DAILY BRIEF
18 FEBRUARY 1965
1. Congo
2. Indonesia
Ugandan Army units have crossed the
Congolese frontier at three places. It
is not clear how large these forces are,
but at least one of the columns may be
company sized and equipped with armored
cars. These incursions are the culmina-
tion of Uganda Prime Minister Obote's
active assistance of the Congo rebels
which he began in mid-December. To
cover the action, Obote is accusing the
Congolese of incursions into Uganda.
50X1
Meanwhile, there is fresh evidence
of other African support for the Congo-
lese rebels. 50X1
several large boats crossing Lake Tan-
ganyika from Tanzania to 50X1
rebel-held territory around Fizi. 50X1
Tanzania has given 50X1
assent to the air transit of arms for
the Congo rebels . Kenya is 50X1
said to have decided to send troops to
Uganda, and some may have been flown in
yesterday.
Two Congolese T-28 aircraft are
missing in the area of one of the Ugan-
dan attacks, and are believed to have
been shot down.
While the extent of direct involve-
ment by Ugandan or other foreign elements
is not yet clear, it is obvious that a
more effective and disciplined rebel
force has appeared on the scene in the
past few days.
A mob of Communist youths seized
the USIS library in Medan, Sumatra, this
morning. There are indications that
takeovers of American-owned rubber plan-fl in north Sumatra are likely soon.
As before, this harassing activity is
instigated by, or at least connived in,
the.:Sukarno:government. ,

3. Vietnam
4. Sudan
Viet Cong activity--mainly small-
scale guerrilla attacks and sabotage--
has been relatively, light today. The
government has bombed and sunk what may
prove to be a North Vietnamese vessel
of some size. General Khanh is per-
sonally conducting an investigation of
the hulk to determine whether it may
have been used in infiltration opera-
tions.
In Saigon, political maneuvering con-
tinues. There is speculation that there
may be a shake-up in the Buddhist lead-
ership which will displace Buddhist In-
stitute leader Tam Chau, who figured
prominently in the agitation against
the Huong government. Such a shake-up
would further strengthen the position of
Chau's rival, Tri Quang.
The new government which is now
being formed will probably be dominated
by non-Communist elements. However, the
Communists will probably have some repre-
sentation in the coalition and the likely
resumption of bickering and infighting
among the other parties could provide
the Communists with the opportunities
for influence. It is too soon to tell
whether the change of government will
render the Sudanese more cooperative
with Western efforts to stabilize the
Congo situation.
