DAILY BRIEF
26 FEBRUARY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. Vietnam
General Thi's efforts to consoli-
date his newly won authority are mak-
ing most of the other generals nervous.
Some of them are trying to get him back
to his corps command in the north.
Students in Saigon today mounted
a small demonstration which called for
an end to the war and the withdrawal of
"foreign elements." They may have been
members of a new "Struggle for Peace
Force," which is said to be fast gain-
ing members. On the other side, a high
Viet Cong official has just declared
that the Viet Cong stand ready to fight
until "the last foreign aggressor has
been wiped from our territory."
Aerial photography taken 14 Febru-
ary shows a new air field in the early
stages of construction about 25 miles
west of Hanoi. (See map.) Two similar
fields are being built in South China.

Kosygin in his TV report to the nation
made no direct call for ne- 50X1
gotiations. He said that US "aggression"
against North Vietnam must end in order
"to create conditions for the exploration
of avenues leading to the normalization
of the situation in Indochina."
The French say Peiping might drop
a US pullout as a precondition, but this
is doubtful.
