Marine complains about Vietnam
I came with four truckloads of Marines, bumping up on Highway One north of Hue. The drivers screeched to a halt at the outskirts.
Ey Richard V. Oliver
By Richard V. Oliver HUE, Vietnam — (UPI) — A young tank sergeant, one of the Marines resting in the doorways, raised his face smudged with days of battle.
In this ancient city of Annamese kings, the soldier rules today. He is not a happy monarch.
"Drinking and killing—that's all we've been doing here. Drinking during the day and killing at night—and sometimes we kill during the day," he said, chuckling.
Inside a shop a South Vietnamese soldier finds a bottle of Four Roses. He stuffs it into a duffle bag crammed with more loot.
From Hue comes the thunder of mortar and artillery and the "crack - crack - crack - patter" of sniper fire. The bridge is blown up and trucks can go not farther.
LONG BEACH, Calif.—(UPI)
--The honeymoon was over today for 20-year-old Ralph R. Earnest.
Woman arrested on her honeymoon
It ended Tuesday, the day after his marriage, when FEI agents entered his motel here and arrested his pretty blonde wife for armed robbery.
Earnest, a Carlsbad, N.M., youth discharged from the Navy Monday after a two year hatch, couldn't believe it when they told him his new wife, Mary, was one of four persons charged with robbing a Chicago businessman and leaving him for dead.
An FBI spokesman said Mrs. Earnest is accused of taking part in the robbery and shooting of Rudolph H. King, 34, of Chicago, on Jan. 10, at Lee's Summit, Mo. King was found reeling along a highway with a bullet in the abdomen and another in the chest. He eventually recovered.
The FBI said three other alleged participants in the robbery were arrested in a narcotics raid in Wichita, Kan. Jan. 30.
"I'm just shocked, that's all I can say." Earnest told police. "I know she's innocent. I know that. The FBI said Mrs. Earnest arrived in Long Beach late in January and was living there under an assumed name when she met Earnest.
TEACHER INTERVIEWS:
The ABC Unified School District, located in the Los Angeles County area, will have a district representative on campus Thursday (P.M.) February 15, 1968, to interview teacher applicants. Interested persons should sign up in the placement office now!"
The 150 Marines are replacements for the 300 leathernecks killed or wounded since the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong swept into Hue on Jan. 31.
The Marines nail six planks and string ropes across the 30-foot-long bridge stretch crumbled by Communist sappers. One by one, the Marines grip the hand rope and move across.
On the other side, you first see the signs that Hue, this hole, was once beautiful. Moss covered stone steps roll down to the canal's dark green water. Palm trees lined the streets. Threestory colonial homes, built by Frenchmen a generation ago, had cak shade trees.
But debris floats on the canal. One wall of one house stands by the broken bridge. Bricks and artillery shells litter the streets. Downed telephone and electric lines criss-cross the muddy road.
On Duy Tan Street, the Marines sit in the doorways, in the windows and in the shops and wait. They look up. With a roar, a green CM4 helicopter gunship skims the tops of the palm trees and three story houses.
"That is our best support, right there. They draw them out and we kill 'em," says Marine Sgt. Eddie Dailey, 24, of York, Pa.
