Dispute in Saigon
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) SAIGON, Oct. 23. The bulk of the journalists In South Vietnam today called for the dismissal of the Minister of Information as the latest move in their campaign for press freedom. The leaders of three journalists’ associations issued a joint statement accusing Mr Hoang Due Nha of applying “jungle laws” in his dealings with the press, and saj'ing that his policy will lead to the bankruptcy of newspapers and unemployment for journalists. The criticisms follow the seizure by the police of three Saigon newspapers yesterday, and four the day before. Several papers have boycotted Government information, and have concentrated, instead, on reporting the growing opposition to President Thieu’s Government.
