PROTEST AT SAIGON BAN
“Newsweek” Issue (N.Z. Press Assn —Copyright > NEW YORK, Sept. 11. “Newsweek" magazine yesterday protested against the banning of its current issue by the South Vietnamese Government. Mr Osborn Elliott, the magazine's editor, cabled the protest to the American Ambassador (Mr Henry Cabot Lodge). Mr Elliott asked the Ambassador to request that the South Vietnamese rescind the ban. The ban was announced on Friday by the South Vietnamese Office of Military Information. The Government said the action was taken because of an article by the magazine s Saigon bureau chief, Everett G. Martin. The article said that the Vietnamese “maintain an almost total impassivity” to the war, and the United States had not convinced them “that there is a cause worth fighting for.”
