*South Vietnam: Speculation continues that militant
and moderate Buddhist followers may be heading for a
break with their leaders.
Ho Huu Tuong, lower house deputy and a Buddhist
university official, told an embassy officer on 2 November
that a personal reconciliation between Thich Tri Quang
and Thich Tam Chau, leaders of the militant and the
moderate factions respectively, is unlikely. Tuong said
he sees the removal of Quang and Chau and the merger of
the two factions into a more middle-of-the-road "third
force" as the only solution to the current impasse over
the charter issue.
3.3(h)(2)
President
ieu's brother has cated, moreover, that the
government would be receptive to any charter recommendations
made by a new, reconciled Buddhist grouping. There are
as yet no indications, however, that such a break is imminent.
Significant contacts with enemy forces reported over
the weekend were confined to the IV Corps Tactical Zone
where mortar and ground assaults were launched against
the towns of Chau Phu, Cai Lay and Long My. A total of
38 soldiers and civilians were killed and another 179 were
wounded in the attacks which appeared to be a continuation
of a series of hostile actions begun in this region on
28 October.
The situation remained quiet in the vicinity of Loc
Ninh where heavy fighting has occurred during the past
ten days. Officially adjusted casualty figures through
2 November indicated that 31 friendly and 720 enemy troops
had been killed around Loc Ninh. Field reports on
5 November showed that the number of enemy dead
subsequently had risen to '771. /
