Organization Nightmare
Focinq Victorious Diem
By JAMES E. ROPER

South Wet NameSe Premier
INgo Dinh Diem,s /. referendum
victory has immeasurably in
creased his stature in Southeast
Asia but his biggest task Is yet
to come.
Now he must establish effec-
tive control over every part OF
his own country. create a gov
lernment clearly responsive to the
win Of the people. build a civil
service capable of administering
government. and carry out re-
forms In agriculture and BUSH

He can expect to face all the
inner stresses Of q new country,
and also political harrassment
from the Communists OF North

His strength lies in the ALL
out support he gets from the
United States, the grudging
Tolerance he now gets from
France, and the legal stature he
has won from this weeks vote
q referendum on whether Mr..
Diem or French-appointed EN-
lperor Bao Dai should be chief
lof state. approximately 80 per
lcent Of the votes were for Mr..
Diem.
The United States last night
ANNOUNCED its recognition Of Mr..
Diem as the new chief of state
land. In effect. wished him well
ION the tasks ahead.
One Of the first will be to
establish control over South Wet
Nam. Although he has been In
Iofflce a year and q half, Premier
Diem still has only q loose hold
on about one-third OF his
country.

next year, he would hold cleo.
ltions for q National Assembly
which would act on the consti-
tuition.
Many political and economic
pitfalls win have to be evaded II
Mr.. Diem Is to bring order to his
country Of 10.5 million persons.
But oficial Washington believes
that most dangers lie within
South Wet Nam itself. The dam
lger OF q Communist take-oyer
has mostly disappeared unless.
LOT course, there should be an
outright invasion.
The Soviet Union, Communist
china and Red-run North Wet
Nam may try to use Bao Dai as
the head Of some kind OF "gov-
ernment-in-exile. " but this prob
ably would not offer q real threat
to Mr.. Diem.
The big Western powers are
rushing to clothe Mr.. Diem In
legality. although sometimes In
the past they have skirted legal
lniceties II that served their polit-
ical purpose Of fighting COM
Imunisln.
Bao Dai's claim to the ONCE Of
lchief Of state always has been
questionable.
Going Too Far
The United States, neverthe-
less. recognized Bao Dai as chief
LOT state except when he tried
to IRE Ainerican-hacked Premier
Diem. Then the United States
decided that Bao Dai shouldn't
carry this chief Of state business
Itoo far. The United States re-
fused TO recognize the Afiring.'
The United States did recog-
lnize Mr.. Diem's ability to call q
referendum to decide whether he
or his technical superior should
Ibe chief Of state.
The State Department hailed
the vote an an evolution Of or
deriy and effective democratic
process"
The voting provided Wet Nam
with the glitter and razzle-daz-Y
lzie Of an election with few pol
Iitical hazards for Mr.. Diem.
Everyone knew that it would not
be physically safe for Bao Dai To-
leave his exile IN France even
II he wanted to-and 60 to
Wet Nam to campaign. He quite
likely would have met an un-.
Timely end.
Few persons In South Wet
Nam rislked campaigning for the
lexiled Emperor. The newspapers
lof Saigon-ali censored by Mr.
Diem's heutenants offered little
material in support Of Bao Dali.
Festooned with Posters
Dispatches from Wet Nam have
described how the city was

|munist agents. or. In q few cases
the outlawed sects.
Trend Is Good
The best that can be said Is
that the trend is good. When
Mr.. Diem became Premier, he
didn't control the Army COM
mander, and the Army Itself
couldn't control the substantial
armies which the so-called re-
ligious sects had created.
Now Mr.. Diem has won the
loyalty Of the army. and the
army has splintered and defeated
or made peace with--the pri-
yate armies.
Where the private armies
ruled in the past. Mr.. Diem
needs to move in his own troops
and. II possible, some civil serv-
