DAILY BRIEF
29 JANUARY 1965
1. South Vietnam
2. USSR-China
3. USSR
General Khanh says that a military-
civilian council will be appointed in
about a week and charged with setting
up a new government. Khanh said that
the election of an assembly might be
postponed.
Khanh maintains that he has satis-
fied the Buddhists, but this remains to
be proved. The Buddhists have at least
calmed down for the present. Order is
being maintained in the major cities,and
there was no Buddhist reaction to this
morning's execution of a terrorist.
Buddhist leader Tri Quang, in a
conciliatory conversation with a US Em-
bassy officer yesterday, said he was re-
turning to his home in Hue for a "long
stay." Today he issued a press state-
ment denying that the Buddhists are
anti-American.

4. Soviet Bloc
5. Ghana
6. Congo
Economic differences within the
Soviet bloc may be widened during the
current Prague meeting of CEMA, the
bloc's economic organization. Contro-
versy is expected over responses to
President Johnson's "bridge-building"
concept. There also will be a ruckus
over the drafting of a coordinated eco-
nomic program for 1965.
Tshombe is still receiving aid
from Portugal and South Africa. The
Portuguese in Angola recently airlifted
ammunition and other supplies to Leo-
poldville; more flights are scheduled.
Also,
some 350 South Afri-
can mercenaries are going to the Congo
soon, and many of these will be South
African Army regulars on leave status.
Tshombe's receipt of aid.from
these sources is a red flag to nationa-
listic Africans.
