Viet factory workers push dispersal of war industry
Amando Doronila and Hai Duong report from Vietnam on a dispersed economy that coaxes small workshops from ruins and jungled villages. In Hai Duong, a 60 worker tool factory operates on a dirt floor with a crude furnace, producing 50 000 plowheads 12 000 hoes and 16 000 spades along with hardware. In Phat Diem children weave reeds into ropes for mats and baskets later finished by women in a thatch hut workshop. In Nam Dinh a girl cuts axle grooves in a concrete trench while a man makes cartwheel rims nearby, as shelters and anti aircraft nests line the streets.
