DAILY BRIEF
3 JUNE 1966
1. South Vietnam
The resignation of Tam Chau, the
moderate chairman of the Buddhist In-
stitute, could signal a takeover of the
Buddhist leadership by its militant wing.
Chau has been under heavy pressure either
to go along with the militants' all-out
effort to bring down Ky or be expelled
from the Institute.
Chau's "resignation"--it is not clear
whether it has been formally accepted--
could be a ploy to bring the militants
into line. He has tried this gambit be-
fore, successfully, but we have some
doubt Ithat.he could carry it off now.
The director of the national police be-
lieves it will bring further violence.
Tri Quang is keeping up his anti-
government, anti-American fusillade.
This evening (Vietnam time) he said Bud- 50X1
dhists would be urged to boycott the
September elections./
Saigon, Hue, and Da Nang were quiet
today--Buddha's birthday.
50X1
First Division troops in the city
do appear to have collected some arms
and may have removed some barricades.
?The US consul, however, still questions
whether these troops can or will restore
the government's authority in Hue.

Juan Bosch
is upset over what
he calls "the election fraud." He
rattled off a list of alleged irregu-
larities, but said he does'not intend
to file an official protest over the
matter.
Bosch said he would accept the re-
sults of the election and control his
followers but warned that "sooner or
later" he will "have to inform the peo-
ple of the fraud." He also indicated
that he would not actively cooperate
with the incoming Balaguer government,
because if he did so, he "would lose the
moral authority which enables him to
control the people."
There have been no reports of trouble
in any part of the country today.
Antigovernment demonstrations broke
out in Panama City last night in connec-
tion with the death of a Communist stu-
dent leader. Further trouble is expected
in Colon later this afternoon and in the
capital tonight. The Communists hope to
exploit this alleged murder to the hilt,
but the Panamanian National Guard is pre-
pared to act quickly.

7. Soviet Union
Left-wing'extremists in Brussels .
are to demonstrate during the forthcom-
ing NATO meetings. The first of these
incidents may well come on Sunday, and
,the US Embassy is the most likely tar-
get. Belgian officials are promising
maximum protection to Secretary Rusk and
his party.
The Soviets are building what seems
to be anew class of large submarine..
Satellite photography of a shipyard near
Archangel shows a hull section with a
diameter larger than that of any known ?
Soviet submarine. ,This would be the
first new class since the diesel-powered
cruise missile J-class began to appear
in 1963.
