(AP) A black Maryland legislator says that two months of posing as a poor person have convinced him that many Negroes in clerical and white collar jobs are rude and callous toward blacks they feel are beneath them. Troy Brailey, a second-term delegate from Baltimore, said that he donned an old lumber jacket, open collar shirt and unpressed pants to investigate complaints from blacks that they were getting discourteous treatment from Negroes in stores and governmental agencies. The delegate told the city Human Relations Commission Wednesday that many of the complaints were true and that blacks in middle echelon jobs showed a "lack of human respect" to him. Brailey said that he was "totally ignored" when he approached some black workers for information and was even "snapped at" on occasion. Some blacks at the city Welfare Department "told me they didn't have time to answer questions," said Brailey, a national organizer for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a national vice president of the Afro-American Labor Council.

"You're just given the runaround'hesaidofan incognito visit to the state unemployment insurance office. He said that a black clerk at the Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles made him wait while she chatted with a coworker and then "wouldn't even look at me while she talked. "In some respects," the delegate complained, "the treatment was similar to what I have received in the past from whites. I believe if I had been dressed up, the treatment would have been better. "In the Jim Crow days, people would call you names," Brailey continued.

"The blacks ignored me. They thought I was poor, which I am." "All blacks were once poor. I feel when you've moved up, you should try to help your brothers and encourage others," said Brailey, who has been active for three decades in the movement for racial equality in Baltimore.

Informants said each fire base was assigned a battalion of about 500 men to provide security and conduct small sweeps in the immediate area.

The six American fire bases were reported to be located on the approaches to the southern end of the A Shau Valley, although informants had no knowledge of American troops entering the valley itself. Secretory Of Yeor ready despite heavy casualties suffered in the recent invasion of Laos. The American role in Lam Son 720 remains a mystery. Giai told newsmen it is a "combined operation" and the Americans are "conducting separate actions which they will have to tell you about." But the Americans weren't telling. Brig.

Gen. O.E. Smith, assistant commander of the 101st Airborne Division, in charge of the American task force, told newsmen: "We're just supporting the South Vietnamese. I have nothing to say." Smith's headquarters, which is right next to Giai's, was guarded by military policemen who said they had been ordered to keep newsmen away. One put his hand over a television camera lens when the cameraman tried to film the command post.

Another MP confided: "The general freaks out everytime he sees a correspondent." Helicopter piloti of the 101st Airborne said they have been ordered not to talk to newsmen or give them rides to fire bases in the operational area. Division information officers at Phu Bai confirmed that the fire bases were off limits and "we'll let you know when something happens." A Columbia Broadcasting System crew that managed to angle a ride to a fire base were "detained" in the operations shack and ordered not to film anything. The officer in charge explained fire base commanders had been threatened with court-martial if they allowed newsmen on their bases. South Vietnamese officers and U.S. advisers at La Vang revealed that eight fire bases have been opened specifically for Operation Lam Son 720 since it began April 14.

Thev said six of these were LA VANG, Vietnam (AP) For nine days U.S. and South Vietnamese forces have been building fire bases, flying combat assaults and blowing up real estate with air and artillery strikes in the jungled mountains of two northern provinces adjoining Laos. Secrecy about the American role in Operation Lam Son 720 has caused some to dub it a "phantom operation." But the operation is real enough. The phantoms are the enemy. Battalion-sized reconnaissance sweeps have found no trace of 10,000 to 30,000 North Vietnamese troops who traditionally move into the uninhabited mountains of western Quang Tri and Thua Thien provinces during the dry season.

About 10,000 infantrymen of the South Vietnamese 1st Division, 2,000 South Vietnamese marines and 2,000 U.S. troops of the 101st Airborne Division, have been committed to the operation. But informants at this forward headquarters revealed Thursday fewer than 5,000 men are actively participating at this stage. Brig. Gen.

Vu Van Giai, commander of-the South Vietnamese task force, said the operation is designed to prevent an enemy buildup in the northern region during the dry season. He said Lam Son 720 has "unlimited" U.S. helicopter support and will last "until October, either with the same name or several names for different phases." But other officers in his command said the operation would end in a month. They privately conceded they didn't expect any significant results and pointed out that even Lt. Gen.

Hoang Xuan Lam, commander of the 1st military region, "expects nothing big." "It is just for show," said one South Vietnamese officer, Kplaining that Saigon wanted to prove the 1st Division is still battle Mrs. Aria B.
