At the end of each year this
is a question you should ask

more than one employer, ac-
cording to Glenn Gardner,
manager of the Billings social

"a social security account
can be worth up to 100000 per

ity insurance benefits at any
age, and survivors benefits in
the event of the death of the

said.
He added that there are a
number of ways to insure that
one receives the social security
credits due him. One way is to
examine the Form W. fur
nisIhed by your employer at
the end of each year. SIN ad--

of income tax taken out of
your wages" Gardner said,
"the Form W. shows the

much support 1t receives from
the United States.
On this point, 1t must be
hoped that the judgm e n in
Washington is SCUM der than
that Of some European experts
on Southeast Asia.
War WEAKNESS Seen
These experts are persuaded
that the prevailing mood in
Wet Nam is one Of overwhelm-
ing war WEAKNESS. They be-
lieve that this mood exists on
both sides Of the dividing line
between South Wet Nam and
the Communist North.
They believe some Of them
may hope-that the main diff
ference between the new re-
gime and the old one is that
Diem's successors will be far
less unconditional" In their
prosecution Of war against the
Communist Wet Cong. They
believe indeed that his disap-
pearance from the scene has
been the first condition for a
negotiated settlement of tn e
conflict.
This line Of reasoning may
seem slightly treasonous, of
course, to those who look for
ward to a new upsurge of ma
tionalistic anti-communism In
the wake Of Diem's custer. The
argument in favor Of a neutral
lied and reunited Wet Nam,
advanced by French President
de Gaulle, has not received a
sympathetic echo in Washing
ton.
1t remains to be seen, howev-
er, who Is the shrewder Judge
Of the temper Of the people in
South Wet Nam today. The bet
here is that any new regime
that attempts to wage uncom-
promising war on the Commu-
nists will soon find itself in the
same spot so recently vacated
by the uncompromising and
unfortunate Diem.

Kennedy Skips Trip
For Wet Nam ToIks

lWashington's recent experiences
in South Korea and Latin
America, where high-soundine
pledges from military revolu-
tionaries frequently have de-
generated into thinly disguised
relationships.
Despite the skepticism, how
ever, the Saigon Radio promises
and the quick move to bring in

coined here because President
Kennedy can now accord the

being questioned in some quar-
tiers here.
Diem, 1t Is assumed, was ov.
erthrown largely b ecause he
was considered an obstacle to
the war effort in Wet Nam.
President Kennedy himself is
on record as expressing doubts
that the war against Commu-
mist subversion could be won
without the whole hearted sup
port Of the people Of Wet Nam.
Quiet clearly and no doubt
correctly, the autocratic Q n d
unpopular Diem had long been
considered as a grave liability.
His ruthless suppression Of re-
bellious Buddhists and students
was simply the last straw.
National Unity Questioned
The hope in Washington ap-
parently is that the new gov
eminent will win the popular
support Diem forfeited by his
high-h a n d e d behavior. From
the American point of view, the
basic calculation b e hi d the
coup must have been that a
more liberal and more demo-
cratic regime would indee d
clear the way for victory over
the Communists.
The one thing, however, with
which no one ever reproached
Diem and his government was
t h cir uncompromising anti
com m u mis- m or their will to
fight the war to a successful
conclusion. The one thing that
no one is quite sure of is
whether his successors will
combine the same will with a
more tolerant concept Of gov
eminent.
The real question. Of course,
is how popular" is the war

Foreign Correspondent Of The star
PARIS, Nov. 2-The question
being asked here about the ov-
erthrow Of the Diem govern
ment is not wheth er it was
good or bad but whether 1t will
help win the war.
Few tears are being shed in
Europe for the disappearance
Of President Ngo Dinh Diem
and his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu.
Many Wet Namese in France,
exilAd by the regime, are hail
ing the coup d'etat. A m o n 9
them, the Wet Nam Democrat
ic Party has issued a statement
proclaiming that "the way is
cleared for a new Wet Nam
and for victory over the Com
munists.
Not everyone, however, shares
this confidence. The question
Of how the war will go from
here takes precedence even
over the question Of whether or
not Americans were responsible
for the coup d'etat.
On this score, it is assumed
by most people that the Diem
government could not have
been overthrow without at
least the passive agreement of
American authorities. And this,
in turn, leads to the conclusion
that Diem would not have been
overthrown if, in the judgment
Of American authorities, tn e
war effort against the Commu-
nists would have been seriously
impaired.
