from family dictatorship to military junta has been immediate smooth and relatively bloodless Army units were back fighting the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas within hours after the Saigon government was overturned Civil administration has been almost undisturbed with few exceptions the same faces were in the same government offices Monday morning The big change Is that the tion is now ruled by a tee instead of a family But there Is no guarantee this committee will work And in the absence of an established political leader in the group some observers feel the generals may eventually fall to wrangling Despite the naming of ans to a provisional ment the generals will continue to hold the real power for a long time according to present indications One on the junta said Wednesday he thought It might be 6 to 12 months before a an government with full power could be elected This leaves a lot of time for political juggling or even a The provisional government is not made up of strong cal personalities Nguyen Ngoc Tho the premier has been a career bureaucrat since 1930 Although he was President Ngo Din Diem's vice president he never has exercised any real authority All national policies for time being will be made by the military revolutionary tee of generals headed by Maj Gen Duong Van Minn Minn 47 while highly re- spected is difficult to identify as a national leader In his own words he is a soldier not a politician The junta unquestionably will fight hard to crush the nist guerrillas they have been fighting the past four years And the generals will continue to be good friends of the United States But their problems are sive They still must face huge deficit spending and a economy even with massive U.S aid The Viet Cong has by no means tossed in the towel The junta will have to do some unpopular things the sting of which will be noticeable after the honeymoon of freedom from the Ngo family is over Someone must take a strong stand here before long because
