*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EST)
Military Situation in South Vietnam: Only light
fighting has been reported in the past 24 hours.
Two companies of Viet Cong troops attacked a
South Vietnamese outpost in Vinh Long Province yes-
terday, killing 15 defenders and wounding 13. A gov-
ernment reaction force lost 14 killed and nine wounded
as it moved in to reinforce the beleaguered outpost.
Communist losses are not known.
The lull in heavy fighting in Tay Ninh Province
continues, although the enemy downed three US heli-
copters redeploying troops in the Operation ATTLE-
BORO area yesterday. US troops are continuing to
capture significant amounts of enemy foodstuffs and
military supplies as a result of the month old sweep
in the Communists' War Zone "C . " (Map)
Other Developments: The Communists are
starting to repair the rain-damaged road network in
the Laos panhandle.
Photography, pilot sightings, and ground observa-
tions through early November, however, also indicate
that the roads in the southern half of the panhandle-.-
opposite northern South Vietnam--are so badly damaged
that no truck traffic to the South Vietnamese border
could have yet taken place much below the area of the
Demilitarized Zone.

Jordan: King Husayn and his regime are facing
mounting popular anta onism as a result of
Israel's attack on 13 November.
Antiregime demonstrations occurred yesterday
in Hebron, capitol of the district in which the attack
took place. About 600 people, most of them students,
shouted insults at the government for its failure to
protect the populace. According to the Hebron governor,
there also were anti-American overtones in the crowd's
chants. Jordanian security officials expect similar
demonstrations today in other towns.

NOTES
25X1
UK-Rhodesia: Britain's acting high commissioner
in Rhodesia, John Hennings, has told US officials that
he has instructions to prepare for a break with the
Smith. regime. Both sides may try to prolong the dia-
logue and he foresees the remote possibility of one.
more visit by a British cabinet minister. He expects,
however, to be back in England for Christmas. Ac-
cording to Hennings, Governor Gibbs, a major prop to
Britain's position in Rhodesia, has asked London to be
relieved. Britain has promised the Commonwealth to
take the Rhodesian issue to the United Nations by the
end of the year
*Ecuador: Former president Camilo Ponce has with-
drawn his candidacy for interim president on the eve of
the opening of the constituent assembly. He evidently
has withdrawn because he and his conservative followers
failed to dominate the preparatory commission of the
assembly, but this may be a political maneuver designed
to elicit further support in his drive for constitutional
president. It is possible that today's inauguration as-
sembly will be marked by serious demonstrations in the
wake of Ponce's recent actions.
