*Dominican Republic: (Information as of 4:30 AM
EDT) Sporadic sniper fire continues against US
forces and four more paratroopers were wounded late
yesterday, bringing total US casualty figures to eight
killed and 54 wounded.
The rebel government of Colonel Francisco
Caamano has moved swiftly in an effort to present
itself to the world as a non-Communist revolutionary
regime divorced of extremist influence. The slate of
cabinet officers named yesterday and the day before
includes some respected personalities of the moderate
left and only a few with unsavory reputations. Leaders
of the Communist and allied parties that played a
major role in fighting for the rebel cause appear to
be deliberately unrepresented among the posts thus
far announced.
There have been a number of reports that Com-
munist rebels have been dispersing during the past
day or two. Many seem to be slipping out of the rebel
areas of the capital and moving to the interior Of the
country. Although they are taking some weapons with
them, their main purpose seems to be to transfer
their cadres to the northern areas of the country where
arms are believed to be stored and where they could
feasibly be supplied by sea or air,
On the anti-rebel side, there has been little
progress toward the formation of the kind of broadly
based government that might have some success in
competing with the Caamano government for interna-
tional support. Loyalist military officers have ap-
parently agreed to accept General Antonio Imbert as
either a member or president of a junta, but the US
Embassy now believes it unlikely that responsible

civilian representatives of the country 's major politi-
cal currents can be prevailed upon to participate with
Imbert. The embassy is hopeful, however, that it may
be possible to form an essentially non-political junta
with three civilian "technicians" sharing positions on
the junta with Imbert and Colonel Benoit, the most
capable member of the present three man military
junta]
The Council of the Organization of American
States early today approved the US resolution on multi-
lateralization of the military forces in the Dominican
Republic. The vote was 14 in favor, one abstention
(Venezuela), and five opposed (Mexico, Chile, Peru,
Ecuador, and Uruguay). The Caamano regime achieved
a minor coup by having its appointed dele ate to the
OAS appear for accreditation.

France-NATO: Pe Gaulle is apparently continuing
to IzCy- the-groundwork for an eventual withdrawal from
NATO, and perhaps even a denunciation of the North
Atlantic Treaty itself]
According to a senior Foreign Ministry official,
the Quai d'Orsay was asked about six months ago by
De Gaulle's top military adviser to draw up a draft
treaty which could replace the North Atlantic Treaty.
He said the French hold the view that the denuncia-
tion of the treaty can take place as early as 1968 and
formal withdrawal in 1969. He thought, however, that
De Gaulle would not do anything spectacular with re-
gard to NATO before the December elections]
~arisl opposition to NATO and to participation in
integrated commands such as SHAPE has long been
clear. The official said it was difficult to imagine
how these structures could be scrapped, as De
Gaulle desires, without undercutting the treaty itself)
[The official said that presently the general line
of French policy is to reduce the US military presence
in France without precipitating a major confrontation.
Paris is currently examining American military es-
tablishments in France with a view to asking the US
to evacuate some of the less important ones LF

Congo (Brazzaville) - USSR: The USSR is in-
creasingly involved in arming and training Brazza-
ville's armed services.
MEN
There is now good evidence that Moscow on three
occasions this year has delivered arms, military
vehicles, and engineering equipment to the Congo.
The heavy military equipment, including some 20
antitank guns and several vehicles which recently
arrived in Brazzaville, was evidently off loaded from
the Soviet ships Ristna and Pyarnu, both of which
are now known to have docked at Pointe Noire last
month. Another arms shipment, including mortars,
antiaircraft weapons, and communicationseequipment,
arrived last January on the Soviet vessel Vyru.
The 1,350-man Brazzaville army lacks the
necessary organization and training to operate this
equipment. The ten to 20-man Soviet training mis-
sion may soon be enlarged for this purpose.
Peiping still remains more influential than Moscow.
in Brazzaville. Two Chinese shipments of small arms
have apparently arrived since last fall, and there are
reportedly some ten to 20 Chinese military advisers

on
Bulgaria The trial of the antiregime plotters,
reportedly to take place soon, will probably have
strong anti-Western and anti-Chinese overtones.
This tactic is probably intended to divert public
attention from persistent rumors that the conspirators
were nationalist and anti-Soviet in outlook. Accord-
ing to the US Legation, a middle-level Bulgarian
party source has stated that the Chinese ambassador
is to be implicated.
Foreign Mnistry official Krustev is likely to be
made the chief scapegoat. In addition, the French
-Embassy reports that two previously unnamed officials
--General Buchvarov and his deputy- -are under arrest.
Buchvarov, a central committee member, was relieved
last December from an important post in the party ap-
paratus.
Various reports indicate from eight to 15 Bul-
garians in all will be tried. I

NOTES
India- Pakistan: The Rann of Kutch situation re-
mains essentially unchanged. Each side now admits
to the existence of a de facto cease-fire, and is avoid-
ing any new provocative activity. At the same time,
both countries are keeping their military forces in a
high state of alert. The most immediate differences
concern the type and extent of proposed withdrawals
from the line of engagement in the Rann. In New
Delhi, Shastri is under new fire in parliament for
Karachi, Ayub Khan has renewed his off er to u
i s r ng y cri ica o
the US position on the Dominican Republic. Foreign
Minister Valdes has publicly taken exception to US
actions and there have been some violent anti-Ameri-
can student demonstrations in Santiago. Ambassador
Harriman may get a hostile reception when he arrive,

Cyprus: Turkey is setting the stage for a major j
effort to achieve progress on the Cyprus dispute at
next week's NATO meeting in London. Turkish 0
leaders in both Ankara and Nicosia claim that this j
will constitue a "final" attempt to settle the problem j
within the context of Turkey's Western orientation.
Ambassador Hare, in Ankara, notes that the Urguplu 0

that failure to achieve progress could bring extensive
changes in Turkey's international position,
