Mme. Nhu Blasts US; Cites Liberal Trend
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Mme. Ngo Dinh Nhu, defending the policies of her family in South Viet Nam, has charged that the Kennedy administration apparently "is following the new fashion of liberalism which is much closer to communism than we are."
Mme. Nhu, speaking in a television interview (Meet The Press, NBC) yesterday, said she was led to this conclusion by recent trends in United States policies in her troubled country.
IN FACT, she blamed the present tension between the regime of her brother-in-law, Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem, and the U.S. government on the fact that "we are more strongly anti-communist than you are."
Mme. Nhu, 38, began the second week of her U.S. lecture tour today with three scheduled appearances. She is to have lunch at the New York Times, and later fly to Boston for talks at Radcliffe College and Harvard University in Cambridge.
Trans Van Chuong Will Speak at KU
Trans Van Chuong, father of South Vietnamese first lady Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu, will speak Nov. 11 at KU. Chuong is a strong critic of the Diem regime.
A member of Madame Nhu's staff in New York Friday rejected a joint All Student Council (ASC)-Student Union Activities (SUA) invitation to speak here.
Chuong, like Madame Nhu, is on a speaking tour in the United States. He says that he is trying to counteract the publicity given Madame Nhu's views on the Vietnamese situation.
CHUONG RESIGNED as ambassador to the United States from South Viet Nam in August, presumably in protest against Diem policy toward Buddhists. Madame Nhu and the Diem family are Roman Catholics. Chuong is a Buddhist.
The Wide World Lecture Bureau is charting Chuong's speaking tour. Its midwest representative, Mrs. Ardon Cornwell of Kansas City, called John Stuckey, ASC president, last Friday.

During the TV interview, she accused U.S. government agents of making "unofficial" requests to Diem that she be exiled from South Viet Nam. She stressed the fact that they were "unofficial" and was vague about how the alleged requests were relayed to Diem's government.
Monday, Oct. 14, 1963
MME. NIU, in commenting about the religious crisis in her country claimed that contrary to widespread belief Confucianism, not Buddhism is the major faith in South Viet Nam
Buddhist leaders have charged that Diem's family, which is Roman Catholic, discriminates against them. Several Buddhist priests have burned themselves to death in protest.
She said that during her forthcoming trip to Washington she did not plan to see President Kennedy, though it should not be assumed she was "bovocoting" him.
The ambassador, who will leave soon on a nation-wide speaking tour, disagreed with critics who have charged U.S. correspondents with reporting a one-sided picture of the situation in his country.
THE ADMINISTRATION has maintained an official silence about her U.S. visit, which began last Monday night and was scheduled to end in California later this month.
Tran Van Chuong, former South Vietnamese Ambassador to the United States, said in a television interview (Face the Nation) he sees no possibility of victory in the war with the Communists in his country until the Diem regime is overthrown.
"I want to be on record," he said, "that there is no possibility at all of victory against the Communists under the present regime in South Viet Nam."
He said the Diem government must be "changed completely" because it has become "the greatest asset of the Communists."
CHUONG, FATHER of Mme, Dinh Nhu, resigned his post over differences with the policies of President Ngo Dinh Diem.
"I can say that the reporters on a whole have done a very good job of reporting under such circumstances." he said. "I am absolutely sure that the picture is a little darker—little darker is an understatement—is much darker than they could have seen."
UP To Hold Interviews For ASC Candidates
University Party's Campus Council will interview prospective candidates for the All Student Council from 2 until 5 p.m. next Sunday.
The Campus Council, meeting yesterday afternoon, also said that the party's platform for the Nov. 13-14 living district election will be released by Oct.25.
Forum Speaker Explains Council
Changes that could come from the current Ecumenical Council were discussed last night by the Rev. Columban Clinch at a Newman Club Forum.
Father Columban, a KU graduate and currently a teacher at St. Benedict's College in Atchison, gave a brief history of the Ecumenical Council of Nicea to the 21st council opened by Pope John XXIII in October 1963.
Those church officials who are entitled to attend a council are cardinals, patriarchs, primates, archbishops, abbots and bishops, he said.
THE PONTIFF presides over the Council and has the privileges of dissolving the Council at any time.
The decrees of the Council are binding on all Christians but must first be ratified by the Pope before they go into effect, he said.
The universality of the Church was discussed when the floor was opened for discussion. Changing the Mass to the vernacular was one of the proposals. This would mean that the Mass would be given in the language of the country where it is spoken.
POPE PAUL VI has initiated a program of sharing some of the jurisdiction of his office with other members of the church.
Father Columban approved the change to the vernacular because it would further understanding of the Mass by the people.
Father Columban said that the Vatican Council has a duty to promote unity and a closer understanding among all Christians.
Weather
It will be mostly fair today with highs in the upper 80s turning partly cloudy and cooler tonight and Tuesday. Lows tonight are expected to be in the upper 40s to mid 50s.

Milling crowds, shot glasses in hand and signs around their necks, shifted from one booth, laughing and playing the games.
Catsup-splattered Phi Kappa Paus on stretches advertised their booth, the parody on the "Ben Casey" television show. A surgeon accompanied the screaming patient, equipped with a fake scalpel.
SIGNS ADVERTISING the booths lined the stairway walls up to the Union Ballroom, where most of the booths were set up. A few of the skits were presented in the Union cafeteria.
This year's "TV Jeebees" main-
ta.ns a 43-year-old tradition of Student Union Activities carnivals. The first carnival was in Robinson Gymnasium in 1920 with the theme of patriotism. The country was then in the midst of the loyalty movement. The booths and skits drew a crowd of about 1,500 persons.
THE CARNIVAL has been shifted from building to building throughout the years. In 1930 it was moved from Robinson to the Union. In 1931 the booths were in Memorial Stadium and the skits were performed in Fraser.
An intramural tourney was combined with booths and skits in the stadium in 1935. After 1935, the carnival was discontinued until 1940 when the the SUA and YWCA joined forces and presented it in Hoch auditorium.
In 1944, the carnival was moved to the Military Science Building where it stayed until 1953 when SUA moved the carnival to the Union.
