LATE ITEM
The Thieu-Ky rivalry for the presi-
dency may have been resolved today. Ky 50X1
has agreed
to run as the vice
presidential candidate on a ticket
headed by Thieu.
The agreement was finally hammered
out and announced a few hours ago by the
military members of the Directorate.
Further portions of the agreement
are as yet unclear. Both men are ap-
parently to resign from the military
service and campaign as civilians.
They may also have to give up their
government jobs in favor of a care-
taker regime led by their associates
in the military.

DAILY BRIEF
30 JUNE 1967
1. United Nations
Israel's unilateral moves in Jeru-
salem threaten to backfire in the UN.
A number of uncommitted delegations are
now veering toward the resolution sub-
mitted on Wednesday by the "nonaligned"
states.
The Arabs and the Soviets have
adopted the "nonaligned" resolution as
their fallback position and are pressing
for an early vote. A new resolution now
being pushed by the Latin Americans, how-
ever, may yet become an alternative that
could result in the defeat of the "non-
aligned" resolution.
The "municipal fusion" of Jerusalem
has deepened the division between the
hawks and the doves in Israel. Defense
Minister Dayan, leader of the hard-
liners, is contemptuous of the UN and de-
termined to keep it from having an impor-
tant influence on the settlement.
2. Soviet Union Kosygin is scheduled to leave Cuba
for Paris this morning. /
/press stories that this must
have been a rather uncomfortable con-
frontation for the Soviet leader.

October, probably for a fly-by mission.

Robles' opponents have already
opened up their campaign against the
Canal treaties. As expected, Arnulfo
Arias is leading the charge, accusing
Robles of selling the country's sov-
ereignty. Robles is in for a long
summer; his biggest job will be to
keep the rabblerousers from getting
the upper hand. He seems to be off
to .a good start.
The Panamanian press, meanwhile,
is beginning to talk about US Congres-
sional opposition to the treaties.
President Barrientos is in trouble.
His forces have not yet been able to
re-establish control over the tin miners
who rebelled last week. The guerrilla
problem drags on indecisively. Opposi-
tion parties are beginning to exploit
the government's weakness; student and
worker agitators may soon get in on the
act. If these trends continue much
longer, the military may be tempted to
throw Barrientos out.
Rangoon was quiet yesterday after
several days of bloody anti-Chinese
violence. In Peking, meanwhile, the
standard Red Guard demonstrations have
begun around the Burmese Embassy and
straw ?figures of General Ne Win were
set afire on the embassy gates.
If the Peking demonstrations do
not set off a new round of rioting in
Rangoon, tempers may gradually simmer
down. It will be a long time, however,
before the scars are healed.
