Rumors of enemy infiltration abound as edgy troops make house-to-house searches. Reports presented as official one day are denied or contradicted the next. In the central highlands of South Vietnam the pre-Tet jitters are no less real. Senior U.S. officials predict there will be a North Vietnamese offensive, and it will come there.

But they "welcome" an enemy push in the highlands' triborder region because the necessary expenditure of men and supplies would render Hanoi incapable of mounting a similar drive in the area for most of a year. This would give the Saigon government that much more time to build security and economic stability in the countryside. The enemy buildup has been so widely advertised by the Pentagon and U.S.

officials in Saigon as to make some veteran observers wonder whether it might be a phantom threat intended to make the South Vietnamese look good. Meanwhile, some U.S. field advisers, who say the threat is real, have complained that gov- emment torces aren getting ready. Patrols have balked at going into the field to look for enemy infiltration across the frontier, advisers say. There have been incidents of lax security at forward bases, and during the Christmas holiday there were outbreaks of racial violence in Kontum City between South Vietnamese and Montagnard tribal troops.

(AP) Power was restored to most Paducah homes Sunday, for the first time since Thursday's severe ice knocked out electricity and heat in the community. Leroy Borgerding, general manager of the Paducah Power System, said Sunday that Padu- can ls 0f pretty well taken care but that parts of McCracken County are still without power. Residents whose homes were without heat Saturday night were able to use the McCracken County Courthouse and the National Guard Ar mory at Paducah.

Borgerding estimated that at one point in the ice storm as many as 30 to 40 per cent of Paducah homes were without power.

There isn't any question as to what the enemy's intentions are. But he said there is a "considerable question" of how fully the North Vietnamese could carry out their plans, because of ever-increasing difficulties in executing orders assigned to them. U.S.

intelligence currently rates Communist Command troops capable of achieving about 10 per cent of their assigned missions, due to internal weaknesses and allied success in spoiling operations. According to Vann, whose opinions have formed the basis for views expressed by other senior U.S. officials here and in Washington, the enemy objective in the highlands will be Kontum City, a shabby provincial capital of 30,000 within easy striking distance of the jungled border. Vann told the interviewer the North Vietnamese realize they could not hold Kontum, but perhaps could fight into the city, setting fires and causing other havoc to provide "a rather graphic display of battle on the TV screens and in newspaper iMBflll I 683-1368 BOX OFFICE OPENS 7:00 P.M.

Agreement seems almost universal that Hanoi's purpose is not military, but political: The embarrassment of Nixon and a demonstration, especially to the Chinese, that its armed forces remain a power to be reckoned with.

To achieve this, North Vietnam may be prepared to accept 10,000 killed, says John Paul Vann, the senior U.S. adviser in the 2nd military region. proach," he says, "we can save hours of descriptive time, hours of laborious' reading and of deciphering notes written by physicians, nurses and all sorts of health professionals." With the present doctor shortage, each doctor is pressed for time and tends to limit, either consciously or unconsciously, what data he puts into the record, Dr. Bird says. "With visuals, the clinician can collect more information about a patient than can be written down in a reasonable period of time," he says.

Dr. Bird says that copies of X-rays and even pictures from a family snapshot album could be included in the record. X-rays are frequently kept in another part of a hospital and an old picture might reveal how a person with a hip ailment used to stand or sit at an earlier age, and this could help doctors diagnose his problems now. Dr. Bird says he knows of no instance when a patient refused to have photos taken.

"We recognize the human right to privacy and now ask the patient to sign a form permitting us to take the pictures," Dr. Bird says. He adds that the pictures are treated as confidentially as any part of the medical record.

Under the direction of Dr. Kenneth T. Bird at the hospital's Logan Airport Medical Station, the staff is snapping pictures of everything from infected toes to severely cut heads and placing these photos into the records. "The records system of America today is largely word oriented, and, unfortunately it's in the worst mode handwriting." Dr. Bird says.

"Vision is not properly utilized in records. "Doctors up to now tend to communicate with so many people in handwriting that it gets sloppy in a hurry," Dr. Bird says. "The handwriting of the physician is notoriously poor." The visual experiment is starting small, using inexpensive cameras and highspeed color film which does not need a flash. A clinician can find in the records a color photo of a swollen arm which makes its present size and color more meaningful in judging the treatment.

Dr. Bird sees photography as only the first step in the medical record of the future, which could eventually include sound recording, sketches and special typewriters. "I'm certain the medical record of the future will be a type of video recording," Dr. Bird says. For example, he says, a patient who has a heart attack and respiratory complications would be recorded as soon as he entered the hospital.

Then, even years later, a doctor treating the patient will be able to see the symptoms of the attack as they happened and not have to read "breathing heavy, facial discoloration" on an obscure medical form.
