Halt March

On Embassy

SAIGON (UPI) —Vietnamese
olice Friday broke up an
ttempted march by Buddhist
onks on the U.S. Embassy to
protest against the American-
backed general elections Sun-
day. Hundreds of other monks
and nuns staged hunger strikes.

The monks were members of
the unified Buddhist church
which has called on all
followers to boycott the elec-
tions for a constitutional
assembly to pave the way for a
return of civilian government. |

Police intercepted and ar
about a dozen
carrying anti-American and
anti-government banners, about
one-quarter of a mile from the
embassy in downtown Saigon.
Other police and American
MP.s threw a tight cordon.
about the embassy which was
ringed with rolls of barbed
wire. :

The government police hus-
tled the monks into their jeeps
and seized such posters as one
reading: “The U.S. and South
Vietnamese governments are
responsible for the death of Tri



Quang.”
