Dinh Diem." That changed after the pagoda raids of Aug. 21 and Henry Cabot Lodge took over as the American ambassador to Saigon. In ~ ~ the 10 weeks that preceded the outbreak of a Vietnamese military HOUSE REPUBLICANS: -Associated Press PALACE BURNS AFTER BOMBING-Troops and tanks moved into place before the presidential palace in South Viet Nam in February 1962 after fighter bombers rocked and strafed the building in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem.' Viet Government To ples; Diem, Brother Surrender (Continued from Page 1) The end of power came for South Viet Nam's autocratic rul- ing family after a day and night siege of the 'stucco presidential palace in downtown Saigon, cli- maxed by a 90-minute dawn at- tack by tanks and artillery. Gen. Duong Van Minh-a Bud- dhist long at odds with the Ro- man Catholic Diem-led the viol- ent coup which Americans in Sai- gon said took a heavy toll of Viet- namese lives. . Named as provisional prime minister was a civilian, former Vice-Uresident Nguyen Ngoc Tho, who has been leading the govern- ment's campaign to conciliate en- raged Buddhists, Unpopularity at Home, Abroad Much of the Ngo Dinh family's unpopularity at home and abroad has stemmed from its treatment of Vietnamese Buddhists, and this conflict had embittered relations with the United States. United States officials took the view that the coup was engineered by military men primarily inter- ested in stepping up the campaign against Communist Viet Cong1 guerrillas. Their first tentative analyses at-] tached less attention to' the con- flicts with Buddhists, who claimed Diem's regime persecuted them and with students, hundreds of] whom were jailed. U.S. Pressure The United States put pressure o on Diem for reforms in order to9 broaden popular support for anti- Communist measures, but denied any connection with the coup. United States Ambassador Hen- U y Cabot Lodge had called on Diem Friday morning. Americans in Saigon said they believed the insurgents were fully in control of the city and airport as of 5:45 p.m. Friday. Attack on Palace Telephone reports from Saigon said rebel forces, whose numbers could not be estimated immediate- ly, attacked the palace Friday night and found a fierce battle with Diem's palace guards and 2,- 000-man special forces. The rebels then held off for about five hours, apparently to give Diem a chance to give up, an American in Saigon said. When Diem demurred, the in- formant said, the insurgents re- grouped and mounted a final, all- out assaudt, starting with an artil- lery and mortar barrage against Diem's palace. Rockets, Planes in City A spokesman said that while ar- tillery and mortars were levelling the palace, fighter planes zoomed low over the city firing rockets. The rockets apparently missed the palace. Although Nguyen Ngoc Tho, a Buddhist, had been named prime minister, the government actually. was being run by a council of gen- erals who led the revolt, an Amer- ican spokesman said. uprising against Diem yesterday,' Lodge channeled relations of the United States with its often dif- ficult Southeast Asian ally to a firm, cool level. Complications American officialdom saw the tactics of President Diem and his family against Buddhist and stu- dent opposition movements as complicating the United States- backed war against Communist guerrillas. It hinted, without success, that Diem's brother-advisor, Ngo Dinh Nhu, 52, and Nhu's petite, sharp- spoken wife, 38, the bachelor pres- ident's official hostess and first lady, should quit the government. Three times the United States tightened economic screws on Diem's regime, which it has back- ed with 16,500 military men and aid of about $500 million a year. American Tactics The austere autocrat, :South Viet Nam's first and only presi- dent, reacted with bitterness as President John F. Kennedy's ad- ministration, seeking to force him to make peace with his Buddhist critics and bid for greater popu- lar backing: -Cut a commercial import pro- gram which generated more than I$100 million a year in Vietnamese currency for Saigon's defense bud- get. -Halted shipments of surplus food which formed a $25 million contribution to the South Viet- namese economy. Held Up -Announced the $3 million an- nual appropriation for premium pay to the Vietnamese special forces, an elite military command, would be held up until those troops were transferred from po- lice work in Saigon to combat Iduty in the field. Diem's regime opened an anti- American propaganda campaign. It leaked stories that it might make peace with Communist North Viet Nam, a supply base and recruiting center for the Red battalions, rather than submit to United States pressure. Diem's Reply The 5-feet-4 chief executive, looking younger than his 62 years, had a stock reply for those who questioned the way he ran this largely Buddhist nation of nearly 15 million: "I know my people." The son of a noble Mandarin family who once considered be- coming a Roman Catholic priest, Diem had held the government reins since June 1954-first as premier under playboy Emperor Bao Dai andsince October 1955, as president.l 'Miracle Man' He was once called the miracle man of Southeast Asia. He quelled rebellious private armies of the Bao Dai and Hoa Hao sects in 1955 and put down an attempted coup by parachute troopers in 1960. He escaped sev- eral assassination attempts. In February 1962, two renegade Vietnamese air force pilots bomb- ed and heavily damaged the pres- idential palace. Diem escaped in-. jury. Engineered Pagoda Raids His brother, Nhu, a hollow- . cheeked, smiling scholar, has beenE widely regarded as the engineer. of the pagoda raids which launch- ed a roundup of Buddhist monksc and dissident students. A tough man behind the scenes, Nhu denied acting on his own. He said Diem called all the shots. He headed the secret police along with his role as presidential ad- viser. His philosophy about hand- ling a coup: "You smash it like an egg be- fore it is hatched, or you join it and exploit it." Considers Americans Naive Nhu said he admired American industrial and mechanical achieve- ments, but considered American naive in dealing with Asians. Vio- lently anti-Communist, he saw merit in some aspects of Com- munist operations. To many abroad, Nhu and his wife have symbolized the govern- ment's stand in the political- religious crisis set off last spring by a Buddhist cry of persecution. They, like Diem, have denied the charge. Asks Corps, For Detroit DETROIT-A Detroit Service Corps of college students to work in neighborhood conservation and for volunteer social and service agencies was called for yesterday by Mayor Jerome Cavanagh.. 1 The Detroit News reported that the mayor had proposed the idea in a speech Thursday night. He said the local program should not wait for President John F. Ken- nedy's Domestic Peace Corps bill, now in trouble in Congress. Cavanagh said his program would benefit the community as well as provide training for col- lege students. He said that it would include some of the chores that the President outlined in his own proposal. They include: Outlines Duties 1) Working with church groups and ministers to provide assistance in setting up programs for chil- dren, youth and senior citizens and other similar projects. 2) Helping with the "meals on wheels" program of taking food to shut-ins, and helping in cen- ters serving senior citizens. 3) Working in the neighborhood conservation centers, in voluntary agencies, in hospitals and nursing homes, in special programs for elementary and secondary schools as tutors for those who are be- hind but intelligent enough to suc- ceed. Youth Guidance 4) Working with staff members of the Commission of Children and Youth in special programs for youngsters who need guidance in getting and keeping jobs. "All of these activities, would parallel the existing programs that we and voluntary agencies have been working on for some time," Cavanagh said. r Halleck' By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-Minority Lead- er Charles A. Halleck's role in helping draft a compromise civil rights bill has arounsed resent- ment among a sizable group of House Republicans. The dissatisfaction not only throws into doubt the kind of support the Republicans will give the bill, it might threaten Hal- leck's job of House GOP leader unless steps are taken to counter the resentment. A group of 69 members-40 per cent of the GOP membership- attended a hastily called meeting Thursday that bore all the signs of a brewing revolt on the part of conservatives. The meeting wasn't planned un- til Wednesday night and of 70 invited, all but one reportedly showed up at 9 a.m. Thursday at a hotel near the capitol. "We could have gotten a lot more if we had had time," said one of the organizers, who asked not to be named. He said another meeting is be- ing planned for the near future. Another participant said the meeting was designed to "open lines of communication" between Halleck and the rank and file party members, and it is certain Halleck got the message. When the Indianan was instal- led as GOP leader in a sudden coup against Rep. Joseph W. Mar- tin of Massachusetts five years ago, the complaint was the same -that communications had brok- en down between the former party leader and the troops. At that time, Martin was not only party leader but chairman of ge Wit Ith Nearly Ski Time!l Unlike our friend, we have nothing missing ... when it comes to ski equipment.

When Halleck took over, the two jobs were split. Ever since, the leader has been specifically charged with getting policy committee clearance before committing the part; to anything. The chief complaint now is that Halleck not only endorsed a civil rights bill that goes further than many Republicans like, but that he did it without consulting the policy committee. 5s Civil Rights Role Rouses Ire ww" HOMECOMING EVENTS a~t THE MICHIGAN JNION 4-6 P.M.

NATURE OF SCRIPTURES DISCUSSED BY NORTHSIDE PRES In order to maintain its identity as the community of the redeemed, t h e Church needs an objective link between its contemporary self and, the original Church. This link is provided in the Scriptures, which are the Divine witness to the origin and development of the Church. These docu- ments were inspired by the Holy Spirit during the period of the early development of the Church, and bear witness to God's communcative acts, and to the conditions under which they were given. Thus, thel Scriptures are the Church's source of understanding the basic theological scene as it prepares for worship. The Scriptures also provide the Church with insights into God's perspectives. They further in- dicate the direction the Church may take in fulfilling its mis- sion and preserving its identity. Is the Bible the verbally-in- spired Word of God? Can the Church conceive of its Scrip- tures in other terms? How are the Scriptures to be employed by the Church?
