U S Viet command cuts back PX travel privileges
UPI reports the U S command in Vietnam will sharply prune air transport and post exchange privileges for about 6000 American civilians including 115 accredited correspondents. Curtailments stem from a shrinking logistics base under Nixon’s withdrawal plan, with transport restricted to noncommercial flights and preapproved travel orders in Saigon. Commissary and mail privileges stay, while post exchanges drop from $25 to $5 monthly.
