"and the prisoners were coaxed back into their cells through the art of persuasion. It didn't require any show of force, though there were armed backup personnel."

He also reportedly pushed through a request for permission to destroy crops, although the report says that "such missions never became a major part of the herbicide program." The report says that in 1961, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara "continued to hold open the option of disguising the defoliation program" in South Vietnam "as a South Vietnamese operation." McNamara, asked to comment, said he did not remember favoring such an option. He also was unable to recall the details of defoliation, or who ordered or approved it. According to the report, U. Alexis John-, son, then deputy under secretary of state for political affairs, proposed that "U.S.

air- craft be used to conduct a 'major defoliant spray program in South although the aircraft would carry South Vietnamese markings and the pilots would wear civilian clothes." Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk, asked in an interview if the State Department had known of discussions of disguising American aircraft, said he could not recall anything like that, but "I don't have records and I can't get into that" The American ambassador to Vietnam, Frederick E. Nolting supported the covert spraying program in South Vietnam, according to the report, and expressed his desire to label defoliant chemicals as "civilian cargo" in order to exempt them from the inspection provisions of the Geneva accords of 1954. Ultimately, a decision was made to conduct the South Vietnamese operation openly. A reason, according to the report, is that Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell L. Gilpatric did not feel that South Vietnamese markings and the covert use of American air crews "would effectively disguise the U.S.

role in the operation." Air Force Secretary Eugene M. Zuckert is reported to have had a "concern about Among the reports are the following: In the South Vietnam spraying program, the United States government gave serious consideration to the possibility of asking Air Force pilots to wear civilian clothes, fly in mismarked planes and agree to their government's disavowing any knowledge of them if they were captured. The defoliation in South Vietnam was started at the request of President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam. f. U.S.

officials took pains to mislead the press about the covert spraying in Laos. The report says the spraying in Laos was begun in December 1965 at the urging of Gen. William C. Westmoreland, commander of American military forces in Vietnam, who wanted jungles in southern Laos defoliated to deny hiding places to enemy troops. He also wanted crops destroyed to deny food to the enemy, according to the report.

Westmoreland, asked to comment on the report, said he could not remember ordering spraying in Laos. The spraying in Laos started over the "strong objections" of William H. Sullivan, then the U.S. ambassador in Vientiane, Laos, according to the history. Sullivan "informed the State Department that he was opposed to using herbicides in Laos because of current sensitivity among diplomats in Vientiane of nations friendly to the United States over allegations concerning earlier uses of chemical weapons in Laos," the history says.

The report does not elaborate on the meaning of its reference to "earlier uses." Nor is it clear how long the covert spraying continued. Several pages are missing. The Air Force document also characterizes Sullivan as having believed that since "virtually all lucrative targets in southern Laos were dispersed under jungle cover, to use defoliants to uncover them would "open a bottomless pit But Westmoreland is reported to have been convinced, in the report's words, "that there were sufficient targets beneath By RICHARD SEVERO New York Times NEW YORK An unpublished Air Force history reports that the United States secretly sprayed herbicides on Laos during the Vietnam War and openly sprayed them on South Vietnam only after a high-level debate over whether it would be criticized for conducting chemical warfare. The account says that in the early 1960s, military defoliants were secretly brought into South Vietnam by the Americans in violation of the Geneva accords of 1954, which were designed to end hostilities in Indochina and discourage their resumption. The United States participated in the creation of the Geneva accords and although it disassociated itself from the "Final Declaration," it pledged not to disturb the agreement by force.

Later the spraying in South Vietnam was conducted openly. The Air Force account, more than 500 double-spaced typewritten pages, was prepared for the Office of Air Force History. The history was obtained by the National Veterans Task Force on Agent Orange in a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act. Thomas W. Ainsworth, director of a unit of the State Department that decides when material should be declassified, sought to block release of the document, of which 20 pages remain withheld by the government, on the ground that it "would cause identifiable damage to the national security." Litigation continues over the withheld material.

Releasing it, he said, would adversely affect "current and future relationships" with foreign countries. The draft history represents what is believed the first formal government acknowledgment that the United States conducted covert spraying in Laos. The document says the defoliation was done with the agreement of the Laotian government. ries were to be approved by the secretary of defense. The report says that Diem selected the first fixed-wing spray mission, flown by a South Vietnamese air force C-47 on Aug.

24, 1961. The Air Force history reports that Diem had a conversation with several American officials, including Nolting, in which he said that "he heard that there was a powder which could be used to destroy the rice," but he understood that President Kennedy "would first have to authorize its use." There was some confusion about what material could be used for this purpose, but "Diem stated that he did not care what was used as long as the Vietcong could be denied access to the crops in these remote areas." In November 1961, the Air Force account says, the Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a memorandum to McNamara that said they believed "that in conducting defoliant operations against abandoned manioc (tapioca) groves or other food growing areas, care must be taken to assure that the United States does not become the target for charges of employing chemical or biological warfare." Gilpatric made a presentation for the Defense Department to President Kennedy, in which he reportedly "calculated that a crop destruction program could have a net favorable effect and the public relations difficulties could be mitigated if the problem of resettling and feeding the Mon-tagnards could be solved." He has said he does not recall the presentation. President Kennedy approved the defoliation plan on Nov. 30, 1961, in a National Security Action Memorandum, which said it could proceed "if the most careful basis of resettlement and alternative food supply DeLOACH Funeral services for Mr. John Ward De-Loach, age 54, of 8401 S.

News and World Report, in its latest issue, said these are some of the blunders plaguing the $160 billion Social Security System. "Blunders in delivering its services to 155 million Americans are as big a problem for the Social Security system as its long-term financing," the magazine said. U.S. News said most of the foul-ups are blamed on a computer system that has not kept up with advances and changes. Jury May Ponder Donovan Evidence NEW YORK (UPI) A federal grand jury was expected to hear evidence this week into charges that Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan lied when he denied knowledge of bribery payments on a subway project, it was reported Sunday.

The New York Daily News also reported threats have been made on the life of Donovan's chief accuser, Mario Montuoro, a former union official who has appeared before special federal prosecutor Leon Silverman. In Washington, the Justice Department Sunday had no immediate comment on the report. U.S. marshals are reportedly considering around-the-clock protection for Montuoro, who has charged that Donovan was present at a Queens restaurant when an official of the Schia-vone Construction Co. of Secaucus, N.J., gave a $2,000 cash bribe to Louis Sanzo, then president of the local.

Montuoro gave Silverman the names of other union members who supported allegations that Sanzo and other union officials received gifts from the construction company, the Daily News report said. Donovan, 51, was executive vice president of the firm atthe time. He has called Montuoro a "damnable and contemptible liar." His attorney, Dean Burch, said Saturday: "If a grand jury is being empaneled, then we say, The sooner the better to get this matter behind rj 'Mere mention of Bringle; and several nieces and nephews.

Some beneficiaries have received checks on which their ZIP codes were substituted for the dollar amounts. In thousands of cases, recipients who move get identical checks at both their old and new addresses.

At the same time, others who move get no checks at all. In more than 8,000 cases, checks have been sent to people who have been dead at least two years. Improper payments also are being made to relatives of dead beneficiaries. Estimated total cost to the system: $60 million. The magazine said computer problems have produced mammoth backlogs and almost caused the system to miss the deadline for issuing checks last June.

To update the cost-of-living factor, employees had worked for four months using 20,000 man-hours and 2,500 hours of computer time to make the changes. But they came within 18 hours of missing the deadline. The same job, officials told the magazine, could have been done in a few days with a modern computer system. U.S. News quoted Social Security Commissioner John Svahn as saying the system is falling farther and farther behind.

Processing is now 15,000 hours in arrears and losing another 2,000 hours a month. "We're in a survival mode here," Svahn said. "Everybody hopes that 36 million benefit checks get out on time.
