DAILY BRIEF
11 AUGUST 1965
1. North Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
3. USSR
A US A4E light attack bomber may
have been downed by a surface-to-air
missile today. The shooting took place
about 52 miles southwest of Hanoi. A
second plane was damaged but returned
to its carrier. The fate of the other
pilot is not yet known.
There were no earlier indications
of a missile site in this area.
Radar signals associated with sur-
face-to-air missiles were intercepted
from the vicinity of Haiphong yesterday.
Photography has never shown missile
sites around Haiphong, although their
appearance has been expected. The sig-
nals suggest that at least some equipment
is now in place there.
The presence in North Vietnam of
Soviet-type 100-mm. antiaircraft artil-
lery has been confirmed by photography.
An emplacement with eight guns of this
type is located about a mile from two
of the surface-to-air missile sites
northwest of Hanoi. A second eight-gun
site may be located nearby. The effec-
tive range of the 100-mm. gun is estimated
at 39,000 feet. (Photo)
US officials in Saigon have con-
firmed that the relief force has pushed
through to the Duc Co garrison. The
area is now quiet but large Viet Cong
units may be nearby.
There is information that the Soviets
have made yet another deal for Western
wheat, for 1.2 million tons from Argentina.
Payment fpr this purchase, combined
with that for almost 6'million tons
from Canada this year, will almost cer-
tainly require a resumption of Soviet gold
sales, not noted since June 1964, in order
to obtain the necessary foreign exchange.
It may also force a cutback in Soviet or-
ders for Western industrial equipment.

4, Indonesia
5. Kashmir
There has been no solid informa-
tion so far on how the Indonesians plan
to deal with the remains of the Malaysian
Federation.
On the other hand, there has been
no information to indicate that military
and sabotage operations have been called
off. High-level Indonesian officials have
stated publicly that this will go on as
long as the British military remain in
Singapore.
Enough information is now available
to put the current tense situation in some
focus.
From Pakistan,
armed Kashmiri-speaking in-
filtrators are being put across the bor-
der into Indian-held Kashmir in a sus-
tained effort to make it appear that a
genuine uprising is under way.
So far, it appears that the Pakistani
objective is to create a crisis atmosphere
and build up international pressure for a
compromise solution of the long-festering
problem before the Indians impose their
own solution.
There are no signs of a sympathetic
outbreak by the Kashmiris on the Indian
side of the border, where Indian security
forces number more than 100,000.
India is trying to bring interna-
tional pressure on Pakistan to call off
the operation. However, if this fails,
Prime Minister Shastri will find himself
under pressure to respond with force when
Parliament reconvenes on 16 August.

. Aden
7. Yemen
S. Greece
A dialogue of a kind is being kept
going between Nasir and King Faysal over
the possibility of a cease-fire in Yemen.
King Constantine may be edging closer
to his ultimate solution for the crisis:
a military dictatorship. Yesterday morn-
ing however,
he would first make one last try at
a government formed from within Papan-
dreou's party, and, failing that, a try
at a coalition government.
9. Dominican Republic Imbert appears to be sticking to his
acceptance of the OAS proposals on condi-
tion that there are no more concessions to
the rebels.
Within the rebel camp, Juan Bosch's
followers appear willing to accept them
but the various extremist factions are
putting up a variety of objections.
There are continuing reports of ex-
tremist plans for long-term guerrilla and
terrorist activity, presumably beginning
when responsibility for internal security
eventually reverts to a provisional govern-
ment.
