', APRIL 5, 2966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAIGE TEL M , APRIL 5, iSOC THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE ThREE Hard SAIGON (A')- When 10,000 people demonstrate in Da Nang, it is the equivalent of two million demonstrators marching down Fifth Avenue in New York. In the demonstrations springing up around the country against Premier Nguyen Cao Ky's military government, much less than one per cent of the population has been directly involved. Most of South Viet Nam's popu- lation lives indifferent to politics. Nevertheless, the tiny percent- age of South Vietnamese involved in the demonstrations is mislead- ing. Greater Power The demonstrators have power far greater than their numbers would suggest. Core Leaders Blamed for Demonstra tions A hard core of experienced poli- ticians and religious figures are behind the agitation. They helped to overthrow Piesident Ngo Dinh Diem, Gen. Nugyen Khanh and the other premiers. In one of the high positions on "the Council of Youth and Stu- dents to Safeguard the Nation" is the secretary of an extremist monk named Thich Thien Minh. 'Moderate' Wing Based in Saigon, Minh works1 out of the Buddhist Institute, be- lieved up to now to have been a "moderate" wing of the Buddhist hierarchy. But students from the institute have been in Saigon demonstrations recently. Thich Tam Chau, the leading monk at the institute, worked ac- tively to overthrow Diem. Joining' him in that struggle was Thich Tri Quang, a monk who is stage- managing the demonstrations cur- rently in Hue and Da Nang. Together, Tam Chau and Tri Quang represent all organized Buddhism in Viet Nam. Key Pagodas The Buddhists have several key pagodas in Saigon anid other large cities where hundreds of the faith- ful will gather at a moment's notice. And there are the numer-' ous Buddhist schools and colleges filled with students eager to obey the wishes of the monks. With these sources to draw from, the Buddhists are finding no difficulty in pulling crowds far larger than in the Buddhist dem- onstrations against Diem. A Buddhist Institute meeting early Saturday drew from 7,000 to 10,000 people. Handful Only Only a handful of these people participated in the demonstration later in the evening. There is no doubt that if the monks had pub- licly asked them to take to the streets, they would have done so. The anti-American aspect of the demonstrations seems to be more a convenient political rallying call than a deep-felt emotion, even though every Vietnamese has suf- fered real or imagined difficulties since U.S. troops arrived in large numbers. Taxis are harder to get, prices are higher. The American troops appear richer. Ky's hurried visit to Honolulu to meet with Presi- dent Johnson is a subject of ridi- cule at the demonstrations. Ky is called a lackey of the United States and much worse. Slogan Danger The danger o fthe anti-Ameri- can slogans painted on banners by demonstrators is that the war- weary Vietnamese may eventually start believing them. If that happens, then the over- throw of Ky, and the establish- ment of a civiliar government may not be enough. They may start agitating for the removal of U.S. personnel. The U.S. mission is watching the situation closely. As a result of the demonstrations, there have been two developments: -Tome Corcoran, first secre- tary of the U.S. Embassy in Sai- gon, was sent to Da Nang three days ago as senior officer in charge of the area. -Since the demonstrations be- gan three weeks ago, the city of Da Nang has been off limits to the 35,000 American servicemen in the immediate area. The U.S. consul has asked American to avoid crowds of any kind and on days of increased civil disturbances to try to remain away from areas of possible trouble. There is no hard evidence yet that the Communists are behind the demonstrations. but there are reports of documents instructing them to infiltrate the committee and get their own slogans and banners involved in an anti- American drive to push out U.S. troops. One word from Buddhist lead- ers, mainly the militant Thich Tri Quang and his group, probably could halt the demonstrations. The Buddhists do not have tight dis- ciplinary control, but they are the motivating force. Demonstrations are likely to continue for some time unless one of two things occur, in the opinion of highly informed sources. One would be an accommoda- tion by the Saigon military gov- ernment to the Buddhists on their so-called four-point program. Second. the Buddhists might be able to sort out their own feelings and decide they can accept the speedup of the election of a Na- tional Assembly and a civilian government. These are the key demands of the Buddhists. The only real issue, it is said, is the timing. The current situation, which be- gan March 10 with the ouster of Lt. Gen. Nguyen Chanh Thi, com- mander of the 1st Army Corps, now is considered virtually un- predictable in the eyes of most quarters. Report Iii.-Nor .S To Add 170 000 z New Troops Military Planners Believe Reserves Will Not Be Called By The Associated Press SAIGON - A well - informed source said yesterday North Viet- namese troops are streaming into northern South Viet Nam in num- bers approaching an invasion. Meanwhile, Defense Dewartment' planners in Washington have re- vealed that the U.S. plans to put about 170,000 more troops into Viet Nam to match an expected Com- munist buildup. Military planners believe the troop increase can be accomplish- ed without calling up the reserves or going beyond current budget allocations for the war effort.

U.S. officials told reporters last week "it was not correct" to say the U.S. was preparing to put fewer men into the Viet Nam war than it put into the Korean War. They chose this way to suggest that the extra forces would be sent as needed. The United States now has about 300,000 men in Southeast Asia, with 230,000 in South Viet Nam itself and 70,000 in support positions on Guam, Ok- inawa and other surrounding mil- itary bases. la jor Viet Increase Infiltration NEW FOREIGN POLICY: Indonesia Will Return to UN, Improve Relations with U.S. th 3! I t Rusk BriefsI Senators on Viet Situation Predicts Generals Will Continue Even If Ky Overthrown WASHINGTON () - Secretary of State Dean Rusk said yester- day internal strife in South Viet Nam stems in part from the ef- forts of contending groups to carve themselves guaranteed roles in a future civilian government. Rusk briefed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in closed session. Afterward, two senators reported he had said the ruling council of generals would continuej in power even if the current gov- ernment of Nguyen Cao Ky shouldl fall. JAKARTA OP) - Two cabinet members said yesterday that In- donesia, a virtual international outcast, hopes to return to the so- ciety of nations. Foreign Minister Adam Malik declared Indonesia plans to re- turn to the United Nations,' and will try to improve relations with the United States. The economic affairs minister Sultan Hamengku Buwono, said Indonesia will seek foreign aid from other countries "without po- litical strings." Gen. Suharto, the new strong man. was charting a new foreign poli- cy course. Malik told a news conference that improved foreign relations are imperative because of the near-bankrupt economy.

He stressed that Indonesia, the of increasingly close ties with Communist China pursued by Su- karno and Subandrio. In reply to a question, Malik said there would be no change in Jakarta's relations with Red China but "if Peking is not satisfied with our new policy, it is, of course, not our business." In saying Indonesia would "do its level best to strike a balance in its relations with the outside world," Malik was supported by Buwono.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7 LA PAZ, Bolivia-A series of shooting incidents and a bomb- ing in Bolivia heightened fears yesterday that Bolivia's presiden- tial election campaign may be a violent affair. One person was killed in the incidents that began Friday when shooting broke out at a political rally in Santa Cruz, 600 miles southeast of La Paz. oPlitical ex- tremists were blamed for a bomb- ing in Cochabama, 360 miles south of La Paz, and the fatal shoot- ing of a farm worker.' The long delayed elections are scheduled July 3 but so far no candidates have declared. GENEVA (P)-The United States made public yesterday details of a cheat-proof plan to guarantee a treaty banning underground nu- clear tests. Chief U.S. delegate Adrian S. Fisher told the 17-nation disarma- ment conference that America has evolved a detection system for on- site inspections which would make it virtually impossible for any country to conduct a secret un- derground nuclear explosion. The system involves analysis of fission-product gases which slow- ly leak to the surface after such an explosion. Fisher claimed such gases could only result from a nuclear explosion and analysis on the surface would soon show whether the country concerned had cheated. This would make it impossible for a country to get away with secret tests by thoroughly clean- ing up the surface of the explo- sion area to deceive on-site inspec- tors. )W OP)-The Soviet Un- med yesterday it had put satellite in orbit around , that it was completing very three hours and said up a new page in the In of the moon." viet news agency, Tass, a 10 consists of an air- ntainer carrying radio it, a telemetric system, t for the exploration of and nearby space, a sys- eat regulation and pow- and small jet engines e it in flight.

Western astron- omers speculated that it would or-; bit the moon indefinitely.r Soviet news media, without say- ing exactly why, compared the importance of Luna 10 to that of Luna 2, which became the first manmade object to hit the moon, in September, 1959. Luna 10 was reported sending back to earth data on the moon's surface and near-lunar space. But there were no claims that it was sending pictures of the moon's sur- face. The U.S. moon program calls' for a satellite this summer to pho- tograph the moon from an orbit as near as 28 miles from the sur- face in order to help map a land- ing spot for a manned vehicle. U.S. Plans The United States plans to land men on the moon from an orbit- ing vehicle, after first orbiting the moon with unmanned satellites. The Soviet Union has not said how it plans to land on the moon. Luna 10, launched last Thurs- day, actually left two objects or- biting the moon. One was the sci- entific instrument package itself.; The other was the rocket that first placed it into lunar orbit and then separated. G GENERAL STAFF MEETING Wednesday, April 6, 7:30 Student Publications Building Vladimir Siforov, a Soviet com- munications specialist, told Tass that Luna 10 will make it pos- sible "to decipher many myster- ious phenomena on the moon" and called the achievement "a major step toward further con- quest of outer space."
