A Voice of America broad

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

lice and special troops he con

that massive American aid to
South Viet Nam might be
sharply reduced if Diem did not

U. S. Opposes Miu
The United States has now
decided, these reliable sources
say, that it can no lonogcr af

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."

unpopular in this country, but it

tcr, the situation is becoming
more explosive. 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
