U.S. Support Given Viet Nam Army
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
Next to troubled Laos lies the Republic of Viet Nam, about twice the size of Maine, and second only to South Korea as the recipient of U.S. aid.
The United States trains and pays South Viet Nam's 150,000-man army.
Exclusive of military aid, the United States has poured nearly a billion and a half dollars into the country since 1955 in an attempt to bolster its economy and stability.
YET WITH all this there is mounting concern that in South Viet Nam the United States may well face the same situation that it presently does in Laos.
Aided by geography and increasing unrest among South Viet Nam's 10 million people, communists have been on the offensive there for more than a year.
Last week, as Viet Nam prepared for the national elections which returned President Ngo Dinh Diem to office, they carried that offensive into Saigon itself, aimed especially against Americans.
A U.S. aid administrator was injured by a bomb tossed into his home.
AN AMERICAN army sergeant was injured by another bomb exploded near a hotel housing U.S. military advisers.
Last November a U.S. public safety adviser and his driver were killed in a daylight ambush outside the seaside resort of Long Hai.
Each month from 250 to 300 government officials are murdered by Communist guerrillas.
The guerrillas operate under orders from Red China and Communist North Viet Nam. Supplies reach them through a series of guerrilla posts running down the mountainous spine from North Viet Nam along the border of South Viet Nam and Laos. These posts in turn support guerrilla nests along the border with Cambodia and in the Mekong River delta.
So far, there is no centrally organized Communist Army such as the Pathet Lao in Laos.
POLITICAL UNREST centers primarily on complaints against the iron-fisted rule of Ngo Dinh Diem.
Diem insists that his country, with its ancient imperial tradition and long experience with colonialism, is not yet ready for democracy as it is known in the West.
He has limited authority to himself and members of his family, and a puppet parliament faithfully carries out his orders.
LAST YEAR, an attempted military coup against the government failed. The United States expressed satisfaction that the coup failed, but nonetheless was accused by government officials of helping to stir up the unrest.
Leaders of the coup professed to be as anti-Communist as Diem himself but accused him of autocratic rule and nepotism and said he had "shown himself incapable of saving the country and protecting national unity."

KANU Again Broadcasts
KANU, the University's FM radio station, is on the air again displaying a higher radio tower and 65,000 more watts as part of a variety of improvements over the old KANU.
KANU began broadcasting on Sept. 15, 1952, and was the first high-powered educational station in the United States to program both daily chamber music and daily jazz music.
The station was forced to discontinue broadcasting last Aug. 17 when the old 500 foot radio tower of 35,000 watts was blown down in a severe windstorm.
The station will broadcast from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1-11 p.m. on Sunday.
A 600 foot tower with a new antenna has been erected, giving KANU 100,000 watts and making it the most powerful FM radio station in Kansas. It is one of the top five non-commercial radio stations in power in the United States.
KANU operates on 91.5 megacycles.
