The exact whereabouts of
Phat and Due were a mystery. but reports indicated they were in hiding. . They were reported greatly worried about the apparent rai- lying by other units in support of Khanh. Air Commodore Ky said two of four army corps fully sup- ported Khanh while one, the 3rd Corps surrounding Saigon. was in a difficult position.
SAIGON OCCUPIED
said this was because troops from the rebellious 4th Corps Iliad occupied Saigon, in- cluding 3rd Corps headquarters. Other loyal units included ma rines, paratroopers, r a n g e r I and the navy, even though para- troop and ranger elements too:-
part in the coup under Phat. Ky told reporters Khanh was prepared to fight if necessary. He said Khanh was prepared to talk with generals Duo and Phat, who would be given safe
conduct if they asked for it. sked whether Khanh would meet the coup leaders on neu- tral ground, he said: “No, he's still the prime minister. Why should he go to neutral ground to talk?"

For Public,
Co—operation between credit granters and credit bureaus. and the education of credit granters as well as the consu- mer in the wise use of credit are the aims of consumer cred- it associations from the interna- tional level down, according to Steve French, manager of the credit bureau of St. John‘s, ‘ fld., a past president of he Association of Credit Bur- eaus of Canada.
Mr. French is now in the pro-
t the Credit Granters of Charlottetown and Summerside about the import ance of both education and co- operation in the field of consu- mer credit. Tonight he will ad- dress the Credit Granters As- sociation of Summerside, and on Tuesday night in the Basili- ca Recreation Centre it will be the turn of the Charlottetown as- sociation to hear about these topics.

HERE TWO YEARS
Credit granting associations have been in existence in Can- ada for about 25 years, Mr. French said last night, though the Island has started to form them only in the past two years.
“We don't want people buy- ing beyond their means," said Mr. French, “and we don't want anyone abusing the various me- din of credit from either end. This comes so important."
