'City of fear'left to Communists

SAIGON, South Vietnam (AP) For much of the last seven years, Hue has been a city of fear. Lying in the shadow of North Vietnam, the former capital of the emperors of Annam was invaded by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces at the start of the 1968 Tet offensive. Savage fighting raged through the streets for 26 days before the South Vietnamese army and its American allies regained control. Scores of U.S. Marines died in the battle. South Vietnamese officials said that afterward they found

the bodies or more than 5,000 Vietnamese buried in mass graves. They had been massacred or buried alive, hands wired behind their backs, rags stuffed into their mouths. The city was left a pile of rubble. The willed citadel, built by the emperors of Annam in the early 19th century on the pattern of Peking’s Forbidden City, was devastated. The cease-fire agreement in January 1973 brought new hope. “The soul has come back to Hue,” one young man said then. “Listen and you can hear it. Look and you can see it. This

city lives again.” The population grew to 200,000, many of them refugees from rural areas taken over by the North Vietnamese. A little ,more than a year ago the United States put up funds to employ thousands of the displaced in a public works program to erase the scars of war. Industry and private investment shunned Hue because of its proximity to North Vietnam and its lack of natural re-

Senate debates social security, oil company issues

WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite pressure for a quick tax cut, the Senate is bogged down in debate on whether the taxcut bill should raise Social Security benefits and the taxes of major oil companies. With a planned Easter recess approaching, the Senate after two full days of debate has vet

sources. The Saigon government tried to promote it to tourists because of its history. But the city had only one small, first-class hotel. There was no good road to the chief tourist attraction, six elaborate tombs scattered amid hiils and valleys 10 miles outside the city. In them were buried the royal families of Annam after 1802. History first mentions Hue about 200 8.C., when it was a Chinese military headquarters.

to consider the basic provisions of the $29.2-billion antirecession tax cut recommended by its Finance Committee. A breakthrough could come today with a vote on whether to end debate on the tax package and the side-issues of Social Security hikes and oil-industry taxes.

The kingdom of Annam, forerunner of modern Vietnam, annexed it in 1312. In 1635, when Annam was split roughly along the lines of the present division between North and South Vietnam, Hue became the seat of the Nguyen dynasty which took over the south. The Nguyens got control of the north toward the end of the 18th century, and Hue became the capital of united Annam in 1802.

But even if the motion carries, each senator would be allowed one hour of debate and that could carry the discussion well into next week. Sen. Russell B. Long, D-La., floor manager of the bill, said Wednesday: “We have yet to vote on the first tax cut for anybody.”

'Little interest shown'in inquiry into recovery

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congressional committees investigating the Central Intelligence Agency show little interest in opening full-scale inquiries into the partial recovery of a Soviet submarine from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Public disclosure of last summer’s highly classified operation raised few questions about the legality of the ClA’s attempts to raise the dieselpowered sub. Deep sea salvage operations in search of another nation’s sunken vessels are acceptable under international law once the ship is given up for lost. Meanwhile, NBC-TV said American and British forces once recovered electronic gear from a Soviet aircraft which crashed in the North Sea and American personnel recovered electronic equipment from a sunken Soviet vessel in the Sea of Japan and a nuclear weapon from a Russian airplane that crashed in the Sea of Japan. The publicity focused on the Seek removal of I.U. dean INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The state Supreme Court rule mandating courses for law students has prompted opponents to seek removal of the Indiana University law school dean, Chief Justice Richard M. Givan said Wednesday. Dean William F. Harvey assisted the court in drafting the rule, which followed a two-year study of why law students were failing the bar exam. Before the rule, some law schools were “perpetrating fraud on the students by taking their money and time and not providing an education,” Givan told the Indianapolis Bar Association.

Soviet sub operation made it seem likely that plans to go back for the most valuable items, believed still on the ocean floor, would be abandoned. About one-third of the vessel was raised, but this did not include communications codes and atomic warhead missiles. military sources said. The submarine was found to be in four or five pieces on the ocean floor, according to today’s Washington Post. The Post reported that one unnamed source said the portion of the submarine successfully recovered included part of the conning tower where the submarine’s missiles were housed. The newspaper said this indicated that at least one of the nuclear missile warheads may have been salvaged.

The Soviet G-class submarine went down in 1968 in 16,000-feet of water about 750 miles northwest of Oahu, Hawaii, with the loss of 70 men. The recovery operation was carried out by the Glomar Explorer, a salvage ship built for the project by billionaire Howard Hughes. The Glomar Explorer, an expensively equipped 618-foot recovery vessel, is berthed in a private dock in Long Beach, Calif. A huge barge also used in the project and capable of going underwater to insure secrecy is in port at Redwood City, Calif. The Redwood City fire marshal said he wants to make a safety inspection of the barge.
