DAILY BRIEF
28 APRIL 1965
Dominican Republic-
LATE ITEM
(Information as of 1700 EDT)
The issue is again in doUbt.
Armed Communists and other extreme
? leftist elements have successfully re-
sisted today's attacks by Wessin y Wes-
sin's loyal troops.
It is not clear how much the left-
ist success stems from confusion and lack
of coordination and how much from unex-
pected strength on the part of the Com-
munists. At the least,,Wessin faces
a bitter house-to-house struggle to
clear. out Santo Domingo. At the most,. .
he could be faced with a Sudden collapse
of his own forces. At last report,
loyal forces were tiring and they may
throw in the sponge before this is read.
In any event, it has become increas-
ingly clear 'Auring', the day that leader-
ship of the rebels has passed to the
left with some befuddled military Among
them, and Juan Bosch's supporters have
lost control. As Ambassador Bennett has
pointed out,"a victory for the rebels
in this situation will mean that the ?
country has been taken over by the ex-
treme left."

DAILY BRIEF
28 APRIL 1965
1. Vietnam
2. North Korea
3. Yugoslavia
Photography of 22 April showed the 50X1
revetments of the SAM site southeast of
Hanoi to be complete. Other construction
is unfinished but probably sufficient to
accommodate missile equipment whenever
it is received. No further evidence re-
gardiwthe arrival in Hanoi of either
missile equipment or personnel has come'
in.
There are no significant changes in
the attitude Of the Communist nations
toward negotiations. The Chinese have
attacked .the Indian suggestion for sta-
tioning an Afro-Asian force along the
boundary between North and South Viet-
nam. Gromyko has maintained to the
French that US air strikes must stop
before a conference on Vietnam could
be held.
Last night's attack on a US RB47
by North Korean jet fighters some 40
miles off the east coast culminates a
growing North Korean edginess about
foreign aircraft over the Sea of Japan
50X1
This is the fifth 5UX1
time since 7 April that North Korean
fighters have been scrambled to check
on US offshore reconnaissance flights.
There is no other evidence of recent
unusual North Korean military activities.
Tito is soon to visit Moscow for
talks--possibly after his visit to Nor-
way 10-14 May
/Vietnam and the future
of the Communist movement are said to
be on the agenda.

4. Cambodia
5. India
6. Panama
7. Ecuador
Cambodia has raised charges of an-
other South Vietnamese air attack just
over the Cambodian border, resulting in
one Cambodian death. Sihanouk, in the
present anti-American atmosphere he has
fostered, will undoubtedly raise another
storm. He has often threatened to break
relations With the US in the event of an-
other such incident.
British officials in.New Delhi said
today that Indian leaders have indicated
their conditional readiness to accept .a.
cease-fire in the Rann of Kutch tomorrow,
There is no word as to whether the Pakis-
tanis have accepted the Indian conditions,
President Robles is getting concerned
over the extent of domestic dissatisfac-
tion with his administration.
