"major scandal" has developed over the illegal export of scrap brass.
Time says "much of the high-level corruption can be traced directly to
the complicity of Americans. 11 Time makes clear the US Gov't anger
over the corruption - - especially the drug traffic.
An appraisal from a US intelligence officer comes in US News. He
says the opposition to Thieu is better organized for propaganda and
strongly suggests many of Saigon's paper are financed by Hanoi as they
constantly call for "peace now¹¹ and expose the scandals. As October
draws nearer, anti-Americanism -- from Reds and GVN supporters will
become more overt. He expects at the end, a political compromise
between N and S - - very little change from '54. A gloomy assessment
tho this long-time observer feels it was better that the US has been involved.

flesh-pressing and evoked a surprising show of affection deep in the heart
1
of Dixie. 11 Again the Dent josh - - "This completes the Southern strategy¹¹ - -

"dalliance with China" should not cause them to regard themselves as
"victims of a major truth-in-packaging fraud. 11
