Show DEC. THURSDAY, 16. 1976 NOTHING LITTLE ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS We Left $5 Billion Behind In Vietnam By JOHN F. MCMANUS Early in November, the Pentagon released a report which listed the American-supplie- d equipment left behind when South Vietnam was finally abandoned. The stockpiles were valued at IS billion and, according to the Associated Press, the material was sufficient to field an entire army, navy, and air force." n K M A A I guns. Maybe he's right. Then again, maybe the condition of this equipment is better indicated by reports that the Reds are already shipping some of it to Communist insurgents in Thailand. We might also recall with in Southeast Asia by the candidates. Presidential President Ford repeatedly suggested that he should be because he had Hanois forces gobbled up 466 helicopters, 73 F5 fighter planes, 113 A37 light bombers, and 250 miscellaneous aircraft. Thev aim captured 42,000 trucks, 940 small snips, and the staggering total of 130.000 tons of ammunition. National Guard units here at home that are still suffering from a shortage of radios will be interested to know ' that 48,000 radios were alsc Jft fnr the North Vietnamese. This report, of course, contains no mention of the numerous airfields, port facilities, and buildings that are now in Red hands. In an attempt to minimize this colossal Red windfall, a Pentagon official stated that the equipment parts. disgust the treatment accorded our immense defeat The list includes 550 tanks, 1300 howitzers and large caliber guns, 1.600.000 rifles, 12,000 mortars, 90,000 pistols, and 15,000 machine unserviceable" as a result of weather conditions, damage inflicted by retreating South Vietnamese, or lack of spare could be peace. PresideCarter conceded the point and never once asked about the cost, either to the victims or to America's honor. It was as if the nt-elect F S a tl to a s I c' c II tl n 0 f 1990. Perhaps, this explains why our nations energy planners in Washington are still waiting around to gel started on a program to make the United States nt 7 I Hanoi unless we got it. ' Why Hanoi doesnt simply state that all of our MIAs are now dead remains a mys- tery. The Reds certainly have nothing to lose. Surely neither Gerald Ford nor one should be blamed. Jimmy Carter will have to work hard to exceed the degradat- ion to which our nation has been brought as a result of Washington's handling of the Vietnam War. One matter sure to cross the new Presidents desk is the status of those 2,495 MIAs. If only one of them is still alive, no effort should be spared to rescue him. But the chances of ever seeing any of those men again continue to fade with every passing day. And so too does the greatness of America, now abandoning her own 'men just as she abandoned her allies in Southeast Asia. with Rose 250-S4.7- Ascorbic 250 $3.70 AcW 5 HM-H- I 100 Ascorbic Acid 500 $8.75 lb.
