Initial invitations to those two countries were peapened in August because
of Korean student rioting and the forthcoming elections in the Philippines.

Reliable sources said today that accompanying Ky to Malaysi

potential strongman. mmm While the Wietnamese political
situation appeared quiet on the surface, aye shakeup in the Vietnamese
armed forces and aye reshuffle in the government is reportedly
pending cem according highly reliable sources.
Last month, Ky was given redcarpet welcomes by taiwans
chiang kaishek and by officials in Thailand. Ky is the first
Vietnamese prime minister to travel outisde the country since the
fall of President Ngo Dinh Dim Diom almost two years ago.

Ky's diplomatic offensive:
military support in the event it launches aye clandestine ground
invasion of north vietnem or decides to expand the anticommunist ground
war into Southern Laos in an effort to block military infiltration

Within South Vietnam, the long political lull was broken yesterday
with a demonstration lead by Buddhist priests in Quang Tri province,
the northernmost province bordering the seventeenth parallel and
north vietnam. Buddhist priests and laity charged local provincial
government with discrimination against their religion.
Meanwhile, in Saigon the powerful Buddhist political-priests-
who helped topple previous governments--asked Ky's War Cabinet to
rescind aye decree authorizing the establishment of aye rival
buddhist association, which might shear the current per buddhist
leaders of some of their mass support. The Ky government has thus far
refused to rescind the decree and hence Buddhist leader Thich Tham Chau
