Power Structure Unchanged By Viet Nam Crisis
Saigon Aug 27 and Washington Aug 27 AP reports say despite weeks of seizures and repressive moves by Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Nhu, the core power remains with Gia Long Palace leaders and the army. U.S. officials credit the palace with control while analysts discuss whether Diem ceded power to Nhu, or both act in concert. Prices rose in July, with living costs up due to food and gasoline while the government asserts American aid will keep Vietnam in the war against the Viet Cong.
