DAILY BRIEF
15 MAY 1965
'LATE ITEM
Dominican Republic Loyalist forces are trying to clear
the rebels out of Santo Domingo's north-
ern industrial area.
Yesterday the loyalists gave their
plans for clearing the area to the
Organization of American States commis-
sion, which made no objection. This
morning heavy firing was reported, but
the progress of the loyalist effort is
as yet unclear.
The rebel radio went off the air
? again yesterday afternoon, apparently
following a loyalist attack. The radio
has not been heard as of 11:00 AM, EDT,
but its return to the air cannot be
ruled out at this time.
The US Embassy expects the arrival
of U Thant's advance team to complicate
the situation in Santo Domingo, The
Organization of American States team
is said to be shocked and dejected by
the UN presence.

DAILY BRIEF
15 MAY 1965
1. North Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
Hanoi and Peiping have publicly
attacked both President Johnson's re-
newed call for unconditional talks and
Indian President Radhakrishnan's plan
for a negotiated settlement. Peiping's
ambassador in Paris turned quite red in
the face when questioned last week about
the prospect for talks. "There is ab-
solutely no possibility for any negotia-
tions," he insisted.
Neither Moscow nor Hanoi referred
to President Johnson's remarks about
China's standing in the way of talks.
The South Vietnamese liberation front
called the remarks a 7cowardly attempt"
to "sow discord" and declared the front
needed no pressure from Peiping to con-
vince it to fight on.
Buddhist leader Tri Quang believes
that the psychological lift provided
by the air strikes against North Viet-
nam is beginning to wear off.
He says that he is now being
criticized for not taking a stronger
"peace" line. He expects pressures
along these lines to grow and bring
with them the risk of more violent ex-
pressions of anti-American feeling.
Ambassador Taylor comments that
Quang's statements could foreshadow a
new upsurge of Buddhist unrest and po-
litical activity.

3. Soviet Union
4. South Korea
5. Dahomey
Moscow is stepping up its watch on
China as Sino-Soviet relations continue
straincAd
The Soviets are also keenly inter-
ested in Peiping's nuclear weapons pro-
gram. They have moved at least five
sampling aircraft to the Far East and
obviously plan a much more extensive
debris collection effort than they
carried out on China's initial test.
President Pak Chong-Hui is looking
forward to his 17-18 May visit to Wash-
ington as an opportunity to strengthen
his position at home. Korean politicians,
have been seeking his overthrow, ?using
popular opposition to his policy of
rapprochement with Japan as a weapon.

The Pakistanis tell us that they
have on several recent occasions re-
frained from shooting down Indian recon-
naissance aircraft over Pakistan. They
say they did not wish to jeopardize ef-
forts to nail down a formal ceasefire
with India.
On the most recent occasion last
Wednesday, the Pakistan Air Force had
jet fighters in position to bring an
Indian plane down over Lahore. (See
map.) President Ayub personally issued
a restraining order. Both sides have
built up their border forces in the area
around Lahore following the clashes in
the Rann of Kutch.
Yes-
terday, reinforced troops and police
had to make liberal use of tear gas to
keep order in the city's streets.
So far the armed forces have stood
with the junta. If this cohesion is
maintained, the junta may well pull
through this latest threat to its
authority.
