...most visible index of the conference's shift to the right was its selection of delegates to the worldwide synod of bishops in Rome this autumn, which will discuss problems of the priesthood. The only progressive in the delegation is Detroit's John Cardinal Dearden, a natural choice since he heads the U.S. conference. The others are clearly conservatives: Philadelphia's John Cardinal Krol, St. Louis' John Cardinal Carberry and Co-Adjutor Archbishop Leo C. Byrne of St. Paul and Minneapolis, one of the principal critics of the Armbruster report and a major figure...
...increase of the troops to be withdrawn between May 1 and Dec. 1: from 12,500 to 14,300 each month. The timing will allow him to assess the stability of the Thieu government in the October elections and the capability of the Communists to renew offensives in the autumn-winter dry season.

...provinces say that when General Dzu ordered the move last summer, he ignored established regulations requiring the submission of detailed plans both for the movement and for the economic and social welfare of the relocated population. Without prior planning, these sources say, Dzu began the move during the Autumn harvest season, leaving relocated hamlets without their rice supply for the remainder of the year. He stopped the relocation until the end of the harvest only in October after Deputy Director of CORDS for Region II, Edward T. Long, wrote a personal letter to Dzu requesting the postponement...
