Windows and brickwork of the five-storey building were shat- tered. Two Americans, a girl secre- tary and a U.S. Army officer, were among the dead and 45 or more Americans were injured. The other casualties were Viet- namese and non-American for- eigners, many of them strolling on the street when the massive charge went off at 10:35 a.m. Speculation quickly arose that the United States would thrust a mighty retaliatory strike at Communist North Viet Nam, possibly even hitting Hanoi, the capital. South Vietnamese soldiers and government officials were accosting Americans and say- ing: "Now you have no choice, you have to bomb Hanol."' 7 IN SERIOUS CONDITION Seven of the injured Ameri- cans, including a woman sec- retary. were in serious condi- tion, A® total of seven, some with lesser hurts such as eye injuries from flying glass, were flown to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines for specialist treatment. (In Washington, the state de- partment reported a total of 196 casualties. It listed two Ameri- cans and 11 Vietnamese dead; 54 Americans and 129 Vietna- mese injured.) The Vietnamese dead in- cluded one of two terrorists who participated in the bombing. The other, who carried a .45- calibre pistol, was shot by a policeman just before the bomb went off and was in se- rious condition. ' Among non-American foreign- ers injured by the blast were a French businessmag 'and sev- eral Japanese residents of Sai- 'on. The mighty blast punched & gaping hole in the five-storey concrete embassy. It shattered every window in the building and dug an enormous crater in the street. Flames and smoke mush- roomed 300 feet into the air in one of the worst terrorist blows delivered by the Communist) Viet Cong. ; It came as no surprise. The embassy has been the target of several Communist terrorist at- tacks. The immediate specula- tion here was that the United States would answer the attack with massive new retaliation against North Viet Nam, possi- bly an air raid on Hanoi, the} are deducted, the entire pool!11 p.m. EST. a !

Money May Have Halted Bomb: Agent SAIGON (AP)--Several South Vietnamese undercover agents said today that the bombing of the U.S. Embassy might have been avoided if more money had been available to pay informers. There may even have been an element of grudge involved in| the bombing, one 'said. South Vietnamese police broke up a plot to bomb the U.S. Embassy last week when they intercepted and seized a motorscooter loaded with ex- plosives: coming into the city. The seizure resulted from a tip from an informer who was re- ported to have been promised 100,000 piastres (about $1,000) for the deal. But the informer was reported to have received only 20,000 piastres (about $200). Undercover men feel they might have been able to thwart the embassy bombing if the in- former had been paid more.
