* 16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, Mey 2, 1966 Some Worry, Many Pleased Saigon Survey Reveals In South Viet Nam there are the generals and the church ieaders aid a scai- tering of other influential people. Then there is the av- erage man or woman, who "-- never has access to a pub- lic - address system of newspaper columns or the radio, What do he and she think of the current govern- ment crisis? The Associated Press staff sought to find out. A dozen AP men inter- viewed more than 100 Viet- namese--from the northern area of Hue to Can Tho in the Mekong delta. SAIGON (AP) -- Some are worried, some are disen- chanted, many are pleased. A sampling of South Viet- namese opinion indicates the varied ways the peoples of this war - torn nation look upon the Buddhist hierarchy's efforts to wrest power from the central military govern- ment and place it in civilian hands. Interviews with more than 100 Vietnamese in various walks of life showed division into these classes of thought: --Those who are worried: The middle-class businessmen who see civil unrest and infla- tion as dangers to them; the huge civil service which sees another change of government as a threat to jobs; the bit- terly anti-Communist refugees from North Viet Nam, who reflect the militany's fear of an accommodation with the Viet Cong if a civilian govern- ment emerges. Those who are disen- chanted: Right - wing intel- lectuals and the professional class that supported the Budd- hist hierarchy in overthrowing Ngo Dinh Diem only to f nd they had backed a political force they could not control. Those who are pleased by the Buddhists' deliberate at- tempt to impose their will on the general government. These include people with real or imagined grievances against the military regime. Among them are some Ro- man Catholics, some mem- bers of the Cao Dai and Hoa Communist Hoa sects, and the Baha'i faith. --Tise who see an end te the war growing from a Budd- hist - dominated civilian gov- ernment. Among these are people in the cities who send sons into the army, fight the rising cost of living and re- sent Americans for living in lieves Ky is "'selling out to the a style they cannot afford. It must be emphasized that any sampling of opinion in South Viet Nam is restricted. About half the population is unreachable because it is in areas under Viet Cong influ- ence. It is also true that the farther people live from the main towns, which are under government control, the less they talk about war and poli- tics, If any common theme runs through the interviews among peasants and poorer citizens, it is that they don't seem to care how the war is brought to an end, as long as it ends SOME SUPPORT KY There are those who support the Nguyen Cao Ky govern- ment. Said a 20-year-old secre- tary in Da Nang, centre of the rebellion against the cen- tral government: "Premier Ky is not a per fect man, but he is anti-Com- munist. Our common enemy is the Viet Cong." A 37-year-old Roman Cath- olic priest at Da Nang agreed "Ky has some faults, but not enough to justify demonstra- tions. He should not be re placed now." In Saigon, a 25 - year - old English literature student, working for an American firm as a secretary, said 'Ky is not a very good politician, he lacks experience. But a mili- tary government is needed to beat the Viet Cong. Let him lead it." Then there are those against, y A retired civil servant in Saigon, age 66, who worked with the French and fled the Vietminh from Hanoi to Saigon in 1954, said Ky should resign. His com- ment: "It is legal to have a ci- Realtors Report Boom Vacation Property Sales TORONTO (CP)--Real estate dealers here report a boom in vacation property sales Most realtors say city resi- dents want a summer place within: 150 miles of Toronto. They also want their lot on a lake Vacant jake-front lots within that radius are rare and the Ontario department of lands and forests predicts within three years no Crown land will be available south of Parny Sound. Norman Gordon, head of the department's Crown land devel- opment, says the province sells 1,000 cottage sites a year at $500 to $525 for a lot 150 by 250 feet.| All no have water frontage but roads.

"Magic" Was Elusive On CBS Sunday Display of $1, 000 Rv CYNTHIA LOWRY 1 NEW YORK (AP) -- The| Magic of Broadcasting, a CBS special Sunday night, was about broadcasting but the "magic" was elusive It was a curious hodgepodge-- partly a rollcall of radio's early stars, partly a memoir of tele- vision's early days that included| a requiem for live television drama. But most of the pro- gram consisted of long se- quences which didn't fit at all into the context of the show. The program opened with bits| of old film showing Fannie) Brice, a youthful Rudy Vallee, | Al Jolson and others. Then,} jumping into liviry color, we saw Arthur.

Leonard is the producer of a number of hit tel evision shows and a big man in the industry but it is still not clear why this bit was included It showed him running from one to another of his shows, in each case discussing ways to punch} up comedy gags that misfired. | A jater sequence also was not} right for the program, It was made during a rehearsal of a Lucille Ball show, with Miss Ball explaining how hard it is to get a show to play the right way Mr. Gordon feels the Crown land is a bargain at roughly; $3.83 per foot of lake frontage. | Private cottage sites cost a lot) more. "Land prices for lake-front| lots north of the city have sky-| rocketed," says Ross O'Hagan,| manager of the summer prop- erties division of Keith Realtors "On Lake Simcoe, a foot of lake front costs from $75 to| $100," he said. "In the Muskoka} district the price is $60 to $70) a foot.' "Even on small lakes there! is nothing much under $20 a! foot." Mr, Gordon says cottage buy-| ers now are moving east be cause of the high prices in the| favored areas north of Toronto.| | club singer | cans go home, nists | want the Communists." | WAR HELPS RICH | American men seem nice, but | how the war must be won, be vilian government elected by the people.

A 26 - year - old fisherman near Da Nang observed: "I am happy with the people's struggle against the govern- ment." Another fisherman, living on a nearby sampan, had not even heard of the Ky government. "Leave me alone," he said. "I have a wife and six children to feed." There are those who oppose the Buddhists. WRONG NOW A Vien Hoa student com- mented: "The Buddhists were right about Diem, but wrong now. They have the right to express their view, but with constructive criticism, not de- structive actions.'* A 19 - year - old Roman Catholic girl studying at Sai- gon University: "'Why do the Buddhists demonstrate so much? It is just what the | Communists want." The Buddhists had many supporters "They love Viet Nam and | the people," said a 17-year- | old South Vietnamese | Women's Auxiliary Corps sol- dier in Nhatrang. "They want to throw all invaders from Viet Nam and bring peace." An official of the Baha'i faith: '"'The Buddhists know what 'religious persecution is in Viet Nam and so do we. A civilian government can help us all." A Catholic student in Sai- gon University: "We have no quarrel with the Buddhists. We, too, want a civilian gov- ernment. We know we can work with the Buddhists to create a new society." A South Vietnamese army lieutenant in Dalat: "Must the war go on and on? Maybe the Buddhist leadership can end it. IT will welcome it."' What about the Americans in Viet Nam? A 23-year-old Saigon night "If the Ameri- the Commu- come here.

She was new to the town, she added, and had got lost. She. eventually was forced to take a cab home. She denied drinking while she was out. She had had a drink before leaving the house, she said.
