Refugees from Vietnam and Cambodia settle in at Camp Pendleton and Fort Chaffee forming camp governments headed by a local spokesman. Dean L. Brown reports to governors that about 125000 South Vietnamese must be absorbed or diverted. Pentagon notes 11000+ refugees already in new homes and similar processing continues. Pham Thi Muoi, a 25 year old fluent in English, expresses gratitude to Americans and readiness to help others. Diplomatic notes from Kissinger seek European help. Subic Bay reports over 60000 refugees ferried recently. A local informal government at Pendleton plans language schools and a post office to aid integration coordinated with US agencies.

County budget could raise tax rate $1.22 per $100
County supervisors back a $102.3 million 1975 76 budget with a plan to cut it at hearings starting June 4. A $1.22 tax boost per $100 of assessed value is possible to fund the gap, as revenue sharing funds shrink and positions rise, while efforts aim to keep the rate below the state maximum.

House panel trims DOD weapons budget while defense plan stands
The House Armed Services Committee cut 3.7 billion from the Defense Department weapons program, with 1.3 billion tied to South Vietnam aid. It kept funding for the B1 bomber and trimmed 45 million from Trident submarine development, while Aspin decried the cuts as phony. The measure outlines a 15 month period July 1 1975 to Sept 30 1976 and sets military pay and end-strength levels.
