DAILY BRIEF
28 SEPTEMBER 1965
1.: India-Pakistan
2. South Vietnam
Minor violations of the six-day-old
cease-fire continue.
So far, neither side has made any
move to implement the Security Council's
demand that "armed personnel" be with-
drawn to positions held prior to the out-
break of fighting. India interprets
"armed personnel" to include Pakistani
infiltrators in Kashmir and says it will
not budge on the Lahore front until these
are removed.
On the longer term question of a
Kashmir settlement, an Indian official
has indicated that there is some senti-
ment in an otherwise intransigent cabi-
net for "playing along" with the US in
the hopes of yielding as little as pos-
sible on Kashmir.
No other Indian leader has taken
up the public recommendation by an In-
dian leader that the country go ahead
with a nuclear weapons program. We have
estimated that India would need 18 months
to produce a device after such a deci-
sion was taken.

The Viet Cong seem to have become
somewhat more aggressive in the past few
days. They have staged attacks in a
number of areas around Saigon and in the
Mekong Delta.
Again today,(heavy fighting has been
reported between Vietnamese troops and
Communist forces along a.20-mile stretch
of highway in Binh Dinh Province of cen-
tral South Vietnam. This was the scene
of a major engagement late last week.

3. USSR
4. Zambia
5. Congo
Premier Kosygin's detailed report
to the Central Committee dealt more with
new institutional arrangements for Soviet
industry than with the vexed problem of
resources allocation. Details on his pro-
posals for industrial management are still
coming in, and an analysis of how these
may affect productivity in Soviet industry
may take several days.
The Zambians are deeply concerned
over the economic implications of a uni-
lateral declaration of independence by
neighboring Rhodesia.
The Rhodesians have nearly a strangle-
hold on Zambia's economy. They control
the major rail outlet to the sea for Zam-
bian copper, as well as the coal and elec-
tric power needed to keep the copper mines
going.
Officials in Zambia fear that the
white Rhodesians might shut off one or
all of these economic necessities if Rho-
desia faces an African nationalist chal-
lenge after independence.
Rhodesia does seem to be moving
closer to cutting its ties with Britain.
Prime Minister Smith has peremptorily
announced plans to arrive in London next
Monday for showdown talks later in the
week with Wilson. (Map)
Colonel Hoare's mercenaries are run-
ning into their first opposition in the
operation launched Sunday to eliminate
the last rebel pocket in the eastern
Congo. Hoare expects the going to be
slower than in his push on Stanleyville
last fall, largely because of terrain
difficulties and the stiffening presence
of foreign military men among the rebel
forces.

6. Panama
The Panamanian public is generally
satisfied with the tone and content of
last Friday's joint declaration on the
canal treaty talks. Neither the Commu-
nists nor extremist students have com-
mented publicly. They may follow the
lead of opposition leader, Arnulfo Arias,
who yesterday attacked the declaration
as a "deception" of the Panamanians.
7. Dominican Republic Reintegration of rebel military
personnel into the regular ranks began
today but almost immediately hit a
dangerous snag.
? The US air attach?eported by
telephone this afternoon that armed
forces leaders are bitter over the pro-
cedure. They say they have been given
no say as to which rebel officers are
? eligible for reintegration and are accus-
ing President Garcia Godoy of a double-
? cross.
At last word, armed forces minister
Rivera Caminero was in consultation with
Ambassador Bunker and Inter-American
Force Commander, General Alvim. The
attach?elieves he may emerge from the
meeting with a demand that a firm 'date
be set for the long-delayed collection
of arms from the rebel zone.
