DAILY BRIEF
1 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. Communist China
2. Communist China
3.- USSR
On the political scene, the Chinese
Communists have now sent two stiff pro-
tests to London over alleged US use of
Hong Kong as a base of operations.for
the Vietnam war. The British are not
sure whether these warnings are in earn-
est, but they have asked for a postpone-
ment until further notice of the agree-
ment allowing increased use of Hong Kong
as a rest area for US troops.
50X1
another series of ballistic missile 50X1
firings is getting under way at the
Shuangchengtzu test range in northwest-
ern China.
Satellite photography on 18 and 22
August shows no signs of such activity,
but the Chinese probably can set ?up for
tests in only a few days. The missile
involved is probably a medium range one,
similar to a Soviet model.
The latest satellite photography
has revealed the existence of 16 new
single silos at Soviet intercontinental
ballistic missile complexes. All of
these silos apparently were started
this year, but they fill out groups
which had been identified previously at
the complexes.
The single silo count now stands at
174--none operational yet, although some
could be late this year. The Soviet
operational force at present consists
of 224 intercontinental missile launchers
in both hard and soft sites.

4. Kashmir
5. Pakistan
The danger of a full-blown war is
growing.
The Pakistanis are countering the
Indians' move across the Kashmir cease-
fire line with a thrust by their regu-
lar troops in an area southwest of the
city of Jammu (see map). The Pakistanis
may counterattack at other points as
well
The "retaliatory" Pakistani attack
may aim at cutting Indian supply lines.
Additional Pakistani reinforcements re-
portedly have been sent to the Kashmir
area.
The Indians claim that the Pakistanis
have used some 35 US-supplied Patton
tanks in the action. New Delhi has pro-
duced no proof as yet, but the Indian
chief of staff has invited the head of
the US military mission to go to Kashmir
to see for himself.
The Indians say they are not using
any US-supplied equipment and have no need
to do so in Kashmir. Ayub's speech to-
day nonetheless charges that India's "ag-
gression" is based on arms and aid from
"some of our friends and allies."
In New York, U Thant circulated an
informal memorandum on the situation to
Security Council members yesterday. He
said he was awaiting a report from the
United Nations field headquarters in
Kashmir before taking further action.
