Diem s government. A Voice of America broad cast said officials in Washing ton had absolved South Vict Nam's top-ranking army lead ers of any responsibility for the sacking of the pagodas and the mass arrests and put the blame squarely on the shoul ders of Nhu and the secret po lice and special troops he con trols. The broadcast also said offi cials in Washington had warned that massive American aid to South Viet Nam might be sharply reduced if Diem did not get rid of the secret police of ficials responsible for the 1 aftacLrti I The broadcast did not say ' js felt that they now are hated ihai ni,.m u-nnM oi.., h, L by large segments of the popu- teel rid nf hn h'i thi .nc i Uion because of the crack- clearly implied since the blame don as pinned on him mature from a tactical point of view and it might unduly tie the hands of the new Ameri can Ambassador to South Viet Nam, Henry Cabot Lodge. U. S. Opposes Miu The United States has now decided, these reliable sources say, that it can no lonogcr af ford to support ' a government here which includes Nhu and his beautiful but hot-tempered and outspoken wife, who has called the Buddhists "traitors" and their fiery suicides in pro test against the government's religious policies "barbecues."

These sources sav the U.S. has decided it would have no chance of winning this largely political war against the Com munist guerrillas in alliance with a government which the Nhus actually control.

And uncon trolled explosion, they point out, can as easily name the man on the throwing end as the man on the catching end of the bomb. Nhu and his wife, considered the strongest personality in the family, are not expected to give up without an intense struggle, which could easily end in violence to U,S. per sonnel and installations here. According lo sources, Nhu will try over the next few days to calm down the United States by making some purportedly conciliatory moves on the sur face and telling the United States the Buddhist crisis is now over and things should return to normal. Reopening Pagodas The government Is now re pairing the ransacked pagodas and will release a number of priests and nuns to reopen them soon, the sources say. The government also has re leased most of the students, numbering well over a thous and, who were arrested last Sunday. Observers here believe the nationwide crackdown on Bud dhists here not only has washed out U.S. chances of winning the war against the Communist guerrillas with the presently constituted Vietna- mnco omromment hut also has seriously damaged U.S. pres tige in other Buclcimsi countries in Asia. The crackdown may also put the U.S. in an even more em barrassing position if the Bud- Ahiet icullA PnmnK UH in the United Nations General Assem bly as it well may. Everybody's Favorite!
