Viet Cong Release News Girl By PETER ARNETT APSiafflfriter SAIGON, South Vietnam (AP) --Tall, attractive French newswoman Michele Ray emerged from 21 days of Viet Cong captivity today dressed in black pajamas the guerrilla uniform and "feeling great." The former Paris fashion model looked thinner than when she disappeared Jan. 17. She smiled and embraced journalist friends when she stepped off a helicopter at Hammond Airstrip, a forward base of the U.S. 1st Cavalry, Airmobile, division near Phu Cat on the central coast. Miss Ray, 28, declined to talk about her experience saying only, "I'm feeling great." There were indications when she vanished that she had planned it thafway.

She had been driving north with two Vietnamese students in what she said was an attempt to travel the 600-mile length of South Vietnam. Her small white French car was found in a ditch about six miles north of Bong Son in the central coastal lowlands 280 miles northeast of Saigon. Her parents Mr. and Mrs. Jean Ray of Nice, she had written them early last month: "I do not want to make a documentary (movie) on the war as such but rather to show the suffering endured by those fighting.

I have lived with the American soldiers and I have only one last sequence to film. I will have to pass to the Viet Cong side to film it." Miss Ray said in the letter the Viet Cong had once seized her but let her go after they found she was a French journalist. GIs Meet Race Bar In Africa CAPE TOWN Soutn Africa CAP) The U. 5. aircraft car.

rier Franklin D. Roosevelt was readied for an early departure from Cape Town today as its crew grumbled at being denied shore leave because of South Africa's racial restrictions. A U. S. Embassy spokesman said the carrier would sail at 6 p.m.

today instead of Tuesday morning on its voyage home to Florida from Vietnam. The spokesman said the ship, was leaving early because it had finished taking on provisions and fuel. But it was believed an early departure was ordered because of growing unrest aboard the ship. American authorities may also have been influenced by reports that about 100 crewmen in civilian clothes had sneaked ashore Sunday- among the crowds of South Africans who visited the ship. Apparently they feared an embarrassing incident if other crewmen got into Cape Town and broke some of South Africa's strict apartheid (race segregation) laws.

Shore leave for the 4,000 men on the carrier, who include 400 Negroes, was canceled as the vessel approached Duncan Dock Saturday. American officials here said the reason was difficulty in arranging the leaves, an explanation Prime Minister Balhazar J. Vorster said did "not accord with the facts and therefore was quite unacceptable." Defense Department officials in Washington said liberly for the crew had been planned all along only on the basis that the men would be free of racial restrictions.

Should American pilots subject themselves to concentrations of antiaircraft fire because of restricted routes? Why are North Vietnamese MIG airfields off limits to US. attackers? What is the- cost in lives and effectiveness? These are questions in a continuing debate in the United States as the bombing of North Vietnam moves into its third year.

This is an AP survey of the conditions that surround the bombings, and the dispute they have engendered. SAIGON, South Vietnam (AP) The American bombing offensive against North Vietnam, is two years old Tuesday. To date, it has cost the United States more than 400 pilots dead, captured or missing and 471 aircraft worth roughly $1 billion by Pentagon estimates. In the wake of publicity and protests about the bombing, a great debate is raging. Is the bombing worth it? Or is the offensive, as some insist, largely a failure in achieving U.S.

objectives? Frequently North Vietnam hints that the bombing is the greatest single obstacle to negotiations on the Vietnam war. But Hanoi has failed to say what it would do to scale down the war if the offensive is halted. There are confusion and apparent contradiction in official statements about the effectiveness of the raids on the North. Some say stop the bombing altogether. Others say restrictions on U.S.

pilots create frustrations for them and sanctuaries for the enemy in the North. Some say the restrictions render ineffective the effort to impede infiltration of troops and supplies to the Viet Cong in the South. By JOHN CUNWFF AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) There is help on the way for those who are no better at understanding the federal budget than they are at figuring their own household expenses. President Johnson in his budget message to Congress specifically called for a bipartisan group of informed individuals to clarify the different ways of interpreting the budget and communicating it to the public. This is an overdue recommendation.

It may permit persons of average intelligence to exercise their rights of criticism. As it is, most people cannot now exercise this right. The budget also is beginning a more important document. No longer is it a simple balance sheet, a list of receipts and expenditures. Increasingly it is becoming an instrument of social change and economic control.

Fifty years ago, for instance, the president did not send a unified budget to Congress. He simply requested from the different congressional committees the money he felt would be needed for the coming year. The budget, as a unified document, dates only from 1921. Congress in that year directed the president to put down On paper the spending projects he contemplated and the funds he felt he would need for them. In this same year, Congress also authorized the Budget Bureau as part of the president's office.

The General Accounting Office also was established to audit and control the taxes and expenditures set forth in the budget. This was called the administrative budget. It is the one most people are familiar with. In current proposals it calls for receipts billion and expenditures -of $135 billion. The next big change resulted from social legislation in the 1930s.

The administrative budget failed to make provisions for the tremendous taxing and spending of the trust funds such as Social Security. The so-called cash-consolidated budget then was set up. fl includes the highway trust funds and the survivors insurance funds, for example. In the present proposals these funds amount to between $44.5 billion and $48.1 billion. The cash budget, then, gives a more accurate picture of the money flowing in and from the Treasury, because it includes the funds earmarked for specific projects which the government increasingly engages in.

The cash budget proposed by President Johnson calls for expenditures of $172.4 billion and receipts of $168.1 billion. The big complaint.against the cash budget is that it does not reflect immediately the changes in economic activity. Receipts and expenditures are not entered in the books immediately. There is a time lag. The national income accounts budget counts these tax funds immediately--not as they are paid but as they are incurred, ft is the budget President Johnson prefers.

And it is the budget that perhaps best measures fiscal moves. The national income accounts is designed to show the immediate effect on your income and on industrial of spending and taxing by the federal government. Cong Document Says Losing SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) A document captured by American soldiers in the Iron Triangle Operation Cedar Falls says the Viet Cong have lost control of one million people in rural parts of South Vietnam "due to the presence of U.S. troops." U.S. Aircraft Losses Up WASHINGTON (AP)--Sources indicate U.

S. aircraft losses in Southeast Asia are double what the Pentagon has announced, because officials have deleted losses of nonattack planes. These sources said Sunday night the Defense Department has announced only the losses of attack aircraft enemy fire or missiles while operating over North or South Vietnam. Deleted from the list, the informants said, have been cargo, observation or other type aircraft that have been downed, irreparably damaged or destroyed by the Communists while the craft were on an airstrip. The sources said the United States in the last five years has lost more than twice the 255 helicopters previously announced by the Pentagon.

At the same time they said, about 1,200 fixed wing planes have been destroyed, compared with the Pentagon figure of 621. The Defense Department has the fixed wing losses include 471 over North Vietnam and 150 over South Vietnam. It lists all but four of the helicopter losses in the South. The Pentagon says aircraft worth about $1 billion were lost in the North in the two years since the United States began bombing there. During the same time, it more than 400 pilots have been lost McKinley Climber Plunges to Death TALKEETNA, Alaska (AP)Jacques 'Batkin, 36, Anchorage was lolled when he fell in a crevasse on Mt.

McKinley. He was one of eight men making the first winter asc'ent of the 20 320-foot peak. carrying a pack weighing about 60 to 70 pounds from the: base camp at about 7 500 feet to a second camp at about 8,100 feet. Four men had arrived the second camp slightly ahead of him and Dave Johnston, Gladstone, N.J. who was in front of Batkin.

Men at the camp said they saw Batkin suddenly disappear, and the party found a small hole where Batkin dropped through crusted snow into the narrow crack in the glacier on which they were walking. Batkin's jack remained on the snow, jammed in the hole, but the shoulder straps snapped and he dropped about 50 hitting a on the way Dr. George Wichman, Anchorage, another member of the party, said Batkin died of head injuries.

Soviet Wives Terrorized By Chinese MOSCOW (AP) Wives and children from the Soviet Embassy in Peking arrived telling- of being terrorized by Red Guards before their depart a hundreds of Russians marched on Red China's embassy and some invaded the grounds, the Chinese reported.

A group of 97 dependents of Soviet diplomats reported they were held up at the airport for six hours after pushing their way through menacing crowds of Red Guards. Included in the plane load were 60 children. A second group of about 50 women and children left Peking. Tass, 'the Soviet news agency, said they had to make their way to the, airport building through "a raging crowd which furiously shouted and threatened violence." A report from Peking by the Japan Broadcasting Corp. said foreign diplomats escorted the Russians to the airport and linked arms to form a protective corridor so they could board the plane.

Shouting Red Guards pushed the wives of the French and Danish ambassadors and they fell to the ground, the dispatch added. Other diplomats identified in the crowd were from Britain, Czechoslovakia, Hungary East Germany, Bulgaria and Mongolia, Tass reported. Egans Settling In Anchorage JUNEAU (Special) Although former Gov. William A. Egan has no business plans to announce yet, he and Mrs.

Egan will definitely settle in Anchorage: The Egans arrived in Juneau over the weekend via state ferry and are planning to spend the week here. "Then we'll be house hunting in Anchorage," Mrs. Egan said. The couple appeared rested after a month's vacation in the South. "We had snow in Mexico City and rain inAcapulco," Mrs.

Egan said in explaining a lack of suntans. President Johnson says the United States is "conducting the most careful and self-limited air- war in history." Sen. Stuart Symington, leading Senate protests against restrictions, says: "One thing is sure. We must either fight or get out." 'Here are some major complaints of U.S. pilots and other military men: U.S.

bombers use approved and known runs to established targets, and the North Vietnamese, aware of this, can concentrate heavy antiaircraft fire. U.S. airmen now are forbidden to bomb key targets in the North: industrial complexes, oil depots and the vital irrigation system, either because of a possibility of hitting civilians or because of prospective political complications. U.S. pilots must bypass barges loaded with trucks and ammunition, must pass up enemy airfields crowded with Communist jet warplanes.

One flier said he had to fly past barges unloading trucks and supplies "which later I attack, with questionable success, in the jungles of the Ho Chi Minh Trails." After a tour of Vietnam recently, Gen. Earle G. Wheeler chairman of the Joint Chiefs Staff, reported a trend in the Communist North to disperse antiaircraft batteries and key supply depots among heavily populated areas because the Communists know "our policy is- not to attack populated areas per se." The net result, he said, was in some instances to make installations immune to attack. Washington sources have reported the administration in January barred bomber flights from an area 10 miles in diameter over the center of Hanoi, whch can be penetrated only if an American pilot is engaged in air combat with enemy fighters. But one source said this hardly mattered because "we're so restricted anyway." The Pentagon has not confirmed or denied these reports nor one that the Air Force and Navy must have permission for each bombing raid within 30 miles of Hanoi.

They can attack surface-to-air missile sites without explicit Defense Department approval, though the 10-mile diameter rule likely would hold in this case, too. U.S. policy makers prefer not to bomb airfields in the North on grounds that it might force the North Vietnamese to use fields in Red China. It is argued that this could lead to "hot pursuit" across the border, thus raising a possibility of direct Chinese involvement in the war. U.S.

officers in Vietnam say this restriction threatens the American bombing offensive itself. Officers say that since U.S. losses to MIG fighters totaled 10 planes in the year and a half since the first MIG encounter, it is conceivable that 10 planes and pilots would have been saved if airfields had been attacked at the outset. However, they express more concern about the bombing offensive itself. The North Vietnamese, the argument goes, have used MIGs not so much to attack U.S.

fighters as to menace bombers and force them to lighten loads by dropping bombs before targets are reached. Hence, they add, the MIG problem has been not so much one of pilot casualties as one of impeding the effectiveness of the bombing runs. Many pilots say they want to bomb the MIG bases, four of which are in the Hanoi-Haiphong area. As for losses, the Defense Department estimates the value of the ptenes at an average of $2 million each. This would be $942 million for 471 planes.

The Pentagon declines to say exactly how many pilots were downed but obviously all but a few of those lost were brought down over North Vietnam. The losses and visitors' reports of civilian casualties in the North have fanned the embers of the debate, but the argument is not new. It dates back almost to the day the offensive began Feb. 7 1965. The story was much the same on the first anniversary a year ago.

In the first year 30 000 tons of bombs were dropped in 15,000 sorties, but troops and supplies continued to pour from norm to south. The "main lesson was that planes would have to Oy more often and drop many more bombs on a greater variety of targets if the raids were to serve their purpose," an AP analysis at that time said. Pilots could destroy, or neutralize "assigned" targets, but major targets were not assigned. Pilots were restricted 19 bridges and vehicles on eight major highways, rail lines, roll-; ing stock, ferries, plants and the like. In the second year of the offensive, the number of sorties increased sharply.

The U.S. command discontinued announcing "sorties" one attack by one plane against the North. But Saigon sources say. 90,000 or more in the second year would be a reasonably good estimate. Since late December, however, restrictions on the U.S.

pilots have been even greater; possibly because of publicity resulting from the visits of Western newsmen and others to Hanoi, and their reports on civilian casualties. No bombs have fallen on the Hanoi suburbs since the Dec. 13-14 attacks on a truck depot and rail yard there. The depot and yard now are off limits. The bombing offensive was launched two years ago as an announced response to a major Viet Cong terror attack on U.S.

installations at Pleiku, staged at a time when Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin was in Hanoi talking to Ho Chi Minn's regime. The bombing was described as a retaliation, and also' as an effort ttrmake the war too expensive for Hanoi Birch Society Official Here Larry Abraham, major coordinator fortheJohnBirchSoci- ety, is in Fairbanks today as part of atwo-weektourofAlaska.

Wright's the Politics the Game Although Jules Wright, R- Fairbanks, has never held public office before, thenamemay sound familiar. He comes from a family of six boys and their joint enterprise, Wright Truck and Tractor, covered a good deal of territory outside their hometown.

The name is also synonymous with dog sled racing where brother Gareth takes the honors for the family and also for the state. Jules was born in Nenana in 1933 and educated in the Nenana school. When he was about 13 his father died leaving his mother and the three youngest sons to carry on the family trucking business. Jules attended Fairbanks High School where he met his wife Marge. On graduation he worked in the Fairbanks area for about two years, mostly in the trucking trade.

Then, although he was married, the U.S. Army called. He was stationed in Fairbanks. After service Wright went into business withhis brothers. Today he has his own firm Tundra Contractors, with two partners outside the family.

The Wrights have three youngsters; Robert, 12; Allen 11; and Julie, 10. Jules'mother now lives in Fairbanks near the family. About three years ago Wright became active in the Fairbanks Native Association and became president of the group. His interest in native problems eventually lead him to run for the Alaska House. "I'm mainly concerned with the multi-education systems and I'd like to see the state takeover all operations now on a federal level," he explains.
