In January 1971, Hong received a bachelors degree English.

The next month he received a deportation order from the Department of Immigration and Naturalization. He says he decided, reluctantly, to go home, as did all the others in the program. He says he bought a plane missed his flight due to a last-minute schedule change, and was arrested for havihg an expired visa. After he spent 12 days in jail, Hong and the government began a long series of suits, restraining orders and injunctions that culminated the current U. S.

District Court trial. Claiming he was induced to make the costly move from Vietnam under false pretenses, is seeking $26,420 damages and $240 a month to continue his studies. A verdict is expected this week. The deportation order has been stayed pending outcome of the suit. Meanwhile, Hong, who says he was a good guy and put good in quotation marks be at California State College in 1967.

Upon arrival, he 'says, he learned what he believes to have been the real purpose of the program. Three leaders in the group, and I happened to be one of them, were in a secret where wa were asked for cooperation, he says. There was a Vietnamese' general who was in the United States and who was against the current government of South Vietnam. They asked us, get in touch with him, bring him to us to discuss with him about something. We refused.

Later at another meeting they asked us again and we refused again. He declined to identify the general. I dont know what hes talking about," Hoboloff says of Hongs account. The government attorney also says the Vietnamese government told the State Department February 1968 that participants in the program should return home once they got a bache- lors degree. Participants are brought to US to become educated for the allowed to remain in this country to study for a PhD.

"And the government of Vietnam wants him back. Hong, a veteran of 13 years in the South Vietnamese army, was assistant plant supervisor for Standard Oil at the Saigon airport in 1966 when he saw a notice about a scholarship program in the American military base newspaper.

At a meeting, he says, a man who identified himself as a representative of AID told the applicants, You can stay as long as you want to get your Ph. D. degree, even after your Ph D. you can stay in the United States and do research if you wnat to, Hong says. After he and 99 others were for the program, Hong and his 'wife sold their house and car and brought their four children to San Diego, where the couple enrolled SAN DIEGO (AP)-The emmenCis Jqying to deport Huynh Van Hong, who says he would face certain impnson-lent, torture, and possibly leath in his homeland, South Vietnam.

They will put me in jail for a long time with torture, said Hong, 37, in a recent interview. Of that I am sure. I did more than enough to be put in jail. Just to talk of peace or neutrality, thats enough. About being killed I am not sure.

Maybe a 50-50 chance. Hongs tale is full of allegations of skullduggery and lies by the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID), including claims that officials forged his signature on documents, blackmailed the South Vietnamese government into requesting his return, and tried to get him to deliver a dissident South Vietnamese general into the hands of the government U.S. immigration officials contradict virtually every ting Hong says, but concede it is possible someone calling himself an AID official promised Hong in 1966 that he would be SAN LEANDRO-Barbara Fennell, 21, one of several women arrested last spring in police raids on Hayward massage parlors has been fined $700 and placed on three years court probation.
