DAILY BRIEF
30 JULY 1965
1. South Vietnam
2, North Vietnam
The major US search-and-destroy
operation southeast of Saigon continues
according to plan. Only light enemy
sniper fire has been encountered so far.
A similar South Vietnamese opera-
tion in Chuong Thien Province southwest
of the capital has accounted thus far
for a total of 204 Communist guerrillas
killed. Allied casualties stand at 19
killed and 37 wounded.
A Viet Cong force, estimated to be
a reinforced battalion, attacked a train-
ing center in Kien Phong Province yester-
day with mortars, recoilless rifles, and
machine guns. The provincial capital
was subjected to heavy mortar fire at
the same time. Heavy government losses
have been reported.

3. Dominican Republic While negotiations toward a pro-
visional government drag on, several
factions in the rebel camp are reported
to be increasingly eager for an early
? settlement.
Leaders of Juan Bosch'a Dominican
Revolutionary Party are voicing concern
lest they lose control to extremist
elements. Leading members of the ortho-
dox Moscow-oriented Communist Party see
an early settlement as an assist to their
later electoral chances, in some hoped-
for combination with Bosch's party.
? The hard-line extremist factions,
however, still favor a prolongation of
the situation through guerrilla actions,
despite declining morale in the rebel
camp generally.
4. Venezuela
A new wave of violence appears to
have been launched by the Communist Armed
Forces of National Liberation.
Communist leaders on 28 July were
planning a series of attacks on US in-
stallations and personnel in Caracas as
well as against the police. This is to
be the Communist response to a police
raid on a funeral home during eulogies
for a prominent comrade who had died
in prison.
In Anzoategui State, eastern Vene-
zuela, where a new Communist terrorist
group was formed recently, new acts of
sabotage have been mounted against US-
owned oil installations over the past
several days.
US personnel in Caracas who are pos-
sible targets have been warned and given
protection, and President Leoni last
night ordered a roundup of Communists
there. He has also declared a state of
emergency in Anzoategui.

5. Honduras
6. Greece
The government has declared a state
of siege in anticipation of some violent
reaction to the killing of a student in
Tegucigalpa by government guards yester-
day. This death, in the course of a
rally protesting the activities of gov-
ernment strike breakers during an abor-
tive general strike on 27 July; provides
opposition groups and Communist elements
with a martyr.
So far today, the capital was reported
quiet. The right of free assembly, among
others, has been suspended and the govern-_
ment will not hesitate to crack down.
A resolution to the crisis is no
nearer. According to the press, tonight's
parliamentary session ended with the pro-
nouncement of the acting speaker that the
Novas government was unable to secure a
quorum and "is considered as fallen."
An attempt to form a government
under former deputy premier Stephanopoulos
might still be in the cards.
50X1
King Constantine
doubted that Novas could win a parlia-
mentary vote of confidence but 50X1
would support him till the vote came.
Then he would probably give 50X1
the mandate to Stephanopoulos, despite
the vacillation of the latter.
The King, who appears to be operat-
ing pretty much on his own, still sees
the army as his last line of defense.
