The official, An Qui Hung, a financial specialist uith the office of the prime minister of South Vietnam, also believes the United States provide more economic a.ssi.slance tn help his nation's development. Such aid amounted to about million this year against an estimated $1 billion expended hy the United States daily in the military effort, he As long as the war continues, said Himg, South Vietnam can do little to solve its internal problems. High among these, ho said, in crippling inflation.

Himg visited Rock County yesterday along with Van Tich, management analyst from Prime Minister Ky's office. The two men are winding up a 12- Tveek visit to this country to see how our governmental agancies operate. They were interviewed yesterday during a tour of the coiu-t- conducted by County Clerk Walter Lindemann. After lunch they toured the Fisher Body and Chevrolet piant.s because they wanted to see automobiles Hung, 20, and Tich, iri, were asked about the condition of their country and progress of the war. Tich spoke of the liomhing of the north as an international problem which must be worked out in an international conference.

"I know my will not he appreciated in my cnun- try," said Hung of his riisapprov have been flown again.st the north and the rap" without letup. Hung the war is the main enemy of his country's progress. The nation can't make the kind of economic and social progress sought by Americans with the war continuing, he said. As an example, he cited inflation caused by war conditions.

Fifteen years ago the exchange rate for the Vietnam monetary urit. the Dong, (it was once aster, a French word) was for every American dollar. It is now legally set at I.IR per dollar. But the real exchange rate on the black market is 150 to a dollar, he said. Family incomes have been undercut by the inflation, said Hung.

Tich and Hung repeatedly emphasized their desire for peace, Tich said he fought with the Communists in Vietnam against the French, whom he referred to as "colonialists." "I know the Communists well," he said. The only way to deal with the Communists, he suggested. Is to follow the adage: "Who would talk peace mu.st make war." Tich also denied that his countrymen are not shouldering their share of the fight against the Viet Cong and North Vietnam regulars. His own son. he said, is in the Army.

One reason American units so often engage the enemy, he said, is because "Tlie Viet Cong always attack your GIs." Hung believes that the best answer to the war would be a I coalition government including I the Communists. Ultimately, he I suggested. North and vSouth Vietnam may be He believes firmly that the United Stales should provide more economic ui cstablLshing light manufacturing to make the country more aid in establishing light manufacturing. Both men said corruption in their country is overemphasized. They also said most Americans they spoke to, notably the young Americans, told them they want peace in Vietnam.

They they had an impre.s- sion from speaking lo Americans that they don't understand the war and wish it were over. Hung said the first question he heard after stepping off an airplane in San Francisco last July 19 to begin his tour was: Why are we in Vietnam?" The pair were brought to Rock County under auspices of the Institute of Governmental Service, part of the University of Wis- con.sin Extension Service. They were accompanied to hy Gary Sax. of the institute. Tliev left Wisconsin last night for Akron, Ohio.

Bids, opened Wednesday afternoon, totaled $10,319,898 which is more than $1.2 million over the anticipated cost of $9.1 million.

J. P. Cullen and Son, Janesville, submitted the low bid for general construction, $5,144,777. There were five bidders for the general construction contract. Westphal and Janesville, was low for electrical work with $1,090,000.

Other low base bidders were Healy Plumbing and Heating, St. Paul, $1,073,000 for plumbing, $2,453,000 for heating, ventilating and air conditiociing; Westinghouse Electrical Madison, $399,900 for elevator contract; Powers Regulator Milwaukee, $159,221 for pneumatic tubes. Colwcll said there Is mort money available than the original estimate of $9.1 million. The cun-crit figure is closer to $10.6 million, he said, but out of this must come the funds for site purchase and development, which are already in progress, architectural fees and equipment. The administrator said that the many alternates', 25 in the construction category, permit flexibility.

Some could be dropped to save money. Alternates are built into the bidding and can be employed without read- vertising or reapplying to thi federal government for a new grant, he explained. Part of the construction cost comes from federal aid under the Hill-Harris Act. The grant will remain intact as long as work on the hospital continues.
