group of 74 men but it was de

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

their American Doyinenas leave
for home. But there were no
fond final embraces.
