25 NOVEMBER 1966
1. North Vietnam
2. Communist China
The line-up of Chinese leaders at
today's Red Guard rally did little to
clear up the mystery of who is winning
out in the power struggle. Despite
grave charges made by the Guards only
? two days ago against Chief of State Lin
Shao-chi and party secretary Teng Hsiao-
ping, both men showed up with Mao and
the other leaders to watch one million

3. Jordan
. Laos
25 Nov 66
The Jordanian situation remains ex-
plosive, although the King survived a
potentially dangerous Moslem sabbath.
Whipped up by sermons at morning
prayers, Moslem worshippers broke from
mosques in the Jordanian sector of
Jerusalem today for another round of
riots against the King. Jordanian se-
curity forces opened fire and three
civilians were killed before things
calmed down. At last report, the streets
were quiet.
Nasir was very careful in his speech
yesterday. He could have inflamed the
situation; instead, he chose not to at-
tack King Husayn openly. Nasir
knows that
a revolution in Jordan might suck him
into a war with Israel--a war he prob-
ably would lose.
The small war goes on. With the
end of the rains, Communist troops have
begun sparring with friendly forces for
hilltop positions overlooking supply
routes in northern Laos. These are small
unit actions with limited objectives--
the Communists are reluctant to concen-
trate in large numbers because of in-
creasingly effective tactical airstrikes
against them.
