Chinese Reds had the U. N. war

But II We still have time, j
don't say, that time is on our

cdpied with preparing for that

never come, and have been blind
to the tepid wars which the
Kremlin is winning. and which
now threaten to outflank the

Wet Nam Coup Seen
In Battle Of Premier
And His Army Chief
BY the Associates, Press

SAIGON, Indo- China, Sept
13.-The possibility Of a military
coup arose today in a battle for
power in South Wet Nam.
The army chief Of staff. Gen
Nguyen Van Hinh, refused to
accept virtual exile and, though
declaring his continued loyalty
to Premier Neo Dinh Diem s
government, warned that his
troops are restless.
II want by all means to avoid
bloodshed and / am trying to
calm my men," he said. But
that is getting more and more
difficult.'
Gen FIinh formally refused to
obey Mr.. Dien's order that he
leave Friday for six months
leave" in France on a study
mission.
The Premier's order was an
obvious move to dismiss the
army chief Of staff. The general
replied that he could not leave
without turning over his duties
to a successor.
Last night he received instruc-
tions. to leave by Air France to-
morrow.
Gen. Hinh replied: 1T is i'm
possible for me to leave within
the time fixed. / remain loyal To
the Government and want to re-
main within the law. but ] can
not leave so quickly / need con-
siderable time to hand over my
duties and / nave in hand much
work involved in the transfer to
the Wet Namese army Of the
military affairs which have been
held by the French army"
Observers in the capital say
any move in these circumstances
to arrest Gen. Hinh would pro-
woke an army revolt. But If Mr..
Diem refuses to revoke his or
ders. a solution by force seems
inevitable anyhow.
For two days, Gen. Hinh'S resi-
dence has been guarded by about
so soldiers armed with grenades
and machine guns and the gen.
eral has not moved outside with
out an armed escort.
Increasing unrest among the
army officers and men was ap-
parent. Several groups of army
men met in self-constituted COM
mittees to discuss the situation.
One officer emerged from such
a meeting declaring:
This treatment (of Gen
Hinh) is inadmissible. The dis
missal of the general is not chal-
lenged, but the government has
mo right to impose exile in France
on him as If he were a criminal.
The army is 'eady to respond to
any new proyocation."
Yesterday. Gen. Hinh counter
manded government orders i'm
posing censorship on dispatches
by foreign correspondents con-
ce1hing the clasl, between the
Premier and the general.
The general posted troops
around the Offices of Radio Sal
gon outnumher'rg the militia al
ready stationed there by Mr..
Diem. and directed the censors
to pass all stories concernins the
situation. =
