In South Vietnam, the critical atti-
tude of Buddhist leader Tri Quang toward
the government appears to be hardening.
While he does not appear to US Embassy
observers to be committed to any particular
course of action, he is saying that "sooner
or later the government will have to go."
There have been some defections from
the Papandreou camp, but the chances are
dim that the Athanasiadis-Novas govern-
ment can long survive.
Papandreou still commands broad sup-
port and he clearly intends to make the
future of the monarchy a leading element
of new elections, should it come to that.
The King, who has returned to Corfu
for the week end, would probably prefer to
let former deputy premier Stephanopolous
try to form a government before calling
for elections, which no one, except perhaps
Papandreou, wants.
Public gatherings have been banned
in Athens, and two battalions of reinforce-
ments have been sent in. The government's
security arrangements may be severely
tested tonight when leftwingers plan a big
rally.

The 27,000-pound satellite?Proton-1--
launched yesterday may have been the first
to use the large new booster we have seen
in satellite photography. Proton-1 has
been tracked back to the complex at Tyura-
tam, where satellite photography has shown
more than usual activity for the past few
months. In May, a 205-foot gantry was in
place at one of the launch pads at the com-
plex. A large booster was being assembled
at the gantry.
The booster appeared to have a cluster
of seven rockets. Early analysis of yester-
day's big launch indicates that a clustered
booster was used.
Press services in Paris are disseminat-
ing a report that a US aircraft was inter-
cepted over the important gaseous diffusion
plant at Pierrelatte by French fighters. A
French inquiry has been opened into this
"unprecedented" incident.
