An army spokesman said reb¬ el losses "are clearly greater." He said 20 rebel bodies were found on the rugged battlefield this afternoon, and that the fighting "continues tonight."
Authorities in Oran said re¬ ports received there said at least 64 rebels wera killed and 40 wounded.

Gromyko, who heads the So¬ viet delegation to the five-power disarmament talks underway in London, blamed the West for holding up arms cuts by its re¬ fusal to .lay down atomic weapons.
He also suggested beifore a private audience here that Nor¬ way and Denmark should drop out of the North Atlantic Pact and tum neutrt.1 as Sweden is Gromyko said Russia "sym¬ pathizes" with Iceland for trying to oust the U. S. from military bases which "infringe" on Ice land's sovereignity.
