DAILY BRIEF
15 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. India-Pakistan
the level of military activity has
apparently decreased.
The Indians, however, claim that
they have penetrated seven miles into
Pakistani territory in the Lahore area
and that Indian artillery can now hit
the Lahore airport. The Indians also
say that they have seized control of an
important rail line running southeast
from Sialkot. Pakistan maintains that
the fighting there is stalemated.
The deepest Pakistani penetration
has apparently been in the Chhamb sector.
New Delhi admits that Pakistan's forces
are 10 to 14 miles inside Indian Kashmir.
An Indian Foreign Office official
has informed the New Delhi embassy that
India has accepted U Thant's proposal
for an unconditional cease-fire as soon
as U Thant can confirm that Pakistan
will do the same. It would be too late,
however, to put this into effect as of
early morning tomorrow, as U Thant had
requested. The Indian 'official also
stated that the next step after a cease-
fire must be withdrawal under UN super-
vision to positions held by both coun-
tries as of 5 August.
Although Ayub has been displaying
some flexibility recently regarding the
timing of actions to occur subsequent to
a cease-fire, there is no sign of will-
ingness by Pakistan to relinquish its
demand for guarantee of an eventual
plebiscite in Kashmir. (See map.)

2. Rhodesia
3. South Vietnam
4. North Vietnam
Premier Ky presided over a ceremony
in the central highlands today to drama-
tize the swearing of allegiance to his
government by the several hundred dissi-
dent tribesmen who recently surrendered
to South Vietnamese troops (Briefs of 13
and 14 September).
The ceremony may help in the paci-
fication of the tribesmen who took part,
but the problem is likely to be a con-
tinuing one. Tribal dissatisfactions
run deep, as does government distrust of
the tribes.
The most explicit statement in some
time of Hanoi's anxiety over the effects
of US air strikes on public morale was
contained in a domestic broadcast on 11
September. The authorities expressed
dissatisfaction with the disorders ac-
companying evacuation drills in the north-
ern part of the country.

5. Soviet Bloc
6. West Germany
7, France
The Soviet leaders are in the midst
of a new series of talks in Moscow with
their East European counterparts. Top
Rumanian and Czech delegations have re-
cently returned home, and the East Ger-
mans are expected in town later in the
week. In addition, Brezhnev made a quick
trip to Poland over the weekend for a
meeting with Gomulka.
It is not clear what has prompted
this round of activity. The timing of
the consultations suggests that at least
in part they have some connection with
the Soviet Central Committee meeting at
the end of the month.
With three days to go before what
looks to be the closest election in
West Germany's history, about a quarter
of the electorate has not yet tipped its
hand to the pollsters. Chancellor Er-
hard and Mayor Brandt are winding up
their final series of rallies after a
rather dull campaign./
De Gaulle's first objective in his
attack against NATO will likely be the
elimination of the US military presence
in France.
A French Foreign Ministry official
has informed our Paris embassy that the
bilateral agreements between France and
the US on air bases and communications
are being reviewed in the light of De
Gaulle's intent to force the removal
of US troops. The official remarked
that France will insist that any discus-
sion of these agreements must be con-
ducted bilaterally.
The Frenchman also said that no
action is planned until after the presi-
dential election in December.
