DAILY BRIEF
12 JULY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. Greece
Widespread harassing actions char-
acterized Viet Cong operations over the
weekend. In one operation on 9 July in
Binh Dinh Province (see map), the Viet
Cong mortared a district headquarters and
simultaneously moved against five nearby
militia-protected New Life Hamlets, from
which they kidnapped some 2,580 civilians,
heading them toward the mountains.
Hanoi and Peiping propaganda high-
lights the sendoff of the "first contin-
gent" of Hanoi's "shock brigade of young
volunteers" for an "active assignment."
The ambiguous wording of the announce-
ments is apparently intended to raise
the spectre of their introduction into
South Vietnam. North Vietnamese inter-
cepts, however, suggest the "volunteers"
will be going to construction work camps
in North Vietnam--presumably on damage
repair assignments.
Constantine and Premier Papandreou
had their confrontation yesterday, but
the issue still seems in doubt.
Today Papandreou said he was push-
ing ahead with the ouster of Defense Min-
ister Garoufalias, which the King had
been strongly opposing. This ma A mean
that a compromise--at Garoufalias' ex-
pense--has been reached. The King, how-
ever, has yet to sign the decree required
to legalize the change.

3. Common Market
4. India
5. Dominican Republic
Paris has begun hinting that it may
soften its line on the Common Market dis-
pute. The French have suggested they
might attend a July Council meeting and
are denying any intention of blocking
the market's change to majority voting
next January.
Paris probably intends these moves
as reassurance to French economic groups
that some kind of "common market" will
continue. There is no sign the French
have given up the fight against the or-
ganization's present institutions, how-
ever, and Paris is still insisting on
bilateral talks with the other member.
Concern is rising in New Delhi over
a possible repetition of last year's food
shortages, which precipitated widespread
riots.
While this year's grain harvest will
be substantially larger than in 1964, im-
ports will still be necessary to insure
adequate supplies, to prevent hoarding,
and to maintain buffer stocks. The In-
dian Government is counting heavily on
monthly shipments of 500,000-600,000 tons
of US grain with "at most" a short inter-
ruption. If serious doubt about this
arises, our embassy believes there could
be virtual panic in India.
The Shastri government--largely be-
cause it was newly appointed--escaped
with only embarrassment during last year's
trouble. A crisis this year would be
laid directly at Shastri's doorstep, and
opposition politicians--including the Com-
munists--are already planning to capital-
ize on it.
The Imbert government announced to-
day that Read Barreras had declined to
accept the vice presidency of the provi-
sional government. Garcia Godoy is still
having trouble getting qualified men to
accept other positions.
The rebels held their rally in Santo
Domingo today, apparently without inci-
dent. Caamano addressed them, limiting
his remarks largely to a rehash of the
rebel negotiating position.
