DAILY BRIEF
1 JUNE l963
South Vietnam
We have had no further information
on the political situation since Ambassa-
dor Lodge reported (this evening, Saigon
time) on Ky's claim that the Buddhists
have finally agreed to call off their
campaign. The ambassador ended his cable
by saying that "it all sounds too good
to be true and we will need to await fur-
ther developments,"
Later in the evening, the govern-
ment radio announced plans for the en-
largement of the directorate, as Ky had
promised, and stated that the change would
become effective on Monday. Still later
tonight, however, there was another large
Buddhist demonstration in the capital,
although not a particularly troublesome
one;
In fact, we are not sure that the
Buddhists' understanding of their agree-
ment with Ky is the same as his Some
of them are still making noises about
his stepping down.
Moreover, it is questionable how
the Buddhists will react to events today
in the north. Ky has given orders to
I Corps commander Lam to use First Di-
vision troops to restore order in Hue.
General Westmoreland has been informed
that these troops will begin to move in
early tomorrow morning, An airborne bat-
talion is scheduled to move from Da Nang
to a position near Hue where it will
serve as a reserve for the other troops.
Earlier in the day, there were re-
ports that a South Vietnamese engineer
battalion known to be siding with the
struggle forces was engaged in mining an
important bridge between Hue and Da Nang.
General Westmoreland has ordered General
Walt to move in here and take over.

Voter turnout has been heavy through-
out the day and, so far, there have been
no reports of serious incidents. The
weather has been generally good, with
light showers reported in some areas.
The polls close at 7:00 p.m. Wash-
ington time. Election officials promise
to have a complete unofficial tally by
early tomorrow evening. By late this
afternoon there were no preliminary re-
turns.?

Communist insurgents are reacting
aggressively to stepped-up government
patrolling in the northeastern 'part.',of-.-
the country (see map). Insurgents have
attacked government forces in three
widely separated points in the northeast
in recent weeks. An estimated 100 in-
surgents tockpartjn one of the attacks,
the largest to date.
Mrs. Gandhi has been moving ener-
getically to win a dominant position
over the older, more doctrinaire leaders
of the Congress Party and to strengthen
her role as a national leader. In Am-
bassador Bowles' opinion, her success
along these lines was the most signifi-
cant development of the recent national
meeting of party leaders.
Communal tensions are rising again,
further dimming hopes for next'week's
scheduled meeting between the Greek and
Turkish foreign ministers.
Makarios is reported determined to
show who is boss and threatens to im-
pose new restrictions on the Turkish
Cypriots if their "provocations" con-
tinue. Ankara's efforts to improve liv-
ing conditions in the Turkish enclaves
are described by Makarios people as
merely attempts to perpetuate de facto
partition of the island.

7. Nigeria Serious rioting erupted again today
in at least one town in northern Nigeria.
8. Panama
Many southerners in
the town had been injured and many houses
were burning.
This is presumably a sequel to the
bloody rioting of last weekend.)
