North Vietnamese on the march
On the road to Saigon?
By NEA/London Economist News Service
SAIGON - (LENS) - The
North Vietnamese are on the
march again. They have
made further advances in the
Central Highlands, an easy
target not just because the
government’s forces are isol
ated and its communications
exceedingly tenuous, but be
cause major battles in this
area attract less attention
than minor skirmishes along
the more clearly defined
lines of battle farther north.
The present thrust is cen
tered on the remote high
lands province ofQuang Due.
A month ago, North Viet
namese tanks and infantry
overran three government
bases there, Bu Bong, Bu
Prang and Dak Song, effec
tively isolating much of the
lonely province from the rest
of the country by road.
Now, in the biggest series
of coordinated attacks seen
in South Vietnam since the
January ceasefire, they have
captured a small district
town, Kien Due, at the
southern end of the province.
Its garrison managed to hold
out for about 12 hours. Then,
when the North Vietnamese
brought up the fourth batch
of reinforcements, the gar
rison withdrew, with most of
the town’s 4,000-odd people
trailing behind.
Kien Due has little intrinsic

value. It is a dusty town with
a market, a few shops and
some woodcutters’ shacks.
But its loss is significant for
two reasons. It is the first
government town in South
Vietnam to fall to the com
munists since the ceasefire.
Second, its fall appears to
threaten the rest of the prov
ince, and particularly its
capital town, Gia Nghia, 15
miles to the east.
The South Vietnamese task
force of about 4,000 men
which for a month had been
vainly trying to recapture Bu
Bong and Bu Prang camps
north of Kien Due now finds
itself marooned between two
communist forces. The prov
ince’s main airstrip, just east
of Kien Due, has been closed
by shellfire. Without this
airlink, it is hard to see how
reinforcements can get in un
til the major roads into the
province are reopened.
Why Quang Due? One popu
lar theory is that the commu
nists are mainly interested in
pushing through the blockage
this area interposes in their
supply corridor running all
the way from North Vietnam
to their base-areas 80 miles
north of Saigon. This will
give them the necessary
logistical back-up for any
future assault on the capital.
Whether they also want to
occupy Gia Nghia and to
shake Saigon morale by rais
ing the Vietcong flag over a
provincial capital remains
unclear.
Coming the day after the
communists’ destruction of
South Vietnam’s biggest fuel
storage installation at Nha
Be, six miles outside Saigon,
the loss of Kien Due weighs
heavily on President Thieu’s
government.
The world oil crisis makes
it certain that the govern
ment is going to have great
difficulty in replacing the
15.3 million gallons that went
up in flames. Now hopes that
the army would be able to
retake lost ground in Quang
Due province have
diminished too.

Billy Graham says nation
in deep spiritual trouble
By HELEN THOMAS
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Evangelist Billy Graham
preached at the White House
worship service Sunday, saying
America is in “deep spiritual
trouble" and every citizen must
“repent or perish.”
Listing a series of dramatic
events in 1973 including the
“fury of Watergate,” Graham
told a congregation including
the President, Vice President
Gerald R. Ford, their wives
and members of Congress:
“I believe America stands on
the threshold of divine judge
ment today. Morally, socially,
economically, politically and
spiritually we are in deep
spiritual trouble. We must
reorder our priorities. We all
admit that we need some
sweeping social reforms—and
in true repentance we must
determine to do something
about it. But our greatest need
is a change in heart.”
Graham, one of the Presi
dent’s closest friends, interrupt
ed a crusade in Europe to
speak at the special White
House pre-Christmas service at
Nixon’s request. It was his first
appearance at a White House
worship service since last
Sentimental thief
MONTEREY, Calif. (UPI) —
The Christmas spirit got the
best of a robber this weekend.
The man, who said he was
plagued with guilt because
Christmas was approaching,
dropped SIO,OOO in stolen
jewelry into a street corner
mail box and called a local TV
station.
Police and postal officials
opened the box and found the
jewels which they said had
been taken recently in the
robbery of a home here.
— Griffin Daily News Monday, December 17,1973
January after Nixon’s second
inauguration and before the
Watergate scandal reached
crisis proportions.
Graham called on “everybo
dy” to repent. “The heart of
the message is repent or
perish,” he added. “It is as
simple as that.”
Graham said that 1973 has
been “a very convulsive year”
in American history. “Millions
of Americans are confused,
discouraged, cynical, frightened
and disillusioned,’ ’ he said.
In addition to Watergate, he
mentioned the death of former
Presidents Harry S. Truman
and Lyndon B. Johnson,
Nixon’s second inauguration,
the end of American involve
ment in Vietnam and the

“Almost everyone I talk to
seems to sense that a hurricane
is about to break on the world
of cataclysmic proportions,” he
said, adding that the real
message of Christmas is the
promise of a second coming of
the Messiah.
The Army chorus sang at the
service as a stand-in for the 14-
member Yale Choir, which
bowed out after some of the
students refused to give assur
ances they would not do
anything to embarrass the
President.
