Only 13 Of 660 Want To Go Home North Viet Prisoners Refuse Repatriation
Saigon reports 12 of 660 sick and wounded North Vietnamese POWs sought repatriation on June 4 while 647 others remained in South Vietnam. The decision surprised officials in the United States and Saigon, and could affect future exchanges. The attempt to repatriate began at the Paris talks. Hanoi later agreed to receive many, with terms including a 24 hour cease fire near the DMZ. The ceremony was planned at sea near the DMZ.

Ky shifts to political solution amid Vietnam war debate
Siagon based Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, previously a hawk, now advocates a political settlement to the Indo China conflict due to public opinion shifts in America. He campaigns for the October 4 presidential election, potentially opposing Thien, with Gen. Duong Van Minh seen as another candidate. Ky emphasizes peacetime options if military victory proves impossible, while U.S. officials say they will stay detached from the race as deadline approaches.
