PIECE OF REAL ESTATE FOR SALE IN VIETNAM

A setback suffered by two members of the U.S. "pacification" crew in Vietnam which has apparently escaped the American press was reported in the March 4 issue of the German magazine Der Spiegel.

It appears that in the days before the February victory of the Vietnamese freedom fighters, when the U.S. command had come to believe its own propaganda about things getting better and better for the U.S. military machine in Vietnam, two American majors bought up a chunk of land in the mountains near the coastal city of Qui Nhon. A heavily wooded area

known for its fauna, it was an ideal lo-

cation for an exclusive lodge for big

game hunters after the war, the main at-

traction being tigers.

Der Spiegel reports that now the

property has suddenly been put up for

sale. No price is mentioned, but the two

Majors are probably willing to negotiate

on the question.

Anyone interested in real estate

in Vietnam, especially a good site for a

tiger hunting lodge, might try to get in

touch with them through Der Spiegel.
