SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TEMEJO US. Servicemen a Boon to Saigon Brothels Ba rs SAIGON (P)-The gaudy neon - signs blink, quickly moving high heels resound in the street, and a drunken American voice roars "Come on, baby!" The time is 11:30 p.m. in Saigon, closing hour in the bars of the South Vietnamese capital, which Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark) has called "an American brothel." Into Dingy Keely's bar come two military policemen, their ri- fles raised high. "Show your ID's (identifica- tion cards) !" they shout. Outside, pedicab drivers wait for their last fare before the mid- night curfew and girls pour out by the hundreds after a long day's work as hostesses-one of the most lucrative businesses in war-torn Viet Nam. Some are widows, their husbands slain in the interminable war. Some are wives of government of- ficials whose salaries can't feed the family. Some are there be- cause nothing pays more in Sai- gon today than the profession of barroom hostess. They line the smoke-filled bars, pinch the legs of combat-weary American GI's and promise more --all for tiny glasses of tepid li- quid known as Saigon tea, at a dollar a glass. Their ranks are countless - no one knows exactly how many Viet- namese women work as bar host- esses, prostitutes or are simply kept by lonely American men in a strange land. The presence of 271,000 Ameri- can troops in Viet Nam, and par- ticularly of the 30,000 Americans stationed in Saigon, has had a deep impact on the nation's life. Charges have been made that families have been broken and moral values shattered. Some of this is true - just as true as the war pounding day and night at a country where a dainty girl, 20 years old, in her trim na- tive Iai costume has not known any other life but that of uncer- tainty, Some left villages harassed by Viet Cong guerrillas at night and pounded by American planes by day. But many do not engage in prostitution. They work in bars merely to "keep company" with Americans and carefully stash away their Saigon tea tickets. Their profits depend on the day's consumption and some make twice as much as the official salary of the prime minister-25,000 pias- ters or about $209 a month. There are other girls -- from the university, from middle-class families-who often like to meet blond American boys roaming the streets in search of an oriental adventure. American military and civilian officials say the situation repre- sents nothing new-that all this has existed before, in Paris, Rome, Naples and the bombed-out cities of occupied Germany after World War II, And the same thing ex- isted in World War I and back into the mists of the history of wars. Now the girls are expressing concern about efforts to disperse the concentration of American in- Said the committee chairman, Mrs1 stallations in Saigon. City officials, on their part, are planning to build a special town on the outskirts of the capital to which bars and prostitutes could be moved. The latest impetus to the move was given by the newly formed or- ganization known as "A Commit- tee for the Defense of the Viet- namese Woman's Human Dignity and Rights." It was founded by several hun- dred women educators, writers and social workers and immediately it took on anti-American overtones. Phan Thai Cua: "It is disgusting to see our girls in company of overgrown Americans. I often can- not sleep at night thinking of our 13 and 14-year-old girls walking hand in hand with huge foreign- ers." The Saigon daily newspapers are full of gaudy accounts of the ad- ventures of foreigners, as the Americans are called here. The English of the Saigon Eng- lish-language papers is as blunt as the scenes described: "Foreign- er Accused of Rape," "Grenade Kills Three in Cat House," "Cat House with Cave Raided." Then there are the illegitimate children by troops who finish their tour in Viet Nam. In recent months, adoption agencies have mushroomed in Saigon. Their ads as well as those advertising "mar- riages with respectable Vietnamese girls" are prominently displayed in newspapers. "The fastest way for you. We perform everything for you. Only come and sign and you'll get your license," the ads say. Just below, another larger ad promises "have more fun for your money.,. save time with our host- esses." es-s-es."M Warsaw Call fort Seek End ofA All Military Alliances Iron Curtain Nations « Suggest European$ Security Conference 4 BUCHAREST, Romania (P) -" East European Communists call-s ed yesterday for an East-West 4 agreement to abolish military al- liances on both sides of the Iron' Curtain and for a European se- curity conference. The 18-page declaration had been signed Tuesday by leaders of nations in the Warsaw Pact, East - Europe's military alliance.

He that excludes destruction of North Viet Nam-were giving the sug- gestion any serious consideration. Meanwhile, in Honolulu, Defense Secretary Robest S.

During their sessions behind closed doors, McNama-ra and the nilitary men . discussed ways of getting supplies through South Viet Nam's inadequate port facili- ties.

"The philosophical debate that has emerged in the movement ne- cessitates a meeting such as this," he said. The purpose, as he defined it, would be to determine "where we go from here." In Washington, it was announc-, ed that Sen. Robert Kennedy (D- NY) will lend support to efforts for building an integrated Dem- ocratic party in Mississippi, coun- teracting the current swing to- wards separate organization for "black power." Three House members-two of them Southerners-will also join in helping to raise funds for Mis- sissippi youths who have organiz- ed about 20 to 30 integrated Young Democratic clubs in different areas of their state. pect allied troops to join in such a venture. "In order to finish the war, we should envisage the destruction of the enemy's installations," Lt. Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu told young Vietnamese officers gradu- ating from the Thu Duc military school. "We should include in this a ground attack against North Viet Nam, which is not impossible. The landing of troops on enemy ter- ritory will be carried out if nec- essary in our self-defense to force the invader to stop his plan of action for conquest of all South- east Asia and to preserve peace for the entire world." American authorities had no for- mal comment on the remarks by the normally inconspicuous fig- urehead of Premier Nguyen Cao Ky's government, but Washing- ton's private reaction was dis- tinctly cool.
