y Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Sraturdcay, July 13, 1968 Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday; July 13, 1968 BUTT OF JOKES: North capitalizes on Khe Sanh HONG KONG (A) - U.S. aban- donment of the Marine combat base at Khe Sanh has given the North Vietnamese what they ob- viously consider their greatest propaganda opportunity of the war. The official reason for aban- doning the base in the northwest corner of South Vietnam was to give Marines greater mobility. But North Vietnam is using the withdrawal to make the United its Asian friends and the object of derision among other Asians, Asians in this British colony re- port. For five days, North Vietnam's radio has devoted about 70 per cent of its broadcast time in every Asian language to trumpeting "American defeat" and a "Com- munist victory" at Khe Sanh. Previous American declarations of why Khe San) was vital to U.S. strategy and would be held are De Murville names cabinet: Education post goes to Faure blended with inflated claims of death and destruction wrought among Khe Sanh's defenders. The broadcasts are laced with quotations from Western news reports of how tough Khe Sanh was for the Marines trying to de- fend it. Observers here believe that the propaganda will, be ac- cepted by many throughout Asia. Here is the way some of the propaganda is beamed: To the people of Thailand, Khe Sanh is proof that despite its superiority in weapons, t h e United States cannot protect an Asian ally and will "always, even- tually abandon it." To U.S. soldiers in South Viet- nam, "Why and for whom do you die? For President Johnson and other American leaders who sent thousands of your buddies to their death at Khe Sanh and then de- cided it wasn't worth it?" To other Asian nations, the Americans declared Khe Sanh vital to their war strategy and so "America suffered a staggering defeat that spells doom for the American aggressors as Dien Bien Pho spelled doom for the French." "It (Khe Sanh) was so vital to American war strategy that Amer- ica sacrificed 17,000 troops wiped out and more than 500 planes shot down trying to hold it," claimed one broadcast. No court action on Hughes NEW YORK ( ) - A federal judge declined yesterday to call Howard Hughes, the all-but-invis- ible industrialist, into court to answer questions about his pro- posal to buy a controlling interest of the American Broadcasting Cos. Inc. ABC had sought to compel Hughes to appear in federal court -where the communications com- pany is trying to block the pro- posal - but Judge Dudley B. Bon- sal turned downfthe request. Hughes has offered to buy 43 per cent of the ABC stock for $148.8 million through his wholly owned Hughes Tool Co. Goldenson said he. told Gregson Bautzer, a California lawyer rep- resenting Hughes, last January that ABC had been involved for about two years in a fruitless merger negotiation with the In- ternational Telephone & Tele- graph Corp. and he now wanted to "first get my house in order." He said Eliot Hyman, president of Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Inc., told him that he knew Hughes "very well" and that "we should sit down and talk to Hughes about the acquisition of ABC." WORST OF WAR? Third Battle of Saigon nears PARIS (R) - Premier Maurice Couve de Murville announced last night the 30-member cabinet he has assembled to revamp French society along the lines promised by President Charles de Gaulle. 'There were few new faces and veterans held on the top jobs. The Education Ministry, ex- pected to be a crucial post fol- lowing the student-labor revoltf last spring, went to Edgar Faure, outgoing minister of agriculture and former premier. Sources said Faure was reluctant to take the Gaulle's insistence. assignment but yielded at de The name most notable by its absence was that of Georges Pom- pidou. The circumstances of Pompi- dou's departure were unclear. Some observers believed de Gaulle was readying him to take over as president some day, others said de Gaulle acted to cut down a potential rival for power. Another theory was that Pom- pidou had split with de Gaulle ovey "participation," the presi- dent's far-reaching plan to have students and workers share in managing universities and fac- tories. SAIGON (A) - The looming third battle for Saigon may well be the largest and most de- structive of the seven year Viet- nam war, intelligence sources believe. The enemy command has massed elements of four divi- sions olus numerous independ- ent battalions and regiments including artillery units around the capital. Documents and prisoner in- terrogation indicate the enemy believes a victory here would put overwhelming pressure on the. United States at the Paris peace talks, paralyze the Saigon government and destroy support for the non-Communist cause. The enemy seems prepared to take massive casualties to win its point. Moren.than two divisions of American and Vietnamese troops have been assigned to protect city and suburbs. Six more U.S. and Vietnamese divi- sions are deployed farther afield around the city and there are reports of major reinforcements on the way But there is little hope that all the enemy battalions could be kept out of the city. The U.S. estimate was that it would re- quire nine divisions dug in around the city to seal it off. That many troops are not avail- able unless the countryside is to be stripped. At present it appears that the major threat is to the west of Saigon where perhaps two divisions are located. Elsewhere around the city the enemy units are in small groups awaiting a signal to mass for the attack. Their total strength is not known with any degree of pre- cision.. Three of the four Vietnamese divisions around Saigon are considered among the least ef- fective in the country. Allied troops have been large- ly unsuccessful in tracking down the enemy units as they move into position, although weapons caches have been found. These caches, in the opinion of some U.S. officers, do not represent more than a small percentage of those ready for the attack. More than 200 B52 raids have tried to break up enemy forces. There have been some indica- tions of success but U.S. sources in a position to know say many of the strikes are a day behind the actual positions of enemy troops .-- possibly because of security leaks. The first attack on Saigon came during the lunar new year holiday when there was sup- posed to be a cease-fire. This put some 4,000 enemy troops in the city and they were able. to claim a psychological and prop- aganda victory. Most of the second-wave troops were met outside or on the fringe of Saigon and when the blow fell May 5, only scat- tered units got through the suburbs and refugee belts into the city proper. Enemy troops have been in- filtrating the city for weeks in preparation for the third wave, police sources say. Weapons al- ready have been cached inside the city for squads whose iain duty will be to disrupt the city and its communications. The allies feel battalions ranged below the city to the south may make a diversion- ary attak to start the new battle, with the big units to the west launching the main blow into the Phu Tho- area betyeen the big air base of Tan Son Nhut and the Chinese section of Saigon. Allied troops so far have not had any measurable success in smashing the enemy units on their way to positions around Saigon. One major infiltration corridor comes through an area guarded almost entirely by the 5th Division, one of the Viet- namese army's least effective. U.S. sources have said this route hr chen in almost constant use ~ by enemy units, including the famed Dong Nai Regiment. Enemy plans for the third battle appear far more exten- sive than before, when the main targets were the U.S. Embassy and the palace. Such spots are expected to remain high on the list but other targets - avail- able intelligence indicates - include infiltration of suicide squads into downtown Saigon to force destruction in the city's core as well as an attempt to cut all the city's power. Last month, intelligence said the Viet Cong had threatened to hit the city with 100 rounds of rockets for 100 days. The threat was never carried out, but there is suspicion a massive barrage of rockets and mortar shells will precede a major as- sault. Together with the downtown area, major attempts are ex- pected to center the fighting in the middle and upper-class quarters of Saigon. The problem with sealing off the city is that hundreds of waterways and trails lead in from the countryside and spill into thousands of back alleys and slums. Gen. Hay said it was impassible to block all these routes but ambushes were set on major ones. Surprisingly Saigon's mood is far from one of crisis. There is no signdof panic buying. Lux- ury goods are moving almost as fast as canned goods. Work on home bunkers and sandbagging, begun at the height of rocket attacks, has all but halted. hSaigon until this y sar has es- caped virtually all the unpleas- antness of war and. the, Saigon- ese apparently still see, the, war as essentially a matter for the countryside. Their ability to panic quickly during major trouble has been demonstrated this year, but the response has always come after trouble hit full force. & DiNo No 2-6264 ",T{aTE NOW, DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the Univer- sity of Michigan for which The Michigan Dailyk'assumes no editor- al responsibility.
