Hanoi negotiators, the North Vietnamese Foreign Ministry said the B52 attacks “laid bare the deceitfulness of the Nixon administration’s professed desire to end its military involvement and restore peace in Vietnam.”In South Vietnam, tens of thousands of marchers demonstrated along a 50-mile stretch of 'Highway 4 in an anti-Com-munist protest to show that the government is in control of the main road through the Mekong Delta.The marchers carried flags and banners demanding thatNorth Vietnamese troops get out of South Vietnam and declaring that “coalition with the Communists is suicide.”During the 24-hour period ending at noon Saturday, the U.S. Command reported 14 more B52 missions against North Vietnamese targets below the 20th Parallel.The U.S. Command said theftttftcks were centered on supply caches awaiting shipment to Laos and South Vietnam.
