DAILY BRIEF
19 OCTOBER 1965
1. Indonesia
2. South Vietnam
an
open clash between the army and the Com-
munists in North Sumatra is inevitable.
Muslims and other groups in Sumatra
are bent on a'complete purge of the Com-
munists. Reports indicate that the army
is currently backing this effort. Other
reports say that armed Communist cadres
are concentrating in the area.
Sukarno is apparently about ready
to move back on center stage in an ef-
fort to reassert his authority.
There has still been no official
comment from Djakarta on Peking's charge
that Indonesian troops sacked the Chinese
Embassy on 16 October. The building it-
self seems to be undamaged and Ambassa-
dor Green now spedulates that the whole
affair may have been a Chinese gambit
to separate Sukarno from the army.
The organization representing some
of the dissident mountain tribesmen has
informed the government of the conditions
under which it would cooperate in the war
effort.
The group, which was not represented
at last month's formal swearing of alle-
giance to the government by some tribes-
men, insists on various forms of special
treatment. It asks for its own military
force under tribal command, but with
Vietnamese or US advisers, plus the right
to fly a montagnard flag alongside that
of South Vietnam.
The government is said to be ready
to discuss these terms, but is apparently
adamant against the flag idea.

ShaStri has told Ambassador Bowles
that he is interested in visiting the
US if the President really wants to
see him. Because Parliament will be
in session next month, Shastri could
not come until about 10 December.
Tshombe's political adherents are
maintaining their wary calm, anxious
that they not provide the pretext for
further action against the ousted prime
minister.
The drive to cut down Tshombe is
nevertheless likely to dominate the po-
litical scene for some time to come.
Violence is a distinct possibility be-
fore it is all over. At Annex is some
background information on Victor Nen-
daka, the principal organizer of the
anti-Tshombe drive.
Yesterday's coup attempt has been
put down; Bujumbura is now quiet.
It is still not clear what moti-
vated the plotters.r
Dissident tribal groups prob-
ably encouraged the mutineers.
The King now is reportedly in the
eastern Congo with some of his aides.
He had been A moderating influence over
the deep-seated tribal rivalries and
his return to Bujumbura will be essen-
tial to peace and order.
He may return sooni

? There may be another general strike
tomorrow. The Communist Party has told
its members to lead such an effort if
the labor dispute is not resolved today.
Secret negotiations are still under
way in an effort to reach a compromise
between labor's demand for a 50-percent
wage raise and the government's 25-per-
cent offer.
7. Dominican Republic A new crisis may .be in the making.
Garcia,Godoy has taken emergency meas-
ures to break the new wave of violence
in the capital today, but more outbreaks
may come at any time.
Late information suggests that rebel
sympathizers are preparing new aCtions.
One report. says that a general strike
is being planned also 50X1
alleges that a Communist-backed commando
group was re-formed today. 50X1
rebels may be preparing 50X1
to attack the national palace.
Some of the rebel leaders are re-
portedly going into hiding tonight. In
addition, Ambassador Bennett has warned
Garcia Godoy that Juan Bosch may be in
danger and that he should be persuaded
to take asylum in a foreign embassy.

ANNEX
Victor Nendaka
Victor Nendaka, the most powerful figure in
Premier-designate Kimba's proposed cabinet, is a
hard-working political organizer who up
to now has operated mainly behind the scenes. He
is one of a handful of Congolese (Tshombe is another)
adept at power politics. In fact, he appears to be
Tshombe's superior as a manipulator of the Congo's
political machinery, although he has so far shown
little of Tshombe's mass appeal.
Nendaka's home bailiwick is the northeastern
Congo, and he has been careful to maintain a politi-
cal base there. Before independence he was a fol-
lower of Lumumba, but broke with him in 1960 because
of Lumumba's leftist leanings. In September 1960
he became head of the National Surete, a job he held
until he was named interior minister in July 1965.
He used the Surete with considerable effectiveness
against the opponents of successive Leopoldville
regimes. He was instrumental in the suppression of
Communist-supported groups in the chaotic days of
1961 and 1962, and in the expulsion of the Soviet
Embassy staff in 1963.
In 1963 and 1964 Nendaka participated actively
in efforts to build
a pro-West national party. This party failed to de-
velop into an effective political force, and when
Kasavubu called Tshombe to the premiership in July
1964, Nendaka provided a crucial measure of support
to the new premier. He collaborated closely with
Tshombe in prosecuting the fight against the rebels.
In the national elections early this year he was
elected to parliament as a member of Tshombe's
party.
Gradually President Kasavubu began to realize
that Tshombe was after his job/
Nendaka may also
have developed a hankering for the premiership him-
self. At any rate, Kasavubu and Nendaka have been
allied since mid-1965 in a campaign to cut Tshombe
down.

ANNEX Cont'd)
Nendaka is now building a public image to com-
plement his power, and he has shown quick political
instincts in the process. He took,advantage of a
momentary setback to Tshomb4 in parliament late last
month to launch his own party in a blast of,,favor-
able publicity. While this party is composed of
heterogeneous elements, Nendaka has pulled it to-
gether so that it now poses an effective challenge
to Tshomb4./
