14 November 1964
DAILY BRIEF
Israel-Syria: Yesterday's clash along the Israeli-
Syrian border was the heaviest engagement in more
than two years.
According to the Israelis, the incident began when
the Syrians opened fire on an Israeli patrol. By the
time United Nations observers on the scene succeeded
in negotiating a cease-fire, tanks, heavy artillery and
Israeli aircraft had been involved. An Israeli Army
spokesman stated that the planes attacked Syrian bor-
der positions which had shelled Israeli settlements.
The Israelis claim to have destroyed two Syrian
tanks. The Syrians have admitted seven dead and 26
wounded. Tempers are aroused and any new flare-up
probably would result in increasingly serious fighting.
This is the first major clash since the recent for-
mation of the United Arab Command. There is no ev-
idence that any joint action is planned against the Is-
raelis in reaction to this incident, but the command
presumably has alerted other Arab forces. Egypt's
capability for any large-scale action against Israel
is seriously reduced by its involvement in Yemen.
The Jordan waters dispute did not have any di-
rect bearing on the clash, but sensitivity on both sides
over this issue may have contributed to tensions.
The tributaries the Arab states have threatened to
divert are near the site of the fighting.

Egypt: In a major speech on 12 November, di-
rected primarily to the home audience, Nasir de-
fended his domestic and foreign policies and empha-
sized Egypt's close relationship and dependence on
the Soviet bloc.
Nasir emphasized that Soviet aid is increasing
and favorably compared Soviet "low-cost" loans with
the West's high interest rates. US aid, he suggested,
was a bribe to dissuade him from foreign ventures.
The Egyptian President claimed that relations with
the US are good, but stressed his differences with
the US over Israel and Congo policy.
While affirming his desire for good relations
with Britain, he reiterated his intention to force the
British out of the Arabian Peninsula and to eliminate
foreign bases from the Near East, mentioning Aden,
Cyprus, and Libya.
In a further gesture toward the USSR, Nasir an-
nounced that Egyptian Communists had recently been
released from prison, just as capitalists and other
reactionaries had been freed earlier.

West Germany- [There is growing support in Bonn
for an early German decision on unified grain prices,
and the Germans have apparently accepted some de-
lay in the MLF].
CErhard authorized Adenauer, during the latter's
trip to Paris this week, to intimate that a favorable
French position on the recently announced Erhard
Plan for European political union would help E.rhard
come to grips with the grain price problem. Aden-
auer was apparently unsuccessful in ascertaining De
Gaulle's position on the Erhard Plan, but an effort
is being made in Bonn to prepare the ground domes-
tically so that the Germans can agree to a grain price
on 15 December.?
&he Bundestag leader of the Christian Democratic
Union (CDU), Rainer Barzel, however, says that the
government is in for a rough time with -the farmers
and the coalition Free Democratic Party. In his ap-
peal to these groups, Erhard wants to be able to say
that the future of Europe is at stake, but this tactic
will require a favorable French attitude on his Euro-
pean plan.]
LA-denauer was also authorized to mention to De
Gaulle that recent developments, particularly the
new British proposals, had removed the element of
urgency from the signing of the MLF. Barzel and
Minister Westrick in the chancellery have empha-
sized to US representatives that the CDU communi-
que of 11 November should not be interpreted as a
change in German policy on the MLF. The new Brit-
ish proposals would inevitably bring about some de-
lay in signing an agreement, and Barzel believes a

NOTES
USSR--UN: Foreign Minister Gromyko told Am-
bassador Kohler on 11 November that the USSR's po-
sition on the Article 19 question is "unchanged:'
Kohler received the impression that Gromyko's atti-
tude toward further informal talks with Secretary
Rusk and possibly his attendance at the General As-
sembly might be affected by the outcome of the Ar-
ticle 19 question. Gromyko contrasted the new So-
viet leaders' avowed intention to continue improving 25X1
US-Soviet relations with the US position on Article
19 which, he said, could "only result in increased
tensions.")
Brazil: en ion over mi i ary investigations
into subversion in Goias State may bring a showdown
between federal and state authorities in the next few
days. The government claims to have new evidence
linking Mauro Borges, the leftist governor of Goias,
and many state officials with Communist activities.
The charges against Borges already have strained
relations between the Castello Branco administra-
tion and the powerful Social Democratic Party, and
any attempt to oust the governor, however justified,
would add to the growing concern among politicians
over alleged undue military influence in political 25X1
25X1 matters.
