I "A U.S. Air Force B52 crashed shortly before midnight last night approximately 12 miles west of Nakorn Phanom, Thailand. The aircraft was returning from a mission over North Vietnam. A search and rescue is completed.

All six crew members were recovered. Initial reports indicate no serious injuries. The cause of the loss has not been determined." Military souces said there SAIGON (AP) A U.S. Air Force B52, apparently disabled after being hit by enemy ground fire over North Vietnam, crashed in Thailand tonight. All six crewmen bailed out and were rescued, the U.S.

Command said. The eight-jet bomber crashed 12 miles west of Nakorn Pha-nom in eastern Thailand while trying to make it back to its home base at Utapao, about 400 miles to the southwest. Command spokesmen, announcing the crash, said the cause had not been determined. But it was believed the plane was hit by ground fire probably a surface-to-air missile during a bombing run over the North, other military sources said. It would be the first B52 lost to enemy action in the Vietnam war.

At least 10 of the bombers have crashed due to operational causes and several have been damaged by ground fire. The U.S. Command announcement said: (J ritWWWl iiT if i fci i rti MMMMMWHMiMb' was no indication from preliminary reports of injuries on the ground as a result of the crash. Earlier in the day, the U.S. Command in Saigon announced that 15 B52 missions were flown over North Vietnam below the 20th Parallel during the 24-hour period ending at noon Wednesday.

The previous high of B52 strikes over the North during any 24-hour period was 13. No mention was made of the B52 loss. However, the command did announce the loss of a swing-wing Fill bomber and two smaller jets. Sources in Saigon said about 45 B52s participated in Wednesday's attack, dropping more than 1,300 tons of explosives on North Vietnam's southern panhandle. Monsoon weather over the North had curtailed strikes by the smaller fighter-bombers, but the B52s which can fly as high as 35,000 feet and drop their bombs by radar, were unaffected by the weather.

Each B52 can carry upward of 30,000 pounds of bombs. Throughout the war, Hanoi has often claimed to have shot down a B52 but this was the first loss to enemy fire. Earlier this year, a B52 flying over the North was damaged by enemy fire but managed to limp back to the U.S. air base at Da Nang. During the early years of the war three or four of the big bombers were lost in crashes but these were due to mechanical cause or pilot error.

Talks are scheduled for today PARIS (AP) Henry A. Kissinger paid a brief visit to Brussels today to confer with President Suharto of Indonesia but scheduled more Vietnam peace negotiations this afternoon with North Vietnam's Le Due Tho. Indonesia is one of four countries that have been asked to supervise the cease-fire Kissinger and Tho are trying to work out.

Presumably the U.S. presidential adviser went to Brussels to discus this with Suharto, who is on a tour of European capitals. Kissinger flew to Brussels Tuesday night after his second meeting with Tho. He returned to Paris in the middle of the morning. Kissinger and Tho met for more than four hours Tuesday at a suburban villa owned by the French Communist party.

As usual there was no concrete information on their discussions. But during one 15-minute break they could be seen walking together in the garden, conversing animatedly and occasionally laughing loudly. This jovial atmosphere aroused speculation that the talks were going well. Kissinger also took time out Tuesday to lunch with the beautiful blonde wife of banker Freddy Cushing, who is with Lehman Bros, in Paris. Friends said the Cushings have invited Kissinger to have Thanksgiving dinner with them, an indication that his talks with Tho may continue into the weekend.

Mayor Robertson said this morning that the city attorney had written a lette to Leavell asking that he appear before the council to explain future plans for the old feedlot. Both Leavel and Schenk are cattlemen. The mayor also said he would contact officials of the Environmental Protection Agency as well as the head of the State Health Department to see what could be done to stop any livestock from going back into the area, and indicated that the city would be willing to fight the matter all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. Lloyd Hess, vice president of the Cassia County Planning and Zoning Commission who presided at last night's meeting, said that the commission couldn't legally prevent the feedlot owners from bringing cattle back inot the area, however the commission went on record as being strongly opposed to any livestock operations being conducted at the site. In other business, the commission discussed the uniform building and fire code and the county zoning ordinance which are both still being drafted by Gordon Nielson, county attorney.

The commission asked John Clark, chairman of the county commission, to check on what progress was being made on the building code and the zoning ordinance which they commission hopes to put into effect by Jan. 1, or before.
