Text transcribed from caption: C-46163 PRIEST ACCUSES THIEU OF CORRUPTION SAIGON -- Father Tran Huu Thanh, a 59-year-old Roman Catholic priest who has spent many years teaching anti-Communist psychological warfare to South Vietnamese military officers, has published a six-count "indictment" against President Nguyen Van Thieu. In his "indictment," the priest, who once worked for the late President Ngo Dinh Diem, accuses Mr. Thieu of illegally amassing houses and land, being implicated in a fertilizer scandal, masterminding heroin traffic (a charge based entirely on an American book), and allowing his relatives to profit illegally from government-subsidized rice distribution in impoverished central Vietnam. Father Thanh also alleges that Thieu's wife takes a take-off from a supposedly charitable hospital she founded. In a televised talk, Mr. Thieu issued a sweeping denial of the allegations of corruption and offered to resign “if the entire people and Army no longer have confidence in me.” While terming the charges "either exaggerated or simply groundless," Mr. Thieu did, however, imply that there was some corruption in the country. He promised that "within three months" the level of corruption in the Army and the government would be reduced. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PP-SAI-10D-74-DS)
