Action To Oust Bao Dai Taken By Delegates
In Saigon on May 4 Premier Ngo Dinh Diem summoned the national assembly for a day early meeting to counter the revolutionary committee demanding Bao Dai's removal. Diem proposed a three point plan for the assembly to approve, including Bao Dai handing civil and military power to a national body with elections within four months and no premature premier changes. The revolutionary committee pressed for Bao Dai’s outright deposition and withdrawal of the French expeditionary corps. Fighting in Saigon reportedly ended with sporadic resistance near Binh Xuyen areas while disagreements over communists' influence and a republic in South Vietnam continued.
