MADAME NHL
A ‘First Lady’
Of Controversy
SAIGON, Vietnam (NC) —
Madame Ngo dinh Nhu, “First
Lady" of Vietnam, now visit
ing the U. S., is a convert
to the Catholic Church. Her
father, until recently Vietnam-
••e ambassador to the U, S., is
a Confucian and her mother a
Buddhist.
Madame Nhu's maiden name
was Tran Le Xuan, Tran being
the family name and Le Xuan,
which means "Beautiful Spring
time," her proper name. When
she was baptized at the age of
19, before her marriage to Ngo
dinh Nhu, she received the
Christian name of Lucy. She is
the second of three children.
Her sister, older, and her bro
ther, a year younger, nave not
become Christians.
HER HUSBAND is political
counsellor to his brother, Pre
sident Ngo dinh Diem, TheNhus
live in a section of the Gla Long
presidential palace with their
four children, two girls and two
boys. Since the President is un
married, Madame Ngo dinh Nhu,
his sister-in-law, acts as his
hostess and is called the "First
Lady,"
She and her husband are re
garded as the two most power
ful persons in President Diem’s
government, though neither of
La u s
Look For
Oscar
them holds any constitutional
position in the executive branch.
They are both members of the
National Assembly, to which
they have just been reelected
unopposed. She is the found
ress and president of the Wo
men’s Solidarity Movement, a
political-social organization.
MADAME NHU has aroused
severe criticism by some of her
public utterances. Catholics
have regretted the harshness of
her statements during the re
cent long-drawn-out dispute be
tween the government and a
large section of the Buddhists.
Many of those who know her
well respect her sincerity and
courage, while deploring her
intemperate and tactless pro
nouncements. They point out
that she did not receive a Cat
holic education.
"She is a sincere believer,"
one of her Catholic acquaint
ances said with emphasis, "but
she has not had the benefit of
a really Catholic formation."
HER SCHOOLING began in
Saigon. The family moved to
Hanoi, where she attended the
coeducational secondary sc
hool, the Lycee Albert Sarraut.
This was one of the schools
conducted by the French
government then holding power
in Vietnam.
About nine years ago, because
of the disturbed conditions in
Vietnam, Madame Nhu spent
some months in Hong Kong,
where she lived in a convent.
That was when she began to
study English under the guid
ance of the Canossian Sisters.
SHE IS faithful to her religi
ous observances and desires
to be a good Catholic, accord
ing to a friend, bhe has made
sure that her children are well
instructed in their religion.
Tne Ngo family into which she
married has been Catholic for
some 300 years.

POPE PAUL &41’S
Catholic Press Has
Two Basic Functions
VATICAN CITY (NC)—The
Catholic press has two func
tions, to Inform readers and
guide their Judgment of the
news, His Holiness Pope Paul
VI said at a special audience
for staff members of the Turin
Catholic weekly, 11 Nostro Tem
po.
Pope Paul told the Catholic
newsmen that it is not enough
for Catholic newspapers to give
die news and offer people a pic
ture of events. While this should
be done, he said, it is also nec
essary to give die news a point
of reference, to Judge it, to
classify it, to see inside it and
examine it beyond its super
ficial aspect.
CATHOLICS, the Pope said,
have the capacity to make a
superior Judgment and the Faith
makes them see things in a
moral and human light. There
fore, he added, It is neces
sary to accustom readers to
true Christian judgment. The
value of the Catholic press, he
said, is in placing events in
a Christian perspective.
Pope Paul granted two other
special audiences the same day
(Sept. 24), one to the Dutch Ca
tholic Union of Farmers and the
other to the Agricultural Com
mission of the European Parlia
ment, He recalled his visit to
the Netherlands to the farmers.
