DAILY BRIEF
14 JULY 1965
1. South Vietnam
2. Vietnam
US military officials in Saigon re-
port some decline in the intensity of
Viet Cong attacks during the week end-
ing 10 July. Incidents were more numer-
ous, but personnel and weapons losses
on both sides were down.
The trend suggests that some Com-
munist units may be resting briefly and
resupplying in preparation for large-
scale attacks later this month. An ex-
ception may be in the Quang Ngai-Quang
Tin border area, where enemy forces in
more than regimental strength appeared
posed for action. (Map)
Photography of 10 July shows that
construction of the fifth surface-to-air
missile site--detected earlier this
month--is nearing completion. Construc-
tion on three and possibly four of the
five is now virtually finished. Nothing
that can be firmly identified as mis-
sile-associated equipment has yet shown
up in photography, however, and there is
no sign of construction of the support
facility essential for sustained opera-
tion of a missile complex.
The slow pace of construction had
appeared to reflect Soviet foot dra
this
training would last until the winter of
1965. Hanoi had
refused to let Russians operate the sites
so as "to avoid further aggravation of
Sino-Soviet tensions."

So far today there have been no re-
ports of a renewal of yesterday's violent
demonstrations against the junta in Guaya-
quil, Ecuador's largest city. However,
some opposition leaders in Guayaquil and
Quito have vowed to continue with the
demonstrations until the junta is toppled.
Given the pressures on the junta and
the increasing unrest, the junta may soon
be faced with the choice of imposing
a military dictatorship, speeding up
drastically its plan for a return to a
civilian government, or bowing out.
Yesterday, ex-president Gab o Plaza,
recently UN mediator on Cyprus, offered
his services to the junta, and there ap-
pears to be some sentiment for his tempo-
rary assumption of executive power.
The Organization of American States
team is preparing for its return to Wash-
ington to render a status report,and the
negotiations have paused.
Garcia Godoy may get a lift in his
effort to form a provisional government.

The press has reported that a set-
tlement for the government crisis has
been agreed upon in Cairo, where the
principal contenders for power have been
vying for Nasir's blessing.
it is not yet clear who may have come
out on top.
Meanwhile, in the Yemen itself,
Egyptian forces are still engaged in
consolidating their hold on key towns
and lines of communications while at
the same time pulling in isolated gar-
risons and detachments overly vulnerable
to royalist attack.
Israeli and Jordanian forces clashed
today in the most serious border incident
in several months.
The incident apparently began with
an exchange of fire between small units,
but
the Israeli force had
grown to battalion strength. The area
was calm at last report, but the affair
is indicative of the explosive potential
of the situation along the border
President Leoni on 13 July approved a plan
for a 2,000 man security raid into the
grounds of the Central University in Ca-
racas early tomorrow.
Security officials want evidence to
bolster an effort to get legislative au-
thority for government restrictions on
the traditional sanctuary the university
provides for subversive elements among
students. Students took advantage of a
taxi strike Monday and Tuesday to create
a wave of violence around the university
grounds, killing one police officer. This
apparently impelled Leoni to overcome his
long reluctance to sanction government
interference with the university, although
he may still change his mind.
Security officials are braced for pro-
longed violent reverberations from the
right as well as the left, particularly
in Caracas.

Serious differences may remain be-
tween the King and Premier Papandreou
and a full-,blown government crisis may ?
still be at hand. 50X1
the King is still opposed 50X1
to Papandreou as Minister of defense and
may refuse to sign a decree removing the
present minister until a replacement
satisfactory to him is named.
