Army Probes Kickback Allegations In Vietnam NCO Clubs
The Army investigates alleged kickbacks to NCO club managers in Vietnam exposed by entertainer Reuben Noel. He cites payments from performers to secure bookings, with figures around 50 dollars per show and up to 10 percent of fees, amid a Pentagon probe led by Defense Secretary Laird. No charges yet, but several sergeants are linked and investigations extend to Europe and Washington. Noel, a Phoenix resident who has contacted Senator Goldwater, is not releasing correspondence due to accused rights. Generals Abrams' command oversees the probe as 40 investigators work the case.
