South Vietnam asks UN probe of Paracel dispute with China
Saigon conceded military victory to China in the Paracel Islands fight and urged the UN Security Council to take up the dispute. Foreign Minister Vuong Van Bac sent a note to Secretary-General Waldheim, with South Vietnam's U.N. observer arranging talks. China claimed self defense and noted repatriation of captives. Saigon reported losses on both sides, including 11 Vietnamese killed and 35 wounded, with 150 troops missing. The battle, near Hainan and about 250 miles east of Vietnam, centers on oil prospects and long disputed title dating back to the Annamite empire. The Tet holiday defense alert followed, with clashes and cease-fire violations reported across the country.
