PRESIDENT’S CALL
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright)
SAIGON, May 10
President Nguyen Van Thieu today urged South Vietnam’s people not to be misled by Communist propaganda, and not to participate in nation-wide demonstrations, which he said the Communists were planning, the Associated Press has reported.
President Thieu warned that the national police were under orders to fire into crowds if Communist-directed demonstrations threatened Government installations. The South Vietnamese President spoke on national television against a background of repeated explosions caused by allied air strikes against enemy infiltrators inside the capital—only a short distance from where he spoke at Independence Palace. It was his first public statement since the Communists began their renewed attacks against Saigon last Sunday.
