Gen. Khanh Re-E~erges as the Strong Man
By Beverly Deepe
A Special Correspondent
SAIGON.
A year ago yesterday, Maj .
Gen. Nguyen Khanh, in his
first swift coup d'etat, entered
the Premier's office with three
stars, a modest black goatee
and a reputation for being an
expert poker player.
Today he sports four stars,
a Genghis Khan goatee plus
moustache and the air of a
winner of an important round
of political gambling.
A year ago he was the front
man for other generals and
political rivals; today he is
the behind-the-=scenes strongman, officially Commanderin-Chief of the Vietnamese
armed forces and chairman
of the Armed Forces Council,
which has openly become a
super-government making the
key decisions in the anticommunist sphere of influence in Viet Nam.
One of the surest bets in
Viet Nam is that this spring
the 37-year-old General will
be elected President with de
Gaulle-like powers - barring
an assassination.
He is, in short, the man of
the moment-but the mo-
ment in a lost year and a
losing war. Gen. Khanh is
the strongman governing a.
shrinking
anti-Communist
sphere.
FULL CIRCLE
"We have now come full
circle back to January last
year," one Vietnamese po11tician explained.
"This year has been a repetition of history-but also
the evolution '-, of history.
There are many changes in
the year. When Khanh first
came to power, he was eager
to be a government official.
Now he still longs :for these
things, but he vigorously protests he does not want them.
"He's using as a political
axiom to acquire the Presidency that old French proverb: 'If you follow the woman, she will flee ; if you retreat, she will follow you.'
"Khanh has learned his
political ABC's well; he's
much more mature,'. ' the
politician continued. "He
the Americans; now he's
built the image of being
mildly anti-An1erican and a
more independent Vietnamese
leader.''
came ·to power clinging to
During the past· year Gen.
Kha.nh failed to lead his
nation In the anti-Communist war-a task the free
world assigned to him-but
he survived, which is all
that Viet Nam expected of
him. His policy of survival,
considering the initial odds,
was in itself a political
achievement, according to
Vietnamese observers.
When he entered the
Premier's office, American
po!1cy was to build a strongman regime. Visits by Defense Secretary Robert S.
McNamara and Secretary of
State Dean Rusk aided this
objective.
This policy in 1964 was
only partially successful.
During the coming months,
the policy will be continued
in an almost last-ditch attempt to maintain a politically stable government with
a high degree of centralized
power resting In the hands
of Gen. Khanh. The prospect
is that this plan will be implemented at all costs.
Last January, as the front
man for a coalition of Rightwing generals and political
parties, Gen. Khanh felt that
his immediate enemies were
to his rear-not the Viet
Cong Communist guerrillas
in the front line .
Now, a year later, despite
being toppled from office by
rioting students, he has In
one way or another exiled all
personal political and military rivals and eliminated
all anti-Communist organizations that would compete ·:for
1'1.ls position.
But as Gen. Khanh's power
increased so did that of his
enemies and potential opponents. Gen. Khanh has established for himself and
the armed forces more and
more control, but the Viet
Cong have tightened their
political-military grip on thi
peasant masses and the Buddhists have increaesd their
political influence on the urban masses.
"The armed forces-and
Khanh-have more and more
control over less and less territory and fewer and· fewer
people," one Vietnamese observer noted.
Gen. Khan's current state
of decision is in marked contrast to his low point ftve
months ago when, in a moment of immobility, he was
una.ble to counter the riots regional groupings, but upon
