Buddhist Monks Declare War on South Vietnamese Army
In Saigon, South Viet Nam, Buddhist leaders denounced the anti Communist army as power hungry. They withdrew from unity talks and 9 chaplains joined five fasting monks at the national Buddhist center. The military governor warned of a curfew to curb riots. U S Ambassador Maxwell D Taylor met with two of the monks in hopes of moderating opposition to Prime Minister Tran Van Huong. The hunger strike began after a protest march led to tear gas and arrests, including a military deserter seen egging on youths.
