DAILY BRIEF
1 NOVEMBER 1967
1. South Vietnam
2. Israel
3. South Arabia
4. Soviet Union
Police authorities in Hue say
they have learned that the militant
Buddhists are preparing to renew anti-
government activity there; this is to
include immolations. The local police,
who claim to have substantial evidence
of Viet Cong efforts to manipulate Bud-
dhist organizations in Hue, are taking
steps to head off serious trouble.
signs during the
past few days of a limited Israeli
call-up. Neither we nor they think
this is preliminary to an out-and-out
Israeli offensive. The more likely
reason is to improve Israel's military
posture should Egypt mount a strong
raid across the canal. A partial call-
up would also put the Israelis in a
better position to slap back in the
event of more terrorist raids from
Syria through Jordan.
The terrorists are now shooting
at anyone even faintly resembling a
British citizen. A number of Europeans
have been killed or wounded in recent
days and a US Consulate employee
barely es-
caped being gunned down late last week.

5. Soviet Union
We expect the Russians to unveil
both offensive and defensive missiles
at their anniversary parade next week.
A Soviet official has claimed as much,
and the US attach?eam in Moscow has
already spotted what appear to be sev-
eral new pieces of missile equipment
under canvas.
6. Nigeria Prospects for peace are not good.
7. Uruguay
On the military front, fede/4l
pressure against Biafra continues, but
the action has slowed down.
President Gestido has formed a new
cabinet in which most factions of his
divided party are represented. Gestido
should be able to dominate this group.
One faction of his party, however, will
probably refuse to give legislative sup-
port, and this will force Gestido to ne-
gotiate with the opposition for the
necessary votes to get his program
through Congress.

day, Pravda carried a full version, including the

Hanoi on South Vietnamese Inauguration: The
"Saigon election farce" culminated in an inaugura-
tion which took place in an "atmosphere of terror,"
according to a 31 October Hanoi English language
broadcast to Southeast Asia. The broadcast noted
that extreme security measures were taken and that
Vice President Humphrey was present to give "neces-
ary instructions" to the South Vietnamese. Accord-
ing to Hanoi, the inauguration cannot bring any
legal status or political stability to the "puppet
regime."
