MOSCOW-In a keynote speech
for the Bolshevik Revolution's 50th
anniversary, Leond I. Brezhnev ac-
cused the United States yesterday
of Nazi-type atrocities in Vietnam
and pledged Soviet aid to Viet-
namese Communists until U.S.
forces leave.
"The crimes of the U.S. military
in Vietnam," Brezhnev charged,
"recall atrocities of the Fascist
brutes." He accused U.S. forces of
destroying schools, hospitals and
entire villages.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-The

TOKYO-Three American pris-
oners of war have been freed by
the Viet Cong after showing "sin-
cere repentance over the crimes
they had committed against the
South Vietnamese people," the of-

It did not say how or when they
were set free, and in Washington
the Pentagon reported it could not
confirm the release because the
men have not been returned to
U.S. control."
