Trials for Graft Set By Saigon
Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Thieu announced that about 50 South Vietnamese military officers from generals to lieutenants will face disciplinary councils on charges of incompetence and corruption. Some four or five generals may be tried, with penalties from demotion to dismissal. The move comes days before the presidential election campaign as civilian candidates cry foul at military involvement. Premier Nguyen Cao Ky predicted a landslide for Thieu and Ky, while a civilian candidate urged restraint on troop deployments, arguing more US forces are not needed.
