DAILY BRIEF
10 FEBRUARY 1965
1. Vietnam
. Ghana
Other than the Viet Cong offen-
sive of the past few days, we have de-
tected no significant changes in the
Communist military posture elsewhere
in the Far East.
The propaganda outcry from Hanoi
and Peiping is, however, shrill. In a
wild-swinging editorial against Presi-
dent Johnson, Peiping today declares
that air strikes against North Vietnam
will only cause the Viet Cong to re-
double their efforts. Hanoiris simi-
larly vituperative, but, like Peiping,
is carefully vague as to what it will
do. The only firm commitment Peiping
makes is a promise to counter an in-
vasion of North Vietnam.
Soviet Premier Kosygin is overnight-
ing in Peiping where he met what initially
appears to have been another rather cool
reception./
/His statements prior
to leaving Hanoi suggest that he re-
frained from making any extensive new
commitments to the Vietnamese. In Mos-
cow Soviet officials continue to make
relatively conciliatory noises toward
the ?US.
In Saigon prospects for a new gov-
ernment brightened today. Former in-
terior minister Vien, a relative who
does not get on too well with Khanh,
says he has accepted the post of prime
minister. He hopes to have a cabinet
for presentation to the Armed Forces
Council tomorrow or Friday.
plotting is actively under way to
oust Nkrumah "in the very near future."
Plans are incomplete, and this, like pre-
vious plots, may collapse before execu-
tion. However, with the atmosphere in
Accra after the death in prison of a
venerated opposition leader, this one
may have a better chance of success.
