NOTES:

1. SECOND DAY ON GUNLINE
   Yesterday was a supposedly typical day on the gunline with RICH
firing over 300 rounds of ammunition.  A WELL DONE is in o
 

1. French officials say reports of serious snags in the private
peace talks appear quite exaggerated.  The Foreign Ministry
stated this after the White House envoy Henry Kissinger met for
45 minutes with the French Foreign Minister.   Kissinger is to hold
his sixth straight session with Hanoi's Le Duc Tho tomorrow.  Their
one-hour meeting today was a new location outside Paris and was
the shortest since the bargaining resumed Monday.  Kissinger's aides
did not go along Friday.

2. Soviets claim the Norwegian Navy is searching for a "mythical"
submarine in that fyord in Western Norway.  The Kremlin statement in
Tass, hints the object of the alleged charade is to influence NATO
discussions on beefing up the Westrn allies sea rover.  The Norwegians
have spent 12 days trying to track down visual and sonar indications
of a submerged and slow moving object.  The TASS reported the incident
in an attempt to ridicule the possibility that the object is a foreign
sub-- apparently suspecting Western newpapers might speculate it's a
Russian one.

3. The Air Force has suspended the search in Alaska for a light
airplane carrying House Democratic Leader Hale Boggs.  The move
comes after "9 days of fruitless hunting for traces of the aircraft".
A spokesman says the aircraft search will be resumed if new clues
develop.  Missing with Boggs are Alaska's Lone Congressman and the
pilot.

4. Traffic deaths on the Nation's roads have caused 240 deaths so
far on the four-day Thanksgiving Holiday.

5. Secretary General Kurt Walkheim is permitting East Germany to
send a permanent observer to UN Headquarters in New York.  Both
Germanies are expected to join the World Body next year.

6. Sources close to Phillipine President Marcos say he and U.S.
Ambassador Henry Byroade conferred about American POW's a few days
ago.  The discussion involved the possibility use of Clark
Air Force Base near Manilla for returning prisoners home from Vietnam.

7. Israeli forces have clashed with Palestinian guerrillas near
the slopes of Mount Hermon.  The area is in Southern Lebanon but
is close to the Golan Heights where Israeli and Syrian forces clashed
earlier this week.  The Tel Aviv Military Command describes this
morning's clash between an Israeli patrol and a band of guerrillas.
But, people in South Lebanon say Israeli commandoes were flown across
the border by helicopter and attacked a guerrilla base.

8. Ground fighting in the Vietnam War remains concentrated in the
battle for control of the South's uppermost Province.  Clashes also
were reported in the Central Highlands and near the Cambodian border
Northwest of Saigon.  Poor weather continues to keep down the
bomber strikes against the North.  But more than 40 B-52 bombers
launched strikes above the buffer zone in the last 24 hours.
