Bommarito Reprinted Although little attention has been given to it in the American press since the phony cease-fir- e truce arranged by Henry Kissinger, the Vietnam War still rages. The fighting is often more furious than it was at any time during the U.S. involvement. Since the phony Paris peace agreement, some 80,000 Vietnamese have been killed. North Vietnam has moved deeper into the South, and is waging ten-ye- From The REVIEW violation of the truce. The Communists battle-read- y troop strength in the South is now put at 300,000. In recent weeks Communists have warfare made gains with small-unoverrunning militia outposts in the Mekong Delta and ranger camps in the Central Highlands. They have also acmade major gains with larger-untion near the central coast dty of Da Nang, sending thousands of refugees fleeing South. The Communists logistics system has also been much improved since the UJS. stopped bombing in Indochina. New roads and pipelines give them a capability they have never before had. And the North Vietnamese have stepped up their harassment of South Vietnam civilians. Statistics now available in Washington tell the story: In one district of Quangnai Province, 130 it ar it war far exceeding the tolerable levels set up by the January 1973 agreement. The Communists have established divisional fronts and are in- all-weat- creasing their regimental attacks, artillery barrages, and air strikes. Hanoi has greatly increased the size of its army and stockpiles of military supplies in the South. Observers estimate that some 150,000 fresh troops have been infiltrated into the South in direct OF THE for a major movePSITY JAN8 NEWS homes were recently burned to the ground to discredit Saigons power. The civilians were then liberated to areas controlled by the Communists to work as slave labor. In Quangnam Province, Vietcong raiders forcibly transported 10,000 civilians to the west to work as Held hands and pack carriers. Refugees who managed to escape the Communist transfer reported that Hanoi aimed to capture 20,000 civilians to bolster its labor force. And all of this under the watchful eye of the International Commission of Control and Supervision (I.C.C.S.), made up of .Iran, Indonesia, Poland, and Hungary. This shameful truce team was preparing to pull out of Vietnam in late. September because of a lack of funds when the UJS. came to the rescue. It made an advance payment of OF UTAH 1975 $4,080,000 to keep trie supposed overseers of the cease-fir- e moratorium in the countryside at least through the rest of this year. Most of the original $24.5 million cost of maintaining the I.C.C.S. was to have been financed by the United States, South Vietnam, the Vietcong, and North Vietnam. To date only the United States has paid its share of the cost. South Vietnam says with some credibility that it lacks the funds, and Hanoi refuses to pay anything until the U.S. starts giving aid to the North. The I.C.C.S. has been ineffective in its policing job for two main reasons. One is that it needs the cooperation of the two contending Vietnamese belligerents, which it does not have and was never expected to have. The other is that while Iran and Indonesia maintain a neutralist posture, the Poles and "CohT inuVJTm page 1 1 ilsns by Phoebe Courtney HANDGUN CONFISCATION URGED BY GOVERNMENT-SPONSOR- D COMMISSION he would have been considered not THIS IS NOT AN OIL CRISIS- but would only a for a candidate been have ITS A GOLD CRISIS! treatment! scare-mong- What is behind this drive to disarm law-abidin- er psychiatric This recommendation is contained in a 318-pareport by the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, financed by a $1.75 million g citizens ? gc Copyright 1974 gTant from the Justice UTAH INDEPENDENT Departments l.aw Enforcement 57 Oakland Avenue Salt Lake City, Utah 84115 Assistance ftocond Class Pottage (LEAA).
