"AS PART of our program to help with the rehabilitation of the Lai Mi area, we set up medical dispensaries in the area. The people flocked in and one of the marines observed that many of them were suffering from skin ailments. These people have been at war with someone in the area for about 15 years. They don't have such a simple thing as soap. "Our marines began giving out soap they had col- lected, including some bars from their favorite hotels. This has made a great hit. The people are flocking in to get the soap. I?╟╓ve sent an appeal to the hotels in Honolulu to send some small soap bars for distribution ( and they are going to oblige.

When they arrived to lake over positions in the high hills overlooking Da Nang air base, the civilian popula- tion was "scared to death." As recently as a few weeks ago, the marines were in a fight for a bridge in the area and 16 Viet Cong were killed. That broke the back of .the local resistance. Since that time the reorganization of the villages in the Lai Mi complex has proceeded Rapidly. The people have formed a Pomilar. Forcemilitia to oppose any 1CII. i "*J BY EDWIN Q.
