Reliable sources indicate coup in S. Viet Nam
caught American military commander by surprise
By Phil Newtom
UPI Staff Writer
SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(UPI) Reliable sources said to
day that the Nov. 1 coup against
President Ngo Dinh Diem
caught U.S. military command
er Gen. Paul D. Harkins by sur
prise despite warnings from his
subordinates.
The U.S. Military Assistance
Command formally denied the
report that Harkins had ignored
warnings. It said the coup lead
ers maintained strict secrecy un
til the time of their attack.
The sources said Harkins also
sent a paragraph in a report to
Washington from the military
and Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) here saying he did not
believe a coup was imminent.
They said that after the be
ginning of the coup, Harkins
asked to have the paragraph de

Denies Report
The Military Assistance Com
mand denied that any such par
agraph was included in the re

It Issued this statement on the
coup:
"The Revolutionary Military
Committee (which staged the
coup) advised the Military As
sistance Command headquarters
of the coup at 1:45 p.m., on
Nov. 1, which was approximate
ly tne time of their initial at
tack.
"At the time, they regretted
not having been able to take the
headquarters into their confi
dence, but considered absolute
secrecy paramount to the suc
cess of their plan.
The statement said the U.S.
military had been told of troop
movements on the morning of
the coup "but the cover plan
ning had been so well conceived
and executed that the immin
ence of a coup d'etat was not
apparent."
Didn't Advise Harkins
The sources said Harkins was
not taken into the confidence of
the coup leaders because they
considered him too closely con
nected to the Diem government.
They said U.S. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge was kept up
with coup plans and told two
days before the revolt when it
would occur.
Sources in the new military
government of South Viet Nam
said junta leaders have made it
clear to the U S. Embassy that
they privately regard Harkins
as a symbol of the old U.S. pol-
