DAILY BRIEF
6 NOVEMBER 1965
1. Indonesia
2. Rhodesia
3. Cyprus
There has been little movement in
the situation over the past 24 hours.
Today's cabinet session, in which
the generals were going to press for
certain organizational and personnel
changes, was a draw. Sukarno reaffirmed
his support of Subandrio, "the best for-
eign minister Indonesia has had."
Sukarno did, however, give ground
to the army when he reduced the power
of one of his crypto-Communist advisers.
Sukarno also publicly declared he was
"considering" taking action against the
Communist Party which had been guilty
of "left-wing adventurism"--i.e., reck-
lessness.
Peking's most recent contribution
to the situation has been an appeal for
all good Communists to support Comrade
Aidit. The Chinese added a thinly dis-
guised call for revolutionary action in
Indonesia.
The British are pondering their next
move in the complicated chess game with
the Rhodesians.
The passage of time, however, is
eroding Smith's position, and there is
already talk about the possibility of
his stepping aside in favor of a less
tractable figure.
There has been no firing in the
touchy Famagusta area since yesterday
morning. US officials on Cyprus say the
incident is far from closed, however,
pointing out that armed Greek and Turk-
ish Cypriots there face each other from
positions only 15 yards apart. Communal
tensions are up in other parts of the
island, too.

4. South Vietnam
5. Japan
6. India-Pakistan
7. Thailand
There have been no reports of major
military activity in South Vietnam during
the past day and a half.
On the political scene, grumbling
within the military establishment con-
tinues. Although this does not seem to
have reached dangerous proportions, it
does portend trouble.
Noisy street demonstrations will
doubtless attend consideration of the
Japanese-Korea treaty in the Diet next
week. Japanese security forces are braced
for a big Socialist-Communist effort, and
the demonstrations are not expected to
get out of hand.
The tempo of cease-fire violations
is rising At the stItth eniT:Of the line of
confrontation between Indian and Paki-
stani forces. UN observers say that it
is virtually impossible to police the
cease-fire in this trackless and sparsely
populated region./
Military and police units have been
put on the alert this weekend to guard
against trouble in connection with Armed
Forces Day Monday. Extra precautions
are being taken this year as a result of
a new crop of coup rumors and reports of
possible Communist-inspired terrorism in
Bangkok and the provinces.
