Viet Civilians Loot Camp As GIs Depart
Several hundred Vietnamese civilians invaded the Camp Alpha departure camp at Tan Son Nhut on the final day of the U.S. troop withdrawal. They broke fences and looted the mess hall, grabbing bread, sugar, chairs, tables, and cooking utensils while Vietnamese guards and a Vietnamese MP stood by. American officers and a handful of MPs later drove the mob out as the U.S. Military Command handed the area to the Embassy. Sgt. Charles Dennis of Easton, Pa., bound for Thailand, was among those affected.
