DAILY BRIEF
18 JUNE 1965
1. South Vietnam
2. Vietnam
The new government setup--with Gen-
eral Ky as premier--may be announced to-
morrow.
General Chieu, who is to be Secre-
tary General of the military "Council for
the Leadership of the Nation," gave Am-
bassador Taylor the scenario today.
Chieu is not considered a member of the
innermost circle of the military, but
has apparently sat in on some of the plan-
ning sessions.
According to Chieu, the old Armed
Forces Council will meet tomorrow morn-
ing Saigon time and confirm the appoint-
ment of the 10-member leadership coun-
cil. Ky will then present his cabinet
selections, which will include some hold-
overs from the Quat government. Chieu
says the Ky government will operate under
the direction of a steering committee from
the leadership council.
The Papal Nuncio in Saigon also
told Ambassador Taylor today that the
Vatican has sent him instructions to
keep the Vietnamese Catholics from agi-
tating against the new government. The
nuncio seems confident he can do this,
but his control over some of the more
radical Catholics may not prove as firm
as he would like.
The South Vietnam "Liberation Front"
may be preparing to claim the status of a
provisional government.
The head of the front delegation now
visiting Egypt was quoted in yesterday's
Cairo press as saying that he had asked
for recognition from "friendly states."
No similar statements have appeared in
the Peiping or Hanoi press and radio, but
an announcement could come at any time.
The Afro-Asian Conference might furnish
the occasion.
Prime Minister Wilson's peace mission
plan has received a frosty reception--but
not a rejection--in the Moscow press.
Peiping is noncommittal and will probably
wait to coordinate with Hanoi before re-
plying.

7. South Korea
8. Afro-Asian
Conference
The three-man committee from the
Organization of American States today
made public its proposals for ending the
Dominican crisis.
They call for the establishment of
an interim, nonpartisan government fol-
lowed by elections within six to nine
'months. Little in the way of reaction
has come in, although the rebels did in-
dicate they found "positive elements" in
the proposals and would study them.
Santo Domingo and the provinces
were quiet today.
? The Korean student demonstration
today is the beginning of a new round.
the
students are still agitated by the up-
coming Korean-Japanese treaty and are
also protesting the Korean-US status-
of-forces agreement. The police were
on the job today and are confident they
can handle the situation.
Something approaching complete con-
fusion has attended the preparations for
a second Afro-Asian Conference. Its
opening in Algiers is only ten days
off, and arrangements for housing and
feeding the roughly 50 chiefs of state
or their representatives are still most
uncertain. Radical anti-Western states
like Communist China and Indonesia are
geared up to dominate the proceedings
and turn them into an anti-US show. So
far, moderate opposition has been dis-
jointed. An examination of the pros-
pects is in Annex 2.

ANNEX 2
The Second Afro-Asian Conference
The first Afro-Asian Conference was held in
Bandung, Indonesia,in 1955. It was a triumph for
Sukarno and for Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-
lai. Not surprisingly, they have been the moving
spirits behind the upcoming meeting.
The conference has had a checkered past. The
Chinese and Indonesians tried to convene it a year
ago, but were outmaneuvered by the UAR, India, and
Yugoslavia who arranged for the Cairo conference
of the nonaligned to be held first. A number of
states are coming to attend this month's meeting
in Algiers only reluctantly. A number of former
French colonies in Africa may not attend at all.
In fact, the issue of who will attend, and in
what capacity, is still up in the air. Communist
China is determined to exclude the Soviet Union,
South Vietnam, and South Korea. Indonesia insists
that Malaysia not be invited, and the radical Afri-
can states wish to see Tshombe's Congo left out.
None of these was included in Ben Bellat8 original
invitation list sent out in May.
The issue was considered but not settled by
the preparatory committee which met in Algiers from
4 to 8 June. It will come before the foreign min-
isters who are scheduled to meet next Thursday.
There is considerable sentiment in favor of both
Moscow and Malaysia, and if it comes to a straight
Vote, they will most likely be seated.

ANNEX 2 (Cont'd)
Radical success in this endeavor depends on
keeping the moderates disunited and on the defen-
sive. The Chinese and their radical colleagues
managed to do this at preparatory meetings. They
had the help of an Algerian chairman who favored
them at every turn.
Since then, the moderates have made a little
progress in preparing themselves to deal with the
radical steamroller. They are, however, by no
means prepared for concerted action, and some of
them show little stomach for the fight. There is,
for example, no effort comparable to the large
delegations which China, Indonesia, and Algeria
have fanned out through Africa and Asia to line up
support.
In Algiers, physical preparations for the con-
ference have lagged so badly that alternate arrange-
ments are being made to take care of the foreign
ministers. They will meet in the National Assembly
building in Algiers and be housed in hotels within
the city.,
If the Algerians can keep the conference from
degenerating into a shambles, and this is by no means
certain, the proceedings will probably still take
a marked anti-Western and anti-American slant. The
conference may well prove a sobering experience for
the more responsible participants.
