Diem's Brother
Power In Viet Mam Coup
SAIGON, South Viet Nam iL'Pl
President Ngo Dinh Diem's
brotlier was reported today to
have taken over most of Uie pow
er in South Viet Nam in a quiet
palace roup.
Well - informed sources said
that Ngo Dinh Nhu, who has been
Diem's chief political adviser for
years and is head of the secret
police, is the one who engineered
tlie massive crackdown on Bud
dhist and opposition elements in
a series of raids early Wednes

In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
South Viet Nam gets back into
the news today. There appears to
have been a palace revolution in
Saigon, the capital, and Henry
Cabot Lodge, our new ambassa
dor. Jias been hustled down there
to find out what is going on and
what we can do about it.
This morning's dispatches indi
cate that President Diem's broth
er has taken over in the palace
and appears to be running the
shebang. 1
What kind o! person is this
brother who has taken over?
It's hard to say, but recent news
reports seem to indicate that it
is his w ife who wears the .pants
in his family. There are religious
aspects to the trouble. Buddhist
monks have been protesting
against the attitude of the royal
family. Their protests have taken
the form of burning themselves to
death in flaming pyres.
Of these protests, the lady said
the other day: "I would clap
hands at seeing another monk
barbecue, for one can not be re
sponsible for the madness of oth
ers." A pleasant sort of character,
isn't she?
Queslion:
Where do w e come into the pic
ture? Well, on the theory that com
munist control of South Viet Nam
would greatlv facilitate commu
nist PENETRATION of other
parts of Southeast Asia, we have
had 12.000 U.S. troops stationed
in the country to help fight the
Viet Cong, who are the commu
nists. In addition we have been
pungling up about a million dol
lars a day to the ruling Diem
government.
Question No. 2:
How did we ever get mixed
up in that awful mess, anyway?
Queslion No. 3:
Isn't it getting to be about time
for us to GET OUT?
Shucks!

This, plus the resignation of
Vietnamese Foreign Minister Vu
Van Man in protest against the
crackdown against the Buddhists,
apparently were the reasons why
newly arrived U.S. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge has been un
able to confer with government
officials on the boiling crisis.
U.S. Embassy officials said
Lodge has not conlerred w ith any
Vietnamese officials since he ar
rived Thursday nigiit. and that he
w ill not present his credentials to
Diem until Monday or possibly
Tuesdav.
Mau. a Buddhist, was to have
met Lodge at the airport when he
arrived, but had resigned instead.
An eyewitness who saw Mau at
the foreign ministry building said
the foreign minister said he
resigned "to protest against the
;overnment. He added that he
had shaved his head in the man
ner of Buddhist monks to express
his sympathy with other Bud
dhists in the country.
Officials said Lodge was ex
pected to spend the weekend con
ferring with American officials hi
an effort to get a clear picture of
what has been going on here. He
was ordered to Saigon ahead of
schedule by President Kennedy
when the sudden crisis erupted
this week.
No new violence was reported
in Saigon or other centers of
Buddhist opposition that were the
scenes of wholesale arrests of
Buddhist priests and nuns

Senate Bill
Would Bar
Rail Strike
WASHINGTON (UPD-The Sen
ate Commerce Committee today
approved a bill providing for ar
bitration of the railroad dispute
by an independent seven-man
board.
The legislation would bar
changes in work rules that threat
en to set off a nationwide rail
strike next Wednesday midnight
Committee Chairman Warren
G. Magnuson said he expected
the Senate to pass the measure
on Monday.
The bill would create a board
consisting of two representatives
each from the railroads and un
ions involved in the four-year-old
controversy.
These four would select three
other board members. If they
could not agree on the other
me m b e rs. President Kennedy
would choose the neutrals.
The board first would consider
the two main issues in the dis
puteemployment of firemen and
size of train crews and hand
down its ruling within M days
after the legislation is enacted.
Meantime, the bill provides for
continued negotiation on second
ary issues. But it calls for sub
mission of those matters lo the
arbitration board if there is no
agreement reached within 30
days after the ruling on the two
key issues.
The arbiters would have 60
days to make binding decisions
on the secondary matters.
The bill provides however, that
no arbitration award will take ef-
lect until all the issues are re
solved either through arbitration
or negotiation.
The board could make rulings
that would bind both sides for
two years or a longer period if
both parties agreed.
The bill adopted by the 17-man
committee was described as a
substitute for President Kenne
dy's proposal to refer the dispute
to tlie Interstate Commerce Com
mission (ICC.
Magnuson said the "consensus
was that we did not want to in
volve a government agency in
this matter."
The rail unions have criticized
the ICC as a management-oriented
bodv.
Eyes Possible Budget Cuts
Hatfield has indicated he would
not call a special session unless
he had to. He said if the legis
lature couldn't approve a g o o d
revenue measure in a 141 - day
regular session, llier? was no

Change
In Language
WASHINGTON (LTD - Ally.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy was ex

with a new version of a propos
al to allow the President to with

Kennedy planned to submit the
changes to the Senate Judiciary
Committee which has been study

congressional sources, the main
dilference from the original
measure is new language which
would permit stales or localities

City Calls Bids On New
Fire Training Facility
Plans have been completed for
59,000 training center for local
firemen to be built off Spring
Street on a city-owned site.
The center, designed by Klam
ath Falls architect Robert Ford,
features a four-story tower which
will be used for training firemen
rescues, ladder control and
other techniques.
Also, there will be a classroom
area and two fire pits which will
provide realistic conditions for the
trainees. Another pool of water
will be used to teach hose and
pumping techniques and a "smoke

building.
The City Council Monday night
passed a resolution calling for
bids for the new center, which
will be built on a site behind the

The L'niled Nations Security

Before tlie It-nation Ixxly were

Israeli Ambassador Michael S

Senate Leader Predicts
Approval Of Test Treaty
WASHINGTON lUPP A Sen
ate loader conceded today that
the split among scientists
over the nuclear test ban treaty
"could cost a few votes" for its
ratification, but he said the pact
was not in jeopardy.
Chairman J. William Fulbright,
D-Ark., of tlie Senate Foreign
Relations Committee said in an
interview that the cleavage in the
scientific community left "no
clear preponderance for or
against the treaty."
Fulbright's remarks reflected
the surprise of many senators
over the divided testimony of nu
clear experts on the treaty bar
ring all but underground tests.
Dr. Edward Teller, "father of
the H-bomb" and a chief oppo
nent of the pact, may be ques
tioned further in closed ses
sion by the three-committee
group headed by Fulbright.
Teller's attack on the trea

Foreign Aid
Reduced
S1 Billion
WASHINGTON IUP11 - The
House today approved a last-gasp
Republican move to chop more
than $1 billion from President
Kennedy's foreign aid bill.
The 222-188 roll call vote was a
stunning setback for administra
tion forces, who had steered tlie
17th annual aid authorization lo
the point of passage almost un
scathed. The vote cleared the way for
final passage of the big au
thorization bill, which then will
go to the Senate.
The climactic upset was attri
buted partly to weekend ab
senteeism and partly to the grow
ing dissatisfaction of House mem
bers with tlie continued outpour-
ng of taxpayer dollars. Post-
World War II military and eco
nomic assistance already has
topped $100 billion.
Despite these factors House
leaders previously had managed
to turn aside all earlier efforts
to cut the program. They also
had blocked or tempered most of
a whole barrage of proposed new
restrictions.
They went into today's crucial
vole happy with these successes
hut frankly worried about the
outcome on this final assault on
the bill. It previously had been
trimmed by the foreign affairs
committee more than $400 million
below the President's request.

President Harry S. Truman said
today the chances of the Russians
not violating (he recently signed

"I don't trust them across the
street," he commented in an im
promptu interview during liis
morning stroll. "They broke 32

ing the ones signed by President
Roosevelt at Yalta.
"You can't blame me for being
a little skeptical. They re
good," he added, again referring
to the Russians.
Nevertheless, Truman said tlie
treaty, still subject to Senate rati
fication, had his full backing.
I'm for it. and I wrote Presi
dent Kennedy and told him so.
'The idea is to get a start on
those tilings and you can always
amend them. After all, they tlie
Russians' may change and keep
the agreement. That's the chance
you've got to lake."
Truman, still jaunty for his 79
years, would not hazard a guess
on how long it would be before
tlie treaty is broken.
'I'm no prophet, and I don't in
tend to be, but it's a step in the
right direction," he, commented.
When asked about the opposi
tion of Dr. Edward Teller, "fa
ther of the H-bomb," to the
