About 1000 persons and 105
businesses would be displaced
by construction of the Center
Leg Freeway, highway officials
said at a District Commits

But because housing can be
built over the Center Leg Free
way, which will be depressed,
the housing can be completely
replaced, according to Albert A.
Grant, chief engineer, District
Highway Department office of
planning and programming.
In addition, relocation serv-
ices of the Redevelopment Land
Agency will be used to find
new homes for the displaced
families and businessmen, if
Congress passes relocation leg

U. S. Embassy Refuses
Refuge to Young Monk

On Monday, the military
governor of Saigon, Brig. Gen.
Ton That Dinh, told a press
conference he intended to de-
mand the return of the three
monks in refuge at the en-
baSsy. But the State Depart
ment in Washington said it
planned to continue giving
them asylum.
New friction developed in
United States South Wet
NameSe relations because the
three monks were given asylum
and a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
newspaper accused the United
States Central Intelligence
Agency of plotting to over
throw President Ngo Dinh
Diem'S regime.
Complaining the cloak and
dagger situation, it was learned
from reliable sources, was the
fact that one of the three
monks in refuge at the Embassy
was a Wet NameSe secret police
agent for nine years.
Questioned Closely
The monk, LIE Mau Chi, re-
signed from the police force in
1862 and took a job as a clerk
with the United States Aid Mis-
sion here.
Records show he was dis
charged from the United States
Aid Mission last December, and
became a monk in April-one
month before the Buddhist
government friction flared into
violence.
The monk was picked up by
Wet Namese authorities dur
ing the night of the nation
wide pagoda raids August 20,
but was repored released three
days ago.
United States authorities
are questioning all three monks
closely. The monks are living
in an aforementioned confer
ence room in the Embassy
chancery.

tunnel under the Lincoln Me-
mortal and another under the
Tidal Basin.
District officials revealed to-
day that the status of the
Center Leg has been clarified
by the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads.
For several years, officials of
the roads bureau have said the
Center Leg could not qualify
for go per cent Federal match
ing funds, because, for one
reason, it was too close to an
other interstate project.
Position Is Changed
In the last month, roads Off
Gals have switched and have
told the District that the free
way now will qualify for the

The Center Leg will be Inter-
state Route 50, a continuation
of Shirley highway which will

breakdown on the Unite
States supported government
of South Wet Nam is aimed
primarily at forcing the re
moval from power of the
brother of President Ngo Dinh
Diem.
If President Diem is unwill-
ing or unable to remove quickly
his powerful brother, Ngo Dinh
Nhu, United States officials in
dicated today the Kennedy adj
ministration will feel compelled
to consider other measures.
These measures, it is under
stood, will include a review of
the United States aid program
with possible cutbacks to fol-
low.
Kennedy Tells Views
Mr.. Kennedy told a tele
vision audience (CBS) in an
interview from Hyannis Port
Mass, last night that the war
against Communist forces in
Wet Nam could not be won
unless the Diem government
makes "a greater effort" to
win popular support.
Mr.. Kennedy said the South
Wet Nam government 'ha
gotten out of touch with the
people" and lacked the "popu
lar support" without which it
cannot win its war against the
Communists.
He expressed confidence that
there still was time for tn
South Wet Namese government
to make changes and win the
popular support he deemed es-
sential to a victory of tn e
Diem government over tn e
Communists.
Although Mr.. Kennedy said
that changes in policy land
perhaps in personnel" are
needed to produce victory, he
carefully refrained from adj
vocating any specific plan of
action for the Wet NameSe.
AS one official put it: "The
Wet Namese will have to clean
house themselves; We can't do
it for them"
Diem Action Sought
If Mr.. Kennedy's warning is
taken by dissatisfied elements
in Saigon as a bid for revolt
against the Diem government
it would be no great surprise
here.
However, officials said, the
problem would be much SIM
pier if Mr.. Diem would handle
the situation himself or the
continuity of his office was
preserved.
Mr.. Kennedy's outspoken
criticism was coupled with an
assertion that it would be "a
great mistake" to halt military
assistance to Wet Nam.
United States aid to the
small Southeast Asian country
is running at the rate of $500
million a year. The total dur
ing the last decade is near So
billion.
While Mr.. Kennedy ruled out
an end to military assistance,
officials said there are various
actions short of a United States
decision to abandon South Wet
Nam which could be taken and
which if the situation gets
sidered.

politely told he could not be
admitted.
The monk apparently sought
to join three other Buddhists,
including a top organizer of

asylum in the embassy Satur-
day.

asylum arrived in gray robes

Was Not PerSued
The young monk apparently
was not pursued by the police,
and one Of the conditions Of
political asylum is that the
refugee must be "hotly pur-

The latest refugee thanked
Marine guards and officials
anyway, made the traditional

away. He was not molested as
long as he was in sight, and
