Recent arrivals to Vietnam included Lee Lescaze and Joseph Kraft of the Washington Post; Robert Keatley of the Wall Street Journal; David Welsh of Ramparts Magazine; Robert Boyd of Knight Newspapers; Clarence Hall and Gordon Gaskill of Reader's Digest; Robert L. Pisor of the Detroit Daily News. Igor Oganesoff, correspondent with CBS News, stopped briefly in Vietnam, after recently shifting his assigned base from Europe to Tokyo.

Expected soon are Kermit Lansner, managing editor of Newsweek; Hedley Donovan, editor-in-chief of Time; Len Giovannetti heading a 11-man NBC crew to do a special documentary featuring Raymond Burr, the TV's Perry Mason.

Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Walter ("Johnny") Apple Jr. sponsored a farewell reception for Joseph Treaster, who came to Vietnam with the U. S. Army 1st Air Cavalry Division, was later discharged in-country and became stringer for the Times. He will a join the Net Metropolitan desk of the Times as a staff correspondent.

The American military command announced the opening of their fourth press camp at the II Corps Headquarters city of Pleiku in the central highlands. The command said the camp is capable of serving 25 correspondents in tent billets furnished with steel cots, mattresses, bed linen, pillows and laundry service--for a $1-a-night billet fee. Other official press camps are situated at Danang, Nhatrang and Qui Nhon, but subsidiaries sprout up where ever the action is, such as at Dong Ha near the Dmili Demilitarized zone.
