DAILY BRIEF

1. Vietnam
2. North Vietnam
3. Congo
50X1
Hanoi yesterday rejected a request
by the International Control Commission
to allow one of its teams to resume
patrol activities in the Northeastern
sector of the Demilitarized Zone.
Road watchers near the Mu Gia Pass
have reported that truck movements be-
tween North Vietnam and Laos have in-
creased markedly in recent weeks. The
rate of individual truck traffic alone--
to say nothing of convoys--is double
that of the preceding four months.
Nobody has yet gotten the advan-
tage in the fighting in Kisangani
(Stanleyville). Supplies are short on
both sides and the commander of one unit
of several hundred Katangans has de-
clared his intention to stay out of the
battle.
In Kinshasa, Mobutu has taken on
another adversary. About 200 youths
trotted up to the Portuguese Embassy in
an orderly fashion this morning and
then proceeded to tear the embassy apart.
They burned cars, robbed private apart-
ments, and abducted three Portuguese,
including ?one woman.
The Congo delivered a letter to
the UN Security Council yesterday charg-
ing that Portugal was permitting pro-
Tshombe mercenaries to use Angola as an
operational base.

4. Guatemala
5. Mexico
Mexico has officially admitted for
the first time that the Cuban Embassy
in Mexico City has been involved with
Mexican revolutionaries. Foreign Minis-
ter Carillo Flores told Secretary of
State Rusk this week that Cuba had be-
haved badly in supplying arms to oppo-
nents of the government.
