DAILY BRIEF
*North Vietnam - US: Free World reaction to the
US air strikes has ranged from full support from most
of the major pro-Western nations to condemnation
from some of the neutralist countries.. The dominant
theme in press and radio commentary has been a
general apprehension that the crisis might become
more widespread.
In London, strong support for the US action came
from Foreign Secretary Butler who backed, the right
of US warships to defend themselves against "unpro-
voked aggression" in international waters. Prime
Minister Douglas-Home was expected to issue an of-
ficial statement on the crisis today. The back-Amer-
ica theme ran prominently in both conservative and
left-wing dailies.
In Paris, government spokesmen have refrained
from comment on any aspect of the crisis, although
UN Ambassador Roger Seydoux has officially backed
the Soviet call for participation by North Vietnam in
Security Council discussions of the incidents Presi-
dent De Gaulle has instructed his Foreign Minister
and Ambassador Seydoux to assemble a dossier on
the "true facts."
West German officials have expressed their grave
concern over the situation while pledging full support
for the US. President Johnson's action received
unanimous praise in the West German press which
described the North Vietnamese attack as a deliberate
provocation and the US response "quiet and sober."

The Italian government has not yet taken an of -
ficial position but Premier Aldo Moro is reported
studying the possibility of including a statement af -
firming Italian solidarity with the US in today's parlia-
mentary debate on his left-of-center government.
Reaction from other European. capitals and Ottawa
was sympathetic and understanding.
In the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, the
Philippines, Nationalist China, South Korea, Malaysia,
and Thailand have given firm support to the US meas-
ures, An official Japanese government statement in-
dicated that a US response was "inevitable." SEATO
representatives in Bangkok privately approved the
action following a briefing by US representatives. No
official reaction has been received from Cambodia,
Burma, or Indonesia. However, the leftist press in
Cambodia charged the US with provocation and aggres-
sion, and Indonesian officials privately displayed
serious concern and dismay at the US action. Indian
officials expressed "grave concern" prior to attending
a special cabinet meeting called to discuss President
Johnson1s message.
Representatives of most of the African nations
were non-committal when presented with the text of
the President's statement. However, South Africa's
Acting Foreign, Secretary assured the US ambassador
of his nation's full support. Officials of Dahomey,
Sudan, Nigeria, and Nairobi expressed an understand-
ing of the US action. The Ghanaian press strongly
condemned US "imperialism" and military involvement
in Southeast Asia. Algerian students attempted to
demonstrate in front of the US Embassy but were dis-
persed by the police,
Only two Latin American governments have reacted
thus far: high-level spokesmen for the Dominican and
Venezuelan governments have expressed, their strong
sympathy and support for the US position. No reaction
has been reported from the Middle .East.

*Congo: Stanleyville apparently is under rebel
control.
Yesterday insurgents were broadcasting from the
radio tower at Stanleyville airport, the Congo National
Army (ANC) headquarters lost radio contact with the
city, and a UN representative in Stanleyville told
Leopoldville that the ANC had fled. The US Consulate
was attacked, but the occupants so far are not in rebel
hands
If the rebels consolidate, the city's capture will
have far reaching consequences. An insurgent regime
based in Stanleyville is likely to be declared., Bukavu
is almost certain to fall, and Congo National Army
(ANC) units throughout the eastern Congo probably will
dissolve. Included in the dissolution will be three of
the ANC's five least unsatisfactory battalions.
Bukavu's capture would probably be closely followed
by an invasion of nearby Hutu-dominated Rwanda by
Tutsi refugees who make up a sizable proportion of the
rebels surrounding Bukavu. The refugees, now well
armed with weapons from the ANC, are eager to re-
establish their dominance in Rwanda. Units of the small
Rwandan army reportedly are gathering at the border
to meet the expected incursion.
The shock of the news from the east is certain to
reverberate in Leopoldville, and perhaps cause Presi-
dent Kasavubu to have second thoughts about the ad-
visability of retaining Tshomb6 as premier. However,
it is unlikely for the time being that he will seriously
consider an alternative.
To maintain his position, Tshomb6 reportedly is
planning to up his calls for outside assistance. He is
likely to try to augment the white mercenaries report-
edly slated to lead. his gendarmes--now being committed
in Katanga--by asking Belgium to provide additional

military advisors. Belgium apparently is willing to
respond favorably to this request. Were Tshomb6 to
ask Belgium for troops, however, it is probable that
at the present time he would be rebuffed.

Tshomb6ls chances of containing the rebellions
may not be as dark as they currently seem. The rebels
continue to be weak and divided., and have been suc-
cessful so far principally because of the paucity of
opposition. It seems unlikely at present that the dis-
sident regime probably to be set up in Stanleyville will
have effective co rol over either its territory or its
followers. I I

Cyprus: l--The Greek Government is concerned
over Makarios' drift to the left and the erosion of its
influence in Cyprus 1
Greek officials are reportedly greatly angered
by recent press leaks by Makarios. They evidently
feel these leaks have implied that Greece is selling
out the Greek Cypriots and they fear that the prospects
for enosis have been damaged. The Greeks are also
concerned that Makarios will look to local and for-
eign Communists for support 'n order to free him-
self from Athens' influence-
Former EOKA leader George Grivas, recently
named commander in chief of the Greek Cypriot
forces, flew to Athens yesterday for consultations
with Greek leaders. They will probably consider
what action should be taken in dealing with Makarios7
Athens may now feel that time is not only against
Turkey but against Greece as well. Immediate eno.sis
is almost certainly the solution favored by the Greeks.
However, Athens does not yet appear willing to make
the concessions necessary to gain Turkey's acquies-
cence in such a solution

NOTES
OAS- Cuba: None of the four Latin American coun-
tries that still have diplomatic relations with Cuba
are likely to break these relations any time soon in
compliance with the recent OAS resolution. Accord-
ing to the Bolivian foreign minister, President Paz
has decided that Bolivia would not be the first country
to take the step. Of the other three, Mexico has pub-
licly stated that it will not break with Havana, Chile
will do nothing until after the September elections,
and Uruguay has undertaken what will probably be a

prolonged, "formal stud " of the matter.
home minister may delay resumption of high-level
talks between India and Pakistan. The minister had
been scheduled to hold talks with his Indian opposite
number before the end of the month as a prelude to
a meeting between Prime Minister Shastri and Pres-
ident Ayub in September. Pakistani Foreign Minister, 25X1
Bhutto is reported considering sending an invitation
to the new Indian minister of external affairs, Swaran
Singh, in an effort to keep the dialogue alive.
