Viet Premier Says Students,
Buddhists 'Play Reds' Game'
\
By Beverly Deepe
A Special Correspondent
SIAGON.
South Viet Nam's Premier
Tran Van Huong charged in
, an interview yesterday that
students and· Buddhists apparently attempting to spark
the overthrow of his 20-dayold civilian government were
"playing the game of the
Communists."
Mr. Huang's statement was
the first condemnation of
demonstrating Buddhists and
students,, by a high-ranking
government official since the
days of the late President Ngo
Dinh Diem, a Roman Catholic. It came only hours after
a communique issued by a
ranking
Buddhist
monk,
Thich Tam Chau, asked Chief
of State Phan Khac Suu and
the High National Council to
apply a "non-confidence vote"
for the dismissal of the Huong
government.
These statements were interpreted as an apparent
declaration of war between
the Premier and the Buddhist
movement, which has been
growing in militant political
importance since initiating
the overthrow o! the Diem
regime Nov. 1, 1963, and since
the routing of Maj. Gen.
Nguyen Khanh from the
Presidency in late August.
Many Saigonese accept
the prediction of a leading
Buddhist monk that bloodshed would prevail in the
streets of the capital before
the end of the year.
As students of four Saigon
technical and high schools
boycotted classes-a stonethrowing melee broke out in
one school yesterday-the
63-year-old Premier said:
"Thl.i. is only one phase in
the over-all Communist program. Since I am I determined to oppo
communism, I am not
prised at
them. If they are determined to subvert my country, I am determined to oppose it.
"The students are not
aware they are playing into
the hands of the Communists. It is the same way the •
Buddhist Institute is playing
the game of the Communists."
Thich Tam Chau's statement, made public after a
daylong meeting o! the Buddhist hierarchy, said he was
"not at all involved" in the
formation
of
Premier
Huang's Cabinet. The Buddhists and students have criticjzed the Cabinet's composition because somemembers
o! it formerly served in the
Diem regime. The Buddhist
leader's statement, however,
made no mention of Saigon's
current civil disorders.
rowing words of Benjamin
Franklin in 1776, warned the
South Vietnamese people that
they "must hang together or
hang separately" in their
struggle against the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas. On
the eve of his departure for
Washington for a policy review, Gen. Taylor said in an
interview taped for television
viewers in the U. S. that the
American attitude toward
Viet Nam 1s one of "tolerance
and understanding."
"This country never had a
chance to govern itself in the
past, and it is not surprising
that there is some fumbling
and _uncertainty
now," he
said.

The
students'
protest
the government reached its
height yesterday at the fashionable Le Quy Don school,
across the street from the
U. S. Navy commissary. U. S.
military policemen had to
duck for shelter as students,
who had barricaded themselves in their classrooms,
hurled stones into the compound of the commissary,
where most American were
here to do their marketing.
Signs reading "To Hell with
Huong" were put up by students.
Meanwhile, U. S. Ambassador Maxwell D. Taylor, bor-
