All told, the capital district has 206,000 new refugees living in 114 temporary quarters and camps. It will probably take eight months to find adequate new housing for them all. For once, the Saigonese have given the government good marks-for its prompt aid to the refugees. There has also been a noticeable decrease in neutralism among the populace, which seems to be swinging more toward antiCommunism. The South Vietnamese army is getting an unprecedented average...
