DAILY BRIEF
27 AUGUST 1965
1. Vietnam No major developments were reported
today.
2. Kashmir
Ambassador Bowles is concerned that
the drift of events in New Delhi is to-
ward the expansion of hostilities.
Indian officials now talk frequently
of the need to destroy the Pakistani
bases from which infiltrators are sent
into Kashmir. Indian troops crossed the
cease-fire line again yesterday to "inter-50x1
dict" infiltrators.
?Ayub reportedly said that the Rann
of Kutch affair last spring was the open-
ing move of a plan to force a final solu-
tion of the Kashmir problem. Ayub warned,
however, that not too much should be ex-
pected too soon, and expressed concern
that the Pakistani press was overreacting.
It is doubtful that Ayub's plan has
been worked out as carefully as he seems
to have implied, but if, as we believe,
this report is indicative of the kind of
thinking Ayub is doing now, the present
Kashmir crisis is not going to blow over
soon.
3. Dominican Republic Garcia Godoy, the prospective pro-
visional government head, believes that
he has at least partially restored the
rightist military chiefs' confidence in
him. No headway has been made with con-
servative leader Imbert, however.
Imbert's followers are organizing
a mass rally for Sunday in Santo Domingo.
The rally is billed as anti-Communist
50X1
/ Large delega-
tions are to be transported from outly-
ing towns to the capital for the occasion.

4. Colombia
5. Yemen
6. Greece
The disorders reported in yesterday's
Brief center in Tunja, a provincial capi-
tal some 80 miles northeast of Bogota,
but demonstrations have also broken out
in Bogota itself and in a number of other
towns.
Students seem to be playing a lead-
ing role at this stage. A renewal of ter-
rorism by the Castroist Army of National
Liberation and by hard-line Communists
is possible, however, especially if the
government's hand should seem to be weaken-
ing.
50X1
Cairo has begun the process of
pulling troops out of Yemen.
There has been no break in the situ-
ation. Markezinis, leader of the splinter
Progressive Party, still seems to hold
the key to the survival of Tsirimokos'
cabinet. The latest information from
Athens is that Markezinis continues to
oppose Tsirimokos, but that the Progres-
sives may merely vote "present" instead
of against.

7. Japan .
8. Bolivia
Prime Minister Sato's recent visit
?to Okinawa seems virtually certain to
make the reversion of the island from
US to Japanese administration much more
of a burning issue in Japanese politics
than it has been.
Sato has already created a special
cabinet council for Okinawa. This coun-
cil is to hold its first meeting today.
The prime minister's special assist-
ant for foreign affairs has told our em-
bassy that Sato must adopt policies on
Okinawa that will win the support of
"healthy" nationalism in Japan and keep
Sato's opponents from monopolizing the
issue.
This official warned that it is no
longer enough for Japan merely to give
economic aid to the Okinawans and that
some political moves will have to be
made.
A new strike in the nationalized
tin mines began yesterday. This one is
scheduled to last only 48 hours, although
leftist extremists want to make it open-
ended. Moderate leaders retain control
so far.
