DAILY BRIEF
21 AUGUST 1965
1. Vietnam No significant developments have
been reported today.
2. Dominican Republic Although more moderate elements in
the rebel camp are accepting the Organi-
zation of American States' proposals
with minor modifications, it remains to
be seen whether they can impose their
views or break away from Caamano and
the extremists.
These moderates are mainly Bosch
supporters. If they do break away,
Garcia Godoy, the prospective provision-
al government head, says he will be will-
ing to take office.
The negotiations now center on the
dismantling of the rebel zone. This al-
most certainly will require some force
if the extremists' agreement is not ob-
3. Kashmir

United Nations Under Secretary
Bunche says he is going to Kashmir this
week end at U Thant's request. Bunche's
move evidently comes as a surprise to
the Indians, and probably the Pakistanis
as well. Bunche says there is no ques-
tion as to who is responsible for the in-
cursions into Kashmir, and that his pur-
pose is merely to find out whether the
Pakistanis are willing to stop.
The Indians at the United Nations
apparently suspect that Bunche's trip
is inspired by Washington and London.

4. Greece
5. USSR
Papandreou takes his case to the
countryside today, and more demonstra-
tions in both Athens and the provinces
are thus in prospect. Although Papan-
dreou has not openly asked for Communist
support, the Communists are playing an
increasing role, inserting their own
slogans and leading the crowds.
The US Embassy believes that insta-
bility will be the rule for months to
come, even if Premier Tsirimokos wins
his confidence vote next week. The feud
between Papandreou and the palace has
opened a Pandora's box of constitutional
issues at a time when there are major
economic and foreign policy difficulties
still to be faced.
The SS-9 is a third-generation
missile using storable liquid fuels and
carrying a warhead with an estimated
yield up to 18 megatons. Deployed sites
for the SS-9 are probably under construc-
tion. In earlier test series, its record
was relatively good.
