End to Huong Regime
--Associated Press
BUDDHISTS SURGED THROUGH groups of seated Buddhist
monk demonstrators in Saigon yesterday as tear gas exploded
about them during protests against the government of Premier
Tran Van Huong. Paratroopers smashed through the mob with
billy clubs and tear gas.
FALSE CRISIS':
Soviets Attack U.S.
Sone Fight
UNITED NATIONS ({P-The Soviet Union accused the United
States yesterday of trying to paralyze the activities of the United
Nations by creating an artificial crisis over peacekeeping assessments
owed by the Russians and a dozen other nationis.
In a statement to the press the Soviet Union delegation declared,
that the U.S. position was the only stumbling block preventing the
General Assembly from returning to normal voting procedures.
The statement said the Soviet Union would make a substantial
voluntary contribution to ease the UN's financial plight-but that
the amrount was Moscow's own business, and would be disclosed
" only after normal voting pro-

Embassy Denies Riot
Was Anti-American
SAIGON MA)-Buddhist rioters
attacked the United States Infor-
mation service library and bat-
tled security forces throughout
Saigon yesterday in an effort to
unseat South Viet Nam Premier
Tran Van Huong. Skirmishes per-
sisted into the night..
The disorders, touched off by a
rally of about 450 yellow-robed
monks and nuns in front of the
U.S. Embassy, had openly anti-
American overtones.
Some banners curiously parallel,
ed the Viet Cong propaganda line.
Communist Slogan
One, though looking innocent,
was identical to a slogan of the
Communist guerrillas: "We de-
sire democracy, freedom and peace
for the Vietnamese people."
Monks and nuns carried these
and other banners in a 10-block
march through Saigon to the U.S.
Embassy in defiance of govern-
ment orders against street dem-
onstrations.
Vietnamese paratroopers guard-
ing the embassy permitted a five-
man delegation to deliver to the
door a petition for U.S. Ambassa-
dor Maxwell D. Taylor. They de-
manded an end to American sup-
port for Huong's regime, which
the Buddhists charge is oppressive.
Attack Police
Trouble boiled up two blocks
away. A wave of yelling Buddhist
youths attacked and stoned cor-
dons of combat police. Dispersed
with tear gas and clubs, the youths
reassembled and marched on the
U.S. Information Service library
-four blocks from the embassy.
They smashed library doors and
windows.
Use Tear Gas'
Paratroopers finally donned gas
masks and broke the demonstra-
tion up with tear gas and clubs.
Several dozen demonstrators were
injured.
Fifty-five Buddhists and 20
monks were arrested in the ini-
tial clashes. Police charged some
of the monks were draft dodgers.
Not Anti-American
A U.S. Embassy spokesman said
he did not regard the vandalism
at the USIS library as an anti-
American act, adding:
"In any case it does not reflect
the feeling of the majority of the
Vietnamese people."
Even so, the number of rioters
did not seem to be great. Perhaps
fewer than 2000 persons made up
the hard core.
The demonstration apparently
was organized by the Young Bud-
dhist Monks and Nuns Associa-
tion for the Defense of Buddhism,
headed by a monk named Thich
Thanh Nhan. None of the rank-
ing leaders of the Vietnamese
Buddhist movement was present.

Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON-As of now, the
House would pass some version of
President Lyndon B. Johnson's
egislation for health care of the
aged, an Associated Press poll
hows.
The Senate passed the bill last
'ear and Democrats have increas-
d their strength there. And the
party widened its House majority
ven more, so it appears that a
[ecade of controversy will end in
victory for the proponents of
health benefits administered un-
er the social security system and
inanced by payroll taxes.
The Ways and Means Commit-
'e will decide the exact provi-
ions of the bill sent to the House.
Poll Legislators
Associated Press reporters reach-
d 396 of the 435 House members
with questions about health-care
egislation.
Of these, 175 said unequivocally
[hey are for the administration
egislation, and 25 more said they
re inclined to vote for it. Per-
haps more significantly, only 21
ecorded themselves as opposed to,
ny further government action in
his field.
Reactions of the remainder var-
ed, but the biggest bloc--115--
aid they want enactment of some
lan for health benefits for the
ged, other than the Johnson plan.
Some Undecided
Twenty - nine representatives
aid they are wholly undecided,
ix said they are uncommitted,
ut inclined to vote against the
dministration bill and 25 refused
o state their positions.
The members definitely or prob-,
bly for the administration pro-
osal total 200, which is only 18
otes less than 4n absolute ma-
ority of the House. There seems
io reason to doubt the proposal
'ill pick up that number from
mong the 93 unaccounted for be-
ause members could not be
eached, refused to reply or said
hey had not made up their minds
Moreover, some of the 115 who
refer other plans may vote in a
howdown for the administration
roposal rather than nothing.;
The administration program
calls for hospital and some lim-
ited home health services to those
over 65, administered through the
social security system but sep-
arately financed. Additional pay-
roll tax and some general Treas-
ury contribution for persons al-
ready 65 and not under social so.
'urity would be used. There would
be no Income or property test for
qualification.
These general principles are ex-
pected to survive the committee's
rewriting of the legislation dur-
ing the next few weeks.
The major alternative plans
so far brought forward avoid pay-
roll-tax financing and set some
means qualifications.
Alternative Plans
Those most often mentioned by
representatives polled are a bill in-
troduced by Rep. Frank T. Bow
(R-Ohio), a plan suggested by the
American Medical Association and
expansion of the existing legisla-
tion for state-federal health serv-
Ives for low - income persons,
known as the Kerr-Mills Act.
Moreover, Republican members
of the Ways and Means Commit-
tee have promised to bring up an
alternative of their own, still be-
ing worked on.
Both the Bow bill and the AMA
proposal contemplate the subsidiz-
ing of private health insurance for
elderly persons whose incomes fall
below specified levels.
Tax Credits
Bow would subsidize premiums
up to $150 annually by granting
tax credits, or, for persons who
do not pay that much tax, by
grants from the fegeral Treasury.
The AMA would establish a flex-
ible, state- administered system
using state and federal funds. The
insurance under either plan would
cover more than just hospital bills.
The Republican plan, not yet
disclosed, is believed likely also
to contemplate the use of private
insurance.
Existing System
The existing Kerr-Mills system,
not fully implemented in all states,
involves federal grants in aid for
states that set up health care pro-
grams for aged persons. Each state
sets its own standards of care
provided and financial +eligibility.
The eligibility requirement
not as stringent as those foi
sons receiving outright w
support.
There have been a numb
proposals for changing the
Mills system, especially by e
the eligibility standards so
permit qualification of mor
derly persons who have only
means but are above the pc
level.

TEHRAN--Iran's Premier Ali

redistribution of large estates and
extension of political rights to

Tuesday Confrontationi
The latest Soviet'blast at the
U.S. and criticism made Thursday
of Secretary-General U Thant in-
dicated that chances were de-
creasing for avoiding a U.S.-So-
viet confrontation in the Assem-
bly next Tuesday.
Alex Quaison-Sackey of Ghana,
the Assembly president, has said
he will call for election of com-
mittee chairmen and Assembly
vice-presidents at the conclusion
of general policy debate, expected
on Tuesday. Since its start on Dec.
1, the Assembly has been operat-
ing under a no-vote truce.
The U.S. has said that any re-
corded vote will call for appli-
cation of Article 19 of the UN
charter, which says that any mem-
ber two years in arrears on as-
sOssments shall lose its Assembly
vote.
Russian Debt
The Soviet Union is about $60
million in arrears, and would have
to pay $21.7 million to get off the
two year list.
In its Press statement the Soviet
delegation said that rumors al-
leging there are consultations on
the amount of the Soviet volun-
tary contribution "h a v e no
grounds whatever, and are an in-
vention from beginning to end.";
The Soviet Union agreed previ-
ausly to the Afro-Asian plan which
would waive applicability of Ar-
ticle 19 and continue normal As-
sembly business while results were
awaited to an appeal for volun-
tary contributions.
The U.S. turned down the plan.
A U.S. spokesman had no direct
comment on the latest Soviet
statement.
