DAILY BRIEF
12 AUGUST 1967
1. Hong.Kong
2. Communist China
The British are still being hard
pressed. Yesterday, and again early
today, mobs of Chinese stormed across
the border. They attacked a police
post and clashed with British troops
before being pushed back into China.
The British have closed most border
crossing points (see map).
Communists inside the Colony con-
tinue sporadic bombing and isolated
mob violence despite police raids on
suspected centers of the terrorist ap-
paratus.
Chinese Red Guards are obstructing
the shipment of food supplies into the
Colony, but this has not yet led to
serious food shortages.

6. Peru
The cost of living rose a. record
16 percent last month, according to
Uruguayan figures just released. This
caps a 37-percent rise from January to
June.
This is just one more sign of the
enormous problems faced by President
Gestido. It goes a long way to explain
the ability of the Communists to manipu-
late organized labor in Uruguay.
We are beginning to see signs of
impatience among the military as the
constitutional impasse drags on. All
security forces have been placed on
alert and--just in case--the minister
of government has ordered preparation
of a decree suspending Peru's equiva-
lent of the Bill of Rights. One report
says top military officers are planning
to intervene directly unless the poli-
ticians quickly agree on a formula per-
mitting installation of Congress,
