GIRLS LOST IN VIETNAM
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) MELBOURNE, Feb. 6. Australia’s External Affairs Department today began an urgent inquiry into the disappearance of an Australian all-girl “pop” group lost in Vietnam.
An official of the department in Melbourne said today that the Australian Embassy in Saigon had been instructed to find the group, “The Pussycats,” who have been on tour in Vietnam for nine weeks and were due to return to Australia last Thursday. The official said communications with Saigon were still “pretty confused” because of the fighting there. But, he said, the Australian Embassy would have been the first to hear if anything had happened to the girls.
