Clark Denies He Made Broadcasts
SAN FRANCISCO UPD Ramsey Clark denied Monday that he had ever made any broadcasts over Radio Hanoi during his visit to North Vietnam. He said comments in Hanoi may have been taped and aired but he did not speak on Radio Hanoi. He reported Hanoi’s foreign ministry guaranteed immediate POW releases after a war ending treaty, and a North Vietnamese editor suggested some prisoners might be freed on inauguration day if McGovern won, with all by 90 days after the new administration takes office. Clark described a positive POW group he met in a camp, in good health and spirits.
