DAILY BRIEF
30 AUGUST 1965
1. North Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
3. Colombia
50X1
Intercepted communications indicate
that IL-28 Beagle jet light bombers in
North Vietnam are taking more training
flights. As many as four bombers at a
time may be training together.
Antigovernment student demonstra-
tions spread to the city of Da Nang to-
day. The students, like those in Hue,
are protesting government actions and
calling for the ouster of-head of state'
Thieu.
General Thi, the ambitious commander
of the 1st Corps in the north, told a US
official last week he thought that the'
Thieu-Ky government would last Only an-'
other month or two. Thi claimed broad
popular support for himself, and indi-
cated he hoped that Premier Ky would
turn to him to take over the government..
The embassy intends to discourage Thi on
every possible occasion.
The country was quiet over the week-
end, but a teachers' strike with nation-
wide ramifications is scheduled to be
launched today. A local teachers' strike
sparked last week's riots.

4. Dominican Republic
5. Greece
What caused last night's exchange
of fire across the security zone is
still obscure. .
The embassy's first reaction was
that the fighting was initiated by the
rebels, but there is some reporting
which indicates that a mortar attack
from the Imbert lines started the whole
thing.
At any rate, there are extremists
on both sides who are quite capable of
doing so in the hopes of upsetting the
negotiations for a provisional govern- .
ment.
50X1
The negotiations seem to be creep-
ing toward ,a solution. At last report,
Imbert, finding that his military chiefs
endorse the latest proposals, intends to
endorse them too. He spoke of.announc-
ing this tomorrow. He may move tonight.
The King is weighing his next move.:
following the failure of Tsirimokos to
win a vote of confidence.
The King is not likely to be at-
tracted to Papandreou's 'proposal which
calls for elections in mid-November with
a service government running the country
in the interim. The King would prefer .
a much longer cooling off period before
an election takes place in which the mon-
archy could be an issue.
He may instead try to install a
government of nonpolitical technicians
or a coalition of all political parties'.
Neither would be palatable to Papandreou
Considering, however, that the area
of possible compromise has been narrowed
in the past few weeks, it is possible that
the King may choose to play his trump
card now rather than later. This would
be to turn to the military for a solution.

6. Kashmir
7. South Korea
. Indonesia
Fighting continues at severalpoints
along the cease-fire line in Kashmir,.
Indian forces are trying to slice
off a Pakistani salient near Uri and have
clashed again with Pakistani infiltra-
tors in the Vale of Kashmir (see map)..
So far, despite an outcry in New
Delhi, the Indian response to develop-
ments in Kashmir has been limited to.
coping with Pakistani infiltrators and
attacking their bases and lines of com-
munication just across the 'cease-fire
line.

the strong measures em-
ployed at the universities last week
have aroused strong disfavor among stu-
dents.
Further demonstrations are bein
planned for later in the week 50X1
. Korean security forces are 50X1
braced.
The detention last weekend of eight
retired generals for antigovernment ac-
tivity may cut down the willingness of
opposition politicians to incite and fi-
nance the students.
Some 125 officers and men loyal to
Laotian neutralist leader Kong Le have
arrived in Djakarta to begin a program
of military training under the Indonesian
Army.
It is clear from the way they were
received that indoctrination in anti-West-
ern attitudes will form an important Part
of the training. The Indonesians have
already launched a similar program for
some 30 Tanzanian soldiers, hoping to en-
list them in Sukarno's struggle against
the West.
