THI UtAMDOM SUM. The Man Behind Tifa Throne Most Powerful, Hated Man In South Viet Nam InflMAttita IIU'J the gay life of SOUTHERN EUROPE on CANADIAN PACIFIC IPRESS TOURS SAIGON (AP) Ngo Dfa Nhu, the man behind the thraue Jn South Viet Nam. lamented receaSy that "if an.vbody's oppressed ia this country, it's the government" A moatfc later, Nhn persuaded bis brcer, President Ngo Dsnb Diem, to declare martial law while Nhu personally ordered troops and his own security police to steal pagodas and the back of a Buddhist nawtsnent a tbreatessd She family regime, ,1 w-. tuG i I weeks ago, Nhu emerged ss possibly powerM-- sad most iarted-SgSjre in South Viet Nam. He Jas dominated his brother Diem since their jooth, although Diem at S2 is 10 Ills senior.

Nan Ekes to tell Tisiters that he is a much misunderstood man. His is a many-faceted per- sonality--mild mannered, soft- spoken and tough. Discussing the danger of a possible attempt to overthrow the government. Khu told a group of military leaders last month there were only two ways of handling a smash it like an egg before it is hatched you join it and exploit it." Nhu is violently anti-Communist. He has said the only solution for the Communist China problem is to atom-tomb Pe- Vinff, But an American who has known him for years ssys Nhu is captivated by Communist techniques and successes.

Nhu has a great regard for U.S. isdusirial and mechanical ingenuity. But ha makes no secret of his contempt for American democratic and political processes. Americans. Nhu cys, are naive.

They are favorite phrass of his--and misinformed by the press. He says Americans don't understand Asians or Communists. Nhu is reported to have said he would make a deal with his country's arch enemy. Communist North Viet Nam, before he would bow to U.S. pressure.

He has repeatedly indicated he has contacts with North Viet Nam. When a coup appeared threatening last month, Nhu was reported to have said he would order Saigon razed if any attempt were made to overthrow his family's regime. An American who knows Nhu well says: "He is extremely intelligent, even brilliant, but he shows symptoms of irrationality." Nhu's pet subject is "person- alisffi," a bewildering mixture of Eomaa Catholicism, Buddhism and French existentialism. He says American poet Walt Whitman expressed the basic principle of "personalism" in the phrase, "the soaring freedom of the soul." And Nhu says "personaiism" is his basic formula for government. A well-placed Vietnamese put it this way: "Nhu brooded and brooded for years in relative isolation to develop this philosophy.

Now he has it, he won't budge. The facts must be made to ui the philosophy." Nhu heads the secret police and runs the revolatonary Labor party, a network of informers and a military type organization called the Republican Youth Move- Eient He is the founder and director of the effective strategic hamlets program, which he describes as an "anti-guerrilla guerrilla movement" of military protected villages. But by far the most inpor- tant job Nhu holds is the innocent sounding one of political adviser to his brother, the president. Diem has always been regarded as a man of the highest principles, but dreamy and detached. He rules, he says, by "mandate from heaven." His brother, Ngo Dinh Thuch, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Hue, once said Diem quit studying for the priesthood in his youth mainly because "the church was too worldly for Diem." Another brother, Ngo Dhh Canh, 50, is political boss of Central South Viet Nam, while still another, Ngo Dinh Luyen, 48, is ambassador to Britain.

Another powerful influence the palace-some say possitly even more powerful than Nhu-is Nhu's outspoken wife. Dicra is a bachelor, and Mrs. Nhu is official hostess and first lady. She is an influential deputy to the National Assembly, bead of the country-wide para-military Women's Solidarity Movement, the leading spokeswoman for women's rights in South Viet Nam and a biting critic of the United States. Due to some of her pungent remarks-she recently referred to a Buddhist monk 1 sacrificial by fire as a Nhu ia far better known abroad than her publicity-shy husband.

Many here think Nhu uses his wife to get his ideas across. Others feel the roles reversed.

He told the opening session of the Canadian Bar Association's annual meeting that people today regard such services as a democratic right The change in social concept already has been witnessed in the medical profession in Canada and the legal profession in Great Britain. People now demand such professional services irrespective of their financial and social position, he said. "You, who are leaders in your profession, should show great wisdom in giving careful consideration to these new patterns in the changing concepts of the world today. They must be faced and they can best be met by the professions' themselves."
