By RICHARD PYLE SAIGON (AP) The total of Americans killed last week in combat in Vietnam climbed to 102 a weekly toll, exceeding 100 for the first time in five weeks, the U.S. Command announced Thursday.

The increased toll, 24 higher than the total reported for the week before, reflected a slight increase in ground fighting involving Americans, including one battle northwest of Saigon last Friday in which 10 Americans were killed. Enemy casualties also increased sharply, to 2,303 as compared with 1,624 reported last Thursday. The Saigon government said its battlefield dead totaled 297, four less than the week before. The U.S. Command said 39,149 Americans and 564,607 of the enemy have been reported killed in action in Vietnam since Jan.

1, 1961. A total of 530 Americans were wounded last week, the U.S. Command said. Meanwhile, the Saigon government released one of its leading political prisoners, the Buddhist monk Thich Thien Minh, in an amnesty for 310 political prisoners in honor of South Vietnam's National Day Nov. 1.

Thien Minh walked smiling from the headquarters of the Saigon Military District where he had been held for nearly eight months. He told newsmen he had been treated well. The monk, one of the leading opponents of President Nguyen Van government, was convicted harboring draft dodgers, deserters and Communist sympathizers. had been serving a three year sentence. The government said 63 other political prisoners were being released, the punishment for seven was being "changed," one was being allowed to return from exile and the sentences of 238 were being reduced.

A spokesman said another 935 "detainees" rounded up in the provinces during the past year as Viet Cong suspects were being released or their jail terms were being reduced. Truong Dinh Dzu, President Thieu's runnerup in the 1967 election, remained in prison despite the amnesty. A government spokesman said Dzu, arrested in May 1968 for advocating negotiations with the Viet Cong, was not on the list of prisoners who would be freed or would have their terms reduced. The amnesty, was announced was a also releasing 88 Viet Cong Wednesday as Athe government prisoners of war, more than two thirds of them women, in what it called a humanitarian ges- ture. Dzu, a lawyer, ran second among 11 candidates in the 1967 presidential election.

He polled more than 800,000 votes, nearly half the number Thieu received. Dzu was convicted in July 11963, was sentenced to five years at hard labor, and sent to Con So, an island penitentiary, Later Thieu himself for talks with the Viet Cong, prisonment and Dzu's brought continued widespread im- criticism. Dzu was transferred to Saigon on May 28 for treatment of a heart condition. A private U.S. delegation visited him soon afterward and said he appeared to be in good condition.

Army officials said three U.S. prisoners reportedly released by the Viet Cong had not made their way back to American lines. The Viet Cong's Liberation Radio said the three GIs were released Monday, State Department officials in Washington said it appeared to be standard procedure for the Viet Cong to announce prisoner releases and then arrange for them to be turned over at a later date. "I expect them to set up a meeting of some sort," said a U.S. spokesman in Saigon.
