MAJOR PROBLEMS
VIETNAM
It now develops that Thieu's assistant for. legislative
liaison--Nguyen Cao Thang--was behind., the recent no confidence
motion against Prime Minister Huong in the lower house. Thang
and Huong have long been political enemies but what set Thang
off this time was the promulgation of higher taxes on pharma-
ceutical products. Thang is a wealthy pharmaceutical importer.
The no confidence motion is not expected to get anywhere
in the upper' house,. but the incident provides yet' another ex-
ample of Thieu's problems in harnesing_the disparate and 'of-
ten contending elements which support him. Huong. will most
likely weather this latest storm, but .growing criticism of his
performance may. soon .prompt Thieu to ?make major changes.
MIDDLE EAST

Egyptian Air Force officers_ think they will need 400
trained pilots :before they can hope to gain air superiority in
any offensive against Israel. At present, .however, there are
at most only 12.0. A number of Egyptians. are being trained in
the Soviet Union, .but it will be months before they can be
considered combat-ready..
An oil pipeline in the Israeli port of Haifa was blown
up this morning, according to Jerusalem radio.
