SAIGON (P) - Viet Cong sabo-
teurs who sent much of South
Vietnam's biggest oil depot up in
smoke yesterday forced the gov-
ernment to impose more tough
measures to conserve already
short fuel supplies.
The dawn rocket and mortar
attack at Nha Be, six miles from
Saigon, was the closest to the
capital since the cease-fire 10
months ago. Military sources es-
timated up to half the country's
fuel' reserves burned.
FLAMES STILL licked into the
sky at nightfall and black clouds
from explosions and fires hung
over Saigon.
The government announced
in the wake of the attack that
gasoline will be rationed. Gas
stations, ordered closed just af-
ter the attack to prevent panic
buying, will reopen today. But
sales are banned on Saturdays
and Sundays.
The minister of trade and in-
dustry, Nguyen Duc Cuong, an-
nounced a wide range of other
fuel-conservation measures, in-
cluding a 35-mile-per-hour high-
way speed limit, a 50 per cent
cutback in street lighting and a
ban on advertising lights.
CUONG ALSO ordered an ad-
ditional 15 per cent cut in elec-
tricity use by government of-
fices, adding to a 25 per cent
cut decreed earlier.
Viet Cong spokesperson in
Saigon refused to comment on
the attack except to say they
had "seen the smoke but have
not received any report about it."
A U. S. source said the raid,
which reporterdly destroyed al-
most all the Shell fuel stored at
Nha Be, will create immense fuel
storage problems in the near fu-
ture. Shell is by far the largest
fuel supplier to South Vietnam,
with 60 per cent of the civilian
market.
BUT THE source said Caltex
and Esso storage facilities at the
tank farm were untouched.
Lt. Col. Le Trung ien, chief
spokesperson for the South Viet-
namese military command, said
the Nha Be facility stored fuel
for civilian use. Other sources
said fuel for military use also
was stored there.
Hien acknowledged the loss
would affect the armed forces.
But he claimed military re-
serves have not yet reached a
critical stage adding that the
armed forces normally maintain
a reserve supply of 30-60 days.
SOUTH VIETNAMESE mili-
tary sources said the attack
marked the first "Phase of what
they predicted would be a gener-
al offensive by the Viet Cong
and their North Vietnamese al-
lies during the height of the dry
season early next year.
U. S. and oil company sources
in Saigon said South Vietnamese
military fuel supplies no longer
are handled by Shell, Caltex and
Esso via Singapore refining fa-
cilities.
Unconfirmed reports indicated
military fuel supplies were be-
ing shipped directly from the
United States. A U. S. military
spokesperson declined comment,
saying sensitive negotiations
were in progress.
THE UNITED STATES funds
almost all fuel supplies for South
Vietnam, civilian and military.
