SAIGON. South Viet Nam (UPI) The United States today began withdrawing its first troops from boulh Viet nam since the Americans sianeo their anti - Communist buildup here in 1962. Three U.S. Air Force jets took off for Honolulu this after noon with the first 220 American servicemen en route home. Within the next nine days simi lar flights will carry 1,000 men from South Viet Nam. A fourth Militarv Air Trans port Service (MATS) C135 four- engine jet transport was scnea uled to leave here with another group of 74 men but it was de layed at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa because -of -mainten ance trouble. A U.S. military spokesman said it will leave here Wednesday. Earlier, before the first three contingents took off, the entire group was addressed Dy uen. Paul D. Harkins, chief of the U.S. military command In Viet Nam, and by Maj. Gen. Tran Van Don, Vietnamese defense minister. Harkins thanked the men for a job well done, and Don gave them his "personal thanks" and the thanks of the Vietnamese armed forces for their efforts. Also on hand to see the de parting GI's were a few sad eyed Vietnamese girls watching their American Doyinenas leave for home. But there were no fond final embraces. Seasoned U.S. military sources do not take the sched uled 1,000-man reduction in the it s militarv rnmmitment here as a sign that the war against the Communist viet uong guer rillas is going better, or that the U.S. military effort is easing off.

The report is expected to be submitted to Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy this week. By the end of the week it is expected to be forwarded to the White House where it will be turned nvpr in a seven-man blue-ribbon commission named by President Johnson to investigate the as sassination. The commission is headed bv Chief Justice Earl Warren. Sources said the report finds that hnth Harvev and Jack Ruby, the night club owner who in turn shot Oswald before a television audience, were acting as individuals, not as pan oi any conspiracy.
