U S Officials Displeased by Viet Nam Military Purge
In Saigon the weekend purge by young Vietnamese generals dissolved the High National Council and arrested most of its members plus 20 other politicians. U.S. officials condemned the move as rebellious against the civilian government while Premier Tran Van Huong and Chief of State Phan Khac Suu remained nominally in power. Brig. Gen. Nguyen Chanh Thi led the junta with Ky, Khang, and Thieu backing the action, as about 70 staff officers were detained north of Saigon. Pressure from Buddhists eased briefly as the purge unfolded amid accusations of counterrevolutionary influence and a push to retire older officials.
