International effects may be
more serious.
Most nations in the nom
Communist world, including
the United States, have little
sympathy for governments
exercising real religious perse-
cution.
And South Wet Nam is
heavily depending on outside
help to survive the Communist
push.
For three months. Buddhist
leaders have famed the flames
of civil disobedience in protest
marches, speeches. pamphlet
eering and the spectacle Of an
aged monk burning himself
alive in a Saigon street.
The government, tightly con-
trolled by President Diem and
his relatives, has hit back hard
with billy clubs, tear gas and
bullets in some cases.
Twelve persons, Buddhists anc
bystanders, have been killed
Several hundred demonstrators
have been injured more or less
seriously. Hundreds of others
have been questioned by police
Mrs. Ngo Dinh Nhu, the
presidents sister in-law, de-
nounced the Buddhist leaders
today in remarks addressed to
about 1000 young girl recruits
of the paramilitary women's
corps she heads. She said:
"They INCREASINGLY drum on

A point Of general agreement
between Buddhists and Cath
olics is that this is not a strug-
gle between Buddhism and
Catholicism.
Leading Catholic and Bud
dhist clergymen have beer
solicitous about each others
faiths. Buddhist leaders cabled
congratulations to Pope Pau
VI on his coronation.
The Catholic archbishop Of
Saigon has pointedly reminded

The question Is whether
there Is persecution Of Bud

In Whisky Sale
BY JACK LANDAU
star staff Writer

A Turkish Embassy official
disclosed yesterday that the
Turkish government will pros
ecute an Embassy secretary
translator in connection with
charges that he was the key
man in the illegal Importation
OF $75O,OOO worth Of Canadian
whisky.
The official, Mehmet Baydar,
Turkish Embassy Counselor,
also said that the Embassy en-
ploye, Mehmet Pertev Kokde-
mir. was returned to this coun-
Il try by the Turkish government
at the request of the State De-
partment so that he could tes-
tify against six men and a liq-
uor wholesaler indicted on
charges Of illegal importation.
Mr.. Baydar added that Mr..
Kokdemir was brought back
under diplomatic immunity at
the State Departments request,
but that he is performing no
duties at the Embassy and Is
only waiting TO testify at the
trial.
p rged in Turkey
Embassy officials noted that
charges have been lodged In
Turkey against Mr.. Kokdemir.
accusing him Of forging gov
eminent documents and Of
misusing his position at the
Embassy. If he is convicted, Mr..
Baydar said. he faces a pos
Sible sentence Of 10 years in
prison.
Mr.. Baydar added that the
Turkish Embassy had no
knowledge or information
about the alleged crimes until
1t was brought to their atten-
ton by the State Department
recently. He said that Mr.. Kok-
demir was then in Turkey in
q new assignment.
Mr.. Kokdemir was named In
a District grand jury indict-
ment last Thursday charg-
ing him with forging import
documents for Canadian Club
whiSkey so that 1t was import
ed duty and tax free over a
six-year period from 1855 TO
1862.
Put In Warehouse
The indictment claimed that
the liquor was ordered by the
Middle Atlantic Distributors.
Inc, wholesalers. and placed in
their warehouse under bond IN
the 1000 block Of Adams place
NE. Mr.. Kokdemir would pre-
sent documents to the customs
indicating that the liquor was
for the use of Turkish military
personnel at the Embassy and
thus was duty and tax free.
Robert x. Perry. an assistant
United States attorney. said that
Mr.. Kokdemir would release the
liquor to be stored in the un-
bonded section of the ware
house. Mr.. Perry said that five
Pittsburgh men would pick UP
the liquor.
100000 Tax Loss
Mr.. Perry estimated that the
men brought in an average Of
28S cases a month and that the
tax loss to the Government
was about 100000.

move to give concrete meaning
to the principle that bishops
share authority with the Pope
in governing the church.
The council wound up debate
today on a document dealing
with Christian unity.
Augustin Cardinal Bea, head
of the Secretariat for promoting
Christian unity, promised the
council fathers that key state
mentS on religious liberty and
against anti-Semitism would
come up at the next session,
scheduled to begin Sept. IA and
last through Nov. 20, 1864.
A number of council fathers
were disappointed that the two
subjects had not come up for
vote and Bea'S speech was an
attempt to reaSsure them that
parliamentary maneuvering
would not result in their being
shelved.
During its two meetings last
fall and this year, the council
has had 70 working sessions.
Council fathers - cardinals,
bishops and heads of religious
orders from around the world
have heard millions of words of
debate in Latin.
So far, only two of the II pro-
posed documents have been
completed. These two DEGREES,
one dealing with the form of
public worship and the other
with modern communications
media, will be promulgated by
Pope Paul vi on Wednesday
when he officially brings this
council session to an end.
Roman Catholic sources said
Sunday the council may 60 on
until 1866, which would give it
a five-year span. The late Pope
John XIII, who called the
council and presided at its first
session in October, 1862, had
hoped it could finish by this
Christmas. But the end is no
where near in sight.

WASHINGTON CUPID A
union = management Organiza-
ton supervising multi billion
dollar pension funds has moved
to block possible TeamSter I'm
ion control by asking court ap-
proval to 60 out Of business.
The organization, the Nation
al Conference Of Health, Wei
fare and Pension Funds Inc.
was formed to aid trustees and
administrators of welfare and
pension funds run jointly by
union and employer trustees.
In asking the court Monday
to end its 1O-year life, the Or
ganization said it was not able
to carry out its functions.
The suit did not name Team
Ster President James r. Hoffa,
but informed sources said the
action was taken to block truS-
tees from the Transfers Union
in their drive to dominate the
organization.
However, another law suit
was filed to halt the move to
dissolve the conference. A tenn
porary restraining order was is
sued to block an immediate ef-
fort by the conference to 60 out
Of business.
Hoffa appeared at the confer
ence's annual workshop in Mi
ami Beach, Fla, in mid
November and was quoted as
saying that he and his allies
were trying to gain control of
the groups board of directors.
In its suit, the conference
said its workshops, designed to
provide guidance to those in
control Of the funds, proved
impossible to conduct"
A dissident group at the
workshop sessions repeatedly
obtained a temporary injunction
to force suspension of the meet
ings.
Hoffa was said to have
charged that the conference
violated its own constitution in
revising bylaws to provide for
an enlarged board of directors.
Legal papers filed Monday
showed that membership in the
conference included nearly 100
labor union local or regional or
CARNATIONS. More were af-
affiliated with the Transfers
than with any other union.
