POLICY
Reaction in Saigon
Is Awaited by U. S.

erals who compose the military
high command.
Up to the end of last week
the Presidents advisers had
hoped that no such step as he
took last night would be neces-
sary. They had counted on
popular antagonism in South
Wet Nam, Spearheaded by dissi-
dent Buddhist monks, to pro
duce pressures which would
lead to Mr.. Mus withdrawal
from his Strongman role in Mr.
Diem's regime.
But the United States lost
the first round of it's bid to
GUST Mr.. Nhu because at the
end of the week he was still
firmly in power, and the Bud
dhist movement against the
government, and the support
ing student demonstrations
had been crushed through
widespread arrests of students,
monks and nuns.
United States dissatisfaction
with the government was ORA
matically demonstrated by the
granting of asylum to monks
who sought refuge in the en-
bassy in Saigon. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge, supported
by Washington, gave them pro-
lection against arrest and pos
sible punishment by the Diem
government.
But with their hopes dashed
for a government shakeup or
overthrow, perhaps led by the
army high command, United
States officials turned to other
means of trying to fCsS,e what
they consider vital reforms in
Saigon.
Will Have to Go
Presidential advisers have
been saying for a week or more
that Mr.. Nhu, who is an I'M
popular figure in his country
is "intolerable" and will have
to go if the government is to
establish any kind of new pop
ular base.
A week ago the State De-
partment. in an extraordinary
public comment, said that the
widespread arrests of Buddhist
monks and nuns were carried
out by the police in small
groups of special forces troops
not under the command of the
Wet Namese armed forces"
BY this means the State De-
partment pointed the finger OF
blame at Mr.. Nhu who is head
of the secret police and is con-
sidered here to be the direc-
tor of the special forces.

BY ROY ESSOYAN
Associated Press Staff Writer

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Sept. s.
Ngo Dinh Nhu, the man behind
the throne in South Wet Nam,
lamented recently that IF any
body's oppressed in this
country, it's the government. "
A month later, Mr.. Nhu per-
suaded his brother, President
Ngo Dinh Diem, to declare
martial law while Mr.. Nhu
personally ordered troops and
his own security police to storm
pagodaS and break the back of
a Buddhist opposition move
ment that threatened the
family regime.
In the wake of this crack
down two weeks ago, Mr.. Nhu
emerged as possibly the most
powerful-and most hated
figure in South Wet Nam. He
has dominated his brother, Mr..
Diem, since their youth al
though Mr.. Diem at 81 is 10
years his senior.
Another powerful influence
in the palace-some say even
more powerful than Mr.. Nhu-
is his outspoken wife. Mr.. Diem
is a bachelor, and Mrs. Nhu
is official hostess and first lady
Mr.. Nhu likes to tell visitors
that he is a much misunder-
stood man. His is a many
faceted observation-disclosures
nered, soft-spoken and tough.
Discussing the danger of a
possible attempt to overthrow
the government, Mr.. Nhu told
a group of military leaders last
month there were only two
ways of handling a coup-"you
smash it like an egg before it is
Matched or you join it and ex-
plot it,"
Mr.. Nhu is violently anti
Communist. He has said the
only solution for the Red China
problem is to atom bonn
Picking.
But an American who has
known him for years says Mr..
Nhu is captivated by Commu
mist techniques and successes.
Communist expressions such
as "revisioniSm" often creep
into his conversation.
And one of his pet projects
is q regular Friday afternoon
self criticism" session, a
Marxist-type confessional for
military men and civil servants
1t is aimed, Mr.. Nhu says, at
"swe ping all rotten elements
out of the government ma
chinery in order to build a
happy, equal and free society.
Mr.. Nhu has a great regard
for United States industrial and
mechanical ingenuity. But he
makes no secret Of his con-
tempt for American democratic
and political processes.
Mr.. Mus favorite headgear
for relaxing outdoors is a base
ball cap. He also favors Ameri-
can sports shirts and casual

homes or small homes, in bars or restaurants, in cars or buses,
in streets or on beaches, there is discussion. Differences of
opinions. Some are unimportant and quickly forgotten. Others
concern the vital issues Of the day. Of plans for the future Of
children and that of the whole island. OF who is right and
who is wrong. OF why this should be done and why that
should not be done. Discussion. Differences Of opinion. A

British term The church fulfilling
its role Of declaring the truth can
not be estranged from the social.
economic or political affairs of the
nation. And at the very time we
may fee called upon to fulfill a
prophetic function in reference TO
the affairs OF our nation, we also
have responsibility to uphold ali
who hold public office with our
prayers and spiritual undergirding.
We have often been guilty of criti-
cizing more than we have prayer
and of tearing down without offer
ing better solutions to the prob
lens.
We have so far to go in realizing
the full stature and maturity the
Creator has offered to us. The law
Of the jungle still prevails in many
hearts. The response of the savage,
rather than the response of a
sane and civilized society is too
often our method of reacting to
each other and each others ideas.
So much unfinished business re-
mains to be done. We must face the
truth that we have increased in
knowledge but not in morality.
We have improved in technical
ski,ls but not in brotherhood. We
have probed into the far reaches
of space. but have not been able
to control the inner spirit.
Let us respect the courage, the
personal integrity, the religious de-
votion and the intellectual ability
of the martyred President. Let us
uphold his family in prayer and
sympathy.
Let us surround our new Presi-
dent with a protective shield of
prayer that he may be safe in
body and preserved in mind and
spirit and that he may be possessed
with a fu!l measure of humility
and wisdom in keeping with the
degree Of responsibility thrust up
on him.
Let us come to cur God in
prayer each day, being thankful
for orderly processes of govern
ment and in dedication of our re-
sources, our lives and our efforts
toward a more dynamic leadership
in the community of nations-a
leadership which will be marked
