VIET POT SIMMERS
Halt of riots urged
SAIGON—(UPI)—The nation's most militant Buddhist leader toured rebellious northern cities today urging a halt to anti-government demonstrations, so as not to upset plans for a civilian government "which cannot be controlled by Washington."
Thich Tri Quang charged the
United States is "opposed to the formation of a national assembly since they can monopolize and control the generals. . ."
He told rallies at Hue and Da Nang that continued agitation against the military government of Premier Nguyen Coa Ky might furnish it with an excuse for re-
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Nobody's taxes actually will be going up or down next month—it will only seem that way.
New tax system starts
For, beginning May 1, the nation's employers, acting at the direction of the government, will begin taking more money or less money out of your pay envelope.
IF YOU'RE EARNING less than those amounts, chances are that less money will be withheld for
taxes the first payday after April 30.
In general, you can expect more to be taken out if you're single and earning over $50 a week; ditto if you're a married man with two children earning more than $140.
Under the new system of payroll withholding, which is how wage-earners pay most of their federal income taxes, people will get onto more of a pay-as-you-go basis with the tax collector. Taxes withheld from paychecks will come closer to paying what people actually end up owing at the end of the year.
For most taxpayers, this will mean either smaller final payments or smaller refunds when taxes come due each spring. The government estimates that 21 million people will now come within $10 of their final tax bill.
neging on its promise of a civilian assembly within three to five months.
U.S. jets hit Viet missile site
SAIGON — (UPI) — U.S. Air Force forces struck closer to Hanoi than ever before and blasted Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles and sites in the suburbs of the Communist capital, a U.S. spokesman said today.
They swooped in low out of the sun and sent up huge billows of smoke and fire just 15 miles from the center of Hanoi.
OFFICIALS SAID two missile sites and a radar complex were
destroyed. A secondary explosion indicated several missiles also were destroyed.
All the planes returned safely.
In the planes returned safely, Chinese gunners who launched one of the surface-to-air (SAM) missiles from a second hidden site in a futile effort to bring down the attackers led to the second kill.
The closest previous raid to Hanoi was Nov. 7, 1965, when American planes struck 23 miles southwest of the city. The target then also was missile sites.
QUANG IS THE spiritual leader of the Unified Buddhist Church and is considered to be its most powerful and fiery leader. His remarks were among the most strongly anti-American of any issued by church leaders during the six weeks of political unrest.
Signs fluttered outside the pagoda where he spoke saying "down with American obstruction to a national assembly" and students handed out leaflets on the streets saying "we strongly assert that Viet Nam is not a U.S. satellite. Nor does it wish to become a 51st or 52nd state."
Quang apparently was trying to head off firebrand students who broadcast appeals over the radio at Hue for demonstrators to continue protests demanding the immediate ouster of Ky and establishment of another interim government until the civilian government is elected.
In Saigon, Ky, chief of state Nguyen Van Thieu and the other eight generals of the ruling junta met today to play details for the national elections and establishment of a democratic government.
When Thieu gave in to Buddhist demands and announced last week that a civilian government would be established, he said decrees outlining election procedures would be promulgated in the near future.

Rusk statement cites new Chinese attitude
WASHINGTON—(UPI) —Secretary of State Dean Rusk's statement of U.S. policy toward Red China may signal the tentative beginnings of a more flexible American approach to the Communist giant of Asia.
The statement, the first by a secretary of state on Chinese policy since 1958, was made public Saturday.
IN IT RUSK promised the United States would "contain" Chinese aggression, but also would welcome "an era of good relations" if Peking's hostility eases.
To some observers Rusk's statement appeared to go a long
way toward answering some of the criticism leveled at him and administration policy.
Whether such was the case remained to be seen today.
IN THE CHINA statement, Rusk said that possibilities for unofficial contacts between the United States and mainland China should continue to be enlarged. But, he added, the United States must honor its promise to defend Formosa and must try to prevent Nationalist China's expulsion from the United Nations.
The conclusion was that the administration was preparing for a day when it may have to accept a "two-China" policy.
