paigon’s mayor wages war against sin
SAIGON (JP) — With the way
|he war against sin is going, the
barroom mama-sans are down in
Jthe mouth.
L Montk B T n anticipation of a great peace
time tourist influx, any year now,
Ihe city fathers have decided to
^idy up Saigon’s morals. Mayor
)o Kien Nhieu, a no-nonsense,
jjaw-and-order type, has ordered
[the girlie bars and Saigon-tea
parlors to move out of the old
downtown sin district by June 30
|to a swampy island in the Saigon
River known as the ninth pre-
tinct.
The new area is just a hand
grenade toss across the muddy
^•iver from Saigon’s bustling sky
line of hotels and apartment
buildings. It has plenty of room
for Vietnamese growth industries
like massage parlors and steam
baths.
But the mama-sans aren’t buy
ing. One hitch is that there is
no bridge to the island. The only
way to get there is by leaky
sampan or an indifferent ferry.
Both run the risk of being swamp
ed by freighters and navy gun
boats churning up the crowded
harbor.
Besides, there are very few cus
tomers, especially of the round
eyed variety so dear to the purses
of the mama-sans.
“Who am I going to serve over
My vote for Governor
will go to BRISCOE,
a man Texans can trust!

r
there ? Viet Cong and Vietnamese
isailors?” asked one mama-san
who has presided over an estab
lishment of choice flower petals
since the days when Graham
Greene was a boulevardier here.
“Even now the Vietnamese sol
diers who come in here won’t
pay. I have to pay them to go
away and not make trouble.”
Te mama-san, already hard hit
by the American troop withdraw
al just when she had redone her
bar in life-sized nudes painted
on black velvet, had a point about
the Viet Cong. The desolate
island, veined with canals and
rivulets, has been the launch site
for many of the big rockets fall
ing on Saigon over the years.
In chasing the girlie bars across
the river and into the bamboo
trees, city fathers hoped to beg
gars, street walkers, pickpockets,
watch snatchers and allied
artistes-de-flimflam would natur
ally follow along. Leaving the

That Trade With
Lou—
rocketeers and the racketeers to
each other’s tender mercies seem
ed like a good idea at the time,
but now the mama-sans are balk
ing at moving to the designated
sin island.
Some have relocated along
Plantation Road, out by Tan Son
Nhut airport, which falls just
inside neighboring Gia Dinh Prov
ince, but the few U.S. airmen
left like to get as far from the
base as possible in their off-duty
hours. Sales of Saigon tea, a
watery concoction that the B-
girls toss off at $2.50 a slurp in
exchange for dreamy moments of
hand-holding conversation, have
not been brisk. A few have pad
locked the old premises and pack
ed the girls off, in platoon
strength of 65 or more, to the
seaside resort of Vung Tau,
where competition already is keen
and overcrowded.
Other mama-sans have tried to
diversify into beauty parlors,
travel agencies, boutiques and
souvenir shops. But with names
like Honeymoon Spots, Crazi-
Place, Whoopey and Play Girl,
it’s hard to build a new following
without calling in the sign
painters.
“Maybe I will open a pharma
cy,” sighed one bar operator do
ing business under the sign Pig
Alley.
The city cleanup is a phased
operation, street by street. Some
of the most famous havens of
“foreign flower seekers,” as ad
venturous gallants are called
hereabouts, already have van
ished.
Le Club, immortalized in Gra
ham Greene’s “The Quiet Ameri
can” and frequented by over three
decades of French and American
fighting men, under a variety of
names and owners, quietly be
came a novelty shop last month.
It sells ceramic elephants, water
buffalo teeth masquerading as
good-luck tiger fangs and jungle
jackets embroidered with “Fight
er by day, lover by night, drunk
ard by choice” and similar saying
favored by rear-echelon support
troops.
Since the American withdrawal
has decimated business along
Saigon’s Sin Strip leading down
to the river, the bar girls sit in
sad rows on wooden benches out
side their establishments, calling
out over the blaring rock music.

Fred C. Campbell Jr. of San
Antonio will head A&M’s Singing
Cadets in 1972-73.
New officers were introduced
Saturday at the all-male glee
club’s annual awards banquet.
Other presentations included a
plaque ot Mrs. James K. Henni-
gan as an Honorary Singing
Cadet and announcement of a
$100 award to next year’s out
standing member.
Director Robert L. Boone said
the top Cadet award to begin in
1972-73 becomes possible through
a donation by Mr. and Mrs. James
A. McLeroy, parents of the 1971-
72 vice president.
Mrs. Hennigan was cited as an
honorary member for exemplary
service to the Singing Cadets.
The wife of a TAMU industrial
enginering professor assisted the
group in brochures design, among
other work.
She joins Honorary Singing
Cadets including Cong. Olin E.
Teague, Mrs. John Connally, the

Margaret Rudder and Sergio
Franchi.

ton, and newsletter editor, T. C.

Awards based on semester par
ticipation were presented to the
54 Singing Cadets by Boone, out
going president William H. Peavy
of Dallas, and McLeroy, of Hous
ton. Doctoral graduate students
Tim J. Webb of Houston and
Jimmy D. Cain of Brownsville
each have 16 semesters with the
group. Boone, pianist-accompa
nist Mrs. June Biering, and secre
