Viet Bloc Pushes Open Election for Communists in South Vietnam
A Saigon bloc of anti Communist officials aims to amend the constitution to allow Viet Cong and Communist candidates to run. They seek Thieu's support for a fair open election plan to defeat Communists at the polls and push for recognition in Paris as part of a peace package. They require Communist disbanding of armed forces before any recognition. The drive, timed for August October elections, hinges on Thieu's likely re election and leverages growing political strength.
