The ouster apparently was car-'
ried' out without touching off a
government crisis, but it exposed
a crack in the clique of young
generals who have shared power
since 1964.
Washington watched for devel-
opments. A White House deputy'
press secretary, Robert H. Flem-
ing, said, "We're still waiting for
details."
There was no official announce-
ment here, but it was learned that

me of his site.
NEW YORK (o)-The minimum
cost of loans to the nation's big-
gest and most secure borrowers
was boosted by major banks yes-
terday to 51/2 per cent from 5 per
cent, thus making it more difficult
and more costly to borrow.
The move, which ultimately
might mean higher rates on con-
sumer loans, was initiated by Mor-
gan Guaranty Trust Co. of New
York early yesterday afternoon.
Within hours many of the na-
tion's largest banks had joined
the move, although some held off.
Speed
The speed with which most fell
into line was illustrated by Ed
Smith, president of the First Na-
tional Bank in Atlanta, Ga.
"Ours is already raised," he
said. "Raised when we got the
news from New York."
A spokesman for Indiana Na-
tional Bank, Indianapolis, said,
"We pay more for the money to
get to lend. It's pretty obvious we
must raise rates."
There was no immediate com-
ment from the Treasury Depart-
ment. And the Federal Reserve
Board declined comment.
Moyers
At the White House, press sec-
retary Bill D. Moyers said there
was no reaction to the move.
The most immediate impact was
on the stock market, which had
been rallying strongly. It went
into a sharp decline and prices
closed slightly lower.
Any increase in the prime rate
-the interest banks charge their
biggest customers-often precedes1
increases in other rates of in-
terest, such as on consumer loan.
High Rates
High interest rates are regarded
as bearish by the stock market
because investment money is at-
tracted from stocks by the high
return offered by banks.
William S. Renchard, chairman
of the Chemical Bank New York
Trust Co. said the new rate struc-
ture "should act as a deterrent to
overrapid expansion of bank
credit with possible inflationary
consequences."
The most recent previous in-
crease in the prime rate, to 5 per
cent from 41% per cent, was on
Dec. 6, the day after the Federal
Reserve Board increased to 41
per cent its discount rate-the fee
the board charges for loans to
member commercial banks.

Senate Approves New Aid Bill,
Military Funds for Asian War
WASHINGTON (A:) - A $275-
million dose of emergency aid for
South Viet Nam's war-ravaged
economy won overwhelming Sen-
ate approval yesterday. And a
swift, final vote sent to the White
House a bill authorizing $4.8 bil-
lion in new battlefield funds.
The aid vote came after a warn-
ing that without fresh economic
help the South Vietnamese gov-
ernment might collapse.
The aid authorization bill
passed, 82-2, after a scant five
hours of debate-a thin echo of
the long and bitter argumen over
the big military spending measure.!
Lone Dissenters
Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
and Ernest Gruening (D-Alaska)
were thg lone dissenters.
The military money bill cleared
its real test in the Senate 10 days
1. ago. Yesterday's voice votes in
both House and Senate reconciled
minor differences and sent the bill
to President Johnson for his sig-
nature. The money is for wea-
pons and other military supplies.
As the Senate acted on the
emergency aid bill totaling $415
h million for Viet Nam and other
trouble spots, an Asian affairs ex-
pert predicted Communist China
would fight to preserve the Red
regime in North Viet Nam.
Prof. John K. Fairbank of Har-
vard University said he doubts
Red China would permit unifica-
tion of Viet Nam as a Southeast
Asian buffer state.
"The Chinese Communists can-
not afford to let us into North
Viet Nam without a fight," he told
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, "and we cannot afford
to let the Communist Chinese into
the South where they would
threaten the power balance in all
of Southeast Asia."
Fairbank recommended admis-
sion of Red China to the United
.. ations-and, at the same time,

clashed with police and troops in
Calcutta and the surrounding area
last night. At least 13 persons
were reported killed. One, was a

rounding areas, the Indian army
was called in.
