HANOI, Indo-C China, July 81
Hanois French evacuation chief
said today in a communique that
many of the city's 6,000-plus
French citizens have failed to
register for evacuation. He
warned that the French govern
ment cannot be responsible for
those who do not do SO.
The warning from Jacques
Complain. French delegate gen.
eral to North Wet Nam, points
up the lassitude still gripping
Hanoi only rs days before the
Communicated Wet Mimi take
over the city. Wet Narnese civil
ians are responding even more
slowly. Only q few hundred a day
are registering at Wet NameSe
officesout of the 100000 which
Wet Namese officials say will be
the very. least to leave.
Either this city is building UP
to a last days mad scramble to
get out ahead of Wet Mimi occu-
patton or only a relatively small
fraction Of Its half-million viii
leave. Evacuation authorities had
hoped to be moving upwards OF
5000 a day out through Hal
phong seaport by the second
week in August.
Neither French nor Wet
Namese officials revealed how
many persons have asked for
evacuation. There were unof-
fetal and unconfirmed reports
that at least 1000 French citi-
zens had not responded to indi-
vidual letters asking them to
register by today.
Estimates of the number of
Wet Namese who had registered
ran less than 5000.
In contrast. the military pull
out was moving ahead on sched-
ule. A French army source said
all outlying French-Viet Namese
