SP-1647 ``` English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader) ``` RALLIERS IN PHU YEN HAVE RISEN TO OVER 2,400! As of mid-November [19]66, the number of Viet Cong troops and North Vietnamese communists who have returned to the Republic of Vietnam government in Phu Yen has risen above 2,400 people. Hundreds of others are now eagerly returning. One of those who returned in November was Mr. Le Dien, a Viet Cong guerrilla squad leader in An-Hai village, Tuy-An district. He brought back a carbine, 75 rounds of ammunition and 3 grenades. He also guided allied soldiers to seize 5 Russian guns and 2 tons of Viet Cong rice, capture two V.C. cadres, and free 2 V.C. prisoners, one of whom was Mr. Dien's father-in-law. Mr. Le Dien had served the V.C. for more than a year. He said he intended to return when he realized that the Viet Cong's boast of having captured Phu Yen was untrue. He said: "I felt that if I stayed with the Viet Cong I would sooner or later die in a clash with Allied forces. The Viet Cong only destroy the country, while the Allies build up and help the people." He also said he intends to join the [government] army to fight the Viet Cong. Mr. Le Dien and the safe-conduct pass he used to rally [to the government]. He said that after reading the leaflet he knew for certain he would be kindly received under the Chieu Hoi (Open Arms) program. Mr. Le Dien and his family at the Chieu Hoi center. He rallied together with his whole family. PHU YEN CHIEU HOI CENTER The Chief of the Phu Yen Chieu Hoi Service, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Trang, warmly greeting Mr. Dien.
