S. bombings. Less attention is given to the deaths of civilians in South Vietnam due to Viet Cong terror tactics. Here is a sum - up of that situation. SAIGON (AP) Americans call it terror. The Viet Cong call it war. Regardless of the name, it means death. Communist guerrillas range all over South Vietnam, from the Demilitarized Zone to the Mekong Delta. They kidnap, torture, maim and kill. They use bullets, bombs and kniv es. Some of the victims are American servicemen asleep in billets. Others are Vietna mese government officials or employes. Many are rice far mers, housewives, children or other civilians.' National Police statistics show that the Viet Cong during the last three years have as sassinated roughly 2,100 civi Uans because they were con nected with the government or were too close to the terror ists' targets. The assassina tions show a steady increase from 479 in 1964 to 608 in 1965 to an estimated 1,000 last year. Exact figures for 1966 are not available. The reporting system was changed and sta tistics were not tabulated from July 1 into October. Nat ional police recorded 253 civi lian deaths from Jan. 1 through June. U. S. sources say the number of incidents increased with the Sept. 11 national elections. From Oct. 8 to Dec. 31, when statistics again were tabulated, 521 civ ilians were reported slain by guerrillas. . These deaths are distinct from civilian fatalities caused by conventional warfare air raids, napalm drops, etc. No statitics 'are kept oft these, but the best available information from U. S. and Vietnamese sources ''points to an average over - all death toll of 1,000 among South Vietnamese ev ery month, due to action by both sides in the war. A report to the U. S.

The 22 persons killed that week included two hamlet chiefs, two National Police men, one Hoi Chanh (a Viet Cong who surrendered to the government), and one rural construction cadre.

It was in sharp contrast to the notoriety that surround ed Ruby as the self - appoint ed avenger of a martyred pre sident. At funeral services in a Northwest Side Chapel, Rab bi David Graubert termed Ruby "a misguided patriot." "On the surface Ruby was an avenger," Rabbi Gran bert said. "He was an aven ger of blood who pursued the manslayer while the blood was hot. He was a misguided avenger a misguided pa triot." Newsmen, photograph ers and the public were bar red from services in the fun eral chapel and the cemet ery.
