PHNOM PENH -U.S. authorities were
reported! Thursday to be considering
establishment of a "little Berlin airlift" to
fly desperately needed fuel supplies to
Phnom Penh to ease a crisis caused by
Communist blockade of ro2d and river
shipments to the Cambodian capital.
- Diplomatic sources in Phnom Penh
said American military transport planes
may have to be used to transport
petroleum to the capital if the
May new date
for combat end
W A S H I NGTON The U.S. ground
combat role in South Vietnam will end
with the completion of the current phase
of U.S. troop withdrawals May 1,
administration officials said Thursday.
Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird, in
Bangkok, Thailand, on a round-the-world
inspection trip, said that most U.S. forces
"with a combat assignment or a combat
responsibility" will have been withdrawn
by May 1 .
The remaining ground combat troops
in Vietnam, he said, would be assigned a
security role, protecting themselves and
the remaining support forces.
Both Laird and Pentagon spokesman
Jerry W. Friedheim emphasized that U.S.
air and artillery forces still would be
shooting and being shot at after the
"ground combat" phase of the war is
over. And Vietnamese units will
to be heavily laced with U.S. advisers.
But there will be no new combat
missions initiated in the ground, no new
military objectives assigned, and few if
anypatrols sent beyond the base camp
perimeters, officials said.
A mild dispute arose over the number
of combat personnel that will remain in
South Vietnam after the May 1 target

WASHINGTON The first "accurate"
federal census of city and county jail
inmates showed that more than half had
not been convicted of the charges for
which they were being held, the
government reported Thursday.
Of the 160,863 persons who were in
the nation's local lockups March 15, the
date of the headcount, 35 per cent had
been arraigned but were awaiting trial and
17 per cent still had not appeared in
court at all or were being detained for
other authorities.
The total inmate population included
7,800 juveniles.

Israel accused Egypt Thursday of
sending four of its Soviet-made Sukhoi 7
supersonic jet fighter-bombers across the
Suez Canal in violation of the Middle East
cease-fire. An authorative Israeli military
advance warned of a possible attempt by
the Egyptians to cross the canal this year
with Soviet help.
The accusation and warning came as
the United Nations announced that U.N.
mediator Gunnar V. Jarring would fly to
Tfriicii1im ThiircHav frrm Wfw Yrrlr frr
two days of talks with Premier Golda
Meir, Foreign Minister Abba Eban and

The Middle East peace talks were
resumed Tuesday after a four-month
suspension following Israel's withdrawal
in protest against Egyptian violations of
the original U.S.-inspired cease-fire
agreement last August.
In Jerusalem, an Israeli military
spokesman said two pairs of Egypt's
Sukhoi 7's flew over Israeli positions on
the occupied east bank of the Suez Canal
Wednesday in another violation of the
Aug. 7 cease-fire. He said a formal
complaint was filed Thursday with the
COMlllIOOS
Enforcement Assistance Administration
(LEAA), also found that many city and
county jail inmates were being kept in
"less than human conditions" for various
reasons.
The statistics, made public by
Attorney General John N. Mitchell, were
gathered as part of a broad study of the
nation's jails and provided what was
described as the "first accurate
measurement of jail population."
Richard W. Velde, LEAA associate
administrator, said the full report will be
issued later this year "and it will contain
detailed information on such critical areas
as overcrowding, lack of facilities and age
of jails."

Gen. Frederick C. Weyand, deputy
U.S. commander in South Vietnam, flew
to Phnom Penh Thursday to confer with
Premier Lon Nol, apparently concerning
the fuel crisis and the general
deterioration in Cambodia's military
situation.
U.S. Defense Secretary Melvin R.
Laird, who is to arrive in Saigon Friday,
may make the determination as to
whether the airlift is necessary in a
scheduled meeting with Adm. John S.
McCain, U.S. commander in the Pacific.
In 1948 and 1949, after the Soviets
blockaded ground traffic to West Berlin,
the United States and Britain set up a
marathon airlift to supply the isolated
city, transporting more than two million
tons of food and coal.
Elsewhere in Indochina, U.S. B52
bombers struck the northern corner of
South Vietnam for the third time this
week in an effort to shut off new
Communist supply routes.
To the south, South Vietnamese
troops sweeping the U Minh forest, a
longtime Viet Cong stronghold in the
Mekong Delta, killed 41 Communists,
military spokesmen said.

of the Soviet Union, would attempt an
amphibious crossing of the Suez Canals
this year. j

MOSCOW-Three Russian men
stopped an American diplomat outside a
Moscow theater, the diplomat said
Thursday, grasped him by the lapels while
his wife looked on and asked, "How
would you like to be treated the way
Zionist thugs treat our diplomats in
America?"
The Wednesday night street scene
marked the first incident of physical
harassment suffered by Americans since
the Soviets indicate I Tuesday there could
be reprisals for attacks upon Russians in
the United States.
In Washington, State Department
spokesman John F. King disclosed that
the United States had again rejected a
Soviet contention that it might not be
able to insure the safety of Americans in
Russia.
A steady stream of Soviet citizens
delegations entered the U.S. Embassy
peaceably to deliver protest letters over
the reported abuse of Russians in
America. At least five such groups,
numbering about 23 persons ranging from
factory hands to professors, had visited
the embassy by nightfall.
The diplomat, who asked not to be
identified, said he talked his way out of
the tense situation and parted with a
round of handshakes.
He said he and his wife were trying to

The FTC said Telex hearing aids,
contrary to their advertising, neither are
new inventions nor have new mechanical
or scientific principles, are not invisible
when worn, and will not enable many
people with hearing disabilities to
consistantly distinquish sounds in group
conversations or amid background
noise. The agency said Telex
advertisements also create the "false
impression" that the firm offers free
books on hearing disabilities with no
strings attached.

Army drug misuse
concerns probe head
SAIGON-The chairman of a House
Armed Services subcommittee probing
drug abuse by American servicemen said
Thursday night that the problem, if left
unchecked, could "lead to the downfall
of America."
Rep. G. Elliot Hagan, D-Ca., and four
members of his subcommittee arrived in
Saigon Thursday, 24 hours after the U.S.
command released a 50-page directive to
units outlining steps to check an
explosion of drug use by American
serviceman in Vietnam.
Hagan said he was "deeply concerned"
about the findings in the directive, which
said up to 45 per cent of all American
servicemen in Vietnam are believed to
have used hard drugs or marihuana. It
said deaths due to drugs were as much as
70 per cent higher than previously
believed.
Hagan said he didn't care what the
program cost because "we must find out
the extent of this problem. We must take
action."
Besides providing an amnesty program
for soldiers on drugs, the directive
ordered air and ground searches for
marijuana fields and ordered barracks
searches and baggage and mail
inspections.

"I told them I don't need to listen to
you because this was being handled
through government channels. I started to
get into my car and that's when one of
them grabbed me by my lapels, to keep
me from getting in," he said.
"It was rather unpleasant at first," he
said, "but after we talked awhile things
eased. In the end we smiled and shook
hands and I left."
It also ordered a 15-fold increase in
dogs trained to sniff out marijuana.
Hagan said, "I am very impressed with
the amnesty program. I'm delighted to
see action has been started."
The subcommittee has held hearings
on the problem for more than six
months.
