Airlift Runs Round-the-Clock as Evacuation Expands
At Clark Air Base in the Philippines thousands of Americans and Vietnamese dependents crowd a tent colony as the South Vietnam evacuation goes 24 hours. About 3,000 people aboard 40 planes are due to land every 30 to 45 minutes, bringing evacuations from Saigon to 6,500 since April 4. Officials say fewer than 2,000 Americans remain in Saigon, though numbers of Vietnamese dependents are not estimated. Evacuees complain of tent living in a field, while Col. Paul Wragg notes the base is overwhelmed after prior overcrowding. Four chartered aircraft with 1,200 seats are set to depart Clark Wednesday.
