South Vietnam 2. Dominican Republic Khanh appears to be on the way out after a fruitless day yesterday of try- ing to rally support. A US official on the spot says that we can expect a few more twists and turns, but it looks as if Khanh's shoulders are about to be pinned to the mat. The infighting of the past few days is likely to leave deep scars on the top military and may well have planted the seeds of further dissension. The designation of "Little" Minh to succeed Khanh seems only temporary. Among the solutions being discussed is the possibility of abolishing the of- fice of commander-in-chief which Khanh held. Documents taken from the wrecked Viet Cong supply ship clearly link the vessel with North Vietnam. Some of the ICC teams are reportedly leaving North Vietnam. The weekend passed quietly in Santo Domingo. Well-advertised government counter-measures seem to have caused the city's many coup plotters to post- pone action for the time being. 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003500130001-4 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003500130001-4 0- CAMEROON DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO F-1 Approximate Area of Uprising O 100 290 Ailes O 100 200 Kilometers GABON. damboma ? 8- 214' CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC ^ Banzyvi Ile, /.1"1L}) r?-?\, MOYEN -CONGO Lisal a Bumba Coqui I hatvi I le kende ?
