(Original Caption) SAIGON, S. VIETNAM: Women and children run from the road as the (USAID) compound burns in the background on the northern edge of the capital. Communist gunners tightened the noose on Saigon 4/28 on three sides and within 5-miles of Saigon blocking Highway 1, in and out of here. VietCong commandos were holed up near this compound, government troops were unable to oust the dug-in guerrillas. Most of the compound was burned in the fighting.
