The warlords, who buried their differences three weeks ago and last week presented an ultimatum to the American-backed Diem gov- ernment here, announced they were ready to help form a new cabinet themselves. They said earlier that they had cabled to Bao Dai, South Viet Nam head of state now on the French Riviera, asking for his interven- tion. All eight ministers represent- ing the Cao Dai, Hoa Hao and Binh Xuyen private armies in Diem's cabinet have resigned, they pointed out. Meanwhile government troops reinforced the central police head- quarters in the tense capital and | machine-guns were set up at all| strategic points. i CONVOYS DELAYED Food convoys due to arrive in the city from the west and south at dawn this morning had not ar- rived by noon. The warlords had warned the Saigon population by {radio Monday to get in stocks of food and water.

A five-day ulfimatum by the war- lords to Diem, demanding sweep- ing government reforms, expired Saturday.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers (CIO) says the un- employment picture in'Canada has been "deliberately confused' two sets of "official"' government figures. He also says, in his president's report to the UAW convention here, that the Canadian government has refused to recognize the serious- ness of the unemployment prop- lem. Reuther says one set of figures is prepared by the National Em- ployment Service, and "as far as possible represent an actual count of people without jobs and seeking work." The secand 'set is prepared by the Dominion bureau of statistics and "is consistently much lower than the NES figures." LABOR CRITICAL On the basis of both sets of fig- ures, he Says, "'unemployment in every month since August, 1953, has been worse than in the same month of the previbus year."
