THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17,1968 13 South Vietnam Government Has Largely Negative Achievements Toke-Over of Fighting Believed Many Years Away By DAVID BONAVIA SAIGON, Dispatch of the Times, London It is now a full year since the pres South Vietnam government was ilected. Its achievements i lhat time have been largely negative: it has stood up to the pressures on it better than many would have dared to hope, but It has not done much more than hold its ground and consolidate its authority a little. A certain measure of stability has been achieved.

The imbalance between military and civil authority has been corrected somewhat, to the satisfaction of the Americans. Civilian politicians arc now less at the beck and call of the generals than since the time of Ngo Dinh Diem, and it seems as if the era of coups is over though the army is still a potent political factor. Rivalry Toned Down The disruptive rivalry between President Thieu and Vice President Ky has been toned down as Thieu has strengthened his position by maintaining cordial relations with the Americans and by slowly moving his own men into, positions of power both in the Capital and in the provinces.

Seamans will take over the job left vacant when Corson became department director succeeding Jack Kamman, who resigned. A statement issued by Foote's attorney, William Green of Manchester, said Foote planned "ultimately to develop Ragged Mountain area into a year round facility." The ski area was scheduled to be auctioned at 2 p.m.

yesterday as the result of a mortgage foreclosure notice issued by the Indian Head National Bank of Nashua. Green said Foote's purchase of the controlling interest had apparently satisfied the bank. Greene would not comment or confirm reports that Foote also acquired a purchasing option for approximately 1,000 acres near Ragged Mountain. The New Hampshire Industrial Development Authority officials-were unavailable for comment concerning the state's role in the matter.

The armed forces, if anything, gained in strength and confi dence after the New Year fighting when they discovered that the Vietcong were not quite as invincible as they have often seemed. The American M-16 rifle has been supplied to all South Vietnamese maneu battalions and American a d- visers profess to see marked signs of improvement in the performance of the Vietname troops. Nevertheless, not even most optimistic believe they will be able to take over the main burden of the fighting for sev- iral years at least. The present government has succeeded in carrying out a reasonably competent holding operation with the constant and ubiquitous support of the Americans. But it does not seem likely to make substantial progress in time to outpace the disillusionment and antagonism which any government here is liable to face as it shows itself unable to solve the country's perennial problems.
