Saigon Turmoil as Buddhist Demonstrators Press Anti-Govt Push
Government rangers and marines fired tracer bullets over monks and students in Saigon to break a 15 hour protest. Premier Ky met rival Thi at Chu Lai and said Thi is not against him while the U S began evacuating civilians from Hue. Riot police battled Buddhists as crowds burned Ky in effigy and waves of tear gas failed to halt the march. Police used fear tactics seen in Harlem riots to disperse the crowds and protect the U S embassy as monks and youths protested across Saigon and Hue.
