Jeeps Burn
GV.Z. Preet 4s«n. —Copyright > SAIGON, June 14. Buddhist demonstrators today splashed petrol on an American jeep and a Vietnamese jeep and sent both vehicles up in flames after Buddhists swarmed through the streets in a re-birth of antiGovernment violence. A woman and child were shot in the confusion. Riot police and Vietnamese ranger troops fired a steady barrage of teargas and pistol shots to drive a shouting, rioting crowd of about 3000 into the Buddhist Institute compound in Saigon. Teargas grenades were launched by the dozens at the milling demonstrators. Tough rangers in battle dress fired more than 100 pistol rc-tnds over the heads of the crowd made up of Buddhist monks and nuns, street hooligans and idlers who always make their way into the ranks of Buddhist street demonstrations.
