Abstract:
The military leadership in Saigon is reportedly planning a number of early changes in both the cabinet and key military positions in the interest of greater efficiency and, allegedly, in response to criticisms raised at the recent congress of military officers. A large but orderly Buddhist demonstration in northernmost Quang Tri Province protesting alleged discrimination, and the appearance in Hue of a student "struggle" newspaper with neutralist and anti-American overtones, suggest that the government may be facing renewed problems with militant Buddhists and student circles. Following the Viet Cong Liberation Front Radio's announcement this week that two American military prisoners had been executed in retaliation for death sentences carried out against three Viet Cong agitators in Da Nang, Premier Ky publicly affirmed that his government would continue its policy of executing convicted Viet Cong agents.
