Vietnamese Buddhists Bury Flaming Revolt SAIGON (AP) -- A stream of traffic rumbles over a patch of asphalt where a Buddhist monk set fire to his gasoline - soaked nine months ago, catapulting Viet Nam's Buddhist crisis into world attention. The fiery suicides of Thich Quang Duc and the five monks] and one nun who followed his example sparked a national cri- sis that led to a coup d'etat. U.S. policy in this strife-torn nation was rocked to the core. Highly-informed diplomats said Thich Quang Duc's: suicide was a major deciding factor in Pres- ident Kennedy's decision to send Henry Cabot Lodge here as am- bassador last August. Huge demonstrations of Budd- hists were smashed by club- wielding special police in. Ngo Dinh Diem's desperate bid to suppress revolt. Not so much as a plaque is Duc burned to death June 11, but the old monk's heart is a relie for veneration at Xa Loi , the city's main Budd- t centre.

Hat- reds aroused in the last six months of the Diem regime seem almost forgotten. "We believe South Viet Nam's revolutionary government sup- ports coniplete religious equal- ity, and Buddhists are well sat- isfied," says a leading Buddhist spokesman. He is Thich Duc Nghiep, one of the leaders of the Buddhist revolt who were jailed in Diem's pagoda raids Aug. 21. Many Roman Catholics feared reprisals after the military coup 5 erated during the Diem regime.) Diem was a Catholic.
