DAILY BRIEF
30 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. India-Pakistan
50X1
2. South Vietnam
U Thant says that the Soviet Union
is cool to the idea of a four-power com-
mittee to assist him in bringing peace
between India and Pakistan. The French
and British have responded favorably to
the proposal.
The Pakistanis have complained to-
day about another Indian attack, this
one on the Rajasthan-Sind border, south
of the main scene of previous actions.
A United Nations obServer has told our
embassy in Rawalpindi that the Indians
in fact are exerting considerable pres-
sure on the Pakistani positions
A large government search operation
near Phu Cu Pass in Binh Dinh Province
has failed to re-establish contact with
the three Viet Cong regiments believed
to be in this area.
The quickening tempo of Viet Cong
activity, evident over the past week or
so, has cost the Communists heavily.
Viet Cong casualties last week were more
numerous than in any other week since
the insurgency began. Over 1,250 were
killed, most of them by air action when
an enemy regiment was caught in the open.
In Saigon, Premier Ky is to announce
tomorrow long-pending changes in cabinet
and military posts. Most important among
them is the designation of Minister of
War Co as a deputy prime minister with
overall responsibility for reinvigorating
the pacification program. (See map.)

3. South Africa
4. Congo
5. Rhodesia
The South Africans are pushing proj-
ects to defend their "white redoubt"
against black African nationalism.
The most physically impressive of
these projects are five new airfields,
four of them in the northern portion 'of
sparsely inhabited South-West Africa
(see map). All of these fields are over
7,000 feet long, paved, and due to be
completed within\the next few months.
The South Africans insist that these
fields are for civil use, but their lo-
cation and size make this extremely doubt-
ful. The fields could be used not only
to defend South African territory, but
also to bring help to Rhodesia or the
Portuguese.
? Colonel Hoare's offensive to clean
out the last rebel stronghold in eastern
Congo is in its fifth day.
Hoare has taken his initial objec-
tive, but the rebels\
Shave fought stubbornly.
A rebel counterthrust against Al-
bertville, the government's main base
in the area, is still a possibility.
(See map.)
Ambassador Goldberg at the United
Nations observes that the question of
Rhodesian independence is one of the is-
sues on which feeling runs most deeply
among African and Asian delegates. He
fears their reaction may be even more
emotional than has been generally antici-
pated if the Rhodesian. whitesunilaterally
declare themselves independent of Great
Britain.

6. USSR
Our defense attach?n Moscow has '
observed a new type of missile at one of
the early-model surface-to-air missile
sites which form a double ring around
the city.
This sighting falls in with satel-
lite photography which has revealed large
new electronic installations at five
sites on the outer ring as well as the
addition of large revetments at most of
the sites, including the one where the
new missiles were seen.
7. Dominican Republic
extreme leftist groups are
planning terrorist attacks on US instal-
lations and personnel soon.
We now believe such terrorism to be a
serious possiblity.
