Today they hoped to carry out a
final sweep through those
houses still held by North
Vietnamese troops.
But the Marines delayed their
final assault until they receive
permission to use heavy artille-
ry or air strikes on the palace
walls. Fire from the walls could
make even more costly this
bloodiest battle of the Vietnam

Ibrahim said the Marines

sion to use whatever weapons
they consider necessary or a
firm order committing them to
battle without that air and
artillery support against one of
the architectural treasures of
the Orient. The decision became
political because of the emotion-
