*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EDT)
The Military Situation in South Vietnam: Heavy
fighting was reported on 30 September between a 10-bat-
talion government task force and an estimated two Viet
Cong battalions in Dinh Tuong Province, 50 miles south-
west of Saigon. Sixty-eight Viet Cong were reported
killed, six captured, and 30 suspects detained, as
against friendly casualties of 24 killed (1 US) and 43,wounded
.(4 US), . Four helicopters supporting the.operation were
damaged by. intensive, enemy: ground fire;'.one. Vietnamese
river assault craft was sunk.arid another damaged.
Enemy resistance to sweep operations by a battal-
ion of US Marines, part of the amphibious assault op-
eration launched on 30 September by US Seventh Fleet
surface and air forces 40 miles south of Quang Ngai
City, has thus far been limited to sporadic small-arms
and automatic weapons fire.
Viet Cong losses in the operation to date stand at
25 captured; no US combat casualties have been reported.
In Binh Dinh Province, nine Vietnamese Army
battalions are continuing a search-and-destroy opera-
tion near the Phu Cu pass, with only light enemy con-
tact thus far although three Viet Cong regiments are
reported in the area. Meanwhile, northwest of Saigon,
ground follow-up operations to the ?29 September B-52
Stratofort:ress-strike in Tay Tinh Province continue, but
without significant results.

Political Developments in South. Vietnam: Premier
Ky, in a major press conference yesterday, announced
several previously anticipated military and cabinet changes
emphasizing in particular the replacement of General
Nguyen Huu Co as chief of the Joint General Staff and
Co's elevation to the rank of deputy premier with added
responsibilities as minister of war and reconstruction.
The appointment of a military officer, former armed
forces chief of operations General Nguyen Duc Thang, as
secretary of rural construction, rather than an earlier
designated civilian, may reflect last-minute urgings from
Ky's military colleagues.
eight SAM missile transporters were noted 25X1
at an army barracks in the Hanoi area. 25X1
It is possible that this area may be serving as a SAM
support facility which is a necessary component of SAM
d fenses for sustained missile o erations. 25X1

Military Developments In North Vietnam: At least
The major theme of Ky's hour-long report on his
first 100 days in office was one of confidence in blunting
the Viet Cong drive and in improved social and economic
conditions to be promoted in the "next 1,000 days." As
evidence of his government's intention to revitalize the
civil side of its struggle against the Communists, Ky
recently outlined to US officials plans for a pacification
program concentrating on three or four selected areas
of the country and on improved quality of pacification
workers and lines of authority.

*India-Pakistan: (Information as of 4:30 AM EDT)
Charges of violations of. the UN-sponsored India-
Pakistan cease-fire are continuing.
Throughout yesterday Radio Karachi reported
heavy fighting in progress in the Chhamb area of southern
Kashmir where Indian troops allegedly were attempting
to dislodge the Pakistanis from territory seized before
the cease-fire. Spokesmen in New Delhi, however,
denied any knowledge of hostilities in the Chhamb sector
but accused Pakistan of committing violations at nu-
merous other points along the cease-fire line.
Last night, the Pakistani representative to the
United Nations delivered a letter to Secretary General
Thant protesting what was termed India's "clear vio-
lation" of the cease-fire agreement and requesting U
Thant to inform the Security Council. In the UN Wed-
nesday, Pakistan charged that India had issued an
ultimatum demanding :Pakistan withdraw from the Chhamb
area within 24 hours, or face an Indian attack.
general staff feels that the cease-fire merely gave the
Indians time to regroup forces and that the only alterna-
tive to renewed all-out warfare is occupation of Kashmir
by a UN peace force
The British Government is instructing its UN
delegation that the situation is too unstable to permit
further progress toward settling the India-Pakistan
dispute until a troop withdrawal is achieved. The British
believe that the Security Council should insist on a with-
drawal, setting a time limit backed up by sanctions if
necessary.
the Pakistani
As of 30 September, 31 of the expected 117 UNIPOM
observers--responsible for the India-Pakistan border,
and 40 of the 79 observers pledged to UNMOGIP--respon-
sible for the Kashmir cease-fire line, had arrived.

The USSR is giving ostensible support for UN
efforts to alleviate the crisis in South Asia. In a 28 Sep-
tember conversation with UN Secretary General Thant,
however, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko reportedly
responded somewhat negatively to the proposed four-
power Security Council committee to assist U Thant in
implementing the resolutions concerning India and
Pakistan. Instead, he advocated acceptance of the pre-
viously reported Soviet offer for Kosygin's good offices)
The Deputy Chairman of the Indian Planning Com-
mission reportedly stated yesterday that if US wheat aid
under PL-480 is not available to India in sufficient quan-
tities, India may be forced to impose further rationing.
New Delhi, thus, appears to be preparing the Indian
public for possible US pressure to fo di oward a
