"THIEU SEES everyone who
opposes him as a Communist,"
argues Ho Ngoc Nhuan, opposi-

Varner claimed that "after
some discussion with HEW, we
are in mutual agreement that the
affirmative action plan we were
already in the process of doing
will be an adequate response"
Varner said that plan will not
be completed until later this sum-
mer.
THE BASIS for the present af-
firmative action plan was origi-
nated in 1970 when a discrimina-
tion suit filed by a local women's
group caused the University
massive losses in federal con-
tracts on a ruling by HEW's
civil rights office.
In its specific criticism of the
University employment situation,
the letter of findings points out
ers, politicians, old men, women,
even children."
Nhuan cites Hoa Bin newspa-
pers which last November quoted
Thieu's closest adviser, Hoang
Duc Nha, as saying 50,000 Com-
munists were rounded up he-
tween Oct. 31 and Nov. 9, 1972.
"If 50,000 were imprisoned in
nine days, how many were im-
prisoned in nine weeks, nine
months, nine years?" he asks.

that while the University reports
it has recruited more minority
and female applicants, 1972 data
indicates that the 17 highest pay-
ing positions were filled by 17
white males.
As a general trend, the letter
continues, the University's hiring
practices consider salary equity
without regard to the job classi-
fications women are hired into.
SINCE THERE are jobs at the
University that are segregated by
sex, the letter claims, "salary
discrepancies exist between men
and women in different job cate-
gories (one predominantly male,
the other predominantly female)
whose duties and responsibilities
are substantially equal and fre-
quently overlap.
JUDGE TRAN THUC LINH,
now prominent in the prison re-
form movement, claims to have
seen interrogators pour sewage-
water into the mouths of prison-
ers until their bellies swelled.
Lin's accounts date back to
1968 and 1969, but he claims no-
thing has changed.
"I have seen ropes hooked to
the ceiling to hang a victim by
his arms during torture ses-

The file review system, which
officially expired last March, was
termed "not an effective mechan-
ism for the review of salary
discrepancies," by the H E W
communication. One p r o b 1 e m
with the system was that the
files of women employes were
not reviewed by the University
unless their predicted salary was
10 per cent or more above their
actual salary.
The University's nepotism pol-
icy was another point of con-
tention. The policy "has been in-
terpreted in such a way as to
consistently work against the
female" when both husband and
wife are employed by the Uni-
versity, the HEW letter claims.

"I HAVE SEEN people cover-
ed in blood supporting people ev-
en bloodier back to their cells
after interrogation."
The judge, who was himself
jailed for a month on unspecified
charges in 1968, claimed prison-
ers were beaten, pins stuck un-
der their finger-nails and electric
shocks administered to breasts,
ears and genitals.
He said prisoners were placed
in a barrel and water dripped on

RECENTLY several ailing and
semi-paralyzed Vietnamese who
claim to have been released ear-
lier this year from the "Tiger
Cages" of the Con Son Island pri-
son told of squalid living condi-
tions and torture there.
But government officials said
no prisoners had been released
at the time these people said
they were and that the men are
imposters and their stories fab-
ricated.
The government has since per-
mitted foreign diplomats to visit
Con Son. The diplomats reported
seeing no sign of brutality but
added that many inmates said
they did not know why they were
there.
"A treat for armchair detectives. I had fun with it, and I
think you will too. It reminds me of those good old-fashioned
whodunits - the dialogue is sharp, clever and pungent. It's
mystery, mayhem and high camp on the high seas.
-Bob Salmaggi, Group W (WINS)
"An elaborate cinematic puzzle. This whodunit takes on the
intricacy of Christie's 'Ten Little Indians'"
-Paul D. Zimmerman, Newsweek
"'THE LAST OF SHEILA' is a good deal of fun, like one of those
tricky, after-dinner party games. Dyan Cannon gives a very good, very
comic performance." -Vincent Canby, New York Times
"I recommend it to you! It is slick entertainment with sustained sus-
pense and a first-rate cast. It is devilishly clever."

THE
LAST
OF
SHEILA
-Stewart Klein, WNEW-TV
"See it twice! 'THE LAST OF SHEI-
LA' is my kind of movie - fast,
flashy, sophisticated and demanding.
This crackling mystery is bang-up
entertainment! It is ten times better
than 'Sleuth'."-Liz Smith, Cosmopolitan
"A complex, twisted, juicy, devilish
little murder mystery that will have
whodunit fans wringing their hands
with glee! Superb performances."
-Jeffrey Lyons, WPIX-TV
"The suspense is throttling! With
each closeup of a doorknob the ten-
sion mounts. A frenzy that would
make Alfred Hitchcock's chest ex-
pand with pride."
-Rex Reed, N.Y. Daily News
"An intricate who-done-it in the Aga-
tha Christie tradition. A web of mur-
der and suspicion."
-Kevin Sanders, WABC-TV
