May 2..,...r 1968. - Ii " 'ema in EDITOR'S NOTE: CPS Vietnam correspondent first wrote of the destruction of Hue in March. Re- cently he returned there. The fol- lowing two articles are an account of what he found. By STEVE D'ARAZIEN College Press Service HUE, South Vietnam - The Monsoon had lifted, the sun beat down, and warmth had replaced the damp cold of be- fore. Much of the rubble had been cleared from the streets and they were now filled with young boys in their schoolboy- blue trousers and white short- sleeve shirts and the beautiful, bashful Hue girls in their spot- less white ao dai dresses. Now and then a ragged little boy in a red Suzuki cap could be seen and heard ringing a bill, adver- tising his ice cream. But in spite of the markedly less dloomy atmosphere, evi- dence of the recent disaster was obvious. Fresh graves lined the road- side. Bodies were buried where they fell, often in the little parkways within inches of the main road. Many were cov- ered with little yellow flowers. The traditional burying places had- not been accessible when it first became possible to bury '> the dead. But perhaps soon the bodies will be moved to family plots, at least in cases where the bodies have been identified. The university studeits were picking up their khaki uniforms at the Faculty of Science build- ing. Some looked proud to have them. All South Vietnamese students are expected to take two weeks of military training, plus one day a Week after that. The training is more a morale booster than a military maneu- ver since the training consists mainly of calisthenics and uni- form-wearing. The Saigon government has been under pressure from American officials to involve the city-dwelling, middle and upper-class Vietnamese who have been able to avoid any involvement in the war and have even flaunted their af- fluence and privileged status in the midst of the war. It is largely a symbolic gesture' since the sons of the rich will continue to receive their defer- ments, even study in Europe if they like, while their mothers and fathers will tour the conti- nent on buying sprees. At the Imperial palace, which had been the scene of the last ditch fighting in Hue, the red and gold, Chinese-styled; gate- house had assumed a new pos- ture. Leaning abruptly and pre- cariously in several directions, it had been heavily damaged. In the once-beautiful South- east corner of the Citadel, tin. shacks had replaced the fine. homes there before. These shacks belonged to the former homeowners. One large area of the city, near Tran Cao Van Street, had been bulldozed and replaced with a series of bar- tacks-like sheds housing about 200 families in fifteen foot wide units. The Venerable Quang Minh, superior monk at the Bao Quoc Pagoda in Hue, had just said he was not interested in poli- tics, but it was obvious that some, of the Buddhist students in Hue were. Bao Quoc, where Tri Quang, sp'ritual leader of Vietnam's militant Buddhists had become a monk, was a shambles. "We thank our American friends," one commented ironi- cally. !'Life is a vale of tears," said another, quoting the Bud- dha. The majority of the many slogans on the Pagoda's.walls were in Vietnamese, with a smattering of French. But these were in English. Bao Quoc had been shelled when the NLF had assembled nearby. Though the soldiers were not inside the pagoda, the building itself was hit. "We will leave it as it is to remind ourselves," Quang Minh said, explaining the rubble. For the Buddhists life since Diem has indeed been a vale of tears. Both American and South Vietnamese goverpment authorities believe the Bud- dhists have an annoying ten- dency to make their peace with the world. So Buddhism in Viet- nam has had no peace in a long while. Relations between the Hue Buddhists and the now-re- moved province chief, Pham- Van-Khoa, had been strained, but it wasn't the Buddhists fault, Quang Minh explained. The Saigon government claims that Thich Don Hau, the prom- inent head of the Hue Buddhist association, had gone willingly with the NLF. Quang Minh ex- plained that Venerable Don Hau was being held hostage because he had refused to fly an NLF flag over his pagoda. This contradicts Sqigon's claim that the Buddhists are in league with the Communists. During the Tet battle, Quang Minh said, the people had ex- perienced difficulty in purchas- ing rice from the government because the government was afraid the rice would fall into enemy hands. But he doubted the rumors of starvation were true. , After the offensive, the peo- ple were more afraid of the NLF, the monk said. And be- cause the people did not rise up against the government, the of- fensive was, in one respect, a failure. There had been no rush to join the revolutionary committees which were intend- ed to broaden the politicalnbase of the NLF in preparation for a coalition government. "Most of the students here did not join the NLF," Thich Quanh Minh said.
