The U. S. government will provide the military hardware under a $335 million contract signed with Saudi Arabia in 1974 that includes Vinnell's fee. Saudi Arabia will pay the U.S. government, whichpwilltin turn pay Vinnell. Vinnell Corporation execu- tives and the American military men so far recruited for the job are sensitive about sugges- tions that they are organizing what some might consider a mercenary expedition. "MAYBE this contract has come about because the politi- cal climate of the day might be against the U. S. military send- ing such a big team," said Vinnell's general manager for special projects, Bob Montgom- ery, who returned to Los An- geles on Thursday from a visit to Saudi Arabia. "But we are not creating a mercenary force. This is a one-time thing to do a specific job." A former U. S. army officerI said: "We are not mercenaries: because we are not pulling the triggers, we train people to pull triggers." Another officer, laughed and said: "Maybe that makes us executive mercenar- ies." The Vinnell contract is part of a vast program under way inJ Saudi Arabia to spend billions of dollars of oil profits to strengthen the armed forces. Partly because the Saudis are relying on a U.S. Defense De-' partment study of their mili- tary requirements, they are buying American-made North- I rop F5E jet fighters, Bell heli-' copters, Cadillac Gage armored personnel carriers. Other private American firms already in Saudi Arabia on military and related projects are Lockheed Aircraft and Ray- theon. AVCO is training and modernizing the coast guard. The 163 military advisers listed at U. S. Military Advisory head- quarters are concerned with the regular Saudi army. -( (Continued from Page 1) 1o isitng: before Tuesday."

The union is seeking an overall 12 per cent pay hike and a $200 reduction in tuition for all teaching fellows and other em- ployes it represents. For the past week, the Uni- versity - both student and faculty - have been readying for the potential strike. Several meetings to organize under- graduate support for the walk- out have been held. In addition, tthe faculty and administration have met to de- velop contingency plans if the graduate employes do throw picket lines up. Although their attitude seems to be one of "wait and see," many profes- sors have already scheduled classes off-campus.
