*Dominican Republic: (Information as of 0430
EDT Sporadic fighting continues despite the signing
of a cease-fire agreement yesterday afternoon, and
US officials are not sanguine that the agreement will
be upheld.
Rebel forces improved their strategic position in
the capital yesterday, capturing an important military
fortress in downtown Santo Domingo. Many of the
several hundred loyalist police and army defenders
who had been holed up there reportedly were captured
and executed by the rebels.
[US military forces in the Dominican Republic now
total 1,580 Marines and 2,150 troops of the 82nd Air-
borne Division The Marines have established a
phase line between the US Embassy and the rebel-con-
trolled area of the city as part of an effort to establish
a "neutral zone" for the safety of those non-Domini-
cans remaining in Santo Domingo. Elements of the
82nd Airborne Division have secured the east bank of
the Ozama River.
Confirmed US casualties so far total one Marine
killed in action and 18 military personnel wounded.)
OAS Secretary-General Mora was expected to
arrive in Santo Domingo today to explore possible ap-
proaches for a peaceful settlement. Meanwhile, a
meeting of OAS foreign ministers is scheduled to
begin this mornin in Washington to consider the Do-
minican crisis. There are indications that several
nations, probably including Venezuela, Chile, and
perhaps Uruguay, may denounce the US military in-
tervention in the Dominican situation during the course

to designate a commission to perform a factfinding

CA separate effort to end the Dominican fighting is
being undertaken by Costa Rican ex-president Jose
These
Juan Bosch to convince him to stop the fighting and.
opt for a temporary OAS trusteeship over the Domini-
can Republic. Bosch, however, evidently still re-
fuses publicly to urge an end to the fighting or to back
down on his claims that the rebels now form the "con-

Air Strikes: Two strikes by carrier-based air-
craft on 30 April inflicted heavy damage on supply
dumps in North Vietnam. Other strikes scheduled for
30 April were cancelled or postponed because of ad-
verse weather conditions. All aircraft returned safely.
The Phu (dui ammunition depot was attacked by
some 50 aircraft and pilots report that 28 of the 33
buildings in the complex were either damaged or de-
stroyed. The Thien Linh Dong Supply Depot just south
of Thanh Hoa was attacked by about 50 aircraft; initial
photographic analysis and pilot reports indicate that
the installation was 85 percent destroyed.
(Hanoi is taking additional measures to counter the
effects of recent air strikes on transportation routes
leading to central Laos and South Vietnam, Newly con-
structed staging, rest and refueling point along a 15
mile stretch of Routes 12 and 101 have been detected in
recent photography. Eighteen such areas have been
discovered thus far, nine on each route.

Before being driven off by a government relief force,
the Viet Cong reportedly killed 16 government troops
and wounded 14p Villagers in the area claimed that the
guerrillas carried off 70 to 80 dead of their own.
Photography of 26 April now indicates that the two
antiaircraft sites spotted near the capital of Quang Tin
Province in the northern part of the country are for
heavy machine guns and automatic weapons. Earlier
photography had suggested that at least one of the sites
was an emplacement for 37-mm antiaircraft artillery,

Viet Cong may plan to step up terrorism in the Da Nang
area between Workers Day on 1 May and 7 May, the
anniversary of the fall of Dien Bien Phu, Communist
plans allegedly call for a terrorist group to slip into
the town of Da Nang, and possibly to attempt to pene-
trate the air base.
olitical Developments: Polish Premier Cyran-
kiewicz recently expressed the view that US tactics
may eventually make Hanoi more receptive to the idea
of talks. Cyrankiewicz believes negotiations of some
kind for a "two Vietnam" solution might be possible
next fall. Cyrankiewicz claimed Peiping wants neither
negotiations nor a settlement. Soviet influence in Hanoi
has been somewhat increased since Kosygin's visit but
efforts by Moscow to obtain effective control are reap-
ing only slow progress

The 29 April joint Soviet-French communique,
issued at the conclusion of Foreign Minister Gromyko's
talks in Paris, underscored Moscow's cautious stand
regarding a Cambodian conference. Without making
any commitment for future action, the communique
simply took note of the recent US and UK agreement to
hold a Cambodian conference, and noted that Moscow
and Paris had earlier advocated such a conference.
The USSR as yet has made no formal reply to the UK
on the question of a co-chairman invitation to a Cam-
bodian conference.
The Soviets and French agreed that the only way
to solve the problems of Indochina was by returning to
the 1954 and 1962 Geneva Agreements, which specified
"the impermissibility of foreign interference" in the
domestic affairs of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
The People's Revolutionary Party--the South Viet-
namese wing of the Vietnam Communist party--in a
broadcast over the Liberation Front radio on 25 April
described the Party's objective as the creation of a
"people's democratic government under our party's
leadership." This is the first time the South Vietnamese
Communists have publicly admitted that they, not the
catch-all Liberation Front, will actually play the lead-
ing role in a future coalition government.
The summary of a 1 May People's Daily editorial
restates Peiping's previous conditional offer to send
men to Vietnam in language which appears designed to
convey the idea that the dispatch of "volunteers" is a
foregone conclusion. Repeating previous pledges that
China is determined to "spare no efforts" in aiding the
Vietnamese, it stated that China will support the Viet-
namese "people" with whatever else they need "until
our men are dispatched to fight" with the Vietnamese
to drive out the US

India-Pakistan: [British Prime Minister Wilson
may be making progress toward brining about a de
facto cease-fire in the Rann of Kutch
-in his second appeal to both sides, Wilson yester-
day suggested an immediate cease-fire and a one-week
standstill, during which details for a more enduring
cease-fire could be worked out. This would include a
crash effort to work out an agreed version of the
status quo ants
[n his response, President Ayub noted that he had
directed his forces in the Kutch area "not to do any-
thing that might aggravate the present situation." He
added that if the Indians would be willing to issue
similar instructions, "there is no reason why the
present lull... should not be maintained until agree-
ment can be reached on conditions of a cease=fire.
[While restating Pakistan's position on the dispute,
Ayub noted that his previous experiences with the
Indians on cease-fire matters had been "far from
happy,''
[The British high commissioner to Pakistan has
flown to India to discuss Wilson's appeal and Pakistan's
response with Indian officials,
[Meanwhile, Pakistani troops have reportedly been
put on alert in reaction to signs of Indian contingency
planning for action elsewhere on the India-Pakistan
borders
