South Vietnam 2, Vietnam 3. West Germany 4. Chile Co's sacking has now become widely known in Saigon, a general uneasiness in the city. Po- lice Director Loan, Ky's righthand man, has locked up or is watching some 30 middle-grade 8fficers thought to be sup- porters of Co. It is not clear on whose authority Loan is acting--his own, Ky's, or-Thieu's. Our roadwatchers near the,Mu Gia Pass and in the Laotian panhandle have been sighting large numbers of south- bound trucks. During one 15-day period this month, the number of trucks seen going through the Pass was as high as any reported during last year's dry season. In the panhandle, nearly 225 trucks were seen during a five-day period. Still hopping mad about the-Sen- ate's refusal to let him visit the US, President Frei has said he will not ask for permission to go abroad--in- cluding the American summit meeting-- until the whole question of approval is resolved and a visit to Washington is cleared. 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A004900390001-1 "???

Egypt 25 Jan 67 The initial Israeli-Syrian meet- ing today on the dispute over cultiva- tion in the Demilitarized Zone did not result in any real progress toward ac- commodation. Another meeting is sched- uled for Sunday. Nasir may soon throw a lamb's skin over his efforts to unseat conservative Arab regimes such as those in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A004900390001-1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A004900390001-1 5UX1 8. Communist China 25 Jan 67 Mao apparently feels the opposition has grown so strong that he must play what may be his last trump--the army has finally been ordered to move against anti-Maoists. If the army fails to respond wholeheartedly, then Mao is in serious trouble indeed. The Soviets, meanwhile, are doing their best to whip up unrest among tribal minorities in Western China. Soviet broadcasts to this area are venomously anti-Chinese and the Russians are giving great play to Peking's "per- secution" of the non-Chinese who live in the area. 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A004900390001-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A004900390001-1 Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A004900390001-1
