BOB POOS SAIGON, South Viet Nam president (AP) For some American be GIs, Viel Nam duty is "the best Search for Typical GI In Viet Nam Is Futile in the Army." For others, it means long stretches of boredom, sitting in foxholes by the hour waiting for an enemy that never to show, taking long, weary walks through rice paddies and jungle that sometimes erupt in a blast fire from hidden machine guns.

The American GI in Viet Nam is not quite like the GI of Korea and World: War II. His officers, are likely to think that smarter, better trained and tougher than men of the earlier wars. A search for a typical GI is futile because all are individuals, although molded into a military pattern with its discipline and anonymity. Most complain about the food, weather, military life in general and about the enemy. They call him Victor Charley or Charley Brown and respect him as a soldier.

Thus far, all large U.S. units in Viet "Nam except the 1st Army Division has a preponderance of regulars, men who joined for three years. This will change in some outfits like the 1st Cavalry, Airmobile, Division as stateside replacements pour in. But units like the paratroopers and Marines will probably retain a majority of teers. Most of the noncommissioned officers boast that they are "RA (regular Army) all the way and in to stay." Even draftees are likely to admit they would rather be here than "running up and down hills at Ft.

Benning to no purpose," as a 1st Division private remarked. "They're the finest kids and the best troops in the world," said Capt. Henry Thorpe, a native North Carolinian who commanded a company of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry in the Ia Drang Valley. He ought to know. Thirty-one of his men died in that battle.

How does the U.S. soldier live on base and in the field? does he do for entertainment in those rare hours off duty? Let's take a look at a few of them: Spec. 5 Martin Torres of Priests Appeal For Viet Peace Guam is an aircraft mainte-1 nance man of the 545th Aircraft Baltalion stationed at Camp Holloway, an Army air base just outside Pleiku in the central highlands. a He's been in the Army six years and plans. to stay in for 20.

"In a way, it's the best duty I've ever had," he said. "I have to work hard and I don't mind because I'd rather drop dead from exhaustion than let down one of those guys flying our aircraft. "We do our work and bothered by spit and polish inspections." Torres is an enterprising a young man. He bought a motor scooter for $350 and put-putts! around the Pleiku area. In town! there is little to do except break the monotony of Army food with a meal at the only Pleiku Chinese restaurant.

This costs 150 piasters, about $2 at the official rate of exchange. Torres walks around the little Vietnamese city and drinks an occasional bottle of the local export" beer that costs 40 piasters. This is better than the life of most of the troopers of the 1st Cavalry Division at An Khe, 55 miles east of Pleiku. Prior to the CAV's arrival, An Khe had only one bar for its population of perhaps 1,000. Now An Khe is a garish soldier town with 91 bars, many of which serve what the troops call "boom boom parlors." Inflation has come with a vengeance.

Prices in many instances are double those of Saigon. A beer or a soft drink costs 50 rettes pieasters, a package of ciga-ling. 60. Most of the troopers don't get much time in town. When 4 Clarence Wayne of Columbus, got a few hours he said: "I'm just going to sit and rest and drink a couple of beers.

"Last time I was in town bought silk jackets for my four-old boy and daughter." Pvt. Rene Coutrure of Fitchburg, is an infantryman in the 1st Battalion of the 12th Cavalry. His outfit has been almost constantly in the field or on camp perimeters guard since -SAIGON, Viet Nam (AP) RoEleven South Vietnamese man Catholic priests have appealed to authorities in South and North Viet Nam to "lake appropriate measures" to end the war through negotiations. Their appeal was contained in a letter dated Jan. 1 and made public today.

The priests described themselfs as "free from any partisan option of political or religious nature." The letter said the present. situation shows that "North and South Viet Nam, as well as the great powers that have been supporting them, have proved they cannot put an end to the conflict by a military victory." It added that the only way to a cease-fire is to "recognize both the mediation and arbitration of the United Nations."
