DAILY BRIEF
12 APRIL 1967
1. South Vietnam
2. Vietnam
3. Greece
retail prices in Saigon have
leveled off again. Rice supplies have
increased and there has been a corre-
sponding drop in price.
The vote of confidence on Kanel-
lopoulos' government, scheduled for to-
day, has been put off until Friday. We
think Kanellopoulos wants more time to
scrounge up support, but he may yet de-
cide to dissolve parliament and preside
over new elections whether ex-premier
Papandreou likes it or not. Security
forces remain on alert against any fur-
ther demonstrations by Papandreou's sup-
porters.

4, Israel-Syria
5. Soviet Union
6. Soviet Union
The Israelis have reinforced their
troops along the disputed border and the
Syrians seem to be bracing for new hos-
tilities. We believe, however, that the
Israelis are only backing up their "right"
to cultivate the area. Tel Aviv proved
its military superiority last week, and,
barring some serious provocation, prob-
ably will not start another major engage-
ment.
The Syrians fired at an Israeli
tractor yesterday, but missed.
The Egyptians say Moscow will come
up with another 400,000 tons of wheat,
deliveries to start in May. But the
terms--considerably stiffer than last
December's contract for 250,000 tons
and comparable to those of the US Com-
modity Credit Corporation--reflect Mos-
cow's unwillingness to be saddled with
Egypt's wheat requirements.
