DAILY BRIEF
5 JANUARY 1967
1. Communist China
2. North Vietnam
3. North Vietnam
Mid-December photography of the
Chinese missile test range (see photo)
shows that launch complex "B" is now
complete. Construction on this site,
which we have monitored for over a
year, has been extremely rapid even by
US or Soviet standards.
We have seen no indication that
Hanoi has changed its price for peace
negotiations, despite the recent flurry
of statements designed to put a better
face on the North Vietnamese position.
The latest of these was made at a
press luncheon today in Paris by the
senior North Vietnamese representative,
who said Hanoi would "study" the matter--
if the US "finally and unconditionally"
stopped bombing. He gave the standard
exposition of Hanoi's four points and
the National Liberation Front's five.
There was no suggestion of any conces-
sions by the North Vietnamese.

Mao has now, for the first time in
the long .struggle within the leadership,
-personally entered the ring And may be
trying for a quick Aknockout; against Liu
Shao-chi and Teng'Hsiao-ping.
According to posters and Red Guard
newspapers seen yesterday and :today by
foreign newsmen in Peking, Mao personally
attacked both of these persons. Mao is
said to have complained bitterly that
they forced him out as chief of state in
1958 and have treated him like a "de-
ceased parent" ever 'since. Although Mao
did indeed turn the ceremonial office
over to Liu after the "people's communes"
lunacy collapsed in 1958, this charge is
?a patent fabrication.
With Mao's prestige now formally on
the line, those attacking Liu and Teng
are under pressure to finish a job they
have so far been unable to carry out.
A storm may be brewing over ?a ship-
ment of Czech arms that arrived on the
island last November. Makarios had se-
cretly purchased the arms for his Greek
Cypriot police force.
At that time, both Turkey and Greece
screamed loudly, Makarios put the arms
in storage subject to UN "inspection,"
and the Czechs suspended further ship-
ments. Ankara, still upset, now wants
them put under UN "custody" and finally
withdrawn. The Turks are muttering about
providing the Turkish Cypriots with
"equivalent arms" if their demands are
not met.
However, the police units for whom
they were intended will be well enough
trained by late February to use the arms,
and we believe Makarios will bring them
out of storage at that time.

6. Congo
Mobutu, under prodding from the US
Embassy, has backed down a bit in his
potentially ruinous quarrel with Union
Miniere. He now seems willing to work
toward an agreement, but most of his con-
ditions are likely to be rejected by the
company.
7. Jordan The poker game to keep other Arab
troops out of Jordan continues.
8. Guyana
9. Nigeria
5 Jan 67
The coalition government set up in
1964 to keep the pro-Communist demagogue
Cheddi Jagan out of power is developing
some cracks.
Prime Minister Burnham and his
junior coalition partner, the finance
minister, are at loggerheads over both
policy and personal matters.
Gowon and Ojukwu behaved "like of
and gentlemen" at yesterday's meeting
in Accra. All participants are said to
be "greatly relaxed," and another session
was held today. So far, however, the only
agreement reached has been not to settle s
their disputes by force.
