DAILY BRIEF
4 OCTOBER 1965
1. Indonesia
2. South Vietnam
Sukarno is reasserting his authority,
but he has probably lost some ground as
a result of the 30 September coup try.
His actions so far seem designed to
try to turn the clock back and restore
such balance between contending forces
as existed before last Thursday. Su-
karno's moves have left the generals un-
satisfied, but they have not directly
challenged his decisions.
General Suharto, who is charged with
keeping order, came close today when he
publicly differed with Sukarno on how
deeply the air force was involved in the
coup attempt. In addition, some army
leaders now seem convinced that Sukarno
was himself involved in plotting against
them.
Although Sukarno has brushed aside
such suggestions, there is considerable
feeling in army circles that now is the
time to roll up the Communists. Army
feelings have been aroused by the mur-
der of the respected General Jani and
five other senior officers.
An anti-Communist demonstration has
been scheduled tomorrow in Djakarta, but
it remains to be seen whether stronger
measures will be taken.
Djakarta itself was calm today as
were the provincial capitals. The situ-
ation continues delicate in central Java
where a dwindling rebel force of some
110 under Colonel Untung is still at
large. Armed Communists are operating
in this area, too.
Heavy fighting has occurred again
in the Phu Cu Pass area of central South
Vietnam. A Viet Cong force attacked
government troops repairing a bridge,
inflicting relatively heavy casualties.
Premier Ky began a three-day of
visit to Malaysia today. This is
part of Ky's effort to develop stronger
ties with other anti-Communist Asian
governments.

3. India-Pakistan
The dispute stayed on dead center
today. No major clashes were reported
along the present cease-fire line, al-
though the usual complaints of minor
violations were registered by both sides.
Further manifestations against Ameri-
cans in Pakistan may be coming.r
warns that
anti-Americanism has risen to a dangerous
level.
4. Japan The Diet session opening tomorrow
will debate the Japan-Korea Treaty.
5. Communist China
6, Israel
Some violence may result, but the
embassy in Tokyo does not believe that
matters will get out of hand.
The Israelis charge that Jordan-
based Fatah terrorists have struck into
Israel twelve times since the last Is-
raeli reprisal. The Israelis are hint-
ing at another, and perhaps more damag-
ing, raid into Jordan. The Jordanians
say this could trigger a countermove by
the Jordan Army.

The committee from the Organization
of American States has urged provisional
president Garcia Godoy to speed up the
collection of rebel arms and the reinte-
gration of the rebel military.
A leading spokesman for the Bosch
cause, Pena Gomez, told Ambassador Ben-
nett today that the arms collection pro-
gram was "almosta total failure" since
no more than three of four weapons were
extracted from each rebel group. He
gave Caamano good marks for trying.
Garcia Godoy planned to send the
first government police patrols into the
rebel zone today, but there is as yet
no word that he actually did so.
The Soviet lunar probe launched this
morning looks like another attempt to
soft-land an instrument package on the
moon. This is the sixth Soviet lunar
probe attempt this year, indicating that
the Soviet moon program retains high pri-
ority despite repeated failures.
