DAILY BRIEF
9 JUNE 1965
1. South Vietnam
2. Vietnam
Quat has asked the military to ar-
bitrate his dispute with Chief of State
Suu, thereby admitting his inability to
deal with the crisis. He is meeting with
the generals today to try to work out a
solution.
Quat says he is confident the gen-
erals support him "in principle" and
want to maintain a civilian government.
He indicated to Ambassador Johnson today
that he hoped the military would work,
with him on a plan that could lead to
Suu's removal from office. His plan
seems complicated, and there is no as-
surance the impatient generals will go
along. At the same time, there is lit-
tle evidence yet that they have considered
assuming control themselves.
A US Embassy officer talked to the
Papal Nuncio today and was assured there
would be no Catholic demonstrations.
The Nuncio said he had told Catholic
leaders it is against their interests
to agitate for a "Catholic government"
which would only evoke a strong Buddhist
reaction. Whether he can really speak
for the militant and emotional Catholic
leadership is not certain.
A captured Viet Cong has provided
additional information on the North Viet-
namese maritime system of infiltration
into South Vietnam.
The prisoner claims the 103rd Viet
Conga Transport Battalion is stationed
near Vinh Linh in North Vietnam. (See
map.) The battalion includes about 640
men and 12 junks. The junks were sail-
ing to supply North Vietnamese forces in
the south when the prisoner's vessel was
forced ashore by a storm.

Iraq
Serious trouble is brewing in Bagh-
dad. Coup rumors are multiplying, and
there is increasing speculation that
the decrepit government of President
Arif maybe on its last legs.
The background on this is complex.
The Kurdish war, which Arif has insisted
on continuing, is unpopular. It was a
major factor in the downfall of his
predecessor Qasim in 1963. Moreover,
the deep and bitter division between
pro- and anti-Egyptian factions seems
to be getting worse.
4. Dominican Republic While the interior is reported as.
generally calm, the war of words goes on.
Rebel leaders are displaying an in-
creasing bitterness and belligerency:to-
ward both the US and the Organization of
American States. This appears to flow -
from their apprehension that some.politi-
cal compromise solution without them may
emerge as well as from the increasing in-
fluence of extremists among them.
Imbert's military and police units
are apparently being braced against the
possibility of rebel-fostered demonstra-
tions on Monday celebrating the sixth
anniversary of the abortive Cuban-sup-
ported invasion of the Dominican Repub-
lic.

The miners continue to resist sched-
uled layoffs and salary cuts, and some of
them may want to force the junta to seize
the mines. The regime is making its
troops highly visible, for psychological
reasons, but is still holding back on a
military takeover of the mines as nego-
tiations continue. It must bring the
miners under control, by persuasion or
by force, or its authority will be se-
verely damaged.

7. Colombia
No incidents have been reported so
far in connection With today's student
Commemoration of "Martyr's Day," The
armyis'still alerted, however.
The government's economic and po-
litical troubles are getting wide atten-
tion in the press, with some of the
stories predicting a state of chaos in
the near future. While these seem over-
played, the government has squeezed through
several tight situations in the past year
without solving any of its pressing prob-
lems, This cannot go on forever. -
