DAILY BRIEF
15 APRIL 1965
1. Vietnam
No significant changes in the dip-
lomatic or propaganda attitudes of the
main parties in the situation have been
noted since yesterday.
On a lower note, the Ceylonese say
that Kosygin flew into a rage recently
when their ambassador in Moscow offered
him their press statement endorsing
President Johnson's Baltimore speech on
Vietnam. Kosygin asked the Ceylonese
ambassador rhetorically "what the ,US
thought it was trying to do," and stamped
out of the room.
Ambassador Lyon in Colombo specu-
lates that Kosygin may merely, have been
bullying the Ceylonese, telling them in
effect to mind their own business. He
points out that things in Ceylon have
not gone well lately from the Soviet
point-of-view.
According to the press, the new
Soviet ambassador to Peiping will be
Sergei Lapin, currently one of the sev-
eral deputy foreign ministers. Lapin
is not a member of the Soviet party cen-
tral committee, and the Chinese conceiv-
ably might regard this as a slight.
Otherwise, there seems to be nothing
out of the way about this appointment.
As yet there is no word on the re-
sults of today's air assault against the
Viet Cong headquarters in the western
portion of Tay Ninh Province. The major
action in Quang Tri Province is continu-
ing with heavy fighting. South Vietnamese
Marine reinforcements arrived in the
area yesterday.
The highway clearing operation in
Binh Dinh Province, also by South Viet-
namese Marines, continues to meet heavy
Viet Cong resistance, and friendly forces
had 23 men killed or wounded yesterday.
(See map.)

5. Yemen
One battalion of the heavy armored
brigade which deployed into the Jordan
valley in late March has moved into po-
sition on the west bank of the river.
The US Army attache comments that this
is the first known movement of heavy
armor to the west bank since the armis-
tice in 1949, and is symptomatic of the
Jordanians' lively fears of early Is-
raeli attack. (Map)
The US Legation in Sofia is now in-
clined to think that there was serious
trouble last week within the government/
but
the details remain hazy. The best guess
at present is that a coup was attempted,
unsuccessfully, by a group of World War
II comrades who regard recent govern-
ment actions as too liberal.

The government is planningto pro-
voke incidents on the Peruvian frontier
about the time the Organization of Ameri-
can States meets late next month. The
object would be to draw wide attention
to Ecuador's long-standing desire for
boundary revisions.
Troops have apparently already
moved in to the frontier area, and the
chief of the general staff is said to
have personally supervised their prepa-
rations.
