DAILY BRIEF
10 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. India-Pakistan
Indian forces are withdrawing in
the face of a Pakistani counterattack
south and east from Lahore
The talk coming out of Karachi is
tough. Top officials insist that the
price of a cease-fire is an Indian with-
drawal from Kashmir and a plebiscite,
In New Delhi the tone is more moderate.
Defense Minister Chavan has reiterated
that India's aims are limited to ending
Pakistani incursions into Indian terri-
tory
A spokesmen in Rawalpindi says that
U Thant's talks "have not brought a cease-
fire any closer."

2. North Vietnam
3. Indonesia
4. Rhodesia
50X1
Communications intelligence indi-
cates that Soviet and Vietnamese person-
nel are jointly manning the communications
complex that was involved in the launch
of one or more missiles on 6 September.
Over-all control apparently is still in
Soviet hands.
The commanding general in Medan has
warned the US consul there to be braced
for demonstrations against the consulate
soon. The general also advised that
Americans working on rubber estates should
move to Medan as a safety precaution.
Authorities in Djakarta may be get-
ting ready to take over remaining pro-
ducing and refining assets of the three
Western oil companies still doing busi-
ness there. .Two--Caltex and Stanvac?are
US-owned.
Right-wing politicians are stepping
up the pressures for an early declaration
of independence from Britain.
50X1
There are signs that the pressure
is beginning to tell on Prime Minister
Ian Smith,who after a period of moderation,
is again talking about imminent independ-
ence..
If the Rhodesians do take the step,
it will upset the relative tranquility
of this part of Africa. African national-
ists throughout the area would seek in a
variety of ways to bring about the over-
throw of such a_white government.

7. Dominican Republic
The political crisis is back on
dead center following Papandreou's re-
jection of a conditional offer of elec-
tions from the right.
The King is now weighing his al-
ternatives and may next ask former dep-
uty prime minister Stephanopoulos to
form a coalition government of all par-
ties, excluding the Communists.
The King has been hoping through
a succession of proposed governments to
chip away Papandreou's parliamentary
support. As of now, Papandreou prob-
ably retains the votes to block a Stephan-
opoulos solution, too.
The Garcia Godoy provisional gov-
ernment gained public stature in the
ouster of General Wessin without fatally
impairing its standing with the military.
With Wessin out of the way, Garcia
Godoy can turn his attention to the dis-
armament of the rebel zone. This may
be an even tougher nut to crack, Com-
munists and other extremists in the
zone have made no secret of their in-
tention to keep their arms.
